these are a few of my favorite [new] things

I decided that for today's post, I would share a couple of my favorite new things.

1. First up, my new favorite -- and probably all time favorite -- blog. Seriously, Elsie and Emma have created a masterpiece with their blog, a beautiful mess . If you don't believe me, just check out this screenshot or better yet go here .
Crafts, photography, recipes, decor, fashion, AND beauty? Seriously, what more could a girl want?! I am in love with their work. They feature weekly recipes, diy inspiration, and helpful tips for everything you can imagine. If you haven't checked them out, do so NOW. And leave lots of love.

2. My favorite work that isn't really work - BzzAgent (pronounced Buzz Agent)
This site has also become a new favorite of mine thanks to my good friends Lori Alvarez and Kari Hunter. Kari got Lori hooked, and I joined up because of Lori. And now some of my friends are joining...I like to think of it as a big *buzzing* circle of love. (ha)
So what is BzzAgent?
Well, from the mouth of BzzAgent Jono, "You try products and services and share your honest opinions about them by starting conversations with people you know, online and off. Then you tell us about those conversations to help companies improve their products."
Seriously, that's it! When you first get started, you take a bunch of surveys --a ton, really, but I promise they end-- so they can figure out what you like and don't, and to match you with BzzCampaigns that would fit your interests. I had my first BzzCampaign within a week of joining, and I'll be sharing my opinion of those products later on the blog. If you're interested in BzzAgent, go here.

3. My favorite photography blog. --Okay, so this isn't a new favorite, but I like it so much, I figured I'd share it anyways. Of course, my bestie Haley Sheffield
This lady has been my best friend since middle school. We've had those ups and downs of friendship but ultimately we made it through all of that to become what we are today. I think part of the reason that our friendship works is that it contains the right amount of balance...just like her photography. If you've never had a session with Haley, you are truly missing out. She approaches photography with such professionalism and ease that any insecurity you've ever had about being in front of the camera quickly fades away. She's down to earth and the real deal.
And, because I can't help but swoon over this romantic session, here's a snippet of one of her latest.
