Things that I am loving recently:
HBO GO
For those of you that have HBO, I would highly recommend HBO
GO. HBO puts all of their series,
documentaries and even movies up on the site and you can stream them whenever
you want. I have the iPhone app and
during my lunch I have been catching up on True Blood. The site even remembers where you are in the
show so the next time you turn on the app or the next time you watch the show
at your computer, the show starts up right where you left off.
By the way, friends begged me to start watching True Blood
and although it is cheesy and silly at times, it’s not too bad. Of course nothing compares to Game of Thrones
(a show that I can now watch over and over and over and over because of this
site). :-)
When my hair stylist recommended that I start using a hydrating conditioner
(in addition to my everyday conditioner), all I thought was, how much is this
going to cost? Turns out not very
much. I think that I might have paid $25
for the bottle and I only use a dime size dollop of it about two times a week
(you have to leave it in your hair for about 2 minutes while in the shower). I have had the bottle for over a year and I'm still not halfway through it. It smells amazing
(almost like a freshly-baked cake) and makes my hair feel 10 times softer. Even though I only get my hair cut every 12
weeks or so, I don’t have as many split ends and my hair is healthier. BUY THIS PRODUCT.
Columbia Back Up Just
Right Pant
I kid you not- these are the most comfortable pants in the
history of the world. And the best part
about them? You can take them hiking OR
wear them to work (yes I wore them to work yesterday). These pants are extremely comfortable and
look like black dress pants. My only
complaint is that they put the Columbia logo on the back side of the pant-
which is fine, but I have to make sure that I wear a long enough shirt to cover
up the logo when I wear the pants to work.
Yeah. Love these things. Will buy another pair soon.
Passion flavored Tazo
tea
I generally hate iced tea.
I love hot fruity teas and hot Chai tea, but hate when they are
iced. But this tea changed my mind. I have been trying to drink less Crystal
Light because it has all kinds of artificial ingredients….but needed something
else to drink other than water. Now all
I have to do is heat up the tea kettle, hang three bags of the tea into the pitcher
and voila! Three minutes later I have
delicious iced tea. Love it.
The neighborhood
around our new house in IL
Yes that’s right! The
seller verbally agreed to our last and final offer yesterday. We had to come up a bit from our first offer,
but my Dad thinks that we got a great deal.
So I have been checking out what is around our new place and have found
some cool things about our new place. It
is 2 blocks away from the train station that is going to take me downtown to
work every day, 2 blocks away from the Public Library, 2 blocks away from a
park, 2 blocks away from another public park (this one with a swimming pool,
tennis courts, baseball field, etc), and 2 ½ blocks away from an ice cream shop
and other restaurants (that ice cream shop could be deadly to my
waistline!). It even looks like a
poultry shop that has free range and hormone-free chicken and eggs is only a
few blocks away! It really is a fantastic
location- maybe we can even get rid of one of the cars?
I found this site while perusing Pinterest and I LOVE it (it
even has an iPhone app). Designers and
regular people can upload pictures of houses they have worked on and people
like me can go on to the site, view the pictures, ask questions, and save the
pictures to “ideabooks.” This site is
PERFECT for our fixer-upper because they we can get a bunch of ideas together and
really decide what we want to do with the house.
Facetime
CP recently got an iPhone and I'm so glad that he did! Last night was the first time we were able to use Facetime to talk to each other and it was great! Not quite the same as talking to each other face-to-face, but better than just a phone call. It will help get me through being stuck in CT until August.

What have you been loving recently?
*Sadly enough I was not compensated for these reviews, or
even asked to do them. Just thought I
would spread the word about things that have been making me happy
recently. :-)

Ooooh, thanks for telling me about HBO Go. It will come in handy when we take a 2-week vacation in August! =)
Also, the location of your (hopefully) new home sounds really ideal. Can't wait to find out what community you're actually moving to (I promise, I won't stalk!).
Congrats on the house! The location sounds ideal. I love living within walking distance of so many things. We were able to get down to 1 car because of it, which saves a ton of money.
The hair product sounds awesome...but no salons here in Oregon carry it. Boo! Those pants sound great too. Since I live in the home of Columbia, I'll have to check them out post-baby.
Oh, HBO Go. I also love HBO Go. We recently moved into a furnished rental temporarily and the cable is included in the rent. No HBO Go. I then tried to use my in-laws cable account to login but it requires the password to my father-in-law's actual email account. I thought that might be asking too much. Sigh.
I am SO EXCITED to see what you do with the house! buying a fixer is totally my dream!
I love Tazo and the passion fruit is one of my favorites.
You neighborhood sounds ideal. I can't wait to hear more about it. I think I may have an idea though :)>
Ha! I was just showing off the HBO GO app to my boss at lunch today. I'm constantly amazed by how much content they've got on there.
ALSO YAY HOUSE!
