The Grateful 15: Part 2

Oh heyyyy, only 6 days until Thanksgiving!  I seriously cannot believe how fast the month of November is flying by.  But that just means it's time for me to share my second set of 5 things I'm grateful for!  If you missed part 1 and aren't sure how The Grateful 15 works, then you'll definitely want to head on over to my first post to learn about it.  But to sum it up in a few words or less, it's simply listing 15 things that you typically don't find yourself appreciating from a day to day basis and realizing how grateful you actually are for them.  :)


  
Okay, loveys... here we go!  I am grateful for:
  1. Yoplait Whips!:  Ah, yes, I went there.  I've had Yoplait Whips in the past and they light and creamy texture along with the strawberry flavor never really stuck with me until just recently.  They're just SO good... I've even been finding myself replacing my chocolate craving with them!  Oh man, thank God for that... if you know me, then you know my love for chocolate can be kindaaa ridiculous. 
  2. Slippers:  I used to wear slippers ALL the time when I first started college.  I'd roam around the dorm halls all day long in them... so much so that I wore them out and they needed to be thrown in the trash!  Now, I don't know if I'm the only one... but it always takes me a few weeks to really break in a slipper and for them to feel like I'm walking on clouds.  I really like for them to form to me feet.  I don't know.  Maybe I'm weird?  So I failed to ever buy a new pair until just a couple days ago.  They're like a moccasin shoe/slipper - OMG.  They're so incredibly warm and soft and best of all, comfy!  I'm totally in love.
  3. Chapstick:  Yeah baby, chapped lips aren't fun!  I've got that message loud and clear this year so far and chapstick has quickly become my bestie.  I used to wear it regularly just because I liked the way it smelled, but it really does help bring your lips back to life.  My personal favorites are any of the one's from Maybelline Babylips line.  Nothing smells better than Peach Kiss!
  4. My handyman:  Boy, am I one lucky girl to be getting to marry such a handyman.  Anything from building me my dream kitchen table to carrying up the Christmas tree... he enjoys being the man of the house and I don't mind it so much either.  ;)  I'm constantly wanting to change things up around our apartment, so it is so helpful to have him around to help me lift something or hang up some lights where I can't quite reach.
  5. Online shopping:  Something I've been doing for years and it's become something I just don't appreciate as much as I used to and I really NEED to.  Especially since I just discovered the site, Ebates (yeah, I know.. I'm way behind the times).  If you're like me and haven't ever heard of it, or have and think it's a scam... well, it's not!  Seriously, you get paid for shopping through them.  All you really do is create an account, go to ebates.com when you want to shop online, find your store, then it will redirect you to that stores website and you can shop online just like you normally would but you're getting a percentage of whatever you spend back!  Around this time of year, I bet you can make some serious money Christmas shopping!

That's my 5 for today!  Check back in next week for my final 5 and remember to join in on the fun and comment below some of the things you're grateful for this year.  I'll be back VERY soon with some posts that may or may not have to do with Christmas... just saying.  ;)
