I feel like all my days are blending together now since I’m not working my 8-5 job anymore, all the days kind of seem the same.
So if you’re a little scattered brained like me…it’s FRIDAY!
Is it happy hour yet?
It’s 6am, so a mimosa or bloody would be appropriate right now…
Lately, I feel like I’ve been saying everything is my favorite. I eat something and it’s “my favorite meal of ALL time” and “this is my favorite restaurant” or “oooooo, I love this nail color..it’s my favorite!”
I tend to have a flair for the dramatic and I’m extremely indecisive…but really you guys, these are my favorite things I cannot live without these days!
French Vanilla Vega One…need I say more?
Based on my WIAWs, you guys know I drink a green smoothie just about every morning except for some weekend mornings. They’re my first breakfast. Then I drink two cups of coffee while answering email and writing and then I make breakfast number two. I love my morning routine.
I’ve tasted a lot of plant based protein powders, but every single one pales in comparison to VegaOne.
It’s a bit pricier than other protein powder, but I justify that because it’s SO much more than just protein. Not only is it a whole foods protein source from brown rice, saviseed, hemp and pea that hasn’t been heavily processed, but it’s chock full of super foods like maca, chlorella, alfalfa. It also has your daily needs of omega 3s [from chia and flax] along with THREE servings of veggies in one scoop. It also has a probiotic blend to support a healthy gut and boost your immune system and provides 50% of your daily vitamin/mineral needs so you save money from not buying a multivitamin. You can buy it on Amazon, but I buy it on iherb.com and use the coupon GGV682 for 10 bucks off. My favorite flavor is french vanilla with chocolate coming in a close second! Oh, and vega doesn’t pay me to say that, I just really love and support their entire brand.
Another food obsession…coconut oil. I’ve waxed poetic about my adoration for this healthy fat. It also keeps your skin and hair super soft and shiny! I love it on my morning bowl of oats, in any and all baked goods and also spread on toast or homemade banana bread!
Spring scarves! I can throw on a soft knit tee and a fun scarf and feel like I’m publicly presentable even if I haven’t washed my hair in three days. The top two below are from World Market and the bottom flowery one is from Kohls for like 10 bucks, I love ’em all and plan on buy 157 more.
Anthropologie latte bowls, my favorite kitchen dishes that I use all the time. They’re adorable, super sturdy and come in all kinds of fun colors. I need to get some new ones to brighten up this collection. Plus I love just stacking them on my counter since they’re so bright!
Naturally Nutty Pepita Sun Seed Butter. Ya’ll, I’m for real when I say this is my favorite nut butter of all time. My super thoughtful friend Mary got me this jar for my birthday…because all 25 year olds get nut butter for their birthday…and I can’t believe I’ve gone SO long without it. It’s a bit pricey and you have to order it online [or our Great Harvest carries it] but it’s flipping off-the-wall amazing. Vanilla-y, cinnamon-y, slightly sweet and full of chia + hemp!
This Kavu sling backpack my big hearted and loving friend Whit got me for my birthday. I’ve been gushing over her backpack for months now and asked her where she bought it because I was going to order one last week, then she surprised me for my birthday! It’s so practical. I can carry it to the gym, grocery shopping and really anywhere and it holds all my things. Plus I love the basic grey with the funky bright zipper and strap.
And, something I’ve been loving since last fall and won’t be able to live without for the rest of my life [dramatic, no?] is TJs coconut butter hand/body cream! I use this 24/7 and it keeps my hands so soft all year round. Plus is smells fab. I do use coconut oil on my skin often, but this cream is just as moisturizing without the greasy feeling. And it’s $4.99, holllaaaaa.
I’m for real kids, these are my very favorite things!
Happy weekending!
