So now... on to my Happy Things post of the moment.
1. Dove Nutritive Therapy conditioner. - I find Dove a little "crunchier" than other mainstream brands and less likely to have some of the vile ingredients in many of them. On top of that, this conditioner when smoothed on my painful eczema areas is one of the only things that has helped in a long time. I don't have much choice many days on whether I wash my hair or not, but sometimes I can just rinse it and use this conditioner and voila! All good to go. It's got real oils in it (coconut being one) and I love.
2. Boy and Bear - Got hooked on their song Mexican Mavis a while back when I got it free from the South by Southwest iTunes sampler. When I looked up more of their work, I found that I love them! After Christmas I hope to buy more of their stuff. (psst... you can still get Mexican Mavis for free on their site!) Great Aussie band.
3. Ginger dressing - God it's delicious. And I just found a local company that makes some just as tasty as that you'd find at a Japanese restaurant. HEAVEN!
4. My new Kindle! I just got a Kindle Fire as a combo present, and I LOVE IT! It is fabulous. I wonder sometimes if the e-ink kindles would be easier on the eyes for reading, but so far it's doing pretty well for me.
5. Where the Mountain Meets the Moon - My first borrowed Library book on the Kindle. It is one of the best books I've read in a long time. I'm absolutely adoring it so far. Beautiful adolescent fantasy. Note that some reviews say that some oft he stories in it are already existing Chinese folktales.
6. Seeing holidays through a toddler's eyes.
7. Playing with Hub and E in the gorgeous, gorgeous Florida fall.
8. My Salvation Army Angel - Boy of 5 whose wish is simply, "Batman." Melt. (melted Hub too)
Happy Things Post
Remember when I used to write these? If you don't, no worries. It's been years. In any case, I want to start doing them again. They made me feel good. And that is 95% of the reason for this blog eh?
