Fab Five for July

One of the only times I ever watch Oprah is when she has her "favorite things" episodes. I don't know why I bother, it is not like I can afford anything that she picks, but for some reason I like hearing about things other people enjoy. On that note, I decided that each month in my blog I would list 5 of my favorite things. Mind you, I have no corporate sponsors to back me so no one will be getting free stuff for reading about them, but I think it will still be fun. So, here you go!
(1) Favorite Household Product - Mr. Clean magic eraser. I think they should rename it the miracle sponge. I love this thing! I have no idea how it works or what it is made of, but it really does magically erase all smudges, marker, crayon, boogies, etc. off of my walls. I can't help but wonder if they confiscated the material from some alien ship in Area 51, but seriously they should test it on cancer or something because it really is amazing!
(2) Favorite Snack - Dale and Thomas White Chocolate & Peanut Butter Popcorn. To borrow a phrase from Rachel Ray, yum-o. It is the perfect balance of salt and sweet, and its only fault is that it is impossible to find unless you order it online which is expensive. Besides that, it is the perfect snack. And since white chocolate is basically like dairy, and peanut butter is a protein, and popcorn is full of fiber, it is totally healthy. Really!
(3) Favorite Shoes - It is summer people, can you find a better shoe than the flip-flop? And not the cheap ones with the plastic thing in the middle, the really cushy ones with leather or nylon in the middle. My current fav's are sketchers and they are pink and brown. Could there be a better shoe? It is the least amount of footwear possible, which is great for me since I would rather be barefoot all the time anyway. Ironically, the only place I don't like wearing them is at the beach, because either the flip or the flop causes sand to kick up to your bottom. Why is that?
(4) Favorite Beverage - Iced Nonfat White Chocolate Mocha from Starbucks. Not too heavy, not too sweet, cool & delicious. The juice of the gods, need I say more?
(5) Favorite TV Show - Okay, this probably changes daily. However, right now I am totally addicted to Deadliest Catch. Crazy, I know. But something about crab fishing in Alaska is oddly entertaining. Maybe if I lived somewhere that it snows I wouldn't be so fascinated by it, but it is very intriguing and I urge you to give it a try.
So, there you have it. My Fab 5 for the month. Please feel free to leave your fav's for the categories listed, they will change each month :)

Ohhhh fun!

1)Clorox wipes for now. But the Magic eraser was amazing when my MIL lived here and destroyed the walls. I forsee it's use in my future as Nadia gets into "crafting".
2)Snack - Little Debby Nutty Bars.
3)Shoes- my mary jane crocs. I was in TOTAL denial about paying that price for plastic shoes, but I walked all over China in them and have worn them all over since. But I do love my black and white Speedo flip flops. I bought 5 pairs on clearance in 2006 to have a stash of comfy flip flops. (I am crazy, I know)
4)Beverage- Diet Coke plus.
5)TV show - mine is always changing, but Heroes is so awesome. I am excited about it starting again in Sept.
