spooning

Something I have been collecting for awhile are Welsh Love Spoons. I only have about 4 in my little collection, because they are hard to come by in the U.S., but I would love to add to my collection! Although, last year I was at a Garage Sale and I found one for only $1!!

They were usually carved by young men, especially in Wales as a love token for their sweethearts, to show their affection and intentions, dating back to the 17th century. Sailors would often carve love spoons during their long journeys, which is why anchors would often be incorporated into the carvings. Spoons were also made for social occasions like weddings and christenings.

things i love

I heard about this french tip pen from a coworker of mine, and I thought I had to try it! And let me tell you, it's the easiest way of giving yourself a french tip manicure! You just draw on the line, no strips of paper needed!! I am definitely going to try it on my toes as well!! It's only $8 at Sephora!

things i love: VITAMIN WATER

I've been drinking all kinds of Vitamin Water lately, it's so refreshing and yummy. According to its website, the company was founded in 1996 by J. Darius Bikoff after a water scare in New York City gave him the idea to market alternatives to ordinary bottled water. The success of the Glaceau brand launched a new marketing category in the beverage industry: enhanced water. Glaceau's slogan is "hydrate responsibly". Just recently The Coca-Cola Company agreed to buy Glaceau in a cash deal valued at $4.1 billion.

Some of my favorites include fruit punch, peach mango, and XXX. XXX is one of the new flavors; it is blueberry and pomegranate. XXX has triple antioxidants. I especially love the witty blurbs on each bottle!
