Breyer's Limited Edition "Grasshopper Pie" - Safeway
Yum. This is one of the best new ice creams I've had in a while. If you love thin mints/ grasshoppers, you'll love this!!! Thin mint type of cookies in a very light not overly minty ice cream; so refreshing!! Look for sales, I love buying Breyers only when its on sale, which is fairly often at Safeway, thankfully! :)
Chloe Agnew - "Walking in the Air" - itunes
So I bought this album on itunes probably a couple years ago, wanting something relaxing and simple. It has been one that I revisit time and time again on my ipod!!! I am not a Charlotte Church fan, nor an Opera fan. I just love this album. Its different, beautiful and pretty and a lovely change of pace. And you bond with it too, I love it the more I listen to it, whereas at the beginning I knew I liked some of the songs, but wasn't sure about the whole album. Try a listen on itunes! This is a breath of fresh air. I love listening to it on flights, its an escape from everything around. It probably lowers stress levels!! :)
Chaco flip flops in "blossom" - REI
Love the support and quality and comfort of these! A dream for flip flop wearers who want good support! REI had them on sale, so shop around for prices and sales!!
Despicable Me
Can't remember the last time I watched an entire kids movie and enjoyed it. Just saw this recently and loved it!!
Microwave heating bag - Mall
So some people have these that might just sit around. I on the other hand use mine faithfully and love it!! Its a nice relaxing aromatherapy steam heat that comes from mine (its one of those you get at a peddler at the mall). Its great for naturally curing headaches, neck pain, lower back pain, stomach uncomfortability, helping fall asleep easier (I put it over my forehead and eyes some nights and am out like a light!) I've had it for years and its still trekkin'! Its good not to overheat it (to not burn the kernel things in it, or your skin), and based on which microwave/wattage you're using, play around and figure out the perfect time for it.

Crockpot Incredibility!!
So we registered for a Crockpot last year for our wedding, and as much as I knew it was gonna be such a dinner help, I also had no personal experience using one, so I felt a bit intimidated (which I laugh at now :) and it sat & sat in the box. After seeing friends' posts on facebook about Crockpot meals a couple months ago, and got the gumption to finally attempt making a meal in mine -- I completely just guessed and tossed stuff in the Crockpot one morning before work, in a hurry and trying to just guess what would be good to add. I tossed in beef pot roast, onion, garlic, roasted red pepper, celery, seasonings, herbs, random condiments I think like worcestershire sauce and mustard, and i think about 4 cups of water. I turned the timer on 8.5 hours (yes ours has a digital timer which is awesome!) and I came home from work, made some egg noodles, pulled the roast out of the crockpot to cut, and turned the crockpot on high, adding some flour and whisking to make a gravy, which happened super fast and was so easy - topped noodles with beef & gravy, and on my gosh, it was soo good!! My hubby said "good dinner babe!!" And I was totally like "It wasn't me!!! I did nothing!! This is awesome!!" :) And it fed us a couple more meals too, how nice!! Since then, I realize I can just guess every time and its all good!! :) This is definitely a cure for wifely dinner planning anxiety, let me tell you!! :)

Emergen-C
I just recently put this on facebook, with so many people sick lately. This is the thing that finally made the difference for me, to get me over my symptoms and boost my energy and immune system back up! Best results are from drinking it 2x a day! Tropical and Super Orange are my favorite flavors so far. Best prices I've seen for the boxes, are at Whole Foods and Target. And at Whole Foods they sell the individual packets as well, so you can grab a few flavors to try and see what you like best. Some of the flavors I am not a fan of. haha.
