New good things – 8/1 edition


Might I remind you that these products aren’t new in the world, just new to me.

Women’s Health Magazine

I gave my BIL a subscription to Men’s Health for Christmas and then he moved in with us 2 months later. Once the issues started coming to the house, i found myself utterly intrigued by the sheer amount of info found in this publication. It’s loaded with stuff about eating well, exercising, and general facts, which I love. So, while perusing B&N the other night, I dabbled in the Women’s Health to find it similarly fascinating. I think Ash got me a subscription to this already but neither of us can remember. I certainly hope so!

Starbucks Vivanno Smoothie – Orange Mango Banana

This is Starbucks’ attempt at being healthier, I suppose. They combine milk, ice, protein and fiber powders with the Naked juice and blend well. Well, this blend did not do well by me. The mango was too prpnounced and finished on a tangy yet acidic sort of note. I was overall not impressed. However, they had some samples of the Chocolate Banana and that one, in the small sip I had, seemed a lot better. Still, I don’t see myself ordering this very often. I’ll stick to my tall non-fat vanilla latte.

Clorox Anywhere Hard Surface Spray

I had been looking for a disinfectant for Elliot’s high chair tray and this is what I ended up with. It doesn’t smell too bleachy and claims to be safe for use around food and kids. Which is good since he’s a kid who eats. Amazing! I like this spray a whole lot better than anything Lysol makes, where – despite their claims – I don’t feel like 99.9% of bacteria is being killed.

Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay

Ash and I watched this last night and I went into it hoping for funnier than the first, which I found to be surprisingly entertaining in a juvenile and ridiculous way. (And we got to ride a cheetah..) Anyway, the sequel didn’t disappoint. Surely to the two funniest parts were when they were in prison and the reprise of NPH’s role as a shroom eating “poon handler” as he likes to refer to himself. I cracked up at numerous parts because the whole thing was just stupid. And sometimes stupid is good.

That’s all for now. I know there’s more but I’m about to go to class and I am SO ready to be done with this week. What have you bought/tried/watched lately that was awesome??
