AuburnChick's Adventures

It’s Friday, and I thought I’d share a few of my favorite things of late.

First off . . . Insomnia Cookies . . .

About once a month, I like to take a lunchtime walk to this little piece of cookie heaven. I figure I’ll walk off a few calories before and after I indulge in some yumminess. It’s nearly a half mile each way.

I love this place because there are three vegan options!

Last week, I went back to the office with birthday cake and chocolate chunk cookies.

And yes, I ate them both in one sitting.

Another one of my favorite things lately is a Brown Sugar Hojicha with Maple Cinnamon Cold Foam.

I froth up a little bit of maple syrup, cinnamon, and homemade almond milk.

I buy this directly from the company’s founder (as opposed from a second or third party).

I found the recipe on Ashley’s Instagram feed.

I add the frothed milk to a mixture of two scoops of hojicha, a spoonful of brown sugar, and two ounces of hot water that I’ve already gently whisked together with a resin whisk.

A little bit of ice and four more ounces of non-frothed almond milk top things off.

It’s delicious!

Another favorite thing of mine is the Lights Lacquer nail polish.

I saw an ad on the Insta and got sucked in. The company is owned by a woman and is based in Miami. The polishes are gorgeous and have fun names.

I’ve bought quite a few bottles over the last few months.

This stuff stays on for about a week without chipping!

This company has a peel off base that is great for polish that has glitter (and is notorious for being difficult to remove).

A must-have that I have a subscription for on Amazon is this everyday sunscreen . . .

My dermatologist recommended it to me years ago, and I never leave the house without putting it on.

Another item I am loving and honestly cannot do without is this makeup brush cleaner, which I purchase from Amazon. It works really well!

Another favorite item of mine is this toner, which is “clean” as can be. I get mine from Kroger.

I use these reusable cotton rounds, which I throw into a mesh laundry bag to wash up.

I try to be good to the environment.

One last item I’ll share this week is this hair oil, which I got from Amazon after hearing one of the influencers I follow on Instagram rave about it.

The directions say to leave it on your hair overnight. The smell is wonderful (if you like rosemary). Just make sure you give your hair a double wash afterward.

Alrighty. Time to wrap up!

I remember when Rebecca used to do Friday Favorites posts, and she always ended them with some of her favorite memes.

So, taking a page out of her book, here’s one of mine from the week . . .

I posted this in Teams, and one of my much-younger coworkers suggested that I get more protein. 🤣

I’ve got nothing. 🤷‍♀️
