Five Favorites
May 23
Often a topic for a Friday. But I thought I’d try something different and shoot for a Wednesday. That’s not true at all. I just aimed for Friday and missed and here we are on a Wednesday!
Carry on, shall we?
Prefer: to choose or like better than another
Preference: a greater liking for one alternative over another.
Years ago, Hallie Lord had a weekly post that I loved. I believe it was called Five Favorites and that it was usually in the middle of the week. There were no rules – just favorites. Favorite foods, recipe, things to do, moments, beauty products and the list goes on. On her Favorite things blog, Laura Tremaine, said that she enjoyed these types of blogs and posts because they were another way to learn a little bit about others. While I do love a dose of retail therapy, I enjoy a unique look and learning about others that I follow as well.
Five Favorites: What I Hope to make a Wednesday tradition.
1. I love something unexpected in a home. I love them for a lot of different reasons. Here are a few.

2. Brown sugar cream cheese fruit dip. This was a recent rediscovery when a coworker mentioned it. Delicious. We’ve only had it with apples, but I do think pretzels or graham cracker sticks? (Is that what they are called? Bites?) would be very good, too.
3. Date nights on a Tuesday. Or a Wednesday. These are arguably ordinary days of the week. Having something to look forward to like a dinner out, or a movie in the middle of the week is pretty great. It is also a perfect time to try out a new restaurant that usually has long wait times on a weekend.
4. Onesies for puppies after surgery. This is our petite pup after surgery last week. The vet assured us that female dogs rarely bother wounds. I agree. But Mabel here is not one for following the mold.
5. Eye brightener pencils from Thrive. I try different products now and again. But I lose interest fairly quickly. I am not committed enough to do doing something every day, so I don’t often find myself ordering the same thing twice. Except this. I love this product. It is so easy to use and I really like the way it brightens my tired eyes with very little effort.
I hope you enjoy!
Until next time,
Jennifer
