Happy Hump Day! I love that it doesn’t even feel like Wednesday because of the shortened week, already counting down to the weekend! So over the past week I’ve stumbled upon some things (beyond random things) that I’m more than loving and wanted to share the raves with the chance you’d love them as much as I do…
Jo Malone Body Treatment Scrub: So my good friend Kristen (also preggos – with twins!!) has been telling me to buy this scrub for a couple of months now. As much as I trust her opinion, I was being cheap. $85 for a body scrub?! Well after she kept telling me that the Vitamin E based scrub would do wonders for my ever-so-stretching skin, I finally caved. Hey, at least I’m saving on all of the non-maternity clothes I can’t buy, so I splurged on a skin product (something I never do). Well, I’m now going to mimic Kristen and say if you’re needing a great gift for someone who deserves something amazing that they may not buy for themselves, or if you’re reading this and like me are realizing you’re worth a splurge now and then go out and buy this scrub. Seriously, do it…my skin has never felt so great! Plus it at least is huge and will hopefully last a while.
Mike and Ike’s Lem and Mel: So as you know I have a sweet tooth for candy. Rarely chocolate or rich desserts, but candy, so I’m always scoping out any new treats that hit the shelves. Bad habit, I know, but I at least only eat a little at a time since it’s so sweet. Well I’m thrilled that Mike and Ike’s have brought back retro style Lem and Mel boxes! These originally were available back in 1991 but were then discontinued until late last year and I’m finally able to find them at my local Walgreen’s, as well as online. As you may have guessed, the box only features Lemon and Watermelon flavors. Yum!!
Pop2K: Anyone that has SiriusXM Radio in theirs cars needs to turn the station to Pop2K (Channel 10) asap! A recently new station, it features (you guessed it) pop hits from the millennium’s first decade. We’re talking a little N’Sync, a little Nelly, a little Eminem, and a lot of greatness! So fun to listen to tunes that immediately makes me think of high school or college.
Corn Craze: This past weekend I attended a BBQ at my sister-in-law and her bf’s place with the two families. As soon as dinner was ready to be attacked his brother was serving the corn he had thrown on the grill and asked if I wanted regular or lime and paprika. Say whaaat? Lime and paprika?? Screw the regular, boring, disgustingly bland corn, I’ll most certainly try the one that sounds like it’s bursting with flavor, thank you very much! So the charred corn was literally just covered in lime juice and paprika, not even butter, and I was hooked after my first bite. Changed my corn eating life instantaneously and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to go back. I’m telling you, this is something you need to try at your next BBQ! Or it’s worth gathering anyone with taste buds and having a BBQ just to try it!
Hope you enjoy the (random) tips!
