My Favorite Things is a series of blog posts highlighting things that I’m in love with right now. I hope you like them too!
1. Pumpkin Spice Lattes from Starbucks. Ok, so I don’t actually drink these. So, why are they are my list? They signify the start of the fall season and I’m so done with summer this year. Plus, I would totally partake if it wasn’t for the whole coffee-makes-me-gag thing. Am I the only one? Bueller?
2. Creme Brulee Body Wash from Philosophy (available at Sephora). I adore sweet smelling body washes, and this is one of my favorites. The smell doesn’t really linger post-shower, but it lathers well and smells delightful!
3. Star Trek Cookie Cutters and Presses from ThinkGeek. I love ThinkGeek. They have weird, funny, and geeky gifts for all occassions. I was excited to see these Star Trek cutters in an email from them this week. Seriously, how awesome are these!?
4. AmeriColor Meringue Powder (available at Amazon). I think every cookier has their own personal favorite meringue powder (CK seems to be the general winner). But, I got this one because it is readily available on Amazon, and I really like it. It has no bitter aftertaste and makes killer royal icing.
5. Political Cookie Cutter Set from The Cookie Cutter Company. Since Virginia is a battleground state this year, we have been bombarded with political ads and survey calls. How annoying! But these cutters are adorable and super affordable! You can buy them as a set or individually if you are having a partisan shindig. Use the coupon code “NOYOMOCO10″ for 10% off!
6. The Sims 3 Supernatural (available at Amazon). I’ve played the Sims off and on for many years. Hey, some people have Angry Birds, I have the Sims. The new expansion is really lots of fun, with non-human Sims like vampires, werewolves, fairies, and witches – you can create your very own Bon Temps!

I love The Sims! I have played it since I was a kid and the first one was out! I never really comment, but I just had to comment on that!
Thanks so much for commenting, Jennifer!
Do you have the new expansion yet? It is a lot of fun. I had a fairy marry a werewolf and have a ton of kids to see what would happen – they had 4 fairy children and 1 werewolf child. Maybe the werewolf gene is recessive? 
You’re more adventurous than I! I have a Fairy married to a Fairy and once they age into adults (in like 100 days) then I’ll make them have kids. Maybe the kids can marry into different supes once they grow up
Crap. Now I want to go play.
Haha – I’m a weirdo, I guess
For me, it was difficult to get two different supernatural beings interested in one another…maybe my town is full of the non-flirty types!
I find sims are either great with everyone or horrible w/ everyone and mine are usually unflirty too – alas!
Ohhhh creme brulee by philosophy!!!!!
It smells so good! All of the Philosophy body washes are awesome – I haven’t tried one that I didn’t like
I just found your blog from cupcakes take the cake and your awesome fall cupcakes
I too love the Sims (I’m 35) – I’ve been playing since The Sims 1 and the only difference is now I know I don’t need quite every expansion or stuff pack, but I did get Supernatural and I’m getting Seasons next month
I’d love a sbux pumpkin spice latte but I don’t do dairy and there’s dairy in the syrup. Booo.
Yay for another Sims fan! I don’t have every expansion either, but I had the old version of Seasons and LOVED it, so I’ll probably get that one too
It looks really awesome!
