A Berkshire Blanket and Snoopy collaboration. Two of my favorite things.
Keeping a book journal is something new I am doing this year. I love to read, and spend much of my free time doing just that. Sometimes I forget what books I've read or what thoughts I've had, so this might be a fun and productive way to revisit them.
I am loving this naturally flavored sparkling water. I am really limiting my soda consumption, as middle age is not as forgiving as the teenage years, but I still like something special every now and then. This is delicious and simply flavored with natural ingredients. Plus, it comes in a can, not a plastic bottle!
With apologies to Yankee, Goose Creek is my new favorite candle brand. (Except my forever and ever favorites: Spiced Pumpkin, Home for the Holidays, and Christmas Eve, by Yankee Candle.)This is Red, White, and Blue, and it smells like cherry, citrus, and blue raspberry.
This moisturizer is excellent. It is a bit more expensive, but having had one round of Basal Cell Skin Cancer on my face, I put a great deal of importance on skin safety. This is SPF 40, and it smells great and feels good on my face. I have a thing about the feel of sunscreen on my face, but this just feels like moisturizer. I then use the Tinted SPF for a tiny bit of color and some added protection. Plus, these are all natural!
This is my favorite scent. It is also the only scent I wear, unless you count the lavender lotion I apply before bed. I have worn Amazing Grace for years and years, and I love that my kids associate the light scent of it with me. They say it smells "like Mom". I have received numerous compliments over the years, and what I hear is...You smell so good! Not...I like your perfume! Big difference.
Lastly, I'm loving our favorite summer meal... pasta with tomatoes. I use garden tomatoes and fresh garlic sautéed in olive oil. Then I add cooked pasta and a little bit of the water, with some fresh basil. Top it with freshly grated Parmesan and enjoy! This week, I added grilled zucchini and some organic chicken tenders.
Well, there you are. Just a few of my tried and true favorites! Have a cozy day, my friends. It is getting dark here. I think a storm is brewing!
