Better Oats, Oat Fit, Cinnamon Roll - Best instant (and healthy) oatmeal I've ever had. SCORE: 5 out of 5. No added sugar. Great consistency. Great flavor. Easy to prepare. Only 100 calories. Am I sounding like a commercial? Well, maybe. I just wish it were a tad bit cheaper.

#19 What I'm grateful for today

Today I'm grateful for random compliments from strangers. It really does brighten up my day.

Product Review: ice cream & mascara

Klondike's Choco Taco - was not exactly what I thought it would be. SCORE: 2 out of 5. The chocolate taco shell was stale and I tasted more vanilla than chocolate. Not okay with this little miss chocoholic.

Rimmel Volume Accelerator Mascara - I love this product and it has become my every day mascara. SCORE: 4 out of 5. I don't know if it has actually made my eyelashes thicker (like it claims) but I can attest that less of my eyelashes fall out. It's a bit more runny in consistency and takes a little longer to dry, but I love it.

#18 What I'm grateful for today

Today I'm grateful for that moment I realize Yes! I can get away without washing my hair today.

#17 What I'm grateful for today

Today I'm grateful for that moment I see my loved ones after a long weekend away. It is wonderful having someone to miss. And I love when people tell me that they have missed me.

Broccoli Bites

I like raw broccoli. I don't like cooked broccoli. But, my goodness, this looks great! I will try this!

In the spirit of Valentine's Day, I wanted to share these beautiful red dresses with you. Aren't they fabulous? And wouldn't it be wonderful to have a place to wear a dress like one of these? 

If you happen to have a place to wear a dress like this tomorrow...good for you.
Or if you plan to bake heart-shaped cookies for your valentines tomorrow...also good for you.
Whatever you do, I hope you hear at least one "I love you" tomorrow. 
And don't forget to tell someone you love them too. 
It's good for the heart.

Product Review: Lacey's

Trader Joe's Laceys Cookies - you'll end up eating more than one. SCORE: 5 out of 5. It's a beautiful blend of chocolate and toffee. They're comfort and sophistication wrapped up in a delicate package. Top five favorite cookie category. Keep in mind that it is more candy than cookie.

Rainy day color

I'm going to buy a yellow umbrella because if you're forced to use it one day (or everyday if you live in Seattle), it'll probably be the only yellow insight. And yellow would POP next to an ugly grey sky.

#16 What I'm grateful for today

Today I'm grateful for that moment when I look at the clock and can't believe how long I've been talking with good friends...and that I discovered my new favorite cupcake:

Trophy's chocolate graham cracker cupcake

And the good news? The recipe can be found HERE!

#15 What I'm grateful for today

Today I'm grateful for that feeling I get before date night. I love letting myself get lost in my thoughts: what to wear, what to order at dinner, etc....oh, love.

Perfect shades of blue

 

Happy Friday

Groundhog Day

 Is this day anything but silly?

Most folklore is anyway.
