A few things I'm loving lately

I know as a self-proclaimed reality TV addict, I should have a detailed recap of last night's The Bachelor finale for you today.  But if you've noticed, I haven't blogged about this season at all because I quit watching after Courtney showed up in Ben's hotel room in a robe and proudly proclaimed that she had lotion in her pocket. No, just no.

1. Who does that?

2. If you are that big of a hussy, do you really want to wave your slore flag for all of America to see?

I couldn't handle this season. Ben was boring, Courtney was cray and quite frankly, I had far too many other shows to watch to waste two hours of my Monday on that mess. And by the looks of all the hate spewed about The Bachelor finale in Twitterland and on Facebook last night, I'm loving that I made the right choice by quitting this season.

Would you believe until last week I had NO IDEA who Erin Condren was?  If you are in the dark like I was, she sells ridiculously cute personalized items like stationary, gift tags and planners. I'm loving that I just ordered her famous "Life Planner" in this style, but in pink/green:

Lord knows I need all the help I can get with my "life plan", so maybe she is the woman for the job.  Admittedly, it's a little pricey for a planner ($50), but I got a coupon from Hautelook, which got me a $50 store credit for only $25.  That helped soften the blow and I'm really excited about this purchase of mine.  It really is the little things, y'all.

Another thing I'm loving is Baby Lips by Maybelline.  Santa actually brought me this in my stocking and I keep forgetting to tell you about how great this lip balm is.  This product legit gives you "baby soft" lips and as a bonus, has SPF 20 in it. Perfect for protecting your lips all Spring and Summer long!

Baby Lips come in tinted and non-tinted formulas and is around $3. I personally have the non-tinted version.

Um, Houston we have a problem.  Last night I downloaded the Pictionary-like phone app, "Draw Something".  Can we talk about the fact that I was up until past 1 a.m. playing fools on it?  #addicted

Some of my creations:

My friend is going to kill me, but please tell me what this looks like to you:

I can almost bet you didn't guess squirrel, but in fact, that is supposed to be a squirrel.

All righty, I'm outtie.  T minus 3.5 days until freedom!

    How did you miss the Erin Condren insanity of last summer?! LOL I almost never use my planner (I'm more of a techie girl), but I do like it. Tape up those tabs though bc they fray like a mo fo. Let's play draw something, I'm stellar. Dayoldnews

    I stopped watching this season too. I just couldn't get over the fact that I really really wanted to reach through the tv and punch Ben and especially Courtney!

    I've been meaning to pick up that baby lips stuff. Is it just like regular chapstick in a way?

    I totally agree about the bachelor. I thought that ben was kind of a push over and courtney was just ridiculous. :/

    PLAY ME!!! I have been taking screen shots of some of my more awesome drawings just so I can show them off on my blog. I think you have to find me by my email (kieferclaire@gmail.com) or we can become fb friends. I'm most proud of my Tupac drawing, although my "snorkel" was pretty good as well . . .

    The Bachelor was a WRECK and I'm so glad we can put this season behind us (though I did, admittedly, watch the whole thing).

    I've been hemming and hawing about one of those EC life planners, and I wanna hear all about yours after you get it. I may have bitten the bullet if I'd seen that coupon!

    xoxo

    I have that planner and LOVE it! Make sure you tape (I used simple packing tape and scissors) the month tabs, otherwise they bend and end up splitting really easily!

    Agh yes I love Baby Lips. I have every single "flavor".

    I need that app too. Everyone is talking about it. Too bad my kid changed my itunes password & I need my old debit card number attached to my account to change it back. F-A-I-L

    Just bought myself 2 Baby Lips in one week. I'm completely obsessed. Have the grape and peach. Would have bought more but all they had left was peppermint and I'm not a peppermint fan. Those things are sold out all over

    I just discovered EC about a month ago. Her stuff is SO cute, but I haven't bought anything yet bc you're right.. it's a bit pricey for what you get. Maybe I'll treat myself for my upcoming bday ;)

    I'll have to get some fo that baby lips, I always like to get the chapstick w/ SPF for summer especially!!

    The only thing better than ordering your planner is getting it and trying to decide what color pen to write your appts in! Or, maybe that's me. Either way, you're welcome haha.

    Never tried that lip stuff. Making mental note.

    Can you write a "best burgers of Dallas" post for me one day so I can print it and hit up all the places one weekend. Don't think I can't. And def don't think I won't.

    I love the drawing game on my iPhone! I had to draw Arnold so I drew Arnold from Hey Arnold! My friend said she got it as soon as I drew a football head and some yellow hair.
