Things I've Bought That I Love

I know I haven’t updated this in a while. I was feeling guilty for my materialistic nature after having lost just about everything in that freak house fire. But I’m back! I just finished writing a draft for the Halloween episode for next year and I definitely feel like we haven’t lost our edge. The writers, I mean. On The Office. Keep up. Now it’s off to filming for He’s Just Not That Into You! And please stop commenting with questions on my personal life! Yes, I like The Daily Show. That’s all I’m sayin’.

This is the latest and greatest product I’ve fallen in love with and I know you’ll fall in love with it, too.

AN AEROGROW! I know. I'm behind the times. But these little babies will grow vegetables, herbs, salad mixes, flowers AND various other plants because it is THAT awesome. And I love to cook. And now there is nothing that I cook that isn't seasoned by something from my aerogrow.

For: The fresh-food loving cook. Cost: $199.95

Comfort food: Snyder's of Hanover Pretzels

2009-04-17T16:31:00.000-07:00

How awesome was The Office last night? (I can compliment it because I didn't write that one- Ryan Koh did and he is a genius) It was pretty awesome. And I catch a pretty mean cheese ball, if I do say so myself.

Now, despite my fairly successful career, my personal life is a roller coaster ride of epic failures. Last week I accidentally went on a date with my second cousin. This week, I went on a blind date with a heavy mouth breather who likes Sasha White a little too much (if you know what I mean). And the last guy I met at the last club I want to still hasn't called back. I know I am not the only one experiencing a string of bad luck (I read fmylife, too, after all) so I want to offer my favorite new remedy.

NOTE: In order for this to be comforting AND guilt free, DO NOT LOOK AT THE LABEL. I'm serious. Just... don't look at it. And this product will be everything you want it to be.

Snyder's of Hanover Peanut Butter Pretzel Sandwich Dips are a gift from heaven. Just... imagine it for a second. Little circular bite size pretzel, sandwiched with peanut butter and dipped in chocolate. Amazing, delicious, Hershey's milk chocolate. It is the best thing to come home to when you don't have a person or a dog. The second best thing to a hug, or sex, or that phone call you've been waiting for. This yummy snack WILL kill some time until the bag is empty and you go back to wallowing. It will be the best ten minutes of your life. Well, for now. Hopefully.

Spiegel Special Occasion Dresses

2009-04-08T19:56:00.000-07:00

Here's the thing. I love Spring and all the fashion designs they inspire. The cute colors, the light fabrics, the sexy but not-too-sexy cut that leaves them just enough to keep wanting more? But some of us are on a budget. Some of us are cheap. Some of us are Jewish. Whatever your problem is, I have the site for you.

Spiegel has signature luxury fabric designs with color and cuteness and accessories to go with. EVERYTHING YOU NEED at your fingertips for the springy-meets-summery occasionally mucky April holiday season. Oh- at a reasonable price. That's the important part. I hope my run-on sentences demonstrate the excitement I feel when I talk about this.

The best thing about Spiegel too, is that they have sizes from 2-18 and flattering cuts. You won't find any 60s mod Kate-Moss-Only style dresses. These pieces have waists- and even hemlines that extend past the vagina! I have dimply thighs- and I don't know about you guys- but I like to keep said dimples covered by layers of beautiful silk chiffon. Sorry. TMI.

So. When I'm going out for a night with the girls or skyping with my fiancé, I wear something from Spiegel. If I'm going to a red-carpet event last minute because they forgot to invite me, I wear something from Spiegel. When I'm feeling down and want to spend a night with Ben, Jerry and Bridget Jones- I'll wear something from Spiegel and NOT even care if I spill some Neapolitan Dynamite because it's just so darn affordable.

Good for: Classy women, frugal women, women with great taste.
