Favorite Things

Since there's not much to do other than sit inside today, I thought I'd post a few of my favorite things of late.

1. Yankee Candles. My favorite scents of the moment are Clean Cotton and Pomegranate Cider. It doesn't really make sense, but the smell just makes me smile. I don't get it, but I like it.

2. Fiber One Bread. First of all, it's one of the few breads I've found WITHOUT High Fructose Corn Syrup. I used to always eat "lite" bread which tasted like cardboard - and was less substantial then a cracker. Fiber One Bread has 100 calories per slice, but it is so filling and thick and delicious, it is well worth it. I put a thin layer of peanut butter on two pieces, have a protein shake with soy milk, and it's a perfect breakfast that keeps me full until noon.

3. This weather. Well, not today's weather (silly Irene), but it's been cooling down as the fall is getting closer. People at work complain that "the summer is over", but I think the fall is quite beautiful as well. The winter is another story ;)

4. Free weekends. I was pretty bummed on Friday that we decided not to head down to New York, but a weekend of "nothing" has been wonderfully relaxing. I woke up super early yesterday and today, probably because I was in bed at about 9 at night.

5. The Body Shop. It's a small store in the mall and I don't get there often, but when I do, the service is always impeccable and the employees are always incredibly helpful. It's a bit pricey, but it's cruelty free and has some amazing scents (Satsuma...heaven!) Check it out if you can. Yesterday I bought a grapefruit "flavored" lip gloss and it is to die for!

Hope everyone is safe and with the ones they love.
