Guilty Pleasures
Dear Readers:
I have a confession to make. I am a simple girl in a materialistic world. I have found a few simple pleasures that I enjoy, and I enjoy them fully.
Peppermints. Simple. Cheap. One bite is all I need to feel decadent. Crush them up and add to ice cream, melted almond bark, or in a brownie and you have heaven.
And this leads me to brownies.
I’m not getting paid, compensated or fed brownies for saying this.
These are $2 a box, guilt free, amazing brownies.
“What? How can that be?,” you say. It just is. Try them. Trust me.
I keep finding, buying and apparently collecting these vintage Swiss metal serving dishes. I haven’t paid more than $10 for a set. The bright colors make me smile. I think that’s worth $10.
I’m not getting paid, compensated or given free products for saying this-I wish they would, though.
When I can’t wash the mop top, I use this product. With a few spritzes, the greasiness goes away and this stuff allows me one more day before I have to shampoo.
I have found too many awesome ceramic cats. Nuff said.
I’m not getting paid, compensated or given free products for saying this-AGAIN, I wish they would.
This was a gift from Biceps on a day he deemed, “Pamper Day“. I love this cuticle cream and it resides on my night stand. Each night as we recap our days, I smooth the lotion into my cuticles. And it’s awesome.
These are a few of my guilty pleasures. I hope you share in them, too. It might make your day, your week, or your new current obsession.
Love-Rebekah
Hey Rebekah! Great list! Since Fiesta Ware is my “oh, you just can’t have too much!” – those bright colored Swiss serving dishes definitely caught my attention! But I’m most curious about where you purchase the brownie mixes. Regular grocery store or health food store? I really enjoy reading about your adventures! Thank You for sharing!!
Janice-
I think the safest bet is to find the brownies at a health food store-I know Whole Foods & Trader Joe’s has carried these in the past. Although-I’ve regularly found them at our local grocery store called Reasor’s. I’ve never know Wal-Mart to carry them-they aren’t too interested in healthy options most of the time :). If you just can’t find them anywhere-tell me and I will mail you a box. That’s how much I want others to enjoy them. I’m serious!
Hey Rebekah! Thanks for the info. I found the brownies on Amazon, but will try a couple of local health food stores first. In southwest MO we can only dream of shopping at Whole Foods.:( It’s really hard to watch episodes of Good Eats when Alton does his shopping! We love going to Savannah, GA for vacation & one of the first stops is always at Kroger to buy a year’s worth of “Southern” food for friends & family we can’t get here – Dukes Mayo, oh my! Thank You for the offer to send me a box, that’s really generous of you! I’ll check w/ my local Dillons first, sometime they can order products they don’t sell on a regular basis. And yes, I’m still thinking about those amazing dishes you shared!!!!!!
For a great no wash ‘shampoo’; try the 411 – 1/4 cup (4T) oatmeal, 1 T Cornstarch, 1 T Baking Soda in a Food processor until the oatmeal is fine. Store in a sealed container. ‘Shampoo’ in as necessary, brush out, then style and go! I am all about not spending money on things that do not need to have money spent on them! I have also just used a bit of baby powder in my hands and rubbed through my hair; works great!
This is awesome! I love it! I am going to try it today!
