1) This article explains the after math of the Atlanta traffic nightmare. Turns out Georgia Governor Nathan Deal is responsible for the delayed response efforts, which left people stranded for over 24 hours. 

2) What better way to prepare for Super Bowl Sunday than by watching the twelve best football movies - especially those recommended by Vogue!

3) I hadn't heard of Humans of New York until my brother gave me the book for Christmas. Now, I check their blog and Instagram account everyday. The blog's creator photographs people all over New York, collecting short stories and quotes from every person he meets. The stories and people are truly amazing and definitely worth reading about. 

4) Did you miss the State of the Union address? Or did it just completely go over your head? Here's an easy and understandable break down of what Obama said (image via). 

5) As a New Yorker and a New Jerseyan, we're curious about how the 48th Super Bowl could affect the economy of our states. This article explains what we can believe about the economic estimates, and what we should be weary of.

When we joined our gym as beginners a year ago, we started with this exact workout routine. It's really easy to get into and we definitely saw results. For the most part, all of our workout inspiration comes from the app POPSUGAR Active by PopSugar. It's absolutely amazing because it provides short workout videos in various categories including: running, yoga, cardio and strength training (full-body, abs, arms, back, and butt). You can even build workouts within the app by saving your favorite short videos and creating a longer routine. 

Interval Cardio Workout: Research shows interval training burns more calories in a shorter amount of time than steady cardio. If level 15 incline is a struggle, start lower and work your way up - that's what we did! 

10-Minute Arm Workout: This 10-minute arm workout is perfect because it covers everything from your biceps to your triceps. If you get tired of this one, POPSUGAR Active has a ton of options to try. We're constantly switching around our arm workouts. 

6-Minute Upper Thigh Workout: Six minutes may seem short but, after the interval training, it's the perfect amount of time for a leg workout. Again, there are so many leg options to try on the app and we are constantly switching it up. Having the trainers motivate you and count out the reps is more helpful than you'd think. 

5-Minute Ab Workout:  This 5-minute ab workout works every zone of your midsection with 5 simple moves. If doing each move for a full minute is to long, try doing them for 30 seconds first and repeating twice. 

 Additionally, POPSUGAR Active has a ton of full body workout videos that are packed into 10 or 20 minutes. These are great for days when you don't have a lot of time!

Katy Perry is our top choice for the 2014 Grammys. Not only is Valentino always stunning, but this dress perfectly combines elegance and fun. The musical notes are obviously fitting for the night and are actually the score of a song, La Traviata, by Giuseppe Verdi. The inspiration for the Spring 2014 Valentino Couture was centered around the Italian opera, set design, and theatrical productions. 

Though we hate to see Taylor Swift in another sparkly dress, this chain metal Gucci gown is breathtaking. The neckline is beautiful and looks extremely flattering on her body type. Giuliana Rancic looked incredible in this orange Alex Perry dress. Again, we're in love with this neckline on her. The sheer lace top, trimmed in white, is the perfect combination. This strapless Azzaro dress was exceptionally flattering on Anna Kendrick. Her flawless hair and makeup are definitely our favorite aspect of the look. The gowns we've seen on pregnant stars lately haven't been great (with the exception of Olivia Wilde at the Golden Globes), but Ciara looked fabulous rocking her baby bump in this long sleeve Emilio Pucci dress.  

Looks we wish we saw:

Let us know your favorites!

1) Mrs. O  is a blog dedicated to the Michelle Obama's impeccable style. She is the queen of put together and looks amazing whether she's in J. Crew or J. Mendel.
(Photographed wearing Marchesa at the Kennedy Center Honors in December) 

2) A TED talk featuring Eric Whitacre,  "A Virtual Choir 2,000 Voices Strong" . This video is unlike anything I have ever seen.

3) If you haven't heard of the Aerie Real campaign, this article is a must. American Eagle's underwear line, Aerie, emphasizes the importance of untouched photos and real women. 

4) It's that time of year again! The Sundance Film Festival is currently happening in Park City, Utah. If you're a little behind on the Sundance updates (like me) here is a list of the seven most anticipated movies. 

5) Ralph Lauren just revealed the 2014 Winter Olympic outfits….what do you think of these over the top sweaters?

I never realized how much stuff I carry around in my school bag everyday! EOS in mint is currently my favorite hydrating lip balm, I highly recommend it if you have not tried it already. I switch up which tote I use for class often, but always go back to the classic Longchamp because it's the perfect size and it comes in a million different colors. Kind bars are a great snack to hold me over through long days of back to back classes, the almond coconut one is my favorite.

I just got my black Joie tote bag for Christmas and it's quickly become a favorite. It's the perfect size and fits everything from my notebooks to my laptop and iPad. An absolute necessity of mine is my MyAgenda mini. I've been using this planner since my senior year of high school and I don't see myself looking for a new one anytime soon. I used to get the desktop size, but this year switched to the mini. Though I love both, I would recommend the mini if you like to have your planner with you at all times (like me!). Also, be prepared for some ridicule since the company is called "MomAgenda" - I promise it's worth it. Similar to my MyAgenda mini, I always like to keep chapstick, hand cream, and a casual lip gloss in all of my bags. These are definitely my top three favorites. 

Cheers!
