Hey everyone! Sorry for my random absence yesterday. I spent all Saturday babysitting and then Sunday I just wasn’t feeling inspired to write anything. However, I did make this awesome Lego car, so the weekend wasn’t a total bust…
I’ve seen a few other bloggers do these “things I’m loving” type posts, so I thought it would be fun to share with you all a few things that I am loving right now!
Blogs that I’ve been really enjoying:
DoTerra Peppermint:
I know I mentioned this stuff in my DoTerra post last week, but I use this almost every day. Whenever my stomach is bothering me, I just put a drop of it in a small cup of cold water, mix it up and drink! 20 minutes later I’m feeling sooooo much better.
Coconut Oil
I’ve only heard good things about coconut oil’s benefits, especially for your health and metabolism. I put some on top of my oats along with almond butter in the morning and it is SO GOOD.
Starbucks Iced Coffee
It’s not actually quite warm enough for iced coffee here in Chicago (other than a couple beautiful days last weekend) but I can’t resist. It’s by far my favorite beverage and it is already making a strong comeback. Now if only my hands didn’t get so cold carrying it to the office…
Old Navy Rockstar Jeans
I bought these jeans last week and I’ve already worn them several times, including 10 hours of babysitting on Saturday. They are SO COMFORTABLE. I’m actually shocked by this because Old Navy jeans have never fit my body type correctly, but I tried these on and absolutely love them!
What have you been loving lately?
Where did you get your favorite pants/jeans from?
I am ALL about the iced coffee too! I ordered it all through Winter, hahahaha. I guess it helps that in California, it doesn’t get too cold!
I Just bought some coconut oil for myself! So much hype! I hope it lives up to everything everyone says!
I used to LOVE Starbucks iced coffee, but I stopped drinking caffeine regularly almost a year ago. They don’t have decaf iced coffee so I just get iced decaf americanos but it’s just not the same, haha.
Coconut oil really is delicious! I love it in my oats and smoothies 🙂 It’s great to spread on Ezekiel toast too (preferably the cinnamon raisin kind!) YUM! 🙂 Have you heard of oil pulling? I’ve wanted to try to use coconut oil for that!
Haha it is totally not warm enough for iced coffee in Ohio either but here I am drinking some 🙂 and boy oh boy is it delicious!
I love Starbucks iced coffees! And Josh would love that lego truck! haha He’s obsessed and says he can’t wait until we have kids one day so he can get legos and play with them. ;p
i just tried oil pulling and it worked wonders for me! I’m excited to use coconut oil in other ways and see what else this magic stuff can do!
and yes –its all about the iced coffee. chicago is teasing us by being warm enough to make iced beverages tempting but still just chilly enough to freeze our fingers!
Yes, I love iced coffee, too! As soon as it gets above 60 degrees, that’s my go-to order (well, iced decaf Americano now, which is close to the same thing, because of baby). I cook with coconut oil a lot and use it in smoothies and to make deodorant. I used to be into the oil-pulling and still think it helps a ton, but I unfortunately got lazy with it and fell off the wagon.
Another use for peppermint oil–it’s a great bug repellent! You kinda smell like toothpaste…BUT…so much better than smelling like bug spray when you’re going to an outdoor event. It was my go-to for the billion outdoor weddings I went to last summer.
