Re-purpose Dryer Sheets

Here's a simple way to re-purpose dryer sheets... Real Simple suggests giving your shower door a wipe down with a new or used dryer sheet after use to keep soap scum from building up. I don't think it's practical to do this everyday (not to mention you'd be drying an awful lot of clothes!), but why not give your dryer sheets another purpose before tossing them?

Chocolate Bunnies


Easter's on it's way and Hershey's has a new chocolate bunny, Snapsy, that puts an end to an old problem. Think about it... there's a delicious, smooth, hollow, chocolate rabbit in your Easter basket, but as soon as you take so much as a nibble off of his ear... the whole thing crumbles. Or a nice solid chocolate bunny is waiting for you, but you nearly chip a tooth trying to get a morsel. Enter Hershey's new creation, Snapsy. Snapsy has scored marks so that you can effortlessly break off snack-size pieces. Genius!

It's Better to Look Good Than to Feel Good...

I absolutely love my pair of black patent leather stilettos! They might be somewhat impractical for everyday wear, but they come out of their little box on occasion. The Richmond-Times Dispatch had an article today saying many of the products on the market that promise to make high heels more comfortable, offered little support. I stick with my go to Band Aid Blister Block Friction Stick (right) to prevent blisters. The article recommended picking heels that are 3 inches or less and not wearing them everyday. However... if there's a cute pair of heels calling my name, I'll listen!

Ready for a Vacation??

Now that Spring has officially arrived, it's hard to believe that Summer is just around the corner. Self Magazine noted the research done at Tilburg University, finding that planning a trip causes people to feel a swell of excitement (even if it's still months away). So put that vacay on your calendar and start building some anticipation, all while brightening your mood!

Cake Pops

I'm not sure why I haven't already discovered these, but Starbucks has these new "cake pops". They caught my eye while visiting tonight.

Coming in 3 different flavors (Birthday Cake, Rocky Road, and Tiramisu), they'll only set you back 170 calories each, but are surprising indulgent. It's like eating cake on a stick! I think they're 2 for $2.50, but I'm not positive because Jason treated! We got the Birthday Cake Pops and they come in these fun little individual boxes. The chocolate is smooth and the inside is kinda soft, but the combo compliments each other well. Just don't get too carried away... there is a stick inside after all.

Peeps!

Who knew that Peeps could be more entertaining that just going a tad too long in the microwave?? The Washington Post hosts an annual Peep Diorama Contest. The deadline just past for entries this year, but you can view some of last year's top selections. Apparently some people take their Peeps very seriously!
