A Few of My February Favorite Things

I haven't posted at all really this month, but I did want to share my favorites. I also have one thing that I really hated this month that I'll share as well. Also, if you are interested in my beauty favorites, they are right over here.

My Favorite Movie

I saw Perks of Being a Wallflower when it came to the theater here in December. This month, it came out on DVD. I had actually been nervous about this movie when it came out. I read the book in 1999 when it was published, but I was a teen then. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about it now... but I loved it. Even now, I feel like I can understand Charlie and his feelings.

Weight Loss Wednesday: Judgement from Wii Fit

I've been super lazy over the last month... I haven't been cooking or doing much of anything because I've been feeling really cold lately.

Today's the day, though. I'm going to get back on track. I've used my points tracker for the first time in almost a month. I also hooked up my Wii again and did some Wii Fit. I haven't used Wii Fit in a long time and it didn't hesitate to remind me.

A Few of My January Favorite Things

I do a monthly favorites post of makeup and beauty products (when I have them) on my makeup/beauty blog but I have a lot of favorite things that are not makeup related. I decided to do that here.

My Favorite Song

I honestly never thought that I'd say this, but my favorite song of the month is by Taylor Swift- I Knew You Were Trouble. I first heard it on a talk radio show when they played a clip of it before their segment and I really liked it.

The Horror of Shredding

I am terrible at taking care of mail that needs to be shredded. I have at least one full box and several stacks that need to be shredded. Today, because I'm ADD when it comes to organizing and have yet to finish one thing I've started thus far, I decided that it was time to tackle two small stacks (only a fraction of what I have) of mail instead of finishing my kitchen.

Weight Loss Wednesday: Zero Point Smoothie

I found this pin for a strawberry banana slushie sometime last month and I have been obsessed with it. For me it hasn't been as much of a slushie as a smoothie because I don't use the ice. I use a Magic Bullet for single serving drinks and I don't find that it does a good job with ice. It does need something frozen, though. So here is my modified version... though I don't really measure exactly.

A Banana, cut up
Frozen Strawberries, a handful
Diet Citrus Soda like Sprite or 7-UP, about half a can

Blend together until smooth.

I've tried both Sprite and 7-UP. Personally, I liked the 7-UP better because it had a more citrus-y flavor than Sprite.

Kitchen Clean Up Part 1

I decided it was finally time to tackle my kitchen. Like most of what I have, much of my stuff in the kitchen consisted of hand-me-downs from both my parents and my husband's parents. I bought a few things on my own and I've been getting more small appliances as I've started cooking more. So, it was time to clear out what I no longer needed. I'm only a fraction of the way through and I suspect it will take several more days until I get it done.

My Cluttered Kitchen

Fun Old Stuff in the Closet

I went through one of my many closets today. It's closet 7 out of 10, but the 3rd one where I have to get rid of most of the stuff and find a place to put it all until I can have a yard sale. This closet, though, had a bunch of stuff from the 70's, 80's and early 90's and I thought it was kind of fun things I haven't seen in at least 15 years.

 My cat's excited to get into the closet.

 Stuff

 Parts of an old stereo system

 More stuff

 70s art

 An electric typewriter. I know I used this in the early 90s.

 A Clue VHS game from 1985

 3 Space Bags full of pillows that my mom collected in the mid 90s

 Old cowboy hats

 Cassettes

 A Bath and Body Works sample set from the 90s

More 70's art

And, finally, the empty closet
