Loving, Lately

I really like it when other bloggers share things that they've been enjoying as of late, so I've hopped on the bandwagon.

Trader Joe's Candy Cane Green Tea. TJ's really knows how to impress with seasonal items. This tea is fantastic and is a wonderful replacement for my beloved coffee. Don't be shocked when you see a lady (errr, me) with twelve boxes waiting in the checkout line...

Pomegranate. Can't get enough. That being said, if you've ever tried to dissect one of these I'm sure that you quickly picked up on how difficult it can be to get those arils out! Stubborn things. I've used this method before, but it's still a messy task. I've tackled a couple of them this season, but I'd totally be lying if I denied picking up the pre-picked ones from Trader Joes. Worth it in my book!
 

 

These awesome no-bake cookies from Tina at Carrots N Cake. The only ingredient that's tough to find in stores is coconut butter (not to be confused with coconut oil), but I order mine on Amazon and it's totally worth getting to make these cookies. Also, I'm pretty much loving any Christmas cookie right now and I've been eating them non-stop. I don't even care if my pants start to get tighter in the process....that's what New Year's resolutions are made for, right?! Breakfast, lunch, dinner - cookie time.
 

 

This Noel wreath from World Market. It's tough to find wreaths for our door because the screen door closes so close to the main door, so we can't have anything bulky. I did a little happy dance when I found this one, though.

 

 

 

Zella leggings. Zella is a new(ish) find to me, and is Nordstrom's Lululemon-type workout wear.  It's much more affordable, though, which is enough to convert me. I have the leggings above and love them - not only because they're super comfy, but the design is different and fun as well.

I've also discovered yurbuds, which have been life-changing when it comes to working out with music. The ipod headphones are notoriously awful, so I finally invested money in some quality headphones and I love them! They're designed by athletes, and the fit is amazing. They would make a great Christmas present for someone who loves to workout with music.


Lastly, I've been loving Christmas and holiday cards! There's nothing like coming home to mail from friends and family, both near and far, and seeing their holiday cheer.
