March Favorites (Non-Beauty!)

by | Apr 2, 2013 | Throwback | 5 comments

Hi Guys!  I’m filming my March Beauty Favorites video today, but I also have a few non-beauty favorites that I want to share!  This list is kind of all over the place, so bare with me.

  • Shrimp Tacos: It’s been a weird obsession this month, and since there aren’t many restaurants here in BC, I threw together some very simple ingredients and boom: yummy shrimp tacos (small shrimp seasoned with Tony Chachere’s it’s spicy more spice sauteed until pink.  Toast up small tortillas for approx 4-6 minutes (you want them to still be flexible but with a little bite to them).  Toss the shrimp into the tortillas with lettuce, white queso (with jalapenos) sour cream if you want it, whatever taco toppings you like)!  Stupid simple–CRAZY fast and DEEEEEELISH!
  • Erin Condren Planner: While this thing is a beast and I wasn’t a huge fan when I was having to lug it back and forth to work–I’m loving it now that it gets to live on my desk.  It’s funny to me how much busier I am now then when I held a traditional job.  I probably won’t be ordering another when this one runs out in July (unless I find a sweet coupon code),  but I’m still loving it this month!
  • Lemon Chiffon Tart: (from walmart) this baby smells like a sweet lemon cookie baking!  It’s extremely strong, so it’s not one that you need to leave burning all day to keep the fragrance.  Yum!
  • Scoop Away Extra Strength Scented Litter: this is by far the strangest favorite I have–but if you’re a cat owner, you know how important good litter is.  I share my office/makeup room with the cat, so it was crazy important to find a good litter that clumped really well and absorbed odors.  While this is on the pricier side, it’s worth it to me because it lasts longer because of how well it clumps!
Happy April, people.  How the heck is it already April?
