February Favorites 2013

At the end of every month I'll be writing a favorites post. It could be about anything from new foods, movies I've seen, restaurants I've tried, make up, hair products or something I've bought for the kids. Anything that I'm loving and would really want to share!

Second Cup - Latte Tuesday's
This month I found out while going for coffee with a friend that Second cup sells any medium latte for $2.95 on Tuesday's. Which is a bonus when it's almost regularly $5. I'm really loving the Honey Vanilla Tea Latte. If you get it made with non fat milk and no whip it's only 160 calories.


Oikos Greek Yogurt
A few months ago a friend of mine got me hooked on the Honey Greek Yogurt. It's still my all time favorite. I didn't even want to try any other kind because I loved it so much. Last week my husband brought home the Coconut Greek Yogurt and it was delicious. I recommend you give it a try. The honey is only 100 calories a serving and the coconut is 80 calories.





Laughing Cow Cheese
Before I realized how many calories were in cheese my family ate A LOT of brick cheese. The last 6 months we have almost cut it out completely unless a small amount is needed in a meal. So there goes my love for cheese and crackers. I picked up the Laughing Cow Light Cheese wedges. It's kind of like cream cheese. I use it to spread on or scoop on my crackers. It's only 25 calories a wedge. It's really good and there are also different flavours you can get.




Jessie Blair Jewelry
I got a beautiful bracelet from my friend as an early birthday present. She owns a small jewelery business which she sells off of etsy and ebay. It is a black faux leather Chien de Collier inspired bracelet. I absolutely love it. There are various colours available and it also had an adjustable strap with 4 different sizes. The picture below shows the front and back of the bracelet. This bracelet is priced at $25. You can also purchase it through her facebook page or on ebay.  She is always getting in new items. I love how most of her items are very unique. Later this month I'll be writing a full post on all the jewelry I have gotten from her and what she has available. Until I do if you would like to check out her stuff on facebook click here and don't forget to LIKE the page. Or to check out her ebay page click here.




Flower Clips from Ebay 
I was looking around in stores for flower clips to put on a headband for my daughter. I wanted to get a variety of colours but found that individually they were $1-$3 each and since a wanted a bunch I knew that could get very pricey. I went on ebay and looked up small flower clip lots. I was able to get 14 clips in a variety of colours for only $6 with free shipping. The picture below shows most of the flower clips I received. I also made the clip holder they are on but we'll save that for another post.
