Things I am loving this week
Jun 11
I’ll be honest, this week has just plain sucked. Elijah developed a nasty case of constipation, followed by quite the opposite of constipation and with lots of screaming. Lots. At 1, 2, and 3 AM. I am tired, beat down by the children and work. In light of this negative state where I find myself, I thought I would focus on a few small things that are making me happy.
Feel free to try any/all of them out and see if they make your baby screaming/boss yelling/husband gone days any brighter………..
1. Dunken Donuts coffee from Costco. Normally I am a flat out coffee snob. However, in a recent trip to the mothership (Costco) I decided to take a risk and try this coffee. It smells yummy, it’s strong and I now have 5lbs of it.
2. Jergens Natural Glow self tanner. Look, self tanner is tricky business. You can go from zero to ORANGE in 60 seconds flat. But I love this Jergens stuff. It is a good color, it feels more like lotion and it builds slowly so you don’t have streaks. A little tip I discovered with self tanners – put it on and then IMMEDIATELY follow with a healthy dose of your favorite lotion. It helps rub everything in so you don’t get streaks AND it takes away any smell of self tanner. Go forth and be tan!
3. My new watch from Fossil. Kevin bought it for me on vacation in Arizona. It looks surprisingly like the white Rolex that Jennifer Anniston wears but it didn’t cost me my firstborn. Now they have one in clear that I have my eye on….
4. My new-ish cardigan from Banana. It is gray and lovely and it goes with everything. Living here you always need a sweater because the weather can turn on you like a mean girl. Especially during June.
5. Finally, I am loving So You Think You Can Dance. The dancers and what they can command their bodies to do amazes me. Plus I have a mad girl crush on Cat Deeley. I think however if we ever met, it would be really awkward because she might have to bend down to speak with me – much like I do with my 3 year old.
What are some things you all are loving this week?

I am loving, no LOVING:
1. maternity tank tops from Target. Only $9.99 and they are super long and super cute!
2. Crystal Light Raspberry Lemonade. Delish and I cannot stop drinking it.
3. Kirkland bed sheets. Only 500 thread count but they feel like 1,000 thread count! Soooo soft and amazing! I never want to get out of bed.
4. Maybelline Shine Sensational lip gloss ($5.99)!! So yummy and glossy and doesn’t cost as much as Lancome Juicy tubes ($18)
5. Paul Mitchell Moisture condition spray, Awapuhi Moisture Mist. It’s hair and body moisturizer and I am loving how hydrated and soft it makes my hair and skin. I can’t stop using it!!!
Shelf Discovery by Lizzie Skurnick. A book ideal for busy folks – it is a compilation of essays on books that we LOVED as young adult readers. So good!
Oh I love Cat Deeley, too. And her wardrobe. And her accent. And her hair.
Sarah – now that I think about it, you kind of resemble Cat!!!! You lucky girl you!
