Four Favorites for Summer

August 2, 2023 By Kristin Saatzer 2 Comments

Welcome to the dog days of summer. It sure is cooking in these parts!

Let’s talk about a few of my summer favorites:

  • I recently took a trip to Texas, and these worked great in my plane tote. TSA-Approved Clear Travel Toiletry Bag with Zippers Carry-on Travel Accessories Quart Size (2 pcs)  https://amzn.to/3KkFxTD
  • I am almost done with this one. This bathing suit season, stick this book in your pool or beach bag (and be ready to do some spiritual/physical/emotional work). This read is just what the “diet culture” needs, and I am loving it. https://amzn.to/3qcwWLT 

 

  • Brunch with Babs. They call her “everyone’s grandmother,” and she is a hoot. Plus, she is a wealth of knowledge: recipes, parties, holidays, cleaning, organizing, and fun. Look her up before you plan your next summer barbeque. She’s on all the socials and is a fun Instagram follow. https://www.brunchwithbabs.com/

  • Loving my new summer lipstick: Mary Kay Sunset Peach. I bought it from my favorite Mary Kay consultant: https://www.marykay.com/SHoughton 

Mary Kay Gel Semi-Shine Lipstick ***SUNSET PEACH*** 094637 - NIB - Picture 1 of 6

Enjoy these dog days! What are your summer favorites?

Blessings,

Kristin

Four Favorites for June

June 1, 2023 By Kristin Saatzer 4 Comments

Happy June, friends! Here are four fun things I’ve enjoyed lately that may heighten your summer mood…

 

Tis the season to grill! I gave my son this fun little gadget for his birthday, perfect for marinating your favorite meat. https://amzn.to/43izoii

 

      Looking for a fabulous summer read? This memoir unfolds like a novel, as Beth Moore is a master storyteller. Impossible to put down: intense, funny, poignant, and profoundly moving. I am reading it for the second time with my book club.   https://amzn.to/45IJLO4

 

    Before you slather on all that sunscreen, check out this app that will tell you if it is full of chemicals or clean. Scan the product with the QR code. Household cleaners, makeup, and personal products, too. Think Dirty® Shop Clean – Clean Beauty App – Shop Clean Products – Think Dirty® Shop Clean. (thinkdirtyapp.com)

 

Are You There God It's Me Margaret     I read this book countless times as a tween and was excited to see the movie. It did not disappoint. The acting is fantastic, as is the nostalgia. Grab your BFF, sister, daughter, or mom. Pop the corn, break out the candy, and escape the heat on a hot summer night.  https://amzn.to/3OTr586

 

What are you enjoying these days?

Four for March!

March 1, 2023 By Kristin Saatzer 2 Comments

 

Happy March! 

It has been a WET winter in my neck of the woods. Here are a few fun rainy-day things I’ve been enjoying lately:

One. https://www.justwatch.com/  Just Watch app. This app is handy for finding where a TV show or movie is streaming.

Two. https://amzn.to/3Z0tsbC  Get Your Life Back by John Eldridge. I loved it, as did my book club—an excellent book to read early in the year (or anytime).

Three. https://amzn.to/3m3oH2i Kiel’s Ultimate Strength Hand Salve. It’s been saving my hands in the cold weather, and It is fragrance-free and not too thick.

Four. Baking on a rainy day is one of my favorite things. My son and I have many food issues, and this recipe is yummy and free of ingredients we can’t eat.

Blessing friends,

Kristin

Four Faves: Fall Edition

October 17, 2022 By Kristin Saatzer 6 Comments

Hi friends! I hope this finds you well and enjoying some cool, crisp temps. Here are some fun things I have been enjoying lately…

 

Book: My book club enjoyed an excellent fiction read last month; it was a hard one to put down:

 

Podcast: Get your science on with this one, there are new episodes each week:

https://hubermanlab.com/welcome-to-the-huberman-lab-podcast/

 

TV Show: This is a new show to me (rated PG), but it’s in its second season. I thought the first few episodes were entertaining. It is on ABC and streams on Hulu.

 

Recipe: We are gluten, dairy, and (mostly) sugar-free around here. This one does have sugar, but you might substitute monk fruit, and I exchanged the regular flour with 1:1 gluten-free flour. These cookies were a hit with high schoolers and adults alike:

https://www.simplywhisked.com/dairy-free-pumpkin-cookies/

 

What are you reading, baking, watching, or listening to? Let me know in the comments.

 

Blessings,

Kristin
