Good Morning!!

First, I didn’t do a full playlist post this week because I decided to take a little break on the music before diving into the 2000s. I did change the side weekly playlist widget to all Post Malone though, because I love him and think that he and all of his songs are great! One of his latest releases is from the most recent Spiderman movie and like all the rest of his songs, it is soooo catchy! It’s called “Sunflower” and it’s the first song on my weekly playlist. Take a listen if you haven’t heard it before!

So moving on – today I wanted to blog about one of my most recent purchases! They are the limited edition Dunkin’ sneakers from Saucony and I am loving them!!

Good Morning & Happy Friday! Wishing I was at the beach getting a real tan…

 

But since I’m not, today I wanted to discuss one of my absolute favorite things to do: getting a spray tan! You know that scene in Legally Blonde where Elle is looking for something to cheer her up after she finds out that Warner has an awful fiancée and they cut to her heading to a nail salon? I’m like that, except with tanning salons! Nothing like freshly tanned skin to brighten my mood! I was definitely tanorexic by the end of high school and for all of college I had unlimited tanning packages. But for the past 5 years or so, I’ve ditched tanning beds altogether and solely go spray tanning. If you have ever been an active tanning bed user, then you would most likely agree with me that it is kind of therapeutic. I do miss the days of it being freezing cold outside and relaxing in a nice, warm tanning bed, but those days for me are over. And honestly, going spray tanning is also therapeutic because it totally changes your mindset once you see your tan. Being tan just makes people feel happy!  I just got sprayed last week for the first time in 2019 and I always feel so great after! I go spray tanning a few times in the winter and I’ll go if I have a wedding or event that I want to be tan for. Being tan just makes me feel better and I know a lot of others feel the same way, but are maybe apprehensive about going spray tanning. Spray tanning is nothing to be afraid of, but it does require a little bit of planning. So today I am sharing my top tips for getting the best tan possible!

 

  1. Booking the Appointment

Call the salon and book an appointment to get sprayed in the evening around 5 – 6pm. This is the optimal time to go because you DO NOT want to shower for at least 12 hours after in order to let the tan set. So the best thing to do is go at night, then relax at home, sleep, and shower in the morning.

 

  1. Exfoliate Before the Tan

Before you go to the salon, make sure that you shower! It’s super important to have fully exfoliated and shaved before you get sprayed so that way the tan adheres to your body. You also DO NOT want to put on any lotions after this shower. Simply towel off and get dressed.

 

  1. What to Wear

When you get dressed after taking the shower (where you fully exfoliated and shaved), you want to wear your junkiest clothes possible. Wear something that you won’t care if you get some spray tan on it, because you most likely will. I wear a black pair of sweatpants from Old Navy that are definitely over 10 years old with some ratty t-shirt and sweatshirt over it.

 

  1. The Plan After the Tan

You want to make sure that your evening is cleared for just coming straight home after the salon and lounging around on the sofa for the night. This is definitely NOT the time to make a pit stop at the grocery store after the salon. You will most likely bear a slight resemblance to an oompa loompa and this is will inevitably be the one time that you stopped for milk and ran into some old ex flame that you DO NOT want to see unless you look your best!!

 

  1. The Actual Tan!

I use the Versa Spa to get spray tanned which is an automatic spray tan in a small booth that you stand in. They offer a few different colors of the spray in order to match your skin tone that you pick with a worker once you arrive at the salon. ( I always go for the darkest one, I went one shade lighter the first time I ever went and I could barely see a tan.) You walk into a room, strip down, put on a hair net, stand in the stall and push a blinking light to start the process. You definitely can’t stop the spray once it has been started, so it is really important to memorize all of the positions that you need to do in order to get an even tan! There is usually a picture of all the poses on a wall, but if you are unsure then ask a worker to review them with you before you start. You definitely don’t want to mess this part up! The whole spray process probably takes all of 3-4 minutes, which is awesome! But since it goes quick you need to make sure you get all of the positions correct. Once the tan is finished, use a hair dryer (most salons provide this) to blow dry your body. The tan is slightly tacky for a few minutes after you exit the booth, so it’s really helpful that they offer the blow dryer to be sure that the tan is fully set before getting dressed.

 

  1. After the Tan

I throw back on my junky clothes and immediately head home. For the rest of the night I try to avoid getting any water on my body in order to keep my tan intact and go to sleep. In the morning it’s fine to shower or if you can wait until later in the day, I would. I think the recommended time to wait is 12 hours, but if I can push it off a little longer, then I do. You also want to keep shower time minimal so that your tan doesn’t all wash off! Then be sure to fully lotion your body to ensure optimal tan results! I use my Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer and some Aveeno as well. For legs and arms if I am going to a wedding or just want to be glowing then I also apply Lorac Tantalizer,  which is a really great shimmery self tanner that is pretty dark and dries quickly. I wait maybe 15-20 minutes after applying before getting dressed.

 

Final Thoughts!

Spray tans usually last me about 5-7 days. They slowly fade and once you start noticing a discoloration on your skin, you can just wash the rest of it off with a loofah.

The most important tip that I have is to remember that if you absolutely hate the spray tan, then you can immediately go home and shower it all off. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard customers ask the staff at my local tanning salon 20 questions about the spray tan process and they all sound so worried! It’s just a colored spray and it’s NOT permanent! It easily washes off if you don’t like it, so there is really nothing to worry out about!

I think spray tans are such a great way to boost your mood during the winter. Many people experience Seasonal Affective Disorder and getting a tan is a great way to help combat that. It’s also just about the only way that I can wear white in the winter! Normally, my bronzer somehow gets all over anything cream-colored, so I save the white for when I’m sprayed!

 

That’s all for my tips! I hope you found them helpful. Have you gone spray tanning before? Let me know in the comments!

Hello!

Hope everyone is enjoying 2019 so far! Mine had been pretty status quo but this morning was a little rough. First, a pot holder managed to catch on fire on my stove setting off all my smoke alarms and throwing my daughter into a tizzy over how loud it was. “It’s ok baby, momma just nearly set the whole house on fire! NBD!” lol Then we went to Walgreens for what was to be a quick 5 minute stop (probably a little too close to nap time) and she had a full on meltdown because I forgot her goldfish. She starts screaming “FISH-SHES” and I mean she really wanted to do a full on sprawl on the floor kicking and screaming but I managed to wrestle her into my arms, carry her screaming, find the goldfish in the store’s snack aisle, and luckily she stopped screaming once she could hold the bag, but omg – note to self: NEVER forget the goldfish. lol

So anyway that was my day thus far! Moving on – Today I am posting about some of favorite things that I have been enjoying lately!

 

  1. Trey Kennedy

I first discovered Trey through Facebook. A video that he posted about “Basic Bros” came up on my news feed because a “facebook friend” had commented on it. I was laying in bed half asleep still scrolling on my phone and decided to stall a little more before actually getting up, so I played the video. And wowwwww, I was dying with laughter!! He really hit the nail on the head with this video making fun of white guys in their 20s. I’ve been out of college for 10 years but I still seriously related to practically every single thing that he said and was giggling away. Once I finished watching that one, I watched several others and quickly became a fan of his. He’s super funny, easy on the eyes ♥, and I LOVE that he is so wholesome! He is Christian and makes it a point to not swear in his videos or be disgusting and honestly, it is SO refreshing to watch!! It seems like no one is like that anymore and that the F word is basically every day lingo for kids so I love seeing someone have tons of fans and not be this way. He has a bunch of videos making fun of “basic” girls and guys, white people, and all the ones of him dancing to make chores fun are hilarious. He’s great and if you want to laugh then search for him on Facebook or YouTube and watch!

Ok, I could really go for a Java Chip Frappachino right now! Does Starbucks still offer them?! That was my favorite drink, like, 10 years ago!

Anyway, today I’m talking about one of my most favorite things…coffee & coffee related items! I’ve always loved coffee flavored foods like, ice cream or candy, and of course milk! Once I got to college I don’t know why, but I REALLY wanted to like iced coffee. So I would go and order it “extra, extra” and honestly it still tasted AWFUL. I don’t know why I was making myself drink this! Anyway, this was back before Dunkin’ offered any real delicious flavors like caramel swirl. French vanilla was really the only good flavor and it wasn’t even that good. So basically long story, short – years later I finally grew into really enjoying coffee and now that I’m old as dirt I HAVE to drink it every single morning within two hours of waking or I get a headache. Figures!

I know I’m not alone in my love for coffee, so since Christmas is only days away today I am sharing 12 gift ideas that any coffee lover would enjoy!

Hi All!!

I hope everyone is having a splendid weekend!

Today I decided to post about Christmas movies!! In general, I don’t love movies because I feel like it’s kind of a waste of two hours and I’d rather just watch TV, BUT I make an exception for Christmas movies. There are just SO many good ones out there and it’s really tradition to watch the same ones year after year that you watched as a kid. So today I am sharing the holiday flicks that I’ve seen 8,000,000 times and will continue to watch year after year! They are in random order aside from my favorite which I put first!

  1. A Christmas Story

This is definitely my all time favorite Christmas movie. I love how to plays on TNT/TBS for 24 hours on Christmas Day every year. I find that day sooo busy but I can always catch most of this movie since it is always on! Last year I was up so late on Christmas Eve cooking and baking that I caught it before I went to bed at 2am. Needless to say, I was pretty exhausted on Christmas Day, but it’s so fun that I was basically running on adrenaline!

I love this movie so much for so many reasons. First, I love to look at how life was decades ago. This movie takes place in the 1940s and I love everything old-fashioned about it from the clothes to the home decor! I also think Ralphie is just about the cutest little kid I’ve ever seen. Kids with glasses are just the cutest!! And Ralphie with his big blue eyes and darling little personality is just so lovable! I can’t get enough and I never tire of this movie no matter how many times I’ve seen it.

  1. Home Alone – The Original

Dreams! I love how he’s wearing this enormous bib to eat a gigantic sundae in a leather chair.

I know a lot of people my age who actually like Home Alone 2 better than the Home Alone 1 and I respectfully have to disagree. Partially because I’ve only seen Home Alone 2 probably twice in my entire life and I’ve seen the original at least 850 times, if not more! I don’t know – all I really recall from Home Alone 2 is the scene of Kevin in the shower using that Talkboy toy that EVERY kid wanted and an old homeless lady with a lot of pigeons around her. Hahaha I have to say, it just didn’t make for a compelling storyline in my book! The original is just SO CLASSIC – how could anything top that?? He got lost AGAIN?! OK, no. Too farfetched. Let’s just stick with #1 leave it at that!

  1. Christmas With The Kranks

When this movie first came out, I totally ignored it and thought it looked dumb. Then I really got into it about 8-9 years ago when it started playing on TV a lot. I would just have it on as background noise while wrapping gifts and I ended up getting sucked into it one day and watched the whole thing and I thought it was pretty good and cute! I continually watch it year after year and I think it’s pretty funny – Tim Allen & Jamie Lee Curtis are great in it! I especially love the scene where they go tanning in the mall and the priest catches them!

  1. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation

The original National Lampoon’s Vacation movie where they go to Wally World is probably one of my all time favorite movies. I just think it is SO FUNNY and I love the 80’s, so I can’t get enough of the movie fashions and decor. So naturally, I would love Christmas Vacation! Chevy Chase is just so good – I really feel like I relate to him in the scene where he goes up to the attic and gets caught up looking through old memorabilia and gets trapped up there! I’m such a hoarder – I keep everything old in the attic and I’m always up there searching through it all! Plus, I love all the old crazy relatives, like Cousin Eddie and the dog named Snots! lol I love the scene where one of them has wrapped a cat – bahhaaha it’s so good!

  1. The Family Stone

I feel like whenever I tell people that I love this movie, I get a lot of mixed feelings back. A lot of people just don’t seem to really like it – I think maybe because the ending is a little cliché? But I think the all star cast in this movie is AWESOME and sometimes cliché endings are ok! Also, I cannot watch it without crying at the end no matter how many times I’ve seen it!

  1. Emmett Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas

It was a tradition in my house growing up to watch this movie together as a family before every Christmas. My mom basically ingrained in me a love for anything muppet related. This movie is by Jim Henson and it’s a spin on the classic Gift of the Magi story. It’s super cute and fun for all ages!

  1. It’s a Very Muppet Christmas Movie

As I just stated above: I love muppets, especially Miss Piggy and I love most of their movies! There are quite a few Muppet Christmas movies, but this one is from not that long ago (2002) – ok wait, 16 years doesn’t seem that long ago to me. #old! This movie has a cute, heartwarming storyline and I love the mix of celebrities in it!

  1. Holiday in Handcuffs

OK – any movie with Clarissa and AC Slater has GOT to be good and this one is awesome! It’s always on Freeform as part of their 25 days of Christmas and I can always find it for free On Demand. This movie is the ultimate far-fetched storyline! Clarissa kidnaps AC because her boyfriend dumps her and she NEEDS to bring home a boyfriend for Christmas. It’s ridiculous and over the top and there is THE BEST cheesy ice skating scene where Clarissa is this amazing skater doing all these jumps and spins somewhere out on a random iced over pond out in the country. This movie is the ultimate in cheesy Christmas movies aka the BEST and if you grew up watching these two on their respective sitcoms, then you need to catch this movie!

 

That’s it! These are the movies that I always try to watch year after year, but I do also like those sappy Hallmark ones once in a while! What is your favorite Christmas movie? Let me know in the comments! I’m always up for a new Christmas movie to watch!

Hi All!

I’m starting the week off with a Women’s Gift Guide! I’ve designed this guide to be chock full of gifts for all the women in your life that are difficult to buy for: mothers, mother-in-laws, sisters, aunts, etc.! I think there is something for women of all ages on this list and I’ve split it up into tiers based on dollar budget like I did for the Men’s Gift Guide. Christmas is only a little more than 2 weeks away, so it’s really time to buckle down on your shopping!

Hello All!

I hope everyone had a most enjoyable Thanksgiving with their loved ones! It’s Black Friday which means tons of shopping and sales! In preparation for all the shopping and sales, I am going to feature a couple of gift guides on my blog and today’s post is a Men’s Gift Guide!

Let me first start by saying how much I LOVE presents. My love language is definitely gifts and because of this, I typically put a lot of thought into most people’s presents. If I care about you, then I’ve definitely thought what to purchase for you! With that being said, I put a lot of thought into this gift guide so let me know what you think in the comments!

I’ve chosen today to start with a men’s gift guide because I think they can be super tricky to buy for. Whether it’s your dad, husband, uncle, male coworker, boyfriend, etc., it can be tough. And in the case of it being your significant other it is not necessarily that you can’t figure out what to buy, but rather how much to spend. Depending on how long you have been dating, this can be really hard. There aren’t too many worse dating situations than an awkward gift exchange where you spent $250 on your boyfriend, only to receive a $30 gift in return. Ouch. This is why it’s very important to drop subtle hints (or sometimes not so subtle hints!) well before the holidays to make sure you are both on the same page with how much to spend. So with this in mind, I’ve created a three tiered gift guide based on gift budget.

First let’s begin with Gifts under $50. The beginner step for men’s gifts. Maybe you’ve only been dating a couple of months or you got a random male coworker in a gift swap at work, or you got your uncle in the family secret santa. Whatever the case may be, if you don’t want to spend too much money then I’ve got some ideas for you!

Happy October!

I love the change into cooler seasons because I loooove fall fashion and wearing sweaters, scarves, and jackets. Today I’m sharing some of my most recent Fall finds, wants, and things I just love about this time of the year! So let’s get started!

1. Graphic Tee $29.90

Is there anything better than eating warm fluffy waffles drenched in decadent maple syrup while lounging around watching TV on a Saturday morning?! I think not.

2. Plaid Snuggie $14.99

I have this snuggie in my cart to purchase from Bed, Bath, & Beyond. I always have a 20% coupon on hand since they mail them out so often and that brings this handy blanket down to $12! Such a steal. Remember when Snuggies first came out back in 2009 or 2010?! I HAD TO HAVE the leopard one. My mom got it for me for Christmas and I still sleep with it every night. (#noshame) It has lasted through SOOOOO many washes and has been so good to me, but I think it’s time for an update and this plaid one is perfect for moving into cooler temps and watching Hallmark movies and drinking hot cocoa!

3. It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown $13.69

It’s not Halloween unless I’ve watched this! Who doesn’t love Snoopy & Charlie Brown?!

4. Patagonia Retro X Vest $149.00

This link features the current color offerings from Patagonia in this vest. I’m actually really annoyed that Patagonia stopped making this vest in black. I mean, shouldn’t that be a staple color offered season after season?!!??!?! I digress. In any event, it looks like the perfect vest for apple picking and doing other corny seasonal activities!

5. Brach’s Autumn Mix $2.79

Every fall I fill a big pumpkin shaped candy dish with this autumn mix. I love candy corn and especially the little mallocreme pumpkins!!! I know it’s not everyone’s favorite, but I find them so delicious!

6. Morning Pumpkin Mug $7.99

I picked up a mug similar to this one at Hobby Lobby that I posted on my Instagram. The one linked is from Party City and is at such great price point. I like to always use a mug that goes along with the current season. This one made me giggle, because I love to use pet names, especially “pumpkin”.

7. Kiehl’s Hand Salve $16.00

If you suffer from chronic dry hands in the Fall and Winter then you need this hand cream. Kiehl’s is well known for making quality all natural products and I’ve been using this hand lotion for years. It works so well that I only apply it once a day (before I go to bed) and my hands never feel dry. It really works wonders and the second I run out and go a day or two without applying it, I immediately notice how dry my hands feel and reorder it. I’ve ordered this tons of times over the years and it’s worth every penny!

8. Frye Harness 12R Boots $328.00

These boots just look like Fall perfection. I have two pairs of Frye boots, but I could certainly use another!

9. Autumn Hand Soaps 5/$23.00 or $6.50 each

So I try to stay away from going into Bath & Body Works because I always end up leaving the store with so much stuff that I don’t need. However, I do really love the seasonal soaps because they brighten up my bathroom and the scents just make me happy! Also, how cute is this fox antibacterial holder?! Think I need this.

10. Burberry Scarf $290.00

Some people probably think $290 is way too much for a scarf. However, in addition to this scarf costing much less than the classic Burberry cashmere plaid scarf which retails about $430, I would like to invoke the cost per wear method into the equation. This is my favorite method to revert back to when arguing over the price of an item. If you think that you will keep this scarf forever (and you should) then really you will probably wear it at least a hundred times in your life (if not more), thus making the cost per wear a couple bucks which is practically nothing! 😉 And Voilà, the scarf has turned into an investment piece that you should own!

 

Let me know if you like my picks and if you love Fall as much as I do! Hope everyone is enjoying the Fall foliage and sports season!!

Don’t forget to get your $1.08 medium hot or iced coffee at Dunkin’ on 10/8!

Hi All!

It seems that Fall is just around the corner with all the back to school sales in full effect! I always take this time to freshen up my own desk with some new office supplies as I am a firm believer in using pretty, yet practical, office supplies and accessories in the workplace. Quite frankly, I think it’s a travesty that most employers provide only the bare minimum office supplies. Since the bare minimum doesn’t work for me, I often buy my own supplies to use!

With that being said, I have rounded up some of my favorite desk and office supplies that help me get through the workday. Since work pretty much sucks, you might as well get some motivation to go in by having an eye-catching desk filled with products that you want to use! To me, if I have to show up for work then at least I can look forward to trying out my new gold stapler or my sparkly pencil. I apply the same principal as “When you look good, you feel good.” If I have a good looking office space and supplies to use, then I feel better about working 🙂 Additionally, having a good looking desk at work gets you a lot comments from coworkers – both men and women, and the young and old – they all love to comment on it and honestly, I love a good work chat!

And now let’s get to my favorite items that will help to make your day so much better!

1. As I get older, the more I find I actually need a planner to keep track of everything. I’m not normally a huge Lilly Pulitzer fan when it comes to clothing as I think some of her prints are a bit loud. But, in this planner I find it adorable!

2. This gold desk organizer will help keep everything at your finger tips.

3. One of my favorite places to shop for random home and office accessories is Forever 21. I know it seems unexpected, but I often find tons of cute stuff at really low prices! Quality is surprisingly good too! This gold basket is another F21 find and at less than $6, a steal of a deal.

4. These darling pom pom magnets (being advertised as locker magnets lol) brighten up any magnetic surface, such as a filing cabinet or white board.

5. A chic metallic pencil case for keeping all your precious writing instruments safe.

6. This super cute acrylic pencil cup is v. necessary.

7. Ok, I’m super picky about pens and once I find some that I like, I am loyal for life. BIC Cristal Pens are not expensive – you get a whole pack of multi colored pens for under $4. I have always liked how these pens write and this year they upped their game by creating them in white! Snaps to BIC because I agree 100% that this IS a fun and trendy new design! A++++

8. I own this stapler and I can attest that every coworker wants to test it out and use it!

9. I had been eyeing these pencil pouches for at least two years from Kate Spade. I loved that it came with two pencils, a sharpener, eraser, and a mini ruler – but, I really just did not want to spend $30 on it. However, a few weeks ago I stumbled across a leopard print one at HomeGoods for half the price! I nearly squealed with delight in the store! So you may want to check your local HomeGoods for these, but in the mean time, Nordstrom has this fun, floral one in stock.

10. Another F21 fun find, this letter board is the perfect way to cheer up every grouchy coworker’s mood with quirky phrases and quotes.

11. Rifle Paper makes some of the cutest whimsical art prints. This 17 month planner from Rifle Paper will help to keep you organized day and night and features a sticker page!

12. For some people, I think the planners I featured can be seen as a bit cumbersome and they would prefer something smaller. This small desktop planner is perfect for keeping track of tasks week by week.

13. Ban.do makes some of the cutest office supplies around. These pencils are no exception and would make writing out anything way more fun.

14. Target offers this smaller style planner featuring a chic, marble cover.

15. This stylish planner prompted notepad will surely make to-do lists a snap.

That’s all for now although I could discuss office supply favorites for hours! Let me know what your favorites are and if you love office supplies as much as I do !

Hey Y’all! I am already starting to see signs of Fall in most stores, but since it is still early to mid August, I decided to share some of my favorite things that I’ve been loving over this summer.

1. First up, this Eos Shaving Cream was a new purchase for me this summer. I totally fell for this classic marketing gimmick of an eye catching hot pink bottle on the store shelf. It just looked so bright and happy and I had to buy it. I thought it would be your typical shave gel but oh no – it’s much better. First, it has a pump dispenser which I find to be easier and cleaner to use than the classic push down release. Second, it’s not even shave gel but shaving cream which I didn’t even realize because I clearly didn’t read the label – just saw hot pink, grabbed it, and threw it in my carriage. But seriously, I think the consistency of the cream makes for a better shave with a smoother finish. And third, this pomegranate and raspberry scent smells amazingly good! This product is a win-win all around.

2. After showering, I rarely have time to be slathering on lotion all over myself. Plus, when it’s hot and humid out, lotion just feels sticky and slimy. Which is why I switched to Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer which you apply in the shower after the water is off, but before you towel off. I actually used this a little bit last summer because I had gotten a free sample, but this summer I have used it religiously and have gone through a few bottles. It’s perfect because it adds a little bit of color to your skin and moisturizes at the same time. I basically put it on, wait approximately 1 minute, then towel dry and get dressed and I have had no issues with it getting on any of my clothes.

3. Most days I just use the wet skin moisturizer and run out the door, but on those days that I’m going to work or have extra time and want more color on my legs, I always use Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs!  I’ve been using this product for years and it continues to be one of my absolute favorite self tanners. You simply spray on and really rub in – you can see the color changing right in front of you so it is easy to correct and add more if needed. It dries really quickly – I wait a couple of minutes before dressing but the bottle says to just wait 1 minute. It comes in several shades, I use the darkest one they offer (deep glow) because I have yet to find a self tanner that I think is too dark! The only downside to this product is that if you get wet, it easily comes off. Most self tanners do, but this one comes off more easily than others. A professional spray tan would definitely last longer which I normally do for special occasions, but this leg spray is much cheaper and works extremely well in most situations.

4. Alright, now that I’ve fully covered my leg care favorites let’s move on to one of my all time favorite drinks….Blue Gatorade. There is seriously not much more that I love in the summer than a half frozen/slushy Gatorade. I like most flavors but Cool Blue is my absolute favorite! There is nothing like laying outside in the hot sun with a refreshing slushy Gatorade to cool you down 😉

5. Ok, so I think I am late to the Post Malone game (#ImOld).  BUT I cannot get enough of his music this summer. SO GOOD. And anyone who mentions both Tony Danza AND Michael Scott in their songs is an artist that I can fully support. Whoever comes up with the beats to these songs should be given a Grammy because they are literally so catchy I can never get them out of my head! My favorites this summer have been “Candy Paint”, “Psycho” & “Ball for Me”.

6. I am a huge fan of McDonald’s and that includes the McCafe line of drinks. This summer they rolled out Cold Brew Frozen Coffee so being both a lover of McDonald’s and new products, I just had to try it. And WOW, it did not disappoint! It’s tastes like a strong coffee milkshake and I can’t get enough of it. It’s been one hot summer and I found a reason nearly every day to stop and get one of these to cool off with. Plus, the McDonald’s app is chock full of good coupons and deals. I have tried Dunkin’ Donuts frozen coffee before and I think the McDonald’s version tastes better and is more wallet friendly.

7. Ok, anyone who knows me fairly well knows that I love reality TV and that my all time favorite reality show is Big Brother. It airs every summer and I always look forward to a new season of it. This current 20th season has be really good so far! There have been some years where it isn’t that great, but as a loyal fan I continue to watch. This season they have added some new twists and it has been really entertaining from the get-go. If you don’t watch, I highly encourage you to because it really features everything you could want in a show; there is strategy, fighting, suspense, drama, competitions, etc. It really is good TV so feel free to tune in, give it a chance, and then chat with me about it!

That’s all for my top summer faves. Hope everyone is enjoying the sun and let me know what you are loving this summer 🙂
