5 Things We Love Right Now
Paper Towels
Years ago, when select-a-size paper towels were introduced, I wasn’t a fan. I don’t remember specifically why I didn’t approve of the third-size option. I don’t like change, so I think that must have been the reason. My views, however, have made an about-face, and now I get frustrated when I accidentally purchase regular-sized paper towels. By mistake, I recently bought paper towels that can be torn off in quarters, and that was a happy accident! For anyone who is constantly tearing paper towels into smaller pieces, these are for you!

Lessons from Lucy
I am a big fan of humorist Dave Barry. My very favorite piece of his is “Bang the Tupperware Drum Slowly.” Stop now, Google it and enjoy. One of his most recent books, Lessons from Lucy, not only features that Dave Barry wit and humor I love, but also includes touching stories and life lessons he's learned from his dog, Lucy. It's an easy read, a touching read, and contains such simple lessons we all need to be reminded of. Do yourself a favor and grab a copy today. DaveBarry.com
Crumbl Cookies
Crumbl Cookies recently opened two locations in the metro, and I took it upon myself to try it out so I could report to you, dear reader, on how they stack up. I am here to tell you they are good. I mean really, really good! Warm and delicious-o! Their rotating menu features six flavors each week. I ordered on the app, set a pickup time, pulled up and texted and, in no time, cookie goodness was delivered right to my car. They are a generous size, so easy to share. CrumblCookies.com
Hair Dryer
My dad used to say that when he won the lottery, he was going to hire a driver. I always say that when I win, I’m hiring someone to style my hair each day. It’s just not my strongest skill, but I love how it looks when styled by a pro. A friend mentioned an all-in-one brush/hair dryer combo she uses, so I researched (and by researched, I mean I read Amazon reviews) and saw it was positively rated, so I ordered one. While it’s not the answer to all my hair styling dilemmas, it does do a great job of drying and straightening at the same time! Available at local retailers. Target.com
To-Go Containers
On most Sundays, the girls and I prep lunches for the upcoming week. We’ll choose a recipe or rotate through a list of favorites. Often, the meal we make has several parts, and we need something for the extras—the shredded cheese, pico de gallo, tzatziki—and that’s where these little gems come in so handy! We can neatly pack the sides and then place everything together in a reusable container! In addition, these babies are perfect for craft items. Tip: The best deal I’ve found is on Amazon, 200 for $11.99. Amazon.com
