Some of my favorite new things!


Chobani 100-Calorie Greek Yogurt
I usually steer clear of 100-calorie packaged things, but these yogurts have 5 grams of fiber, 12 grams of protein and 8 grams of sugar, vs 0/12/17. Stevia, not artificial sweeteners, too. Favorite flavor? Key Lime.


Udi's bread
If you have to eat gluten-free bread, at least pick one that won't make you cry.
Funny how many of the old things become new again. While I was turning my nose at things, these things kept improving or stayed a distant cool as others downgraded.
Don't sleep on...
Press-on nails
Chadwick's of Boston
The workwear workhorse. Yes, they can be stuffy (steer clear of the corduroy dress), but they can be cool, too. I am loving their suit shift dress, which I wear as a jumper over a blouse. I got tall so the dresses (I get at least one of a good thing) fall past my knees. $20 on clearance!!!!!! And Retail Me Not often has 25% off coupons! High shipping, but the coupon codes offset this.
Aldi
Why did I tun my nose up at Aldi? They are not posh, nor are they green and crunchy. The quarter for a cart--which you do get back--is weird in the U.S. No samples and many name brands you've never heard of. But many name brands I do know feature ingredients I don't like. Aldi has many organic items and gluten-free cornbread and cake mix, wraps, chocolate-covered pretzels and crackers at a super-reasonable price. Plus, they have things like pickles and maraschino cherries without artificial colors. Yay!
Moon Boots
The cutest monstrosity! I was sick of not having great snow boots, so I went to the snow boot extreme. And now I also have boots for the moon!
I am also trying to battle my creeping addiction to Chicago mix popcorn! Guilty pleasures will be for another day...
