My Favorite Things (September 2015)

I thought it would be fun to share 10 of my favorite things each month.  I will be sharing some food, products, and maybe even some destinations.   I would love for you to leave a comment and tell me some things you are loving right now too.   It’s always fun to find new things to love!   Here are my 10 things for the month of September:

Starbucks Raspberry Swirl Pound Cake – I got addicted to this yummy pound cake several months ago and I try to pick it up anytime I stop at Starbucks (Starbucks is like a once a month thing for me, so no worries – I’m not going crazy).  My sister did come up with a copy cat recipe for the Raspberry Swirl Pound Cake which can also feed my addiction.

Kindle Voyage – I am an avid reader and I love to read ebooks.  I have previously been reading my books on my iPad but the light was a little harsh at night so I finally splurged and bought the Kindle Voyage with Adaptive Built-in Light & PagePress Sensors.  I adore this handy little device!!!  If you didn’t notice, my frugal self even went for the more expensive model (my husband talked me into it).  The features that comes on this one are the adaptive built in light, which I honestly don’t use (I set the  light myself to the brightness I want) and the PagePress Sensors which I do use and love!  If you are interested in a Kindle I would also recommend the All-New Kindle Paperwhite.

Dole Chopped Sunflower Crunch Salad Kit – My grocery store had a great sale on the Dole salad kits so I gave the Dole Chopped Sunflower Crunch Salad Kit a try and now I am hooked.   Salad is a good addiction to have, right?  The dressing that comes in this kit is Sweet Onion & Citrus and it is yummy!  I usually prep 3-days worth of lunches by pouring the contents of the salad kit into 3 containers and storing them in the fridge.

Simple Cleansing Wipes –  I found a sale on the Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes last month and now I can’t imagine cleaning my face at night without them.  I seriously love the convenience of these wipes.  I will continue to buy these handy little wipes and I plan to stock-up when I see a sale.

Skip the Unicorn Backpack – I needed a gift for a little one so I picked up this Skip Hop Zoo Little Kid Unicorn Backpack and it is seriously the cutest thing ever.  Makes me kind of wish my kids were little again.  I love the little touches like the rainbow zipper pulls.  It’s the cutest I tell you…the cutest!

Kelsea Ballerini (Amazon Prime Music) – I have Amazon Prime and one of the features I love is all the FREE Amazon Music I can enjoy.   Lately I have been listening to the Kelsey Ballerina – First Time album over and over.  She’s kind of country/pop.  The majority of the songs are upbeat and they make cleaning the house not so miserable . Bonus!  My daughter loves the songs too so we can sing and dance around the kitchen and annoy all the boys in the house.  Fun stuff!

Thankful Marquee – I fell in love with this Thankful Marquee at Target the first time I saw it.   I am a girl that usually waits around for clearance to buy holiday decor, but I snatched this one up now (with a 20% off Cartwheel offer).  I figured it was something I could use year round even.  I love it all lit up on my mantle, it  totally makes me happy!

Basil Plant (Trader Joe’s) – I picked up this Basil Plant at Trader Joe’s for only $2.99.  We have been using it like crazy!  We use it on our homemade pizza, in our spaghetti sauce, on sandwiches and in the yummy Caprese Salad. I am using it way more than I thought I would, it makes every thing taste so fresh.   Next time you head to Trader Joe’s pick one up, you will love it!

Husky Football Games – September is one of my favorite months and one of the reasons is because it’s football time!  My family loves to head to Husky football games every Saturday we can.  I love the weather, the atmosphere, the good food and fun.    Go Dawgs!

Bath & Body Works Soaps – I love the Bath & Body Works soaps all the time, but I especially love them when fall rolls around and I can use the yummy fall scents.  Right now I am loving the Sunlight & Apple Trees and Sweet Cinnamon & Pumpkin.
