1. Scentsy wickless candles
These little things are amazing!! I am such a candle freak so when I came upon this I knew I had to have one. My favorite collections are the Isabella and Medallion and I love Bamboo Sugar Cane and something called Camu Camu or something like that. I'm all out of that scent so I can't remember exactly but it smells so yummy. I have my scentsy on my kitchen island and it smells up my whole house! Over the holidays I used all the warm "holidayish" ones and they were great as well. 2. Skinny girl margarita
Anyone who knows me knows that I absolutely love a hot summer day with a cold margarita. Frozen or on the rocks, I drink them all! I came across this from one of my other favorite things (see below) and had to try. A normal margarita can run you about 700 calories, and when you have several and maybe some Mexican food you have way over exceeded your daily calories. As someone who is always counting calories this is perfect for me! Here is the recipe, it is so yummy and refreshing!

-a splash of orange liquor like triple sec
-lots and lots of fresh lime juice
-combine over ice and serve with salt or sugar and a lime wedge
**I have even added some strawberry crystal light to make a strawberry margarita! YUM!
3. Bravo's Real Housewives
What a guilty pleasure this is. I don't have a ton of time to watch TV and frankly I can't really sit still anymore long enough to watch an entire program. My mind is always racing on everything I need to do, sad, I know...anyyyyways, this series I can always sit through and it leaves me wanting more. I love the OC housewives because they all seem so crazy and materialistic and way too botoxed. I love the NYC housewives because I love their clothes and how different their mentality is. There are some strange people on this show and if you haven't seen it I suggest you check it out. 3. Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred
I have always been a little hesitant towards workout videos. It is a lot better for me to go somewhere and workout instead of my living room. It's just too easy to plop down on the couch when you get tired. I bought this and I must admit it is kicking my tail!!! There are three levels so you can work your way up and I am still on level 2. I don't know if I can make it any higher! It's basically only 20 min of strength, cardio, and abs all in two minute increments. It is one tough video! I try to do it three days a week and hit the gym the other two, so we'll see....

I love to cook for my family every night and it can be a real challenge to come up with new things that are yummy and healthy. I get a lot of my recipes from Southern Living and other blogs but most are from the food network. I could sit and watch this stupid channel all day, I even DVR some things! I love Barefoot Contessa the most and Paula Deen of course, also Everyday Italian. This week I am cooking three recipes from these shows and can't wait to try them out. Maybe I should start a recipe blog, hmmm....
5. Anthropologie
Last but certainly not least, my all time favorite store ever! I could spend hours in there and I usually try to pop in once a week. They have such great home and gift things and their clothes are just so cute. I hit up all their sales and am never disappointed with the quality. I just feel like when I wear their clothes I am wearing something different that not every one has seen. I am also such a fan of Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack, TJ Max, and Gap. For Lilly girl I mostly get her clothes at Gap, Nordstrom, Pumpkin Patch, Janie and Jack, or good old Tar-jey, HA!!
