New Favorites

30 Apr

Hey everyone! Congrats on getting one day done. Four more to go! The kids were saying today that there are only 28 days left to go & only 2 more full weeks. Time to get the countdown started. :-)

Tonight I wanted to share some new products that I’ve been loving!

#1 – My new sneakers

(source)

After work (& catching up on last night’s episode of “Real Housewives of New Jersey”!) I headed out for my first run since earlier this month.

I hadn’t been running because being outside any longer than necessary was causing my allergies to act up. However, we got some rain last week & things have been better, so I figured it was safe to venture out.

Since I just purchased my new sneakers on Friday, I thought this would be the perfect occasion to break them in! I could definitely tell the difference between these & my old, beat-up gym sneakers. Even though the run overall wasn’t all that pretty, the sneakers definitely helped to make everything a bit more comfortable.

#2 – International Delight Coldstone coffee creamer

I know, I know… these coffee creamers have a plethora of weird ingredients, but I just couldn’t resist! Have you seen the commercial for this product? A girl walks into Coldstone with her face pressed up against the ice cream case! I totally fell victim to marketing here because I’m pretty sure I was (& still am!) that girl; I just had to try it.

I added a splash of this creamer to my Starbuck’s breakfast blend this morning & I was pleasantly surprised. While I expected it to be good, I was worried it would be a little too sugary. Definitely not the case! While I don’t plan on using this every morning, it’ll be a nice “treat” every now & then.

#3 – Bare Naked fruit & nut cookies

While I usually try to stick to my grocery list, I picked up these cookies on a whim yesterday & I’m so happy I did.

They really taste just like fresh-baked cookies, & I love that you can see the dried fruit & nut pieces. Chris really liked these too, so they’re even man-approved! ;-)

The only downside? There are only 8 cookies per box. I don’t foresee them lasting too long!

What are some new products that you’re loving lately?

    I love the chocolate bear naked cookies! They are a bit pricey though. I think I’m going to try to recreate them at home :)

    My kids (and I!) are counting down too! We are looking at 18 days…and seriously, I’m not sure they can go fast enough :) Those cookies look fantastic! I love finding natural products on a whim.

    Love the new sneakers – they are really cute! I’m a sucker for Coffee Mate creamer too…I know it’s full of junk but I love it! I’m currently addicted to the Peppermint Mocha variety – they sell it at Target year-round and it reminds me of a Starbucks Peppermint Mocha : )

      Mmm I haven’t thought about peppermint mocha in a while!

    I’m a sucker for flavored coffee creamers, so I’m sure I’d love the Cold Stone kind. Right now, I’m loving my foam roller and Chobani’s blood orange Greek yogurt.

      I love the blood orange flavor too!

    That coffee creamer looks delicious! I normally use the “natural” sweet cream or vanilla creamer because I like the ingredient list, but I definitely stand longingly at the coffee creamer refridgerator at the store looking at all the yummy looking flavors!

      I usually get the “natural bliss” kind by Coffeemate (I think?) but I just couldn’t resist!

    I have seen the cold stone creamer commercial and wondered how it tastes! I usually drink my coffee black or with a small splash of milk, but I agree about having a treat now and then! Your shoes are adorable!

    I have been loving different coffee creamers lately. I just wish they carried holiday flavros all year long!

    Oh gosh, I haven’t caught up on Real Housewives in so long – I feel like I’ve lost my connection with those women :-) I need to get on that, stat!

    I didn’t try almond milk until just recently and I have been obsessed with it lately!
