Things that make me say ahhhhhhh

These days it's the smallest of things that make me feel pampered. Maybe it's just because I'm quite happy as of late, or maybe it's because I relish anything that can help take the focus – while only momentarily – away from my ever-expanding waistline. Actually, I don't think it'll ever be classified as a waistline again, but that's neither here nor there.

Below are my Top Five Things that Make Me Say AHHHHHHHH

#1: Tea light candles and yummy wax melts. I especially love when I have one burning and hubby comes home to exclaim, "Oh the house smells wonderful," as opposed to, "Oh, one of the cats must have just taken a $hit."

I buy my wax melts at A.C. Moore. They always have TONS of flavors. Things like Creme Brulee and Banana Nut Bread.

#2: Fresh orange slices. Something about them, aside from the sweet, ripe juiciness, makes me feel wholesome and refreshed. And unlike peaches, another love of mine, I've never bit into an off-tasting orange. They are always perfect.

#3: My Ped Egg. I'll try to spare you the details, but it's a little egg-shaped device that helps my feet feel very pretty. After I'm done using it, I slather on some Curel foot moisturizer and feel as if I've just left the spa.

#4: Skinny Cow Chocolate Truffle bars. Only 100 calories and absolutely divine.
I don't feel that additional explanation is necessary here.

#5: My favorite t-shirt. A good friend of mine gave this to me my freshman year in college. It belonged to her mom. I think it goes without saying that it has been laundered many times, leaving the fabric uber-soft and tissue-paper thin. It feels oh so good. I wear it as often as possible and I miss it during washings.
