Things I am Currently Loving

by Jenni in


It has been a while since we have talked about the products, shows, or blogs that I am currently loving. I have found myself missing all of these things when we are on vacation, are forgotten to pack, or I am away from my house for more than five minutes at a time. Hermit, yes.

Since we have been away from home for a while now and will not be getting back for a while longer, some of these are extra missed and will be tightly embraced when I return to them. I should also warn you that we are getting to the nostalgic stage of my being away from home. This means we are bound to have a post completely comprised of pictures of the two cutest cats ever quite soon. Prepare.

Hommemaker is a blog created by Emily Henderson's assistant, Orlando Soria. This is easily the funniest blog I have ever read. Somehow, Orlando is able to get me wanting to cry in one sentence, then bursting out laughing in another.  

Orlando, like Emily, also posts pictures of recent projects and his own home. His home is beautiful and has a bit more of a masculine, refined style when compared to Emily Henderson's. If you are wanting some great style tips and quite a few laughs, check out his blog. He does not update daily, but it is totally worth it when he does.

Keurig Vue

I ordered this beauty for our cat sitter to use while we were out of town a few months ago. Turns out, I have found my new love/obsession/addiction. This thing is incredible and I am pretty sure it loves me back.  

One of the neatest features about it- other than the massive water storage and super nice touch screen interface, is that all k-cups are recyclable. Score! Once the cup has cooled, you remove the coffee bag inside and recycle the outer cup. You're welcome, environment.

This coffee machine of awesome also makes iced coffee, iced tea, lattes (yes, lattes), and multiple size and strength coffees. Oh, and did I mention that it has an auto-on? Well, it does. Maybe I am too new to the Keurig market and all of these features are not super impressive, but I am super impressed.  

Inside the Magic

I know that we have talked about Inside the Magic before, but being this far away from Orlando for so long has helped me realize how much I enjoy the podcast and site. The creator, Ricky Brigante, is literally, my only contact with Disney while we are away. Somehow, Ricky is able to bring a bit of Disney magic into every story he does. Besides, the podcast and articles on his site help me better plan and anticipate our next trip to Disney in August. Yes, that is how much we/I miss Disney- we are willing to go during the hottest month of the year!

Victoria's Secret Cami Sport Bra

I got this sport bra a few months ago on a sale and my only regret is not getting more. The bra is super comfortable, looks good with everything, and does not move- at all. This has quickly moved to the top of my list for must-have workout attire. The back is also super cute and has a sweat wicking mesh-like material. I got mine in the gray, but will definitely be getting a few more of the brighter colors as well!

Extra perk, it has a nice neck line that looks good, but is not super revealing. It also fits really well with a heart rate monitor band underneath!  


Disney Blogs

My 25th Birthday last year at EPCOT :)

My 25th Birthday last year at EPCOT :)

As of today, I have not been to Disney World for one, whole, month. Some may scoff at my sadness over this, but when you are willing lay down a cool couple hundred for an annual pass, one month is a pretty big deal! Since I am going through very obvious withdraws, I have decided to share some of my favorite ways of staying connected with everything Disney. Happiness.

Inside the Magic

This is first because it is my favorite, and my favorites get to go first! Inside the Magic is a blog and podcast hosted by Ricky Brigante. If you are interested in the happenings of Disneyland, Disney World, Disney Corporate, or any other part of Disney- International included- this will be a new weekly fav. Ricky releases a new hour plus podcast at the beginning of every week. Most podcasts go over what has been on his blog in the past week along with listener submitted tips and questions.

As part of the Disney media, Ricky is able to get sneak peaks and early admission to some of the new things Disney is doing. This has been very handy with the New Fantasyland opening, since I am quite impatient and wanted to know everything ahead of time. He was also able to stay and give a review of the Art of Animation Resort and Disney Cruise ships before they were open to the public. Handy. 

I could, literally, go on forever about his site and podcast. But I will not. Instead, I will just emphasize that it deserves a read and a listen!

Run Disney Blog

This is a great blog if you are interested in all the running news at the happiest places on earth. The Run Disney blog keeps you up-to-date on all runs happening at Disney, including the parks outside of Orlando. runDisney is how I found out about the Expedition Everest 5k Challenge and most other Disney races. What is so awesome about this blog is that you get all the dates, links to sign up, training, and results of past races. It is all there, nice and clear and easy to find. Soooo handy and refreshing compared to some other Disney blogs and websites.

This site gets you seriously hyped to go out and run, and especially to go out and run in a fairy tutu through Magic Kingdom. I love pictures and information, and runDisney.com has both, uber happy blogger here!

The Disney Food Blog

Just because I had my favorite first, does not mean this one is last in line. The Disney Food Blog is, actually, the one that ties in most with P+K. Oh goodness, this blog is such a fantastic find for healthy eating while at Disney. The DFB keeps me up-to-date on new openings, menus, and foods on a weekly basis. I would highly recommend checking this site out if you will be making/planning a trip to Disney in the future.

One of the worst things I can think of doing at Disney is just going in and eating somewhere, or worse, making a reservation for a place and having no idea what the food is like. I have done this enough to know that a little research will go a looong way! There are tons of great, sometimes hidden, places to eat at Disney. This blog will help you find them- no matter your dietary constraints.
