Things I've Been Loving As of Recently | October 2022

 

Hello, all! It's been a minute since I did a favorites kinda post for you today. I wanted to share everything across the board- music, food, coffee, etc for this post. Let's get into it- I've got a lot to share!

Most importantly- MUSIC- I've had a lot of music I've been into and it was hard to pick songs (if you are a music lover this is very understanding for you):

Food (most of these you can find at speciality grocery stores/regular grocery stores or online from Thrive Market) :

Fit Joy Grain Free, Vegan, & Gluten Free Sea Salt Pretzels: if you cannot do grains/gluten or are vegan, these mimic regular pretzels pretty well! 

Thrive Market brand Vanilla Coconut Sugar: this is such a fun addition to baking or to your coffee and the vanilla is very subtle, too (which is nice if you don't want a strong vanilla flavor in anything you use it for).

Tattooed Chef Vegan Gluten Free 2 "Cheese" Cauliflower Crust Pizza: This is one pizza that mimics a regular cheese pizza so well and it's on a cauliflower crust which doesn't weigh you down (I personally don't love thick crust pizza so this is perfect for me). 

Tattooed Chef Organic Greens 5 Frozen Veggie Blend: this veggie blend has been one of my favorites to accompany any of my meals- love the combination of veggies that they use in it.

Coffee:

Death Wish Pumpkin Chai Ground Coffee- I normally don't love flavored coffees but this was such a good one to try! Perfectly strong and tastes like a real pumpkin flavor- nothing too artificial tasting (which is always a nice plus).

Good and Gather Organic Peru Cusco Whole Bean Coffee- appreciate the fact it's a whole bean and I can grind it myself and the taste isn't too bad either. 

Body Care / Skin Care: 

Method Daily Zen Body Wash- this scent profile (ie cucumber aloe green tea) makes you feel like you are at the spa: 

Mario Badescu Face Spray in green tea, aloe, and cucumber- light and refreshing is the perfect scent description of this face spray:

 

f.a.e. by Thrive Market Instant Refresh Cleansing Wipes- this product begins as a small pallet and you run it under water and it becomes a facial wipe- how cool is that? Anyways, it cleanses and tones and the scent is very light- so for those with sensitive skin this work wonderful for you- you can find this on Thrive Market. 

Misc. Items:

Brookstone Himalayan Salt Night Light I bought from Marshall's- this has been a nice accompaniment to my bathroom (so I don't have to turn on my overhead lights in my bathroom) and the light is super soft and subtle (which is always nice anyways).

Fairy Lights from Target: so back over the summer I had a scary accident of where my hair caught on fire from a candle I had lit so since that day I am no longer allowed to have candles; now I have these awesome battery operated lights from Target that add such a nice ambiance to my bathroom and it completely changed my opinions about candles, too (I miss them badly even though I don't want to repeat that situation ever again).

Favorite memories so far...

• Seeing Lady GaGa on her Chromatica Ball Tour at Nationals Park in DC- we had a few snags prior to the show (ie the weather being super warm and a program delay we weren't aware of). But overall, the show was great (well what we stayed for since the delay I mentioned already). She played a variety of hits and I would love to see her again! I got the tickets as a surprise as an early 30th Birthday Present (my sister bought these back in March and I had no idea until late July of this year about it- I don't like surprises but this was one of my faves!). 
• Seeing Hamilton at The Kennedy Center with family.
• Graduating from the End Hunger culinary program over this past summer from the culinary program summer session.

Well, that's all for this post- hope you enjoyed reading!
