This summer, I have been finding more and more new things to fall in love with, so I thought I would share with you some of my recent favorite things.

1.  Parks and Recreation

I have always been a huge Amy Poehler fan, HUGE.  It took a while for me to get into the show, but I think the writing is brilliant and I cannot wait for the fourth season to begin.

2.  Pinterest

Pinterest is a website where you can bookmark ideas in photo form.  I love looking at different fashion and home improvement ideas.  It has caused me to redecorate my bedroom as well as to begin a few new craft projects this summer.

3.  Kiehl’s Lip Balm

I am full-on addicted to this stuff.  It tastes great, a little goes a long way, and I see a difference in the softness of my lips.  It is a bit pricey, but I got it while in the airport in London when I was quite bored.

4.  Trader Joe’s Hold the Cone Mini Ice Cream Cones

These sweet treats are delicious, and perfect for my sweet tooth after meals.  The best thing about them is that they have all the sweet you want, and are only 70 calories.  Plus, getting eight in a pack makes it a great deal as well.

5.  Haribo Gold Bears

I did not fall in love with gummy bears until I had Haribo in Germany.  (I had them previously, however, it was then that I fell in love.)  Someone in our group constantly had them on hand for a pick me up of sugar during the day.  And the flavors are so delicious…my mouth is watering just thinking about them.

6.  Many the Miles — Sara Bareilles

I have been listening to a lot of Sara Barielles this summer, working in the library stacks.  I am in love with this song, and of course it reminds me of traveling on the trains in Germany.

What are some of your favorite things you have discovered this summer?
