1. My Bible
An essential to my daily life. Brandon and I are currently reading the bible in chronological order. I cant stress enough how important and what a major change it has made in my life. I know everyone is super busy already but the benefits of reading daily will highly outweigh the couple minutes it takes to read 4 chapters.
I personally love the English Standard Version Study Bible it has amazing commentary!
2. Dry Shampoo
Blondish hair powder by Bumble and Bumble (my favorite but $35 a bottle)
I don't have time to wash my hair everyday or color it every time my roots are exposed and this stuff helps with both of these issues. I apply it to my roots and then brush it through. It gives me a tremendous amount of volume and makes my hair look clean. Sally's has a less expensive version of dry shampoo for $7 a bottle that works well also, but it doesn't help with your dark roots.
3. Individually frozen chicken breasts and my grill
At Costco and Sam's Club they sell large bags of chicken breasts and when I have been so busy that I forget to defrost something for dinner these are a life saver. I can take them out of the bag and throw them straight on to the grill and in 30 minutes I have a beautifully grilled chicken breast (My favorite seasoning for grilled chicken is salt, pepper, garlic powder, and lemon pepper). Just add a Salad, a veggie and a carb and your good to go.
4. Tazo Green Tea (Zen)
It is heaven in a cup. I brew it ahead of time in a pitcher than through out the day I can drink it as I desire. It is the green tea Starbucks brews and during the summer it is a must have! Plus, green tea boosts your metabolism...I need this because since I have been so busy I forget to eat.
5. Truvia
A natural alternative to sugar. It is zero calories and not full of chemicals you cant pronounce. I love it! I dont cook with it but it is what I use in my green tea so I cant live without it. It is a bit more expensive than other no calorie sweeteners but who can put a price your health.
6. iPhone
No description needed. I have no idea how I lived without one for so long. A truly wonderful invention. Thank you Steve Jobs (the founder of apple)!
7. Concealer
Just a tad under the eyes, I recommend a shade or two lighter than your skin. It will brighten up your face and cover and dark circles from a long night up with a teething child.
8. Baby Wipes
Such a convenient thing to have around! I use them for everything.
9. Aveda Deep Penetrating Hair Re-vitalizer
My ultimate favorite thing for my hair. I am sad to announce I just ran out and also found out that Aveda discontinued it. So I'm going to try Aveda's Dry Remedy Moisturizing Masque I'll let you know how it goes.
10. My Contigo water bottle (sold at costco 3 for $18.00)
I have one on me at all times. You dont have to unscrew them to open it they have a button that you push and it opens. I bought 6 botttles. Brandon and I fill them up from our filter and put them in the refrigerator to get really cold. Plus Im "going green" by not using disposable water bottles. Buy some you'll never drink water from anything else. (dont put them in the dishwasher because they melt and bit and then leak)
These 10 things make my life easier and more beautiful. I hope you found the information interesting and helpful!
