The joy in life comes from the little things, right? Just wanted to share with ALL of my loyal readers (the 3-4 of you still out there) what things bring me a little joy these days.

MAD MEN
Oh how I love this show. Christian and I have been watching it on Instant Netflix and we are hooked. We are 1/2 way through season 4 and love discussing these complex characters. Not sure why I didn't join this bandwagon sooner, but glad I finally did. Not to mention, Don Draper is some FINE eye candy ladies!

Echinacea Tea is my new wonder drug. I have been trying to do more holistic remedies lately (not that I will EVER give up IBU profin) and this tea is a proven miracle drug. I have been drinking 1-2 cups a day when I start to feel sick and it has been fighting my colds like a charm. When I am feeling healthy I try to drink a cup a week just to keep my immune system at peak functioning levels.
Have I mentioned that I am totally becoming an herbal tea junkie? There are so many delicious flavors and it is the perfect trick to warm up in the morning and no calories to boot.

Please direct your eyes to the lovely head band I am wearing in this picture.

A woman was selling them at the Hartford Health Expo when I was there for my 1/2 marathon. I have always tried to wear a headband when I workout, the idea is great, but they always slip of my big noggin.
I have found the BEST headband EVER!
These are called GLAM Headbands, they are non-slip adjustable headbands with special grip slips.
I wore this bad boy my entire race and it never moved!!!!
AMAZING!
I have short hair so this is such a wonderful find for when I hit the gym. I have been wearing it constantly and plan to get a few more because they are so super duper awesome.
If you are interested you can find them online at
www.glamheadbands.com
They are affordable and you get free shipping if you spend $25. A pretty good Christmas gift if you ask me.

I am always looking for a good book to read (not that I create much time for myself to actually read a book if I find one). I recently read Bossypants written by Tina Fey and it was hysterical! Tina writes just like she talks; if you are in need of a good laugh you should pick up this book. It will pick up your mood and have you laughing out loud. Comical genius!

Go to Bath and Body Works, buy this minty deliciousness for your lips.
It will change your life.

This tooth paste is Da Bomb!!! Try it, you'll love it. It is like a party in your mouth! Then put that minty lip gloss on and you are good to go in the oral hygiene department!
Seriously so good!

So those are my little joys as of late.
It is important to remember those little things when life seems overwhelming and hard.
What are some of your little joys?
