Café Con Monica

Three on Thursday

February 8, 2018

Stolen from  Stephanie @ Not Entirely Perfect because I love her Thursday posts! 

Lush – Mask of Magnaminty…really most of their masks but this one in particular is my favorite. I am learning to curb my Lush obsession because that shit is pricey but I love the smell of this one, its always nice and cool on the skin and it leaves your skin feeling tingly & clean! 


Kindle Fire HD…It is such a hot topic to discuss kindles with avid readers. It’s like there is some offense to use one but you  know what? I am a book hoarder. It is the one thing that I collect and have very little self control over and so the kindle is my lifesaver. At this moment I have 854 books on my kindle. I do still love a real book, nothing compares, and if I find a book I loved on the kindle I will buy the paper copy. BUT convenience and being able to hide my hoarding problems make it a winner. 

Timbuk2…more specifically the Classic Messenger Bag. I have had this bag for 7 years now, it has been through 13 countries, plane, train, auto, boat…you name it we have done it and while its a little beat up it is still my favorite and most sturdy bag. It is waterproof, comes with a strap that i can attach around to hold the bag in place and again…waterproof! Anyway, I am a fan. 


What are some of your favorite things? Any recommendations?

    haha it's definitely easier to hoard digitally! That's one of my things to work on this year, I have a few e-books sitting in my Amazon account that I need to clear out.

    So I've got a great Kindle but I STILL am more likely to read a book if it's the real thing in front of me. I never expected to feel that way about a book.

    LOVE that Lush mask! And I'm a book hoarder too, but I read much more digitally because it's easier to carry on my commute! I haven't purchased a Timbuk2 bag yet because I haven't needed one, but I have read great reviews and would check them out. I really like how slim a lot of their bags are too.
