Still busy with my 4 month-old, a.k.a. Master of The House, and loving every second of it. He's growing like a weed and is now approximately the size of the average 7 month-old...thanks to my dad's paul bunyan-ness passed on to my son. I'm busy, but not too busy to stop by to tell y'all what I'm loving at the moment...
Clinique 7 Day Scrub-
After the first use, you'll want to call it 365 day scrub. I followed the directions on my face and neck the first day and sneaked it onto my arms, chest, knees and elbows every day after that. What I'm about to say is so cliche, but I actually have a baby's bottom to compare my skin to, so--whatever body part you use this on will be as soft as a baby's bottom...really.
Horizon's Organic Skim Milk- I drink a lot of milk. Like, 1.5 gallons a week. I switched to organic a few months ago to avoid hormone O.D. and love their skim milk. It's the most un-skimmy skim milk. It's not watery at all. It looks and tastes like 2%.
Lip Smacker's Strawberry Lip Gloss-I know I'm not in 8th grade anymore, but this gloss makes me feel right youthful. I bought a 3-pack of this gloss about a month ago from Target and replaced the Strawberry Chapstick in my purse, diaper bag and makeup bag. Of all the fancy lip glosses I have from Benefit, Stilla, Nars and drugstore brands, the Lip Smacker gloss is my favorite everyday gloss for summer.
IHOP Carrot Cake Pancakes- Um. Yeah. Carrot. Cake. Pancakes. Mhm.We went to IHOP last Friday for dinner and I handled a 4-stack with scrambled eggs. I'm not even a pancake person, but I couldn't pass on those. It's not right how good they are. The hotcakes are still on my mind real hard.
My Stone Mountain hobo- After lip glosses, handbags are my favorite accessories. I have a handful that I haven't even use yet. I broke this bone hobo in on a recent trip home to Memphis and I plan to carry it all summer.It matches summer-colored clothes and fits my shades, clutch wallet and makeup bag perfectly. It's also just big/small enough for me to carry along with my black diaper bag and not look like a bag lady.
The Djembabes (www.djembabes.com/)- They're a local group of amazing female singers, dancers and drummers, who perform African folksongs with such passion ad skill. We took Zack to see them perform a couple of weeks ago. There's something about the sound of African drums--the hips and shoulders move involuntarily to the beat.
Baby Einstein Classical Lullaby CD- This was a gift and it keeps on giving. Bedtime and night nursing are so pleasant around here and I'm convinced it's because of Baby Mozart.
L'Occtain Lavender Hand Lotion- It's so rich and smells so heavenly and the package is so shiny. I feel like such a girl every time I use it. Bonus: I can't use scented products on my son's sensitive skin, but I think he gets the calming benefits of lavender when I use it before nursing him or putting him to sleep.
My Boppy- The single best airplane carry-on when traveling with an infant. Two trips down and one more long one planned. My son nurses and sleeps peacefully in flight thanks to this thing. With my boppy-sized tote bag in tow, I don't fear being the passenger with the crying baby. Unfortunately, all the nursing and sleeping facilitates pooping which is actually not so much fun in flight.
Stella Perfume by Stella McCartney- It's so sophisticated.
