A Few of My Favorite Things- April Edition

I am kind of obsessive when it comes to things I like. Take for instance the Starbucks Green Tea Frappacino (w/ skim milk and no whip, please) that I over indulged on by *needing* daily for about 5 months of my pregnancy. I am just now testing the waters again after that ordeal. But seriously, when it comes to things I really like, you can be sure the opinion is tried, tested, and true. Maybe nobody cares, but lately there are things I've been so into that I've thought about singing their praises in separate posts...so how 'bout one big lovefest write up for all of them?!

Here, in no particular order, are a few of my favorite things (are you singing it in your head too?):

J.Crew Flats

Love. These are some of the best fitting flats I've ever owned. They are supportive, good quality materials, and absolutely adorable. J. Crew shoes are usually not in my budget (or at least the one D and I agree to...), but after getting this pair during a J. Crew Factory 40% off sale, I will absolutely purchase more in the future. Next big sale, consider it a new pair for my closet.

Sally Hansen- Commander in Chic

Anyone who knows me well can tell you that I am capital B, Boring when it comes to nail polish. I prefer a clean, classy, neutral nail- think OPI Bubblebath. Me getting really crazy would probably be a holiday red in the fall or winter and that is only for a pedicure. Chipped fingernails are a pet peeve of mine. Any who, after reading about this color a couple of places I gave it a whirl, and guess what? Swoon. It is the perfect purple-gray-taupe combo and looks super "chic" on short fingernails. The hubs is not a fan, but I like this color so much that he is over ruled. I'd show you a self portrait, since I just touched up my fingers today, but nobody wants to see my man hands, so just trust me and go buy a bottle. It's cheap too. Bonus!

Yoplait Smoothies

You can find these in the frozen fruit section of your grocery store. Add a cup of milk and voila! You have two servings of smoothie (or one really big one, since you wont wanna share)! If you like to jazz things up, add a scoop of protein powder or peanut butter. I've been on a huge smoothie kick. Like, must have one once a day. Sometimes, if I've worked out in the afternoon and don't feel like making dinner {read: Lazy} I just throw one of these bad boys together. Easy peasy.

New iTunes Songs

I just got a few new songs for the old iPod. Running is so much more enjoyable when I can mix it up with some new music. I know one of my previous posts showcased my rap faves. Clearly I'm a teenybopper at heart, 'cause here are the newbies:

1. Katy Perry feat. Kanye West- E.T.
2. Britney Spears- Till the World Ends
3. The Black Eyed Peas- Just Can't Get Enough

McCafe Iced Coffee

My mom can vouch for this one. I think she's been on the phone with me at least 5 times in the last two weeks when I've been hitting up the drive through. Gross, I know, but I don't get anything else from there. I need coffee to make the hour commute to work and it's getting so hot that iced is the only way to go this time of year. I get a large, regular iced coffee and it is awesome. Like, better than Starbs and half the price awesome. I won't rave about this for too long, because I know...it's McD's and you all are going to send a rescue party to bring me back from the dirty South if I keep it up! ;)

and last one...

My little nugget...(duh)

With my dad -aka "Pops" :)

My dad came to visit this past weekend and poor G was sick for about 2/3 of the time. Finally Saturday night she started to feel a little better and we got some smiles out of her. Sunday morning she was just like always, back to her giggly self. It was a quick couple of days, but great to see my dad and G just adored him. No stranger danger here! Ha! We can't wait to see him and other family again soon.

Man, I love that little girl...I get all warm and fuzzy just looking at her pictures. :)

That's it for now! I should probably put a baby edition of my faves together soon. I know a few mommy's to be who I can't wait to spoil with baby treats!

xo,
