Adding to My List

Remember my list of Products I Can't Live Without (aka the List of One Product I Can't Live Without and Four Products I Really Really like)?

I'd like to make some additions.

1. Rubbermaid Sip Bottle

One of my bestest pals had her salivary glands knocked out by diabetes or thyroid cancer or both and as a result she is almost non functional unless she has water handy. She always has one of these Rubbermaid Sip Bottles with her and Wes and I were ALWAYS stealing drinks (me because I always forget my own bottle and Wes because her bottle was clearly better than his sippy cup).

I finally sucked it up and got my own (they're dirt cheap and can be found at pretty much any grocery store) and have lived happily ever after. It holds 32 ounces and there's something about it that makes it so convenient. Perhaps it's the straw? Or the fact that it fits perfectly in my hand? Whatever it is, I have no problem remembering it when I leave the house and Wes likes it too so I can leave his sippy at home and we just share. I find myself drinking a lot more and I figured out that I've had the equivalent of 24 glasses of water a day ever since I bought it. Ya. I feel awesome. Hydration is a wonderful thing.



2. Hanes Men's V-neck shirts

I wear these alllll the time. If you see me 3 days in a row wearing a white v-neck I'll have you know that it's not the same shirt. I own a LOT of these. They are ridiculously affordable (Wal Mart had $10 5 packs last time I went) so who cares if one gets ruined? I got splattered with spaghetti sauce while wearing one the other day and it barely registered on my annoyance scale. Wes wipes mud on me? Meh. Lose one on vacation? No big.

Also, I am not making this up when I tell you that women have stopped me in the grocery store to ask where I got my shirt because it's the perfect white v-neck. I live in these and am not really sure what I wore before I discovered them.



And lastly, I have a confession. There's a new kid in town.

I KNOW. The ONE THING I really couldn't live without was the Chapstick in the black wrapper and then I went and upgraded to something else.

But I really love this lip balm! I have the sun protecting one (my lips get burned super easy...a lot more easily than the rest of me, strangely enough) and the regular. I prefer the way the regular one goes on, but the spf one taste like passionfruit! And it prevents my lips from getting burned and all the nasty attendant after-effects. The best part is that I don't need to reapply nearly as often. I'm not sure what the difference is, but I don't find myself pulling my chapstick out of my pocket 20 times a day anymore. A few times does the job nicely and I'm a happy camper with passionfruit flavored lips. Life is good.
