1. Monochromatic makeup

2. Trader Joe’s Apple Caramel Greek Yogurt

This yogurt is so good! It’s like a slice of caramel apple pie in a cup. There’s even small bit apple pieces in it, as well as whenever I discover one, I feel like I just won the yogurt lottery.

Sometimes I like to add a little handful of TJ’s Candied Pecans to take it to the next level.

They’re small sufficient to tuck away into text, yet huge sufficient to pen a quick note to self.

Another shout-out to fitness instructor Fred, who put this on his playlist in a recent spin class. I haven’t heard this tune in ages, however when I was on the bike I started pedaling like I was in the last leg of the excursion de France!
