It Rocked My Socks.....

So I get excited over the little things, like getting unexpected packages in the mail. How exciting it was to get this clean white heavy box in the mail. When I opened it up, to my surprise there were three, yes three, full size bottles of new Palmolive Fresh Infusions dish soap to try! How cool is that? I was totally expecting sample size.

Now I don't usually get giddy over dish soap, but I was impressed by these scents. The three scents I received were: Lemon Thyme, Lime Basil, and Ginger White Tea. Oh my goodness. It was tough to decide which one I wanted to "gift" to a friend as instructed. But in the end, I mailed the Ginger White Tea to my Mama to try.

When it came to scent, the Lime Basil was a clear winner with me. It just smells clean. I don't know any other way to describe it.

I was very impressed with the consistency of the soap too. Does that seem weird? Well, I don't know about you, but I get really annoyed when liquid dish soap is too much liquid and not enough soap? Just seems watered down and like it's not going to get the job done. No problem with that here! This stuff rocks. Well, as much as dish soap can rock. ;)

I thought for sure this was going to come with a premium price tag, but around $3.00 for a 16 ounce bottle, I feel it's an incredible value.

Have you tried any new household items lately that have just rocked your socks off? I'd love to hear!!

Blog Burnout

It's official. I have a case of "blog burnout."

I'm not sure if it's my recent desire to keep my personal life off the internet. (There is scary stuff going on every day in this wicked world!)

Or maybe it's the fact that life is just so busy, but to say I'm feeling uninspired is an understatement.

I pull up Blogger and tell myself, you need to come up with a post. But why?

Life has a way of taking priority. Sometimes I have a great idea for a good post and that is when I enjoy blogging. I don't like when it feels like a chore. I hate that "I haven't posted something in a week, or I'll be forgotten soon" feeling.

I think I've come to grips, I'm not going to ever be a professional blogger. You will not see new content from me every day. What you will see is yummy recipes, fun tutorials, and some occasional humourous personal posts. Am I a dork that my favorite posts are those that make me laugh when I read them back to myself? Yeah, probably so. #don'tcare #dork4life

For a little while now I've been living full on vegetarian / nearly vegan (I have had yogurt). When I say a little while, I mean the past 9 days. It was rough at first, but I'm getting the hang of it. So you may be seeing some vegetarian recipes coming up! And if you have any you'd like to suggest, I'd love to hear!

P.S. I totally lost 6 lbs in 8 days!! Which has me pretty stoked. =)
