Hey everyone! Here is "My favorite tings" week two! Do NOT forget to become a follower on my blog for a chance to win a gift card to one of the "favorite things" places!



The melting pot is one of our favorite restaurants! They have a wonderful atmosphere! The melting pot offers wonderful food, drinks, and experience! Melting Pot



The Vitamix! The blender of blenders! You can do anything in this blender, including make soup! Yes, I said it...you can even make soups! There are many different versions of the Vitamix with all different prices ranges! There are many places you can buy this fabulous machine, but we got ours through QVC.


Stella&Dot favorite of the week! The Bryant park scarf! I happen to really like have an extreme obsession with scarves! These are a wonderful size (you can wear it as a shawl) and are so soft!Stella&Dot

Next up! An Erin Condren planner and notebook! Ahhh! I am always on the search for the perfect planner and it never has quite what I want. That was until I found Erin Condren! I adore my planner and matching notebook! There are many options and designs to choose from! You can even custom design yours! Life changing planner people! I should mention that Erin also has other amazing products!  Erin Condren


Not quite a product, but my favorite Disney princess! Merida from Brave! Ahhh I LOVED this movie and I just LOVE Merida! She is a princess all about standing up for her beliefs and she is NOT into prince charming! Now, please don't get me wrong, I love prince charming, but sometimes I think it is wonderful to have an all about girls character out there! 


My recipe of the week! I found Emily Bites on Pinterest! She makes wonderful WW friendly recipes, and these banana pancake bites are fantastic! Emily Bites

I have added blueberries. I also have done mini chocolate chips with the banana's. They last in the refrigerator for just a few days, but you can easily freeze these!
