What’s going on everyone? Another week is about to get started, and amidst all the holiday hustle and bustle I decided to stop in and cover another edition of #FiveThings for the week.
DJ Earworm United State of Pop 2014
When it comes to music, especially workout music, I love listening to mashups. Every year DJ Earworm releases a mashup of the year by mashing up all of the top pop songs. The 2014 mashup was released a few weeks ago and I can’t stop listening to it. Check it out here.
Immaculate Cookies
While in the grocery store the other day, I noticed these tear and bake cookies. They caught my eye because they are both dairy and gluten free. Of course, I HAD to try them. While they were baking, I checked out their website. Apparently the company also makes biscuits, sweet rolls, pie crusts, and other types of cookies.
Newsflash: The cookies are amazing, and I will be testing out every other product from this company.
The CC Monkey off My Back
Religion, politics, money….things you normally don’t talk about, but today is a little different. In the past, I’ve had a pretty unruly credit card. It’s the result of poor decision making, trip taking, a lululemon addiction, and a very warped view of how easy it is to just “pay things off”, while working multiple part time jobs and going to school. {There Dad, I admitted it}. This weekend I can officially say that I have paid off that credit card, and it is a huge weight off of my shoulders. I’m just going to leave the money convo to that, but this was a major accomplishment for me, and a great way to start the new year.
Christmas brunch
Throughout the year, everyone’s always traveling on the weekends for either work or leisure. This weekend {as is usual for most weekends around the holidays} both my brother, Jimmy, and myself were all home, so I decided to cook a very Christmas-ey brunch on Saturday.
It started with this box of Gingerbread Pancake Mix that I found from Trader Joe’s. I also whipped up some bacon and eggs with parsley for the boys.
They also weren’t allowed to drink any of the coffee unless they drank it from a Christmas coffee mug. House rules.
It was just a little thing, but it was a nice and relaxing way to kick off the weekend with my brother and boyfriend. I am thankful everyday that we’re all able to live in the same city. {We were missing the other frat bro, Andrew…he had already gone home for the holidays}.
Christmas next week
Need I say more? Christmas is right around the corner {and there are only 10 days left in 2014…when the heck did that happen??}. I’m having a blast soaking up as much of the Christmas spirit as I can {AND I found out that I don’t have to work on Christmas Eve…icing on the cake right there}. No matter what’s going on this week, the fact that good old St. Nick is paying everyone a visit on Wednesday night makes it all better. May or may not be blogging while watching Home Alone for the second/third time this season.
How’d everyone else’s week finish up? Anyone on Christmas break yet? What are your #FiveThings for the week?
