I don’t write Things I Love Thursday every week for me — though, of course, it is immensely enjoyable to put together. I write it for you, to inspire you to see the wonderful things in your life. Even when life (apparently) sucks, when we can’t find work & our boyfriend is being a pain in the ass & none of our clothes fit right, our lives are still brimming with miracles & fantastic things! It’s all about perspective, & about training ourselves to look for those good things.

So without further ado, here is my list for this week in May… Write your own, won’t you?!

Metamorphosis by Tracy, the Tracy Anderson Method. It’s no secret that I’ve been obsessed with Tracy Anderson & her training techniques since I first found out about her. Tracy is a personal trainer who, in addition to training some of the biggest stars, has a really different way of working out. She is a dancer & understands that most women want to look long & lithe, not buff & bulky. Her workouts focus on the minor muscles, with the belief that working these exterior muscles will produce the physique you’re fiending for. Well, I was super-lucky to be invited to a Juicy Couture party last week where Tracy took everyone through a workout, & sent us home with her Metamorphosis package!

I started doing it on Sunday, & it is actually much less gruelling than I thought it would be. All you need is a yoga mat & a pair of 3lb weights, & it’s really not complicated. She does a lot of reps at the end, working on legs & booty — sometimes I can do all of them, sometimes I can’t. Regardless, it’s a good challenge, & I can’t tell you how virtuous I feel knowing that I’m working out every day! (Plus, I’m sure that I will soon have a SUPER BOOTY & who doesn’t want that?!)

Exploring Betsey Johnson HQ with Nato, & seeing everything that goes on behind the scenes… It is just as colourful & wonderful as you’re imagining! Nato sent me a little preview of what she’s editing last night, & I can’t wait to share it!

My BlackBerry PlayBook! Ooooooooooh! It arrived yesterday, & I have been fiddling with it non-stop. Well, until Mike came home, stole it & played all the games on it… Isn’t she a beauty? I’ll write a review of it soon, once I’m a little more familiar with it, but for now, I am 100% in love!
