Favorite Finds Friday!

My bloggy friend Kerri has a great idea.

Favorite Finds Friday!!!!!!!

Kerri's blog is The Pleasures of My Life. And it is wonderfully awesome! You have to check it out. I feel a kinship with her. I'm sure we would be terrific friends if we were neighbors or something. Anyway, her idea is that we all (bloggers) share things we have found that we like.

This is what Kerri said...

Wouldn't it be fun to see what other people are buying and enjoying?!

I love when other bloggers recommend things they have tried and loved.

I completely agree with her. Don't you?

Here are my newest

Favorite Finds

My first two go together...

I really like Clinique's line of Even Better moisturizer and dark spot corrector. It is supposed to even out your skin. Now, I don't have really bad spots. But I developed a new sun spot (I guess) on the outer corner of my cheek this year. I think the corrector has definitely helped! And, I *really* like the moisturizer. If feels so good. The stuff is expensive for me. I asked for it for my birthday/Christmas presents from my mom. :) I am not sure if I can spoil myself like this...we'll see.



These are my *new* running shoes. Asics Gel Nimbus 12. They are fabulous. They were rated #1 in my Fitness Magazine for Women "neutral runners"....I guess that's what I am??? They were a bit of a splurge for me. However, I saved about $35 dollars with online deals and free shipping. You just have to search. I have discovered that if you are serious about running, you don't want to skimp on gear for the feet. Taking care of those babies is key! I don't regret the purchase at all. I got dark shoes for the winter running. Who knows what I'm talking about? I just thought it sounded good, and a little stylish...?

These are my new running pants, but they are actually Old Navy Yoga Pants. I got them on sale for $15. I bought the XL because they are meant to be skin tight, but I'm not a big fan of skin tight. I try not to show off my cellulite (I don't want to make anyone jealous w/ how much of it I have), if you know what I mean. These are just tight enough not to rub me when I run. My husband thinks they are pretty cute, too. ;) And, I think they look good with my new shoes! I probably wouldn't wear them out in public...too self-conscious, but my husband says it would perfectly fine if I wanted to. I'm not sure if he is just being nice. I'll ask my sister next time she visits.

I am sure Baby Spinach is not new to many of you. But, I have just discovered it. AND I LOVE IT. I may have traded my Diet Coke addiction for Baby Spinach. I have been putting it in wraps, salads, and smoothies. And, bonus...I have even gotten my kids to eat it. You can't really taste it when you mix it in--I promise. Green fruit smoothies just taste fruity not spinachy! We had grilled chicken, onion, spinach fajitas. Turkey/spinach, cranberry on whole wheat wraps! YUM! Delicious!



This is my new favorite breakfast to make. You can guess...it is with BABY SPINACH. I scrambled 2 eggs (1 with only whites). Mixed in a little mozella cheese. Broke up one piece of turkey bacon. Mixed in a handful of spinach until it was all hot in the pan. Put it on a whole wheat wrap. Both of my girls LOVED it, too. My youngest is very picky and won't even touch most vegetables. Once I promised her it wasn't lettuce (well, it's not), she took her first bite. She likes it!!!! We are loving this! A half of the wrap is perfect for me (with a grapefruit), and the other half for one daughter. My husband eats a whole plus another half. :)

I hope you join me and Kerri on the Favorite Finds Friday!!!
