“If Friday had a face, I would kiss it.” – Empowered Partnerships
Happy Friday, my friends!! “Frinally!”- Empowered Partnerships (again)
I can’t kiss anything today, actually. My lips won’t pucker due to the tooth/gum surgery I had yesterday. It’s like a flashback to the traumatic time back when I was a teenager and I had my impacted wisdom teeth removed. I look like Alvin’s or Theodore’s girlfriend.
Friday always puts me in a good mood, in a good mental space, but today is more of a low-key, chill, good mood. It might have something to do with the pain meds . . . .
New readers, first of all, thanks for reading! I love all of my readers. You make me feel so happy and heard. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Fridays, I stay at the superficial level and write about three favorite things such as products, songs, twitter feeds, etc. that just make my life a little more peachy! Please check out previous Fridays for ideas. There are so many Favorite Things Fridays now, it might as well be a catalog.
Here goes today’s favorites:
Rubbermaid Animal Stopper Garbage Can – I don’t like writing reviews on Amazon, but this garbage can is so effective, I think that I did take the time to write a review about this one. We keep our garbage cans on the outside of our house. We had a giant raccoon who decided to become a next-door neighbor to our garbage cans. He felt like he had hit the jackpot and our garbage became his nightly buffet, like he was on a cruise or something. His ability to spread garbage on our lawn was legendary. Every morning, we wondered what kind of mess we would be waking up to and we would fight over who got to clean it up that day. We tried all the different anti-animal sprays on the market. We tried all sorts of bungee ties and different garbage cans and this is the only garbage can that actually worked! Ranger Rick finally moved on. There are claw and teeth marks all over our garbage can and it was tipped on its side a lot of days, but that masked bandit could not get this garbage can lid off! Worth every penny!
Lancome Advanced Genifique Yeux Light-Pearl Eye Illuminator – Yikes, try saying that three times while chewing some peanuts. I really wish I didn’t like this under-eye treatment. I’m all about being able to get away with drug store brands if I can, but this stuff is really good. I have never found an eye serum I have liked until now. Now, no cream is a miracle when you are approaching 50, but this is the first one that I saw a marked difference in the skin under my eyes within a few days of using it. Pricey, yes. Worth it, yes. The Lancome counters at the department stores and at Ulta, carry samples of this, so ask for some samples first to see if it works for you. Then, break open the piggy bank and treat yourself. It’s Friday!
Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse Thin & Crispy Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies – When my husband and I first got married, we lived near to a Pepperidge Farm Outlet. That place made me as happy as our friend the raccoon was, before we got the Animal Stopper garbage can. I love all things Pepperidge Farm, but this particular flavor of cookie is over-the-top yum. It’s a new-ish addition to the Pepperidge Farm Family of All Things Delicious. A bag of these cookies doesn’t last a hot minute in our household (unless you find a good hiding spot for the bag. SHHHH!) Come on, moms, don’t pretend like you don’t have your own little hidden hideaways for “treats for harried heads of household.”
Okay, time to get back to icing my cheeks. Feel free to send sympathy and love to me via the Comments section and add favorite things of your own while you’re at it. I won’t mind at all.
