More Goodies and Such (Pictures)

My new BFF -- online shopping via Instagram influencing.  When I can't see anyone, can't do much outside the house ... Instagram to the rescue LOL.  From recipes to workouts to gadgets ... great ideas and often with a discount code.  I get a lot of book recommendations from podcasts and Instagram too.

Here are some of the latest.


New tea kettle from Crate and Barrel.  It's so pretty, pours beautifully and has a temperature gauge on the front.  Upgrade from my $20 Target one and I love it.

Keeping with the drink theme.  These are non-alcoholic spirits from SeedLip.  You can go on the website and see the differences in each variety and get mock-tail recipes ideas.  Candacemread on Instagram.  These aren't a direct substitute for any particular kind of alcohol, just something that gives the mouth feel of a cocktail.  She does mock-tail Mondays and has interesting products to try.  Stay tuned -- margarita this weekend.  (I thought it would be nice to have non-alcoholic options for me occasionally and for friends who don't drink ... if I can ever see friends again.)

Workout shorts from Amazon.  Wow -- love these.  High waisted, don't pinch at the bottom and incredibly deep front pockets for anything ... phone, dog treats, tissue, etc.

I got the large.

New cutting board and new clearance highball glasses.  I'm finishing up the oil and conditioning of the board today.  It's beautiful (Sur La Table) and the glasses are so nice to hold (Crate and Barrel).

A few more books on my list.  I'm going to finish The Giver of Stars and then start the Enneagram book along side How to be an Antiracist (Brene Brown's podcast with Ibram Kendi is fantastic!!).

Last, but not least.  A new workout shirt from Amazon.  I like the sleeveless for outside walking and it has more coverage than a tank.  It's cheap, long, stretchy.  Size Large.  Does the trick.
