While I was cleaning my apartment tonight for my mom's arrival this weekend, the news was on in the background and someone said something that probably rings true in my life and yours more than we think. The man on the tv said "Americans just love options." ....and I have to agree with him. The more I have in front of me to choose from (no matter what it is) - the better I feel. I don't want just one drink at dinner, I like 3 in front of me (usually water, diet coke, and a fun drink). I don't want the standard 20-30 tv channels to choose from, I prefer 500! I don't want the standard features on a cell phone - I would like as many apps as my heart desires (for some of you - apps are an addiction - you know who you are!). Naturally, I loved it when I received these four different cooking oils in the mail from my mom. Completely unexpected, probably unnecessary, but they sure did make me feel excited!
Being my mom - she also knows my taste. I'm sure when she saw these she only thought about how pretty they would be in my kitchen, not whether or not I would actually use them. Lucky for her...I will love how they look on my kitchen window sill and I will love trying them in recipes!
{grapeseed oil, sunflower oil, avocado oil, & canola oil}
{I love how they look like expensive bath products - pretty & delicate}
{not only great in food, avocado & grapeseed oil benefits your skin as well}
Speaking of skin - mine really needs some help after this long winter (which still isn't over) up here in Boston. Thankfully, the weather this weekend is supposed to give us a little release - it just might be in the 50s on Saturday and Sunday! Which is perfect timing for my mom's visit this weekend. She gets here tomorrow night and stays until Sunday. I am so excited to have her up here for some mother/daughter time - it's long overdue!!
This post was long overdue as well! Recently I haven't had time to to stop until my head hits the pillow - which is exactly what I am about to do right now!
