My Favorite Things – Spring 2014 edition

By: Dana Michele

I LOVE talking about products I love. I’m pretty picky so when I find something I love it makes me very happy.

Sanuk Flip Flops
– comfortable shoes are very important to me. I’ve also had problems with plantar fasciitis for years and it flares up if I don’t wear supportive shoes. Living in Arizona and with a house with slate tile floors, I wear flip flops a lot so its important for me to find ones that don’t make my feet hurt. The Sanuk flip flops are amazing.

Pure Barre – I’ve never been much of an exerciser. Tried a few things over the years and haven’t ever stuck with anything for a long time. My favorites have been yoga or lifting weights. After losing 50 pounds and when you’re over 40, I needed to work on toning up. I decided to give a barre fitness class a try and I LOVE it. I’ve been doing 3 classes a week for over a month now and its amazing the changes I’ve already noticed.

How I've spent my mornings for the last weeks and loving it! #purebarre #purebarrescottsdale #gettingfit 

iPad Air– I’ve had a first generation iPad for a few years now and always loved it more than I ever thought I would. My husband upgraded me to the iPad Air for my birthday and I love it even more. Its so thin I can carry it in my purse. I mostly use it for TV and movie viewing (netflex, abc app, nbc app) and reading books with the Kindle app.

Coach purse – I’m pretty loyal to a purse once I find one and will use it for several years. I was feeling it was time for a new purse hoping for something perfect for spring and summer so I headed to our local Coach Outlet. I love the purse I found – perfect size, perfect color and perfect inside organization with two large sections and a center zipped pouch. And an awesome deal since it was at the outlet and they were having a great sale.

Tazo Iced Passion Tea
 – I’m relatively new to drinking tea and it took me awhile to find teas I like. I don’t like black tea and can’t stand any tea that has been sweetened. I drink mostly white and green teas and this time of the year they’re iced. I first had the Tazo Iced Passoin at Starbucks and was excited to learn this is the same tea and I can make it at home.

Anthropologie Latte Bowls – love. The bright colors just make me smile. I use them for breakfast or dessert. And they bright colors make fun serving dishes for Taco Tuesday.

 

Taco Tuesday - my son's favorite meal of the week. Beef tacos tonight - homemade seasoning (super easy) and freezer cooking (I always triple my batch and freeze extras) for a quick and healthy dinner #tacotuesday #freezercooking
