Things I Love Thursday: My Brand New Blackstone and Some Sweatshirts

Ever want something sweet, but the only thing you can find in the entire house is a melatonin gummy? 

 

Garage freezer Reese's stash? gone.

Closet file cabinet Haribo hidden treasure? obliterated.

 

I better type fast before these gummies kick in. 

Per usual, the links to these products are below in PINK.

 

PERFECT THIN SWEATSHIRT

 

Several weeks ago I went shopping with my sister in law, and she convinced me that INEEDDIS.

 

I can't really tell if this is a thicc t shirt or a thin sweatshirt.

 

But it is the perfect shade of scrubs green. 

 

I'm basically a doctor now. 

 

 

 

FAVORITE LEGGINGS EVER WITH STRIPE FLAIR

 

I have approximately 8 pair of these Aerie Real Me black leggings.

(sans stripe)

 

So when they rolled out the track stripe version, it was a no brainer. 

 

I liken it to the day Wendy's unveiled the vanilla Frosty. 

 

Something different. You know you're gonna like it. Maybe not as much as the OG, but enough to go for it for the days you just want to mix things up. 

 

 

 

 

GREAT LIFE HACK BOOK

 

It started out with an IG follow of @thelazygenius. Didn't know what or who this was, but the handle alone sold me. 

 

It spoke of working smarter, not harder. 

 

It had hints of big lift hack wins while perhaps wearing sweatpants. 

 

After following Kendra @thelazygenius I learned so much from her Instastories and posts alone that I knew the book was my next move. 

 

Easy read. Hilarious content. Super helpful principles on how to embrace what matters, ditch what doesn't, and get stuff done. As the tagline states. 

 

P.S. The author hails from Greensboro, NC, as all the cook kids do. 💁‍♀️

 

 

ZIT STICKERS

 

At least that's what we call them. 

Because yelling "pimple patch" up the stairs to the teens just feels dumb. 

 

Zit sticker sounds more aggressive. 

 

Slap a zit sticker on before bed and wake up to more magic than when the tooth fairy only has a $20.

 

 

 

THE MOTHER OF ALL OUTDOOR COOKING TOOLS

 

This deserves its own post. And shrine. And trophy case. 

 

The Blackstone Griddle really is a thing of wonder to this mother and feeder of all the Gastons. 

 

I researched. Delayed purchasing. Denied it's proclaimed awesomeness. Binged watched YouTube videos about it, and then finally pulled the trigger when I saw one at Walmart. 

 

There is no looking back. If you've been on the fence, DO IT!!!

 

Smashburgers on The Blackstone will make every other burger taste dumb. 

 

I can't even believe I'm saying this, but the chicken I cooked wasn't burned, charred or pitiful. Totally Juicy and the M word that no one likes. 

 

Tonight I made 18 chicken quesadillas in 15 minutes. Zero exaggeration. 

 

Breakfast will have you thinking you missed your calling as a Waffle House cook named Shirl. 

 

Next up: Hibachi. 

 

Summary: GET A BLACKSTONE!!!!!!!

 

SWEATSHIRT WITH BONUS FEATURE BUTTONS

 

My fave color. 

Qualifies as Leisurewear. 

Mock neck and buttons to disguise the fact that it's a sweatshirt. 

 

 

 

 

Enjoy your Thursday, y'all.
