Things I am Loving Lately...

Linking up with the Let's Be Friends Blog Hop with Southern Beauty Guide.

This is definitely a random assortment of items and definitely less than glamorous; however, these are some rather practical items that keep me going during the day. I especially love the Zella leggings and Sarah Potempa half-up bun tool.

True North Almond Pecan Cashew Clusters - I am OBSESSED with these! Sorry, I could not find a picture to post them on Polyvore.  Not only are they really healthy and packed with protein {170 calories for 5 clusters and 5 grams of protein}; but they are delicious. I love to have them as an afternoon snack at work with a Cafe Americano from Starbucks. Makes the work day a little more enjoyable. I have bought them on Amazon.com in the past, however you can also find them at Sam's Club and BJ's Wholsale Club.

Vaseline Cocoa Radiant Body Moisturizer - I unfortunately do not get a lot of time in the sun during the summer, thus I generally use Jergen's Natural Glow Lotion on my legs during the spring and summer so I do not look too pasty.  Unfortunately, using just the Jergen's lotion causes major streaking in the color on my legs. To help combat the streaking, I have discovered that if I mix this Vaseline moisturizer with the Jergen's lotion; I seem to avoid the crazy streaking colors on my legs. This stuff is also super moisturizing!
 

Zella 'Live In' Reversible Leggings - I found these at Nordstrom and I have two pairs {probably going on five...ha}! These are some of the most flattering leggings I have ever owned. I believe they are meant for working out; however, I plan on pairing them with boots and other casual outfits as well this fall. They are currently on sale at Nordstrom for $33.90 and they are worth every penny!
 

Green Mountain Nantucket Blend Coffee K-Cups - I love these k-cups; however my absolute favorite K-Cups are the Green Mountain Coffee Focus Blend and Defend Blend. I could not find a picture on Polyvore, so I settled for my third favorite K-Cup,  Nantucket Green Mountain Coffee K-Cups. Maybe it is just in my head, but the Focus Blend really seems to help me focus just a little bit more at work and the Defend blend has vitamin C and E in it; it can't hurt, right!?
 

Sarah Potempa Half-Up Bun Tool -  I started with the full 'Wrap-Up'; however my favorite is this 'Half-Up,' that I use for a low bun. I love this look for work and it is great for second day hair!

Caffe Americano ,  Cafe Misto , and Teavana Oprah Chai Tea Latte from Starbucks - Don't get me wrong, I am well versed in Starbucks. Well, I thought I was until recently. Maybe I was just behind, but I just discovered these drinks at Starbucks recently and I am hooked. I love all of these and unfortunately have started a bad habit of wanting one of these around 3pm EVERY DAY. Eeek....I must stop!
