10 on the 10th

Hello and happy Tuesday.

Well, high ho, high ho, it’s back to school we go. Yesterday, we finally thawed out enough to get some bus routes clear, but we actually are on a two hour delay. I guess it will be nice to ease into the school day a bit later after being out since Friday, January 23rd. Yes, you read that correctly!

It’s February 10th, so I’m linking up with Marsha for…

This month’s prompt is…

Kind of like in January, at first thought, this was a tough topic for me. Thankfully, I had a few days to think about my responses. (I hope I’ve interpreted the prompt correctly!)

Here are 10 things I hate to love…

1. Iced coffee: I’ve had iced coffee through the years, but it’s only been a couple of months of drinking iced coffee pretty regularly. I love it, but it takes a few steps to make my iced coffee…ice, milk, coffee, creamer, froth my concoction, and add a dollop of cold foam before enjoying.

2. Seasonal mugs/icon glasses: These are both fun things to love, but it means I have to keep my cabinet organized to hold some of these favorite things. I have organized my mugs with seasonal ones together, so that helps, and then I put “off season” icon glasses in a lower cabinet.

3. Coffee creamers: I really do try to just use a splash of creamer as to not add too many calories to my morning coffee, but I used to only be a vanilla creamer girl. Now, thanks to Chobani, I am always changing up my coffee creamer. Trav still prefers the vanilla, so I always have that on hand, but I like to buy the peppermint, cookie dough, and recently I’ve been trying the birthday cake flavor.

4. The Real Housewives: I actually don’t watch a lot of reality/trash TV, but I do love most of the Real Housewives franchises. My favorite part of every season is the reunion. I’d say OC and Beverly Hills are my fave two.

5. Following celebrity stuff/reading People and Us Weekly: These magazines are just “permission for me to be nosy” haha! Sometimes, I just like mindless watching and reading!

6. Having my nails done: For years, I did my own nails, but about three years ago, I started getting SNS dip on my nails every three to four weeks. It just feels like a nice treat for myself, and once my nails are done, I don’t have to worry about them. I do take occasional breaks, but overall, I keep pretty regular appointments.

7. Skincare: I always say, I’m not turning back the hands of time with any of the products I use, but I’m just trying to keep my skin hydrated, firm(ish), and glowy. I still love my monthly facials, and those feel like a nice treat. That being said, with skincare, I feel like I’m “always” buying something. I’m pretty loyal to my products, but I just mean if something runs out, I have to order again.

8. My tumbler: There’s worse things to hate to love like drinking water…haha! But…I always have my tumbler with me and feel “naked” without it! I have this one in two colors, and it’s what I’ve used the past few years to stay hydrated.

9. Sweets! Why do I have a sweet tooth?! I will say I’m pretty good about saying “no” treats like donuts or cookies. That being said, if something is seasonal, I will eat probably more than I should!

10. Target: Who doesn’t love Target? I always joke that I “let” Target tell me what I need when I step foot in the store. haha! So, that basically means that I always leave with more than I need. My most favorite recent purchase is this jarred candle with a lid…I love it so much so that I’ve picked it up in a few other colors. (They had buy one, get one half off this weekend)

This was a fun post to write. What’s one thing you hate to love?
