Simple Pleasures

I am all about simple pleasures. I am an easy to please person -I don't need all of the glitzy shiny things. I've just never been like that. Simple things make me happy.


Case in point, I love the Amber Romance body lotion from Victoria's Secret. I've loved it for years now but rarely go into Vicki's spot because she's too high sometimes. Last time I had this lotion was when we went on the cruise last year. When we were flying back from Miami, I forgot that it was in my carry on instead of the luggage that went ahead and dang the man at the security post who took it. They didn't take coconut head monkey that we stored all of our medicine. No he took my lotion. I know it was his job and I know I should have remembered to pack it in the other bag but dang! It's ok...I'm not bitter. I just bought some. Just the smell of it brings me to a happy place.


Another simple pleasure helps with my sanity. Tea. Hot tea, sweet tea, McAlister's tea, Mickey D's sweet tea (when they make it right), herbal tea, just any kind of tea. It eases my mind, calms my nerves, and it's better for me than drinking soda or coffee. I have always loved tea.








Writing is definitely more than a hobby for me. It keeps my mind from overflowing with ideas and thoughts and fears and dreams. Writing allows me to express on my paper what my lips won't say. Writing keeps me alive and free. I just really love to write whether it's poetry or a scene in a novel or even a entry in my diary. Yes I still do have a personal diary. It's an APP on my phone so it's easier for me to write whenever I need to.

I love Reign

New SHOW alert -I have a new favorite show and this one is definitely different from anything on regular TV. We don't have cable but since I go to my father's house when I need a cable fix, I'm not in any hurry. My husband on the other hand...that's another blog. I absolutely am in love with the CW show Reign. Reign is a period drama television series following the early years of Mary, Queen of Scots, in 1557 France.

I love this show for several addicting reasons. I first love period pieces. Periodieces seem to be better with hitting all of the 5 senses. I think mainly because they have to. In order for the water or the reader to actually feel the show, they need to be able to taste, feel, see, hear and smell everything from that period. If not, it just looks like people dressing up in gaudy clothes with crazy accents. I love the drama that's around every corner. Queen Mary of Scot is in love with her fiance Frances who has sex appeal dripping from his hair but is adored by her soon to be brother in law Sebastian who is very much more adventurous than his brother. All of this while people are trying to kill her, including her soon to be mother in law (gotta love mother in laws!), her Ladies in waiting have their own dramas and....there's even some skankery in the mists. The cast is doing a great job so far. I was immediately drawn to it from the commercials promoting the show and have been hooked ever since. I give this show 9 out 10 stars. I couldn't give full 10 stars because it comes on at 9p when I usually go to bed at 8, 830p. Other than that, if you like period pieces, men with accents, and classy mistresses -you'll love Reign. It comes on the CW channel on Thursdays at 9p. Enjoy:)
