I have kind of a running list of things that I adore. It's getting pretty full, so I think it's time to share. I'm not getting paid to promote any of this, I just am really excited about all of these things. Here's what I'm loving as of late...At Target
We have a Super Target close to us. I do most of our grocery shopping there, which is a great excuse to be at Target at least once a week! Here's a look in my cart.Wishbone Light Buffalo Ranch This dressing is great on salads, but my favorite is just to use it as a dip for celery sticks. It's like wings without the guilt.
Method Tomato Vine All Purpose CleanerThis stuff is like a garden in a bottle. It smells incredible and is great for cleaning the kitchen counters. Plus it's all natural with no harsh chemicals and the bottle is pretty enough to just leave out on the counter. It's a seasonal limited addition kind of thing, so hurry! I've been stocking up like mad. Today it was on sale for $2.66 and I had a $1 coupon today so get in my cart you glorious summer in a spray bottle!
Threshold Organic BlanketsI bought the one in Clownfish Orange, for the guest bedroom, but I really want to get one of each color. They are the perfect lightweight cotton alternative to a big comforter here in Arizona, and I love the herringbone texture.
Dreyer's Outshine Fruit Bars in Lemon These are only 2 points on Weight Watchers, and taste like those lemon chills at fairs/carnivals (or if you're from southeastern Wisconsin, Six Flags Great America or Summerfest).
Revlon ColorStay FoundationAs I get
older more mature, I'm realizing I need to use foundation regularly to even out my skin tone and provide a good base. Before it's always just been maybe a little tinted moisturizer and face powder and good to go. But, lately I've been using Revlon ColorStay Foundation for combination/oily skin (in Warm Golden now that I have a tan), which has a great matte finish for fully made up days or nights out. I am still experimenting with BB creams and primers for a less made up look (more on that another time) because it is definitely a full coverage makeup. But, it hides shine, spots and wrinkles all day without feeling too cakey or heavy. It also photographs really well, as I am the queen of the shiny forehead photo otherwise. They do make another formula for normal/dry skin which has a bit of a satin finish to it for less greasy folk, but I definitely need the matte.
Revlon ColorStay Just Bitten Kissable Balm StainOk friends, I tried this on
Hollywood Housewife's recommendation the other day
. I am now obsessed - as in I picked up two at Target to try, and had to go to Walgreens later that same day to get 2 more colors obsessed. I'm usually a lip gloss kind of girl, but sometimes that's just too sticky for me, and often not enough color when you want something kind of bold. Lipstick seems like too much color sometimes, and I really don't like the texture or way it wears. This stain is the consistency of a nice moisturizing balm, but with tons of color. It's also a great way to try bolder colors without looking like a clown.
On Pinterest
Can I just tell you that Pinterest makes me a better person? No exaggeration. Now, a lot of my time is wasted on Pinterest, and it can make you feel inadequate if you let it. But, overall I am far more creative, and life is easier because of Pinterest. Baked Artichoke ChickenThis seems way fancier than it is, but you just throw everything in one pan and stick it in the oven; easy and tasty.
Southwest Quinoa SaladAbsolutely delicious and it is really a filling, hearty, fresh meal. We had it warm, but it was even better cold the next day. Perfect for summer!
Confetti Chicken Pasta with Spicy Cream SauceI had Mr. Ladd just grill up a few chicken breasts that were marinated in italian dressing and then used half of them for this and half of them for chicken salad the next day.
Breakfast Ham CupsEverything good about breakfast in convenient, easy to personalize, great to cook for a group little cups.
A Box of Sunshine I have now sent out 3 of these boxes of yelow as gifts. It is so fun to collect all the sunshiny goodies, and it's the perfect gift coming from Arizona to chillier parts of the country. Such a sweet way to let someone know you are thinking of them.
How about you? Have you tried any of these? What are you obsessed with currently? Do share!
