Favorites for a Fall Friday

There’s a lot of items that I’ve been really into lately that I’ve been wanting to share with you guys. I know a lot of bloggers do a “Friday Favorites” type of thing so I thought I would jump on the bandwagon for this week. I don’t buy or use nearly enough stuff to do these frequently, but doing one every once in a while sounds fun!

1. Comfort Pal Travel Neck Pillow– Jason and I have been flying quite a bit lately so we both decided to get ourselves a travel pillow. We got different colors of this Comfort Pal pillow and I LOVE mine. How did it take me so many years to buy one of these?? It squishes down into a tiny travel bag and is soft as a cloud to sleep on.

2. Blue Diamond Almond Nut Thins– These are addictive and have a really basic, clean ingredient list. I keep a box in the car!

3. Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Spice Granola– I have to be honest and say that I’m actually not a fan of most TJ’s granolas. But I decided to give the Pumpkin Spice flavor a shot and it’s SOOOO good. Perfect amount of sweetness and a delicious fall flavor. I’ve been eating it for breakfast every morning with a little soy milk.

4. Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soap– This is an item that I’ve had around for years and I still love it. I dilute it and use it as the cleaning solution for pretty much everything in my entire house. It’s super concentrated and lasts forever so the price is definitely worth it! It’s totally natural and safe for when your curious dog licks whatever you just cleaned.

5. Solid Gold Small Breed Dog Food– Speaking of dogs, we just started Cynewulf on this new food about a month ago. He was getting bored of the food we were feeding so I went on the search for another brand of natural food. We are SO impressed with the positive results this food has had on his coat and digestion. He also loves the way it tastes, which of course is great.

6. Mayim’s Vegan Table– Someone suggested this cookbook to me so I went ahead and got it since the kindle version is so cheap. I’m really glad I did, I’m really enjoying it so far! I love the approach to veganism that they discuss (a lifestyle that isn’t realistic for everyone 24/7 but that everyone can and should incorporate into their lives in some way). I made the red cabbage salad last night with dinner and thought it was delicious.

7. Lush’s Sympathy for the Skin– Lush items can be a bit pricy but I took the plunge and bought this lotion from them a couple months ago. It’s made with all-natural ingredients like almond oil and organic bananas and it is officially my holy grail lotion. I need to get another container!

8. Angry Orchard Cinnful Apple– Apple pie in hard cider form. I’m obsessed. I won’t tell you how quickly I went through a 6-pack.

9. OXO Silicone Spatula Set– Jason got me this set for Christmas and OXO has also sent me a couple of the individual ones. I love them so much that I wonder exactly what I was using before? They are heat resistant which means I can easily go from combining ingredients together in a bowl to stirring them in the pot using the same great spatula. Jason will attest to the fact that at least one of these gets used in our kitchen every day.

I hope you guys enjoyed that! I always like reading other people’s reviews to get ideas so I’m hoping you do too. Have a fantastic weekend and I’ll see you for Soul Food Sunday!

  1. Wow, real bananas in body lotion? I bet it smells almost good enough to eat! Those OXO spatulas are the best. Picked up a couple at Marshalls a few weeks ago and use them all the time. Happy Friday!
