As always, things I’m loving & learning this Monday morning:

• Cookie Butter from Trader Joes. From the jar, with a spoon, on a pretzel, topping a banana — sooo many options and all of them are delicious :)
• Protective lens filters! I don’t know if I’ve just been completely out of the loop…but an employee at a local professional camera store filled me in on these bad boys when I brought my camera in for a pre-wedding season inspection! When the she first mentioned them, I cringed at the thought; I immediately pictured weird hues or added patterns – blech! However, she quickly set me straight: these protective filters are perfectly clear and when you purchase a high quality one like this, it has no effect on the image! Hooray!!! :)
• I love T.Swift as much as the next girl, don’t get me wrong. I even love her new sassy self and can’t WAIT to dance my heart out at her concert in THREE WEEKS!! But the Bad Blood music video?! What was that?!?! Anyone else totally weirded out?! I have no words…
• Rain-X. Have you guys discovered this stuff?! Chris introduced me to it over the weekend, and I officially love driving in the rain now. Not only does it make it SUPER easy to see through my windshield, but I also sort of feel like I’m in the Star Wars movie introduction scene. Ya know, with the scrolling words & shooting stars? Yeah, it’s awesome.
• Also, I had a Pomegranate-Ginger Margarita at Bomba this weekend…and it’s officially my favorite drink out there. I could easily live off of guac, tacos, and margs for the rest of my life :)

And that’s a wrap! This week is full of school work galore, and then I’m off to Indy this weekend to celebrate Memorial Day and meet one of my fall couples!

Hope you have a beautiful Monday!

Love love love,

Sami
