Things I Like
In no particular order, here are things that I really dig right now:
My Kindle. I have the one pictured above, with 3G. People are always saying they don’t know if they can give up the experience of reading a real book. I don’t care in the least. The display feels the same to my eyes as reading paper and it’s super light weight makes reading in bed much more comfortable! Plus, I love that I can have a book on my Kindle the moment it becomes available. I had been eagerly awaiting the release of the new Pink Carnation book (I will discuss them in a future post!) and I pre-ordered it on my Kindle. On Thursday at 12:01, it automatically downloaded! Instant satisfaction. I won’t even mention the ability to change the text size or the built-in dictionary…
Gap 1969 Perfect boot jeans. These are the only jeans I have found in years that don’t fall down when I’m wearing them or gap at the back when I’m sitting. They are the only jeans I’ve had in years that don’t have a saggy butt and hips on me. Love!
The Body Shop’s Shea Body Butter. Anyone I tell about this always gives me a weird look because it’s called “body butter”. This is THE BEST lotion I have ever had. It is the only thing that gets my poor dry skin through the winter. Also, it smells divine. I’m not a big fan of wearing perfumes or other scents, but this has a very very subtle scent that lasts quite a while. I cover myself in this in the morning and it’s still working at night. It’s a bit pricey, but a tub of it lasts me several months and it’s worth it to avoid the dry, itchy winter skin!
Method cleaning products. I first got into these because I wanted a bathroom cleaner that didn’t leave that horrible cloud of toxic fumes around the shower. All the products are supposed to be environmentally friendly, but I don’t know enough about that to say if it’s true or not. I just know that none of them have that horrible chemical smell! The ones I love and use are the tub n’ tile cleaner (pictured above), the toilet cleaner, glass cleaner, dish detergent, wood cleaner, hard floor cleaner, multi-surface spray, and kitchen antibacterial cleaner. Can you tell I’m in love?
Thirty-One Gifts. There’s a reason I sell this stuff, people. I looooove it. I love being all matchy-matchy too. I would gladly own everything in the above picture, in all it’s hot-pink lime-green glory. Specifically, I love my Retro-Metro bag and my Large tote. I use that giant tote for everything, especially for corralling groceries in my car and then carrying them inside all in one load.
Moroccan Oil. OH MY GOSH, you guys. This stuff makes my hair feel awesome. It takes me about half the time to straighten my hair when I use this and it looks twice as good. Not to mention the fact that it smells wonderful. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, to the lovely Jenna for this one. My life will never be the same.
E-mealz! It’s $15 for 3 months. You sign up for a certain plan and each week you get a dinner meal plan and corresponding grocery list. We have the Aldi’s for 2 plan and it’s great. The plan is tailored to what Aldi is carrying and has 5 dinners a week (The family meal plans have 7). You get a grocery list that’s organized into the different store areas. It makes dinner planning and shopping so much easier.

I use the website and the iPhone app. They have the One Year Bible reading plan now and it’s so convenient! It pulls up all the readings for you and you have a check list so you can check them off. I am a sucker for check lists!
S’mores Pop-Tarts. Yes please! These are my guilty pleasure. Yes, they have a disgusting amount of sugar. Yes, I love them anyway. I’m not a big fan of other Pop-Tarts, though. It’s all about that graham cracker crust.
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri nail polish. I am really digging this stuff. When it says it dries in 60 seconds, it is not kidding! It goes on really thick and dries right away, so it’s like instant polish! It’s not the best quality stuff I own or the best colors, but it’s great when you don’t have lots of time. I love that it dries before I have a chance to smudge it! Now if I could only get it in my current favorite nail color…
