Flash! Balance Bar has Three New Flavors

I got the "sweetest" (pun-intended) care package today from my mom via Fedex. Actually, it came from the Balance Bar Company. They sent her three new flavors of Balance Bars for me and my dorm-mates to try.

The new flavors are: Lemon Meringue Crunch, Double Chocolate Brownie and S'mores.

I'll let you know which one wins the "poll," but I can tell you now, that I already think my favorite will be Smores (and I wasn't even a campfire girl)!

This is great because I need energy since I stayed up to watch the Royal Wedding!

Have a great weekend,

Happy Easter, Etc.

If you're on the West Coast like me, I can still say "Happy Easter!" If you're on the East Coast, I'll say "Happy Monday!" :)

I only had one day off from school for Easter and that was Good Friday. I went to the Stations of the Cross service at my home church which was really nice. Even though it was nearly three hours long, I enjoyed every minute of it. I also went to Easter Service with my family today. It was nice being home even if it was just for a couple of days.

My mom didn't have any time off work so she didn't get to really make me an "Easter Basket." But, we went to Trader Joe's which happened to be open today and picked up some of my new favorite snacks for me to take back to school.

I'd like to share a couple of them with you. Number one - Trader Joe's Marcona Almonds with Rosemary. Can't describe them. You just have to try them for yourself. Number two - Hansen's Diet Pomegranate Soda.

Hop on over to Trader Joe's and put these in your basket.

I've got a big week ahead but I promise to check in before the week is up.

Kiehl's Creme de Corps Body Lotion

Two good things came out of my resolution to give up fried foods for Lent:

1. I have a little less body fat (I hope) for bikini season, and

2. I saved enough money on fast foods to buy myself a bottle of Kiehl's Crème de Corps Light Weight Body Lotion with SPF 30. I love everything by Kiehl's. The vanilla-scented lotion is actually my favorite, but I'm living in a warmer climate now and my skin is getting beat up by the sun. With this lotion, I'm protected.

It's 27.00 for a small bottle (8.4 ounces) but it's so good for protecting skin from the sun's harmful rays.

I love it. You can find it online at Kiehl's (which is where I do most of my shopping now) but it's also available in high-end stores like Neiman Marcus.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend. I'm heading out to read in the sun (with my Kiehl's Creme de Corps Body Lotion lathered on)!
