A few summer favorites

I just took a wild guess and decided the majority of you probably don’t care to hear about what I did yesterday. Especially considering it involves such excitement as a trip to the grocery store, going to the pool and driving Caroline to soccer practice.

So I thought I’d tell you about a few of my favorite things this summer. Please note that whiskers on kittens are nowhere to be found on this list. Not because I don’t like them so much as I don’t have a cat in my life right now.

Favorite Candle:

Capri Blue Jar Candle

My friend Leslie gave me one of these candles a few months ago and I am addicted. Plus, do you not see the turquoise jar? What’s not to love?

This is one of those candles that make your whole house smell divine.

Favorite Moisturizer:

Neutrogena sesame body oil

This has been one of my summer favorites for a long time. It smells so great and makes your skin feel good even after a day in the pool.

Favorite Song:

Mirrors by JT

I knew the first time I heard it that this would be my favorite song of the summer. It sounds like something Justin would have sang when he was with ‘N Sync.

And, yes. I call him Justin. We’re very close friends. In my mind.

Favorite Hair Product:

Coconut Oil

My hairdresser told me I should use coconut oil on my hair and it is a wonder. It totally moisturizes it, but doesn’t leave it feeling oily or limp.

You just leave it in for about ten minutes and then shampoo it out.

Favorite Nail Polish:

Essie nail polish

I love all these bright pastels from Essie. It’s like a basket of Easter eggs.

Favorite Cover Up:

ruffle swim coverup dress

This is a great coverup. I love that it’s easy to pull on and not too short.

Favorite Beauty Product:

garnier bb cream

I realize all the cool kids have moved on to CC creams, but I just discovered the BB cream in the spring and I’m not ready to leave it behind yet. Especially because I really like this. It’s been the perfect thing to wear all summer.

Favorite Sandwich:

veggie bagel sandwiches

I may have a slight obsession with this sandwich. But I will tell you that I don’t put cheese on mine other than the cream cheese. That’s all I need.

And you can do a mix of various vegetables depending on your personal preference. I tend to stick to tomatoes, cucumber and lettuce. But I’m a small town girl, living in a lonely world and I took the midnight train going anywhere.

Wait…

Favorite Bible Study:

Gideon by Priscilla Shirer

If you’re looking for a great Bible study, look no further. I’ve always loved the story of Gideon and Priscilla Shirer has written such a fabulous study on him.

Favorite Movie:

Despicable Me 2

Granted, it’s the only movie I’ve seen in the theater this summer, but I think it’d be my favorite no matter what because MINIONS.

So what are some of your favorites this summer? Clearly you’re not limited to any specific category.
