Three on Thursday

Another Thursday post of Favorites thanks to Steph @ Not Entirely Perfect

Birds Eye Steamfresh Riced Cauliflower – This stuff is good. I am not a huge cauliflower fan but I have started to use these with my lunch to kind of help me pretend I don’t miss carbs and it helps. I especially like the savory herb or the garlic ones!

Red Table Talks – I avoid Facebook like the plague and one day I will just delete it rather than use it for blogging groups. That being said my cousin insisted I watch these and they are fantastic. I binged a few older ones yesterday but I really enjoyed the latest video “Unpacking White Privilege and Prejudice”. I really truly hope they make another with these women too.

Do512.com – I used to use Do312.com when I was in Chicago to find all the things going on around the city and I loved it. I was excited to see they have tons of events on there and I find ways to RSVP and free tickets for things all the time. It has really helped AJS and I to explore Austin.

Three On Thursday

Another Thursday post of Favorites thanks to Steph @ Not Entirely Perfect

Avery Sticker Project Paper – I love planner stickers and all that fun stuff but I do not have a cricut (yet) so I decided to buy some sticker paper and print my own stickers for my planner. There are tons of free templates online as well as really cheap designs on etsy! Now I have lots and lots of planner stickers and I can print more!

Skechers Performance Go – I was looking for good walking flats for vacations since I don’t always like to wear gym shoes and I don’t want to pack a bunch of bulky things in my carry on. I got a pair of all black ones so they match anything i wear and they are amazing! I’ve been wearing them everywhere breaking them in and I am loving it so far.

Replacement bands for my versa – My fitbit versa came with a black rubber band and a purple cloth one and they are great but I got a metal band that is kind of shimmery and changes color depending on the angle so it kind of matches everything! Its been great! Only downside is the magnet part sticks to my laptop all the time!

What are you favorites this week?

Three on Thursday: Valentines Edition

Another Thursday post of Favorites thanks to Steph @ Not Entirely Perfect

Since it’s Valentine’s Day and all I thought I’d share my three favorite sweets I like to eat around this time!

Chocolate Covered Cherry Cordials – There was a time where I could an entire box of these no problem. Now I can eat 2 without being disgusted with myself but I still love them. I don’t care how gross they look, I especially like when they are a little cold so they aren’t completely liquid!

Heart Shaped Reese Cups – I actually love to get the shaped ones for every season/holiday. For easter they will be egg shaped and for Halloween pumpkin shaped. They are my favorite because in the shapes they have way more PB to chocolate!

Chocolate covered Strawberries – Now…I like to eat these all the time but around Valentine’s day they are EVERYWHERE. I walk into the grocery store and there is a lady dipping strawberries in a crock pot full of chocolate…I can’t walk by that. Who can? My ex used to go to Godiva every year and bring me home a 1/2 dozen. That was the only thing we did to acknowledge Valentines day. Surprisingly I still love them even though he was a douchecanoe. Let Betty Crocker show you how to make some here!

You didn’t think I’d make it through a Valentine’s day post without talking about a dumb ex right?

In the spirit of this day that makes us all lose our minds and set ridiculous expectations let’s all remember what is important…. the candy is 50%+ off tomorrow.


Do you have any favorite sweets you eat around this time? Are you one of those horrible people who actually eat the conversation hearts? (jk its ok if you are a sick human being)
