oh, hello friend.



CUTEST products I found on etsy! The seller is oh, hello friend, which has to be the most adorable seller name on the planet. All her items just make me happy. They’re all so delicate and vintage. Just love, that’s all.

Wave.

This is an absolutely gorgeous book! It’s a wordless picture book all about a little girl’s day at the beach. The art is incredible, with gray and white pictures and the brilliant blue of the ocean. After seeing this book in a children’s bookstore, I just had to have it. This book needs no words because the pictures 100% speak for themselves. The little girl arrives at the beach with her mom, unsure of what the ocean will bring. First she is shy, then bold, then soaked! All before discovering hundreds of seashells that have washed ashore. This is a book all people can relate to because everyone has experienced the delight of going to the beach. Wave is a book that will bring back all your memories, placing you right back to that perfect summer day.
It’s so real I can taste it.

ELLEN.

Don’t you love Ellen? I do. I just recently discovered the Ellen Degeneres show because as a full-time student and a part-time nanny I don’t work most days until after 11:30. SO, while I should be doing homework and reading, I instead watch Ellen. Before I became a devoted Ellen fan, I used to watch Regis and Kelly. This is only because I am a HUGE Today Show fan, on NBC- channel 7 (LOVE the whole gang), and Reg and Kelly are also on channel 7. I can’t even believe I was wasting my time with that mumbo jumbo when Ellen was on channel 5! I feel so lucky to have hit the wrong channel one morning. Changed my life! The Ellen Show is an excellent way to start your morning. She makes me laugh like no one else and I just love her dancing. CLASSIC. Pair Ellen with a cup of coffee and some greek yogurt and raspberries and you’re gonna have a GREAT day. Guaranteed.

Here’s a clip from a couple of days ago. Love this one:

Smoothies.

This Trader Joe’s Smoothie is delicious!!!!!!!!!! I’m not really one for smoothies either, but I decided to buy this today and was very pleasantly surprised to find out how smooth (hence the name, I guess) and yummy it was. I also bought the Very Berry flavor and it was also tres bien. I poured myself a small glass when I got home. Then I poured myself another small glass a couple hours later. THEN I poured myself another small glass after my class, finally finishing off the bottle. I wanted to make it last forever except it was obviously impossible. But alas, I can always just head down the street and pick up another one (or three) tomorrow. :-D
