If I had to list two things I can’t live without, it would be music and candles.
Ok, that might be a bit of an exaggeration. Obviously there are a few things that would come first. Oh you know, like air, and food, and water. Jake is pretty high up there, too. But for the sake of this post, we’ll just stick with music and candles. I say music because, let’s be honest, who doesn’t like to think of their life as long and drawn out movie? And the music we listen to is like the soundtrack of our lives. (Oh, that’s just me?) ANYWAYS. Basically, I’m not a huge fan of complete silence and music is the perfect inspiration sometimes.
And candles because I love beautiful scents filling up the house. There’s nothing like coming home to the smell of Clean Cotton on a summer afternoon. Or Lavender Vanilla during a spring shower. Or Pomegranate Cider on a crisp fall day. Or Red Apple Wreath on a blustery winter evening. (Clearly I have this down to a science.) But while I was in Minnesota last week, my lovely sister-in-law introduced me to a new way type of fragrance: Wall Flowers from Bath and Body Works. This is the first week I’m trying them out, but so far I am loving it. They could become my new go-to house smellers. (Totally just made that up.) Now the only dilemma is choosing what scents to go with each season… Which leads us to this month’s Fun Facts!
1. Wall Flowers are a thing of beauty. For your nose, that is.
2. As an extensive list maker, I’m not sure what I find more convenient… Actual sticky notes, or the sticky notes widget on my Mac.
3. Gluten-free italian food lovers rejoice! In case you didn’t know, Biaggi’s has an extensive gluten free menu with delicious pastas and pizzas. They even bring out gluten free bread as an appetizer. Winning. (This may be old news to some of you, but I just recently found out and I am quite excited about it.)
4. Moving is an excellent way to make your house clutter free and downsize on pack-rat issues.
5. Since when did Samoas (greatest cookie ever) become Caramel deLights? (Talk about a cheesy name.) They will forever be Samoas in my mind.
6. A perfect example of Murphy’s Law: there always seems to be plenty of things you’d like to buy when you’re not actually shopping, but when you’re on the hunt for something, it’s almost impossible to find.
7. If you have an electric toothbrush, forgetting your charger on a trip puts a real damper on the whole brushing your teeth thing.
8. Bandanas are a great accent to any dog.
Or maybe I just missed my dogs a lot and I think they look adorable with bandanas on. One of the two.
(Ok, so Frisky doesn’t currently have a bandana on, but he’s still pretty cute.)
Happy Weekend!!
