Friday Favorites

1. Strawberry Cream Cheese
 My current weakness: bagel with strawberry cream cheese and sliced strawberries sprinkled with truvia (at least the last bit isn't completely sinful!) Seriously good and very springy don't you think? P.S. truvia is the best (well obviously besides sugar!)

2. Chic Succulents
 I am dying for the collection of various succulents I just bought. Maybe went a little overboard considering I have no clue how I will pot them or where I will put them but oh so chic! They are all so different and difficult to kill - a definite plus!

3. White Begonias
 I bought a bunch of flowers for my porch and my white begonias are by far doing the best. Instead of barely hanging on like the rest, they look fantastic and and are actually thriving. I don't have the best track record with the whole sun/part shade/ shade thing because kentucky seems to continually be rocking the part shade look, so I never know where to put things. Steve has no faith in my gardening abilities so at least this one little pots stacks up in my favor.

4. Hello Kitty Bandaids
 because apparently packing is a dangerous sport! Or maybe it is that my house is a total obstacle course at the moment. Either way I am constantly bruised and bleeding.

5. Aveno Pomegranate and Rice Body Wash
 love love love this stuff. Its slightly grainy which is always nice because I feel extra clean. And the smell is very delicate, so it is not overpowering once you get out of the bath. I have been skipping around with different TJ-Maxx finds and old christmas gifts, but I think I will stick with this one for a while.

6. Baking Soda
 I seriously buy the stuff by the bagful at Sam's these days. I am addicted. I especially love it for sprinkling on my carpet before I vacuum and for whitening my teeth. (I don't use it everyday, but a brushing with it couple times a week is perfect.) I also throw in a 1/2 cup in the wash, use it to clean/scrub pans, obviously have a box in the refrigerator,  and I sprinkle it on just about anything that smells bad before washing or vacuuming it out. Can you tell I am in love with the stuff? Plus It couldn't be any cheaper!

Peace. Love. and Derby Hats!
