My Favorite Things

Currently, these are a few of my favorite things:

1) Trader's Joe's Pomegranate White Tea and Jasmine Green Tea

2) Browsing through really CRAFTY/creative websites such as:

and
etc (I will be back to add more later on!)

Well, it's completely amazing to find communities filled with creative, fun, artsy individuals (not to mention crafty) and their creation actually inspire me to do things in a more personal/individualized way. I suppose I can put it like this: I'm more appreciative toward things that are handmade and original then mass-produced products now.

3) Christopher's growing and getting smarter each day. The boy starts to speak more and more and he's finally starting to get more comfortable in his own room after spending almost all of his life in the same room with mom (yes, I made the mistake of not putting him in another room after birth!)

4) Christopher's freshly decorated room! Michael did it this past weekend, and he also DEEP-cleaned our condo! I'm so happy for not having to do this task!

5) Kettle's (natural) chips, Salt & Vinegar flavor.

6) Chelsea Handler's new daily show "Chelsea Lately." It's crazy good, CRASS, funny, rude but still quite honest and totally cool/fun to watch! It's on pretty late, so it's good because this lady doesn't hold back. I love the "Female happy Ending" segment she had today on the premiere, and when she 'put a cap' on Steve-O's ass.

7) Dreaming of IKEA (they're opening one soon in town! Sure beats driving up to Seattle).

8) Watching "healthy" cooking shows, like: "Healthy Appetite: Ellie Krieger," or "Healthy Decadence," or "A Lyon in the Kitchen," "Sarah Snow: Fresh."

9) Target. Women's clothing department. CHEAP but quite stylish, I know I know, many will say: quality over quantity. My advice is this, sure, INVEST in quality clothing that's timeless, but if you want to indulge in trend/fad, go ahead head on to Target. I LOVE their GO designer lines, the new one being: Libertine.
In the past, I've been so into Isaac Mizrahi's line for Target.
My second choice for CHEAP trendy clothing is Walmart. Look at their "George" line, I usually just buy them on sale. From original price of $30, I often get them for either $3.50 or $3. Really. For those who are green-conscious, believe it or not, Walmart has been pushing green campaign, and they actually have AFFORDABLE (aka cheap) GREEN/environmentally friendly clothing. Crazy good!

Eh, that's it for now. I'm going to update as I find more and more my favorite things. After all, life is all about the lovely small things, silver lining(s) in the cloudy sky.
