Perfect!


Finally found 'em ~ the perfect fall capri's!  I have not one, not two, but at least three pairs of white capri's in my closet.   No, not exactly the same - they are all different lengths and fabrics, and I do wear all three pairs, so that is not the problem.  The problem is late August and early September.  It's too hot for jeans, but too "fall" for white capris.  I took a chance ordering these Cotton Capri Pants with Tabs from Ann Taylor last week during one of their many sales.  Mostly cotton with a touch of spandex and cute little adjustable tabs at the waist.  The color is called "pine cone" ~  a nice cross between olive green and dark gray.  The fit = perfect.  The length = spot on.  Now I am all set for those early fall football games!  RDP and Boiler Up!

Grapefruit + Bergamot = 7-Up??


I don't why, but whenever I wash my hands with this soap, it reminds me of 7-Up!  Who would have thought that by combining Grapefruit and Bergamot you could get the scent of 7-Up!  Which, if you think about it, is really a nice, crisp, clean scent - not too sweet, not too flowery, not too fruity.  Just fresh and clean.  I keep a bottle of this delicious foamy soap by the kitchen sink for quick hand wash-ups, and save the harsher dishwashing soap for the dishes.  A few years ago you could only find Kiss My Face Grapefruit & Bergamot Foaming Soap at Trader Joe's and some health food stores.  Now, if you look carefully, you will see it on the shelf at Marsh, Kroger, Wal-Mart and other mainstream stores.

Na-Na-Na-Na-Naan!

My new favorite for a light lunch ~ a fresh juicy peach or some white cherries, a little bit of hummus (roasted garlic or roasted red pepper) and a piece of this Stonefire Naan.  I picked this up at Super Wal-Mart, but if I remember correctly, I think I have also gotten it at Target a few times.  Anyway, I like to put the tiniest bit of olive oil on the top, give it a sprinkle of California style garlic salt and pop it in the oven for just a couple of minutes.  When warm, tear off a piece and dip it into your favorite hummus.  Yummus!
