things i'm lovin!!

as if everyone hasn't already said this today... i'll say it, too. hooooow is it already august??? i mean come on!! this summer is almost over. in fact, there are schools in indiana that today is the first day of school. dumb. why does summer keep getting shorter and shorter?? whatever. it's been a little while since i've done a post of my recent obsessions! as always, post your favs in the comments so i can check them out!!

first, i love me a good candle. this isn't a recent fav, per se, as just a fav in general.  it's been my go-to candle the past few weeks (even though she's been a goodie for a long time! eucalyptus spearmint from bath & body works is where it's at! i do also love the orange ginger & lavender vanilla from the spa line!!

i feel a little bit like a hypocrite with my next thing i'm lovin. not really, but i wasn't quiet w my hatred towards jc penney's sales tactics over the last year. i thought they made a really bad move to eliminate sale prices and coupons. now that they're going back to their "old ways" and have revamped their entire store, i'm slowly becoming a big fan. i'm on the search for bedroom lamps and decided to give jcp a try. as i walked through the home dept, i promise i didn't even feel like i was in penney's. definitely stroll through next time you're at the mall!! sidenote: i actually found a couple shirts that i love, too!

i have been a HUGE fan of sara bareilles for years. she's hilarious, has a killer voice and is the best in concert! seriously the best. she just released a new cd and it's def been on repeat for me. check out her latest album, the blessed unrest. it has a little bit of a diff vibe than her previous albums, but i love it nonetheless!!

so, what are your latest favs????
