What I loved in October

The past month was chock-full of product suggestions from friends. Here are a few that have become staples in my life already:

I was lucky enough to lots of face time with Paula over the last two weeks, and of course, that meant sharing our fave items that get us through the day [besides wine!].

  1. While at the Dollarama checkout counter, my eyes caught sight of a Reese Bar. Now, being a huge fan of chocolate and peanut butter, it was hard to look away, but I did...until a voice behind me said, "Have you tried these? Mmmm, they're so good!" [I never said she was a good influence!] And yes, it was! I ate the bar over the course of almost a week, savouring each little piece while reading in bed. I'm glad this is a limited edition, though I may just have to make a Dollarama run soon, before they run out!

  2. Being moms, Paula and I are always looking for new and exciting snacks for our kids, who seem to get bored of anything we buy in bulk. [You liked it last week, which is why I stocked up this week!] On a short grocery store trip [read: Indio was with us, thus the shortness of the trip], Paula pointed out Voortman's Ginger Kids packed with *whole wheat goodness*. I just had to pick up a pack for Indio. Funny thing is, I think he's had one cookie so far while they've become a complement to my evening cup of tea. Hey, they're good for me! It says so right on the package!

  3. Since having Indio, my hair has become more curly/wavy. No really, I'm serious! Of course, the wonderful combo of only knowing how to style my hair straight and not having enough time to do such styling, I've been looking like a hot, frizzy mess most days. Nooreen, my go-to makeup and hair gf [she did my wedding makeup!] continues to put up my with constant badgering of how to get my hair to look like hers. Her new fave curly products have become my new faves too! Pantene's Curly Hair Series are a product-phobe's dream! The Curl Enhancing Spray Gel and Satin Hold Hairspray don't make my hair crunchy and I can apply them over and over again for a few days without my hair looking greasy. If I was organized enough I would even show you a pic of what my hair looks like today, day #3 since washing it.

I am in awe of you that you made that Reeses last a week. There is no doubt that I would have downed it in 2 minutes flat. I have no self control when it comes to candy . . . which is why I rarely buy it (except on those days when it's necessary to kind of binge on chocolate). Also, I am sure your hair looks lovely, but the Brazilian blowout has changed my life. One treatment and your hair is completely frizzless for 3-4 months!

@claire, most of the time, chocolate doesn't last that long, but since this was limited edition, i didn't know when i'd get my hands on it again! i'd love to splurge for the brazilian blowout one day...for now, i'm trying really hard to embrace the waves.

Hi Sheba : D
New Follower! You are so right about our kids getting sick of eating the same thing for more then a week. I would go to Costco and buy bulk items for my Migueltio and than Blah! I don't want anymore, I've somewhat learned my lesson : D The cookies do look yummy and they are good for you -lol- Kary xo
