These are a Few of My Favorite Things

1. POTATOES
That dirty brown lumpy thing above is the most delightful and versatile root crop our good Lord has created.. well at least for me it is. I just love potatoes! It's a goes great with most everything because it's such an empty canvas. you can fry 'em, stew 'em, boil 'em, bake 'em, mash 'em, casserole 'em, make 'em into flour, it goes great with gravy, ketchup, salt and pepper, and it's even made into art.. its such a useful and tasty thing! 
2. ROASTED EEL/ UNAGI
At first the thought of eating eel was stomach turning. My dad had bought an eel as an addition to our home aquarium before and it was definitely not one of the cutest creatures there. It's a good thing though that I discovered that roasted eel tastes wonderful after having had a taste of it in a Japanese restaurant. Unagi goodness! For ordinary days though canned roasted eel is just as good. It's melt-in-your-mouth sweetly scrumptious and best of all it has none of them pesky fish bones! ^^,

3. NERDS - GRAPE & STRAWBERRY FLAVOR

The grape and strawberry flavored nerds are a kid's best friend. As a kid I've always loved the sweet sour taste of the little yummy creatures, added novelty of the packaging with the candy illustrated as mini martian creatures w/ eyes and capes, plus the thought that you were sending them to their doom into the carvernous pit of your stomach! I'd make sure to take turns in eating flavor first, then I would mix things up and eat them both at the same time. Just the sound of the candy drumming around in the box as you shake the little guys out is a treat in itself.  (Haha, I sound like a kook!)


4. Andes - Chocolate Mint Thins 
My grandpa was the one to introduce me to these delightful delectables. These mint chocolates I find, are a great after dinner treat and as it was not often our grandpa would come over, this was a rare treat at that. The cool of the mint just blends so effortlessly with the creamy milk chocolate. Mmmm..


5. Trolli - Brite Crawlers
I just love the sour tangy taste of these chewy bright worms. They're colors are just so vibrant which makes them fun to eat. I especially love the combination of the red and blue worms. For some reason I imagine it turns to violet or purple when it's mashed inside my mouth as I chew them. :p

6. Pond's - White Beauty Detox

Pond's white beauty cream was recommended to me by my college classmate and I've been hooked ever since. It really works on my skin.  It even works great as a substitute for face powder or foundation. It's small size and many uses makes it a staple in my "kikay" (makeup) kit.



6. Diandra - Perfume
  • A fragrance of timeless elegance
  • Sandalwood and Moss are sweetened with Vanilla and
  • Warm Amber, Fruit, Spices and Exotic Woods
  • Middle notes of Orange Flower, Jasmine, Hyacinth a
  • An unforgettable perfume, like a summer garden
  • Make a beautiful impression with the timeless scent of Diandra Perfume. With Lily of the Valley, Orange Blossom, and Green Rose Leaves, this delicate, floral fragrance is a delicious blend of innocence and sensuality vivacious, fresh, and forever feminine.
I had found this bottle of perfume by chance at home. I don't really know whos it was or where it was found. When I tried it on I fell in love with it's rich but light aroma it was like a fruit medley, not too sweet which was just right for me. Sad to say I had lost the bottle when I absentmindedly left my "kikay" (makeup) kit at church. It's now gone to meet up with the treasure trove of countless other things I have missplaced or lost. My dilema now is where can I purchase another bottle like it since I don't even know where it's from.. TT


7. So Soft - Wet Wipes


So Soft Wet Wipes Don't have a pic for this yet. These are just great to have around. Use them for wiping tables, for when there no water around to wash your hands, and it's gentle enough to wipe your face with. With it's durable packaging it with stands the extreme conditions of being carried around.


And these are my favorite things for now. :)

P.S. I'd love to know where you can purchase a bottle of Diandra perfume and how much it costs now. Just leave me a link or message below. Thanks in advance!
