Hi friends and readers!!! Happy Favorite Things Friday!!! New readers, I don’t get meaningful on Friday. I keep it fun and superficial and I typically list three favorite items, foods, stores, songs, etc. that rock my world. I would be thrilled if you readers would add to the list in the Comments section. Let’s keep this economy rolling! Please check out previous Friday posts for other favorites. I haven’t reneged on any of them, yet.
Yesterday, I had “my kind of day.” I got “out of my element.” I had some returns to do at a chain store that I frequent and I decided that instead of going to my usual “haunt”, I was going to find another one, in another part of town, to force me to get out of “my rut.” As I drove to the different chain store, I stopped at any store and/or nature site that caught my fancy. It was so much fun! I took deep breaths at beautiful gulf view venues, I got a wonderful cup of strawberry iced tea, served in antique china at a fabulous French marketplace, I made a list of restaurants I want to try with my husband on “date night” and I found some thrift store “steals.” I had wonderful conversations with people along the way, even meeting a connection for my son, who is pondering the idea of medical school. I feel refreshed and rejuvenated and all it took was a few hours in an area just 45 minutes from where I live. Life is good, if you let it be. On to favorite things Friday . . .
Larissa Loden jewelry – I discovered this jewelry from one of my thrift store jackpots yesterday. I got a Larissa Loden necklace still attached to its original packaging for $1! STEAL!! But that turns out to be a blessing for me and for Larissa, because I went to her website. (she is a jewelry artist out of Minnesota). Her items are so unique and cool and fabulous that I am sure that I will be ordering more items. To give you an idea about her super cool edginess, she has a Be Prepared necklace that has a tiny little jackknife pendant. Very devil-may-care! Check it out.
Oranda Goldfish – I’ve had aquariums off and on, most of my life. I’ve tried saltwater, freshwater and brackish. However, my favorite all-time fish is the freshwater, fancy variety of goldfish called “oranda” goldfish. Currently, I have three of these little loves who live in a pond-like structure, on my side porch. Goldfish are dirty, messy fish, but they make up for it,with their adorable faces, slow moving swimming style and their willingness to meet you at the top of the water for their food. The orandas are the fish with the chubby cheeks. They are the fish with what some people say, looks like their brain is sitting on top of their heads. I prefer the description someone at a pet store said once – “Omg! They look like cute, little, swimming Lucille Balls!!”
Phytoceramides – Okay, friends, this is another supplement recommendation so again, please check with your doctor first before ingesting anything me or anyone else on the internet, suggests that you try. I, myself, starting taking them because Dr. Oz said that they work. No, Dr. Oz isn’t my personal physician, but I’ve been taking them for a month and I haven’t been hospitalized yet. Anyway, this supplement is supposedly a great one for keeping your skin looking young and less wrinkly. I haven’t witnessed miracles, but I believe that I have noticed a difference in my skin’s elasticity – enough that I plan on taking them for at least another month.
Have a wonderful weekend, friends!!
