Chrissi B! a few favorite must haves to consider ....


Spend a day or two with me, and you will know a few things. Among them ... I always carry gum, treats, change, one real paper check and one aspirin.
Over the years, I have become the one who has the ........(insert your own item here), and if it is not in my small, small bag, it is in my glove box. I am the designated "it girl" for life's small needs and wants.
At least one bottle of Aquafina water is within reach. Bag, car, tote .....

Because of this grand designation, I have become "Queen" gums and treats. Treat of the week, by popular vote? Quaker's mini rice cakes in caramel or choclaty drizzle. I carry the snack size bag, ninety calories per bag, 30 calories from fat. Not great but better than a candy bar!

Another fabby find of the moment? I am so glad you asked .... The new offering from 5 gum ....Berry Sensation. This gum is so popular, that Wrigley has given it it's own website. Imagine. We love the Berry, not only for the fruity flavor, but the gifty pink foil wrappers! Love it! Have it! Need it! Get it! Get more!

If you really need a bit of gooey-chocolaty goodness (and some days we all do) then you can reach into my "magic bag' and you will find .... Caribou Coffee Granola Bars! Made by General Mills and available at most grocers and big box stores, Caribou Coffee, (a mid-western coffee house), lent both their name and their flavorings to a delightful assortment of chewy, granola bars. Just a thought, these bars weigh in at 140 calories, and are addictive so be careful ....as we know you can easily eat more than one.

When searching for a few new treats to stash, consider my/our favorites and above all ...enjoy!
