But, in an effort to celebrate life's positives and focus on the goodness, this week's FFs are simple things that make me smile. A food, a scent, a wine, a face scrub and a sweet treat.
This week in natural disaster news, us Manhattanites have experienced an earthquake with a hurricane coming our way. Birds were falling out of the sky a few months ago. Fish randomly dying in rivers. I'm not saying the world ISNT ending. All joking aside, I pretty much just get really bummed out when weather plays a role in ruining plans. On Saturday, we were to be celebrating a full NYC 60th Bday Celebration for my mother in law with all the bells & whistles. *SIGH* Really was looking forward to this. And seeing my CUTER THAN SPRINKLES niece :) Hurricane Irene, go away. But, in an effort to celebrate life's positives and focus on the goodness, this week's FFs are simple things that make me smile. A food, a scent, a wine, a face scrub and a sweet treat. Mexican Taco Feast. This will be our dinner tonight and when the email I get from Lee saying we're having tacos for dinner elicits a response of "mmmmmmm friday tacos!!!!!!!!"...you know it will be a good Friday. And how cheap is a homemade taco meal? The answer: very. Yankee Candle in Clean Cotton. Without fail, I always go back to this scent. It makes our apartment feel like a big house and super comfy home :) Sequoia Grove Sauv Blanc. You know how certain wines completely take you back to the spot you were when you first sipped it? Lee and I lunched under the sequoia trees at this winery during a Napa jaunt in 2009. One of the most amazing afternoons spent on a vacation and this wine totally takes me back. Deli sandwiches, this sauvignon blanc, my happy place. St. Ives Timeless Skin Daily Microderm Abrasion. BEST FACIAL SCRUB EVER. I'm not sure I actually agree that this is as good as real microderm abrasion, but it sure leaves my skin silky smooth. Trader Joe's Salt Water Taffy. It is due to these treats alone that I have considered going on a 30 day sugar fast. See that red and white twisty one in the middle? They are always the first to be eaten. Just like pink Starburts;)
