things i’m digging
1. Valentine’s Day
Yes, I’m one of those people who loves everything about today. I love pink and hearts and candy and flowers and balloons and stuffed animals. I don’t need Valentine’s Day to celebrate love, but I think there is something very nice about having a full day dedicated to loving the one you’re with. Even when I was single I couldn’t hate on this day. I’m a sucker for some candy hearts. Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!
2. My Kindle
In preparation for our beach trip next month, I shelled out the cash and got a bottom-of-the-line Kindle. I have an iPad, which I love, but it is not good for reading, especially in the sun. The Kindle ROCKS. So light, easy-to-read, and I can get lots of great books for free from my library.
3. The Neti Pot
In an attempt to hold off another sinus infection in 2012, I’ve been using the Neti Pot like it’s my job. If you’ve never heard of the Neti Pot before, it’s a small plastic tea pot that you mix a warm saline solution in. You then use it to stream the solution through your sinuses. Sounds disgusting and painful, but it isn’t painful at all (and only a little disgusting). It almost immediately takes away sinus pressure I have and makes sure my sinus stay clean and infection free.
4. Junk Food Clothing Colts Sweatshirt
This sweatshirt was a Christmas gift from Babyface and it’s amazing. Other than being Colts-erific, it’s also incredibly soft, cozy and warm. I had it on over my Recipage shirt and a pair of old lounge pants and I turned to Babyface and said, “I don’t think I’ve ever been this comfortable before.”
5. Your generosity
Getting sick of me plugging this yet? Well, you only have four more days to endure. Seriously though, I am so in love with how open and charitable you guys have been with the Cook for the Cure Raffle. I am in complete awe of the numbers that are coming in. I always knew BTHR readers were amazing, but with this, you’ve totally exceeded my wildest dreams. XOXO. Even if you can’t join in the raffle fun, you can do your part by spreading the word about it on your blog, on Twitter and on Facebook. I understand that not everyone has money to spare, but by spreading the word about the raffle, you’re helping save lives, too. There are even graphics to use! Thank you for supporting me and this cause.

I love my NetiPot!! It works great for seasonal allergies too. And I hypotesize that it helps keep sickness away by washing out all the germs and yuckies that can get up your nose. But beware, you should use distilled water from the store. My sis sent me some horrible news story about a man that got the brain eating amoeba by using tap water in his neti pot.
OH MY GOSH. That terrifies me! I had no idea. *runs out to buy distilled water*
I just bought a Kindle too and I’m totally obsessed! It’s upped my reading tenfold in the past month.
Good luck reaching your fundraising goal with the walk, I’m sure you’ll hit it – I just donated to you.
I’m working on getting a group together to do this event in DC, what a great cause. Good luck with the training/walking!
Thanks for your donation!
Let me know when your donation page is up and running and I’ll definitely return the favor.
I’ve ALWAYS wanted to try the Neti-Pot, but I’m so scared haha. I know it’s a totally non-rational fear, I just can’t make myself do it!
I bought a kindle last year and absolutely LOVE it. Honestly, I still read “real” books a lot because I just love the feel of holding the book in your hands, but it’s definitely a huge plus when you want to read at the beach. Especially because I don’t have prescription sunglasses – I just pump up the zoom until I don’t need glasses anymore
OH. They pumping up the zoom thing is genius! I would have never thought of that. Although, my eyes are so terrible, I’m not sure even the biggest font will work.
