Pink lemonade as well as chocolate-chip cookies

Pink lemonade as well as chocolate-chip cookies! Hello, my new preferred snack.

El Hub believes I’m a bit nuts to like this combo as much as I do since for him, it’s all about milk as well as cookies (for dunking), however the pink lemonade combo is completely working for me.

ANNONS

Not to dunk though. I don’t dunk the cookies in the lemonade. I just like to have them together. I like the contrasting taste of the tart lemonade (ha! I practically composed “Tarte lemonade”) with the sweetness of the cookies.

åh! — as well as lemonade has to be chilly as well as pink. Don’t ask me why; it just does.

I truly like Trader Joe’s Low-Calorie Pink Lemonade Made With organic Lemon Juice… As usual, TJ’s gets it right.

Kerastase Spray Fluidissime…for unruly bangs!

So I’ve had this bottle of Kerastase Spray Fluidissime ($42 for a 5.1 fl-oz. bottle) for a while, as well as it’s essentially an anti-frizz, thermal-protecting, shine-boosting spray that you spray on wet hair, as well as then either air or strike dry.

I mainly just utilized it on long sections of my hair from about mid-length down to the ends, where it does a excellent job, however for reasons unknown, it never occurred to me to try it on my bangs…

Until the other day.

Wow, it works great! It tames my mischievous, frizzy side-swept bangs, which have gotten long as well as rebellious lately since I’m method overdue for a trim.

This spray completely tames their inner beast. I just spray a few spritzes on my bangs while they’re wet, then dry with a clean as well as a hair dryer.

It makes my hair smooth, silky as well as well-behaved, as well as it holds the side-swept shape perfectly.

I liked this spray before…BUT now I LURVE IT.

This “K” mug from HomeGoods

First things first, I requirement to stop going to HomeGoods…

Because each time I walk in there, I walk out with one more mug, as well as I am the LAST person in the world who needs one more mug.

Let me put it this way: there are only two unfortunate glasses in my kitchen area cupboard (because El Hub, who works part time as a bull in a china shop, broke the rest) as well as about 20 mugs.

This one is my new favorite. I got it to replace the Anthropologie mug I utilized to have that had the letter “K” on it because, surprise! — El Hub broke it.

This one is by signature Housewares, as well as it was just $4. It’s huge as well as deep, as well as I like that it doesn’t get molten hot when I warm something up in the microwave.

I will delight in the time we have together up until El Hub breaks it…which ought to occur a long time within the next few weeks.

Sephora neat Detangling Comb

This $8 hot pink detangling comb has seen a great deal of utilize because the Sephora haul I did a while back.

I like this dang thing. I utilize it in the shower at night to work conditioner with my hair, as well as then utilize it once again the next morning to detangle. It gets out all the knots without messing up my waves, as well as it feels effing amazing on my scalp. It doesn’t feel pokey at all. just really, truly good.

The “Sephora” label on it is already starting to fade, however it sure as heck doesn’t hurt the comb. This is the very best $8 I’ve spent there in a while.

Live like Pop Truffle Salt Popcorn

I may or may not have eaten half of this bag of online like Pop Truffle Salt Popcorn ($4.25) because I opened it a few days ago.

HOPPSAN! I just tripped as well as they all fell into my mouth…

They aren’t very salty, oily, buttery or flavored, however there is a hint of truffle (I assumption that’s what it is). Anyway, they’re just good, as well as only 35 calories per cup!

Yup, they were one more HomeGoods find.

1. Inflatable pools for adults

Cheers to the brilliant who dreamed up these adult-sized “kiddie pools,” although I don’t rather comprehend the point of sharing a small pool with someone. three people in one inflatable pool? NO say thanks to YOU! That’s just as well numerous limbs in my personal space.

I such as this pool with the banana leaf print, however count on me…I’m not sharing. Each one is $42.99, as well as you can discover them at Thunderdome Target.

2. submit on Amazon Prime Video

Helt briljant! I blazed with the entire season a few weekends ago. It’s set in the near future… 2033…and it’s about a 20-something programmer on the brink of a innovation breakthrough when his life is suddenly cut short.

No issue though since his consciousness is uploaded to the cloud into a digital slice of online “heaven” that people are able to purchase as a service before their demise. Of course, this neatness comes with a price, both monetary as well as otherwise, as well as the online “afterlife” turns out to be far less than ideal.

I laughed, I screamed (“DID THAT truly just HAPPEN?”), I saw the afterlife with a lens I’d never seen before (big surprise! — capitalism chooses to monetize heaven). All I have to state is that I understand myself all as well well, as well as if packing your consciousness into a server ever becomes a option in the near future, I will provide that a difficult pass.

3. My strawberry plant

I’m growing a strawberry plant in the woman Sanctuary, as well as it already has a few eco-friendly berries, which I’m very thrilled ABOUT. It’s so great to see a plant thriving as well as doing its thing. I just hope the community squirrels as well as birds don’t discover it so I can really eat the fruit.

4. Improv ramen with gluten-free noodles from Costco

I’ve been craving all teh carbs lately, particularly ramen noodles, as well as have been making this gluten-free quickie version at home. From begin to finish, it takes about 30 minutes, so it’s a relatively quick meal, as well as the noodles stay great in the cupboard permanently (well, almost). Plus, you can personalize it with whatever you have on hand.

Lemme walk ya with it…

Warm about a tablespoon of olive oil in a deep, heavy pot on medium heat. add a handful of any type of aromatics you like — I utilized garlic, a bit of fresh ginger as well as the white parts of a eco-friendly onion for mine — as well as cook till everything’s wilted as well as fragrant.

Add one box of beef broth as well as a box of poultry broth to the pot. (Then, into each empty box, add a bit water as well as swish it around to get all that great flavoring out, as well as add that to the pot as well.) add two teaspoons of fish sauce as well as two teaspoons of soy sauce, however if you don’t have either of those, I’m believing you can substitute with any type of thin, salty sauce, like coconut aminos.
Bring to a boil, as well as simmer on low up until you’re prepared to add noodles.

Next, cook your ramen noodles according to the directions on the package, as well as set them aside. I utilized Costco’s Lotus Foods organic Millet & brown Rice Ramen, which is gluten totally free as well as vegan, as well as it’s prepared after about four minutes of cooking.

Cook or prep any type of other accouterments you want. Some ideas: eggs, bacon (which I utilized this time since I didn’t have pork belly), shrimp, fish cake, eco-friendly onion slices, corn, peas, dried seaweed… So numerous options.

Ladle your broth into a huge bowl, add your noodles, proteins as well as veggies, as well as delight in best away! ?

5. The concept of a tennis shoe collection

Back in the day when I was semi-fabulous, I lived in high heels. These days, not so much. It’s just so much simpler for me to sprint after Connor as well as Rosie when I’m *not* teetering above the ground in three-inch strappy sandals. Plus, my feet are happier now that I stay with comfy sneakers.

The thing is…I don’t feel like I ought to be doomed to a life of tiring footwear!

Sooooo, I’ve been toying with the concept of collecting Nikes…. They’re always coming out with adorable styles, as well as my feet have been pleased with every pair of Nikes I’ve owned. beyond that, my standard-issue uniform these days is black stretchy pants with a tee, or denim with a tee, as well as both go well with sassy tennis shoes.

Clearly, I’ve already done the math in my head. LOL!

Anyway, my birthday’s next month, so I’m believing about lastly springing for a pair of Air Jordan 1 High Zip Premiums in this quite red wine color.

I’ve been wanting these shoes for a couple years because they came out in black, as well as I’m still pining for them. They’re on sale now, so I may just bite the bullet.

I likewise like the Metcon 5s. The pink, white as well as black is so my style!ANNONS

1. Clinique Chubby Stick shadow Tint for Eyes

I’ve been crabby lately.

I’m sure I’m not the only one, however I’m frustrated, as well as I’ve wept on a lot more than one occasion.

ANNONS

I likewise haven’t truly been absolutely jazzed about using tons o’ makeup, especially over the past few days, however I have felt the desire one or two times, as well as this has been the only eyeshadow I can handle.

No mirror required
The Chubby Sticks are semi-sheer creams you can blend with your fingers (or a brush), as well as they’re valuable gems when it pertains to 10-minute makeup. I have them in a number of shades, however I absolutely wear Portly Plum as well as Ample Amber the most.

2. contemporary Love, on Amazon Prime Video

The greatest drawback to this series is that there’s only one season! I believe it’s so ridiculously well-written, authentic as well as poignant. I can’t even explain… It’s one of the best-written shows I’ve ever seen. The stories are based on the contemporary like column from The new York Times. Each self-contained episode thoughtfully explores lots of kinds as well as aspects of love, from what it indicates to love, as well as to be loved.

Each episode is touching, however absolutely not in a corny as well as predictable rom-com sense, as well as the entire season is a work of art! If you’re a wimp like me as well as can’t currently manage shows with fierce story lines, please provide it a watch. extremely recommended.

3. Banza Pasta

Of all the gluten-free pastas I’ve tried (can’t believe I just typed that), the huge majority of which taste like stinky feet, Banza is among the best. It’s made of chickpeas (very high in protein!), however I can’t truly taste any type of background chickpea “flavor.” The texture’s likewise extremely close to standard glutinous pasta. I’ve served it to people without them understanding it was gluten-free, as well as nobody has even observed before.

I like the spirals, shells as well as linguine the very best since they don’t autumn apart, even a little. I’m not a huge fan of the spaghetti, however, since it breaks apart as well quickly after it’s cooked.

Most of the pasta shapes suggest an 8-10 minute cook time, however I normally do 7 minutes, since anything a lot more than that as well as it’s method as well squishy. (I like my pasta al dente.)

4. The reporter who went online on air without any pants

For real, though, he only did what the rest of us are doing. #teamnopants all day, every day.

5. This technique to measuring out components on the scale

I will do anything to prevent washing YET one more DISH, so this bit technique has me shook. state you want to determine out a tablespoon of peanut butter (16g) for a snack. All you do is pop your jar of peanut butter on the scale, hit “tare” to zero it out, as well as then eliminate nevertheless much peanut butter you want to utilize directly from the jar. The scale will show you exactly how much you used. (See the unfavorable indication in front of number 16?)

Överväldigad!

This saves me from putting a clean plate or bowl on the scale just to determine out ingredients.
