5 Things We Love Right Now
I’m strictly a hot coffee gal, but the rest of my family enjoys both the hot and cold varieties. I was introduced to a cold/sweet foam topping by my younger who often orders that atop her iced beverage. She enjoys making coffee treats at home, so I was thrilled when I saw that Reddi-wip had sweet foam in a can! Now the fancy coffee shop topping can be added to any at-home concoction. It is sweet, as the name implies, but a fun addition to your morning drink! Available at local retailers.
Nail Buff
Years ago, I was suckered into one of those mall kiosks to buy a nail kit. I’m not sure why—it was a weak moment. Anyway, I bought the entire kit, but what I loved most from it was the block used to buff out my nails. I had worn it down and needed a new one and, after a short search, found the Tweezerman Neon Hot 4-in-1 File, Smooth & Shine Block. It is perfect! And the best part is that it comes with replacement pads, so it’s sure to last a long time! Amazon.com
YouTube Show
For the most part, I watch TV the old-fashioned way. I flip through the channels and usually find something to watch. My girls are much savvier than I am and stream the majority of what they watch. My older told me about the series Open Door on the Architectural Digest YouTube channel, and it’s a fun, breezy and short watch that looks inside celebrity homes—with the celebrity homeowners giving the tours themselves. For something fun to watch, check it out! YouTube.com
Anxious People
I’ve written in this space about Fredrick Bachman’s debut novel, A Man Called Ove. If you haven’t read it, I highly recommend you do. Once you finish, pick up his most recent, Anxious People. It starts out a bit dreary and depressing, but by the end you’ll be eager to reread it in to discover everything you missed the first time. I’m currently reading another of Bachman’s titles, My Grandmother Said to Tell You She’s Sorry. I’ll report back after I finish!
I was out of my usual facewash and, in a pinch, grabbed some from my girls’ bathroom. It worked as well as my more expensive wash, didn’t aggravate my sensitive skin and is a fraction of the cost! I’ve become a convert and now buy my own Simple facewash. Now the moisturizer didn’t nourish my more-mature-than-a-teen’s skin as well as I like, so I’ve stuck with my tried-and-true, but the facewash is a winner! If you’re looking for a good wash at a reasonable price, give Simple a try! Available at local retailers.
