Life's Little Luxuries

Life has certainly changed with an active baby boy in the mix of things. It seems like I now take pleasure in simpler things than I used to, which I guess isn't a bad a thing at all. I just thought I'd share these simple things that have increased the quality of my life :)

The first one still surprises me, it's peanut butter! Not regular peanut butter, but White Chocolate Wonderful peanut butter! Oh, and it is wonderful! As an adult I haven't really cared for peanut butter maybe since junior high. I ate a peanut butter sandwich for lunch almost every day in grade school when I would pack my own lunch. I just think I had my fill of peanut butter for a while, not necessarily an aversion. I found this stuff less than a month ago and I am now on my third jar!

 Mostly I eat it straight off of a spoon or spread it on a graham cracker. If I kept celery around I guess that would be a good idea too.

The second luxury I have recently discovered is a bath soak (not to be confused with bath salts). I usually shop at Bath and Body Works for their lotion, body sprays, sanitizers, and hand soaps. Shortly after Christmas I was reminded about the stress relief line of products from Bath and Body works when we stayed at a cabin with Bob's family over the holiday and the lady that owned it stocked the bathroom with some of stress relief  products. I guess she was trying to be conducive to a relaxing environment :) The next time I went to Bath and Body Works I checked out that section I had forgotten about and found a jar of bath soak and purchased it.

I was once told you are not supposed to put real bubble bath in a jetted tub. Is it true? I'm not sure, but I have been reluctant to put real bubble bath in my jetted tub, but I wanted something to use while taking a bath.Oh my goodness, this is the product! I use my jetted tub more frequently now that I have this. If you know someone who claims they don't use their jetted tub, it's because they don't know about this product :)

It is completely relaxing and the eucalyptus and spearmint fragrance is intoxicating. Running the jets also enhances the experience. Notice the picture is a full bottle, that is because it is on stand by for when my current bottle becomes empty, which will be very soon.

Those are just two of my new favorite discoveries from this year. Enjoy!
