A Few of My Favorite Things

I'm back again with my stolen borrowed idea from one of the blogs I read . . . This is a list of some of my favorite things -- and I'll give a quick explanation why. I hope my pictures don't disappear like they did last time. Drumroll please . . . .

Ocean Potion Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Anti-Aging Sunblock - Love, love, love this sunblock with Parsol 1789 and Solaplex photo-stable UV filter. Although we need sunblock all the time, this is the time of year we think about it. I try to be especially conscientious about putting it on my arms even if I'm just driving around. Over the past few years I've noticed I've got a farmer's tan! The reason I love this particular one (not because it is anti-aging. Isn't that an oxymoron - all sunblock can claim to be anti-aging) is because it feeds my habit . . . I have to admit, I used to be a drug addict. My drug of choice was Bayer Baby Aspirin. This smells just like it! The sweet smell of oranges keeps me reapplying probably more than is called for.

Bayer Chewable Baby Aspirin - The packaging looks different from when I was a kid but this is some seriously good stuff. For headaches, I'm not so sure but definitely yummy in my tummy. I used to pop this like candy when I was a teenager and the smell of Ocean Potion brings all that right back!

Ocean Potion SPF 45 Clear Zinc Oxide - Remember the white noses on lifeguards? What a funny looking lot but you know their noses didn't get burned. This is the same stuff but goes on clear and not seemingly as thick. I feel good putting this on the boys' faces at the ballpark, beach, etc.

La Croix Sparkling Water - Another love that is always in the refrigerator. I thought I only liked the lime-flavored but a friend introduced me to the lemon flavor. Mmmm, good. I've tried them all except the orange -- lemon and lime are the best. 

Rimmel Exaggerate Waterproof Eye Definer - I am so not good at eye makeup. I can do a smoky eye only because it's messy and there is no precision involved. This eye liner makes it easy to line my lids - goes on smoothly and easy to clean up any mistakes.

Nailtiques Nail Protein - Those who know me know that I've bitten my nails for years, since I was about three! Somehow, somewhere, I got the strength to stop about ten years ago. To get my nails going, I started using this and they grew SO fast. Last year I stress-bit all my nails off again and am finally regaining that elusive strength to stop. Nailtiques is the bomb!

Zappos.com - I'm just so impressed at how fast this service is. I ordered the boys shoes Monday night and they were at my doorstep on Tuesday. How do they do that?!

With Easter just a few days away, I have to share this one too . . .

Brach's Pastel Candy Corn - Another admission, I'm a candyaholic. I could eat a whole bag of candy corn. My favorite candy corn is the Indian corn at Halloween. But in the meantime, this stuff is SATISFACTION!
