The cutest solution to all of your sticky honey bear problems.

It's finals week here which means two things: list making and procrastination. I can accomplish both of those things with this post.

Top Ten products I cannot live without right now; or top ten reasons to live in the first world in my life.
  1. Back to Basics Raspberry Almond Reparative Haircare. This shampoo and conditioner smells AWESOME without wanting to eat your hair. It's also good for those of us who only get our hair cut on odd-numbered years.
  2. Honey. This goes on my bagels, my granola, yogurt, oatmeal, fingers and whatever else needs a little extra sticky.
  3. Kiss My Face Olive/Aloe Moisturizer. Again with the smell- this one is olivey but not salty and thus, pleasant. This lotion is super thick and best for nighttime when you won't be touching technology for awhile. Best for those of us who only shave our legs every other full moon.
  4. Whitley. This band is like moisturizer for your brain. Some of the songs on their album "Submarine" will make you cry with their sweet melodies and sad relationships. Keep tissues close.
  5. Russell + Hazel To-Do Lists. This store in general is in its own caliber of beauty, but these notes already have bubbles for you to check when you've completed something. They are minimalist in color and font plus are sticky enough to stick more than once.
  6. Starbucks Black Iced Tea Lemonade. Get half ice and a pump of classic sweetener and you've got yourself a summer day in a cup for less than a lot of their lattes.
  7. Frisbee. This sport is much more low-contact than I anticipated and is helping with my hand-eye coordination. Plus, there is minimal running, minimal shoes and maximum low-impact outside time.
  8. Pilot V5 Pens in Black. These are my go-to note taking pens. They don't bleed through notebook paper, write perfectly without being too inky, and I've yet to use one in its entirety.
  9. Kiss My Face Sport Lip Balm. These people are awesome and their lip balm tastes like lemonade. Plus SPF 30 for we whiteys.
  10. English Tea Store Earl Grey. This brand of earl grey flies out of our pantry faster than we can have it shipped. The tea bags are huge and good for at least 2 cups of caffeinated, bergamot goodness.
