What I'm Loving Have you seen these Brazil Nut skin care line at Trader Joes? I'm obsessed! It's so good. It's VERY similar to the more expensive Brazilian Bum Bum cream but for a fraction of the cost. My cousin works for Bum Bum and even he had to admit it was a great dupe! Of course you get what you pay for; and Bum Bum has better ingredients and a slight better texture (in my opinion). But I feel guilty using this Trader Joes version all the times since it's only $7. The Bum Bum line is a treat/splurge. I usually grab some during the Sephora sale.  Peonies. We have two peony bushes in our backyard and it makes me so happy when they bloom. It means that school is almost over and summer is on the horizon. I also love the way they smell in our house.  What We're Eating I'm failing in the meal planning department lately. I was away for the long weekend, but even before that it's been a struggle the last week or two. Our schedules are crazy. The kids usual...
Happy Friday! In a couple of hours I'll be on my way to Chicago for BlockCon, the first ever New Kids on the Block convention. I'm meeting my friend Stephanie there. She lives in Atlanta and I haven't seen her in years. I'm so glad we can reunite over our love for NKOTB! I'm looking forward to a girls weekend and tonight's concert with my favorite boy band.  Some of my BlockCon essesntials: I also packed these  Jessica Simpson Diza Strappy Platform Sandal s which I'm loving! I don't wear heels much anymore so when I do I have two requirements: 1) they must be comfortable and 2) I must be able to walk in them. I bought the natural at full price, and when I saw they were on sale I just went back and ordered the black.  The Dudley Stephens 50% off Sale! One of my favorite brands, Dudley Stephens, is having a 50 % off everything (including items already on sale!) this weekend. I never see Dudley discounted this much so now is the time to stock up! I purchase...
FRIDAY FAVORITES: May 5, 2023 1. BASEBALL : Baseball season is in full swing over here. On Wednesday night Jack and his teammates went to the Yankee game and got to walk on the field before the game. So cool! I love watching him play. He has a game tonight, a game tomorrow morning, and a game Sunday morning.  2. FIREFLY LANE: I'm obsessed! Part 2 of Season 2 was just released. Each episode has me sobbing! I'm hoping to finish it this weekend.  3. BASKIN ROBBINS RAINBOW SHERBERT: This is my all time favorite desser, going back to when I was a kid. It's my birthday tomorrow and I'm having a Baskin Robbins Rainbow Sherbert cake! They do make such a thing in case you were wondering, but you have to special order it. It's the same cake I had at my 16th birthday!  4. NKOTB Sneakers: These are my birthday present to myself! I can't wait to wear them to BlockCon and when we have 80s day at school. I bought them on etsy and the seller sent a really cute note!  That'...
