Recent Guilty Pleasures


I have discovered a couple of guilty little pleasures over the last several weeks that have brought a smile to my face.


(1)  This impulse 'toss in the cart' amazing dark chocolate and almond snacking chocolate is divine.  It tempts me to take a little piece every time that I open the fridge...

(2)  American Greetings' Instant Laughs birthday cards.  I stocked up on cards for all the approaching Fall birthdays and discovered this card company also has a blog.  Awesome.  Stationary is my biggest weakness - fancy, fun, inventive, traditional - I love it all.  I also save every wedding invitation, moving announcement, new baby card that I have received.  Sometimes I have a hard time sending a card if I have grown too attached to it (lame, but the truth).  I have even had some of my favorite hand-drawn cards framed.

(3) Hart of Dixie.  I love this show.  I started watching it on Netflix after I exhausted all the seasons of Scandal and wanted something a bit more lighthearted to unwind with after a busy day.  It is perfect for this purpose!  I get sucked in to an episode and then have to watch another and another.  In honesty, the supporting casts' acting skills have impressed me a bit more than the central actor's.  Jamie King (Lemon Breeland) is especially fabulous and I love her wardrobe.  Every outfit is a return to the fifties.
