5 on Friday!

Thank God it's Friday!!!  I'm linking up with April, Natasha, Christina, and Darci again for 5 on Friday so I've got 5 random thoughts for you today.

Trader Joe's recently came to the DFW area and I had yet to visit one, even though that's where the wine for my wedding came from!  My coworkers were sweet and provided all the wine as a wedding gift to us. 

Yesterday, my coworker and I ventured out during our lunch break and went to Trader Joe's and it was awesome!  I really wish there was one closer to where I live!  I'd go all the time!  They have way more food than I was expecting. They have fresh produce, frozen pizza, all kinds of oils, cheeses, breads, and even household products - mostly organic.  I bought some lotion with aloe without "fragrance".

These Irish Bangers make me laugh....Arrested Development anyone???

I think I'm going to revamp my blog.  It'll have a new look and possibly a new name soon!  I never realized how technical blogging can be.  I'm super impressed with all of the blog authors I currently follow!  See my blog roll on the right side!

I've been trying to make us salads for dinner lately.  It's so much lighter and we haven't been home until later, yet go to bed early.  I definitely can't go to bed with a full stomach so a salad settles a lot better.

Ingredients:

Chopped Romaine

Chicken

Red Bell Peppers

Feta Cheese

Sliced Banana Peppers

Kalamata Olives

Balsamic Vinaigrette (I love making my own with the little Italian packets)

My Favorite Things (under $10)!!!

Today I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea for the Favorite Things Party!  So here are some of my favorite things that are all under $10:

#1

 

 

Victoria Secret's Beauty Rush Lip Gloss

 

I have LOVED this lip gloss for years!  They're $9 each (or 2 for $15) and they last me forever!!  This stuff seriously stays on my lips for a long time.  I love all of the different colors, but my favorite is the Mocktail Hour (second photo above).  It add just enough color and shimmer without being too much.

 

 

#2

Tazo Zen Tea

 

As I mentioned in THIS post, I absolutely love tea!  I drink it every morning and some evenings.  My favorite is the Tazo Zen Tea because it's green tea so it has plenty of antioxidants that are great for you, it has spearmint in it so it calms your stomach and I just love the taste!  You can get a cup already made at Starbucks or buy a box of 20 bags at Starbucks for $6.95 or, for even cheaper, at your local grocery store.

Petal to the Metal Necklace Set from Charming Charlie

 

Can I just tell you how much I love this necklace?!  I kind of wear it a lot! I originally bought it for my rehearsal dinner back in October, but I've found so many outfits to wear it with.  It's $10 (ok so it's 1 cent away from being "under $10") and that includes the earrings too!

 

Well that was fun!  I hope you enjoyed it!
