A few of my favorite things

Without breaking into song and dance I wanted to share a few of my favorite things.  I don’t know why, but I have a fascination with making lists, so naturally I will do this in list fashion but with commentary, too.  I thought about doing it in likes/dislikes format but feel like focusing only on positive things today. 

You should also know that this list changes, it is by no means comprehensive, and it is not in any kind of order.

1.  Boots Hawaiian Islands Coconut & Hibiscus Body Butter – This lotion is really great.  It is very moisturizing and smells good all day long.  Personally, I don’t smell the hibiscus, only coconut.  Be careful though, it does make you want to go lounge on a beach somewhere!  There is also a body scrub that is good, too.

2.  Kiwi fruit – Most of the time you see kiwi fruit it is sliced up in fruit salads.  But if you want to just eat kiwi, peeling and slicing takes too much effort.  My dad taught me a convenient way to eat it if you don’t feel like peeling and slicing.  Just cut it in half then use a spoon to scoop out bites right out of the skin.  Thanks, dad!  Recently, a friend pointed out that you could instead cut it near one of the ends and use the scoop method the same way.  I just tried her method and found that it actually contains the juices and is therefore less messy to eat.  Thanks, Kristin!

3.  Hip hop music – For those of you who know me well, this is no surprise at all.  But there have been several occasions when people expressed surprise at finding out this fact about me.  I love most kinds of music, but hip hop is my favorite.  Hip hop makes me feel energized and can pick me up even when I am in the worst of moods.  I am that lady who gets stuck in traffic, car booming, singing and dancing while she waits.  I don’t care if people laugh at me!  Although, I would be kind of embarrassed if it was someone I knew!

 

4.  Coconut snow cones – Yes, there seems to be a theme.  I like coconut things.  My mom told me she craved Sonic slushes when she was pregnant with me, so I blame this one on her!  A few summers ago I think I got a coconut snow cone every day, but then I had to get a lot of dental work done…so that ended that.  I don’t get them very often now but when I do, I savor every moment!

5.  Text messages – Super convenient.  Enough said about that.

I invite you to tell me a few of your favorite things.
