Monday Market #2

Well, it is another Monday, and here I am with another Etsy store recommendation! This week I am featuring an awesome Organic Spa: SpaGoddess!

I haven't purchased anything for SpaGoddess yet, but I have my eye on their Shower Steamers. Shower Steamers are balls of essential oils, perfect for an aromatic shower. They Shower Steamers come in four scents: Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Juicy Citrus, and Lavender.

I also love the Body Scrubs that SpaGoddess has to offer. For $12 you can get a sampler pack of 3! I think my three would be Enchanted Forest, Empress Vanilla, and Double Love!

Finally, Spa Goddess has an awesome sampler pack for $22. This is my top pick this week! The Spa Goddess Grab Bag is an great way to sample a bunch of different products for one low price. It reminds me of the Surprise Bags I used to buy at the corner store for $1... only better!

Now, my music recommendations for the day are "Love Your Love The Most" by Eric Church and "Who'll Stop The Rain" by Courtney Jaye (originally by CCR, but so much nicer by Courtney)

That is all for now. Happy Shopping!

Worst Blogger EVER!

Hello Followers!

I apologize for not posting all week. After my awesome introduction of the Monday Market feature, my brain fizzled and I had no clue what to say.

I am also going to admit that my reading of Pride and Prejudice has fizzled. I am still reading it, but my book recommendations/reviews might not be a weekly feature. So far, I am enjoying Pride and Prejudice and I am hoping to finish it by this time next week! So stay tuned for that.

I feel like this week has been a major fail. I worked Monday to make up for taking Sunday off, so I didn't get my Monday off. It totally threw my week off. I had to work 3 days in a row and I was over tired from not getting much sleep last weekend at my family holiday gathering. I had yesterday and today off, but I didn't get anything done that I wanted to - except laundry. I didn't get my tree up; I didn't get my Christmas shopping done; I didn't get my Christmas lights out; I didn't do any of the cleaning I needed to do; I didn't get groceries. But, I am pushing all that stuff to Monday/Tuesday. For a change of pace, I have Tuesday off this week and I am working Thursday. So, I only have to work 2 days then I get 2 more days off.

Also, I realized that I haven't been keeping up with my music recs, so here we go (with a few extra for good measure):

"People Are Crazy" by Billy Currington

"Fireflies" by Owl City

"Free To Be Me" by Francesca Battistelli

"Wild at Heart" by Gloriana

What is everyone's plans for the weekend?

Chocolate and alcohol? Yes, please.

My 25th birthday was a few weeks ago and my loving husband spoiled me. One of the things he did was make me a lovely dinner with dessert. The dessert he made was this yummy mixed drink called "Chocolate Kiss". It was so yummy, that I am sharing the recipe with you all.

Chocolate Kiss
Ingredients:
1/2 ounce Creme de Cacao
1/2 ounce Frangelico liqueur
1/2 ounce vodka
6 ounces vanilla ice cream

Preparations:
Combine liquor with 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream, blend with ice and garnish with chocolate sprinkles.

Makes 1 Love Drink.

He found the recipe online on this website http://www.lovingyou.com/. It seems this site has all kinds of romantic recipes and tips. Definitely check it out.

So, since this post has a love theme, my song recommendations for today are "You and I" by Ingrid Michaelson and "Thing for You" by Jann Arden. Both are cute love songs that have special meaning for Rob and I. Enjoy!

P.S. Don't forget to vote in the poll for what you want to see on my blog! If there is anything else you want to see that isn't in the poll, please comment and let me know!

Cute commercial

So, I am tired from 2 long ass days working but I wanted to share one of my new favourite TV commercials with you. It is the new American Express one. I think it is so cute and clever.



Also, I hope you guys vote in my current poll about what you want to see on my blog. I am thinking that because my blog title is inspired by music, I will have song recommendations at the end of every post. So, today I am going to recommend "All of My Days" by Alexi Murdoch, from the film Away We Go and "Orange Sky" by Alexi Murdoch from the film Ladder 49. Both of these songs are lovely and Alexi has a great sound. Enjoy!

Sorry I was MIA all weekend

So, I work eleven hours a day, four days a week. I work Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday from 9am-8pm and when I get home I feel like doing nothing and vegging in front of the TV and hopefully eating dinner. So, I apologize for not blogging all weekend. But, I am so pumped about having this blog. I took pictures on the weekend to post on here.

First, here I am on Friday after buying new jeans (which I desperately needed) and I purse (which I really didn't need but desperately wanted). I am enjoying a coconut bubble tea with lychee jelly. Yum!

Here is my new purse. It is awesome for holding all the crap I take to work with me. The only thing that doesn't fit is my lunch bag...

And, because it is cleaning day, here are my top 3 "songs to clean to" of the day:

Kelly Clarkson - I do not hook up

Darius Rucker - Alright

Christina Aguilera - Figher

What songs get you moving when you just want to relax?
