Material things to get all worked up about

Money can buy a small amount of happiness, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. These are some of the non-essential things I am loving this month:

I was initially drawn to this little guy because I fit the targeted buyer to a T, and because I fell flat for the marketing scheme: at the Target register, pink, small, cute shape, strawberry sorbet scent/flavor. I bought it because it has lovely ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, and Stevia. I love the way it goes on my lips, and doesn't have to constantly be re-applied. Another plus is that it does not leave a weird white filmy layer on my lips that some non-colored lip glosses tend to do. Oh, and I also bought it because it was at the Target register, it's pink, small, has a cute shape, and tastes like strawberry sorbet. EOS Organic Lip Balm $3

Eric bought this copy of one of my all-time favorite books for me for Christmas because my copy was literally falling apart due to the many readings, and many bags I have shoved it into to accompany me on many-a-journey. And I do love a cute edition of my favorite books.

I already knew I loved Jadeite, but when someone gave us eight of these mugs for our wedding, I fell in love with her sister, Milk Glass. We got married (Eric and I, not Milk Glass and I) over a year ago, however, I did not have these mugs in my possession until we went home for Christmas a few weeks ago and were able to take them home with us because we had a car. Then, as fate would have it, I found two gold-trimmed saucers at a thrift store a few days ago, and tea and coffee have risen to a whole new level. What fun it is to drink warm beverages with the dignified sound of tinkling china (milk glass) following every sip!

Also, doesn't it look cute sitting in my blogging space?

And those are my current loves. Now tell me, what material things are working you up these days? 

P.S. I am finally facing the reality that I do not have the time at this point in my life to post every single day. As much as I would love to be able to do that, I have decided that quality and consistency are better than sporadic attempts at daily postings. So, as a little trial, I will be posting here on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. And we shall see how that works out for now. As always, thank you for reading!
