…Not spending five minutes to come up with a fancy introduction to today’s post. We’re just diving right in.
…Going to Salad Creations on Saturday and using a buy one, get one coupon out of the Entertainment Book to have today’s lunch all set and ready to go for me.
Man, I wish I could have something like that at the ready every day. Wouldn’t that be fabulous?
…Getting cupcakes at work to celebrate a big achievement for our company.
Because, really, mid-day treats are always welcomed.
…Having our shed finally have walls without holes and start to look like it’s not ready to fall apart.
You can kinda see how bad it was here…
…so go to along with that, awesome is also having a husband who’s just so darn handy.
…BOGO bakery muffins at Price Chopper this week.
I know jumbo bakery muffins are probably one of the worst things out there for you but…oh well. I mean, I did buy the bran muffins soooo that makes ‘em healthy, riiiight?
…Having a great pair of colored jeans.
I got these maroon skinny jeans in one of my Stitch Fix deliveries that I never wound up blogging about a couple of months ago and I am loving them. Perfect for fall!
…Immediately putting my hair up in a messy knot as soon as I get home from work.
It’s just necessary.
…The way this guy smells after his tubby.
I could sniff that scent all. day. long.
…The fact that I haven’t organized my desk in months. And it’s getting a bit obvious.
Okay, maybe that one isn’t so awesome. Blech.
Disclaimer: The following portion of this post is sponsored by Nestlé. I was invited to take part in the Nescafé With Coffee-Mate “Better Together Campaign,” and I received product and compensation in exchange for participating. As always, you guys know that all opinions are my own.
…Receiving this fun package in the mail yesterday.
As mentioned above, I was recently given the opportunity to try out the new 2-in-1 Nescafé with Coffee-Mate. As someone who has tried and enjoyed Nescafé coffee in the past, and someone who always has Coffee-Mate in their fridge, I was really excited to give the new products a try. Because, really, what goes better together than that?
The Nescafé with Coffee-Mate is a powder (instant coffee + dry creamer) that you simply measure, scoop into a mug, and add hot water to. That’s it.
Since I had the package waiting for me when I got home from work yesterday afternoon, I decided to dig right in and make myself a cup of the original flavor. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, since I’ve tried instant coffee in the past and they’ve been sort of “meh.”
But the Nescafé with Coffee-Mate pleasantly surprised me. It’s not bitter, not overly sweet, and doesn’t have that watered-down flavor that I typically don’t like with instant coffees (then again, just make sure you don’t add too much water!).
Now, granted, I’ll be honest and say that it is instant coffee, so it can’t really compare it to a mug of freshly brewed joe. But for a little afternoon pick-me-up, I will absolutely be enjoying these. It’s quick, convenient, and tastes good, too.
I’ve already got the Hazelnut flavor packed up and bringing it to work today.
Awesome is…you guys getting the opportunity to try some of the Nescafé with Coffee-Mate out yourselves!
Nestlé has offered to give away a two week supply to one lucky STSL reader.
To Enter: You can visit the Nescafé with Coffee-Mate site and leave a comment on this post telling me what flavor you’d like best. Or, you can also tweet about the giveaway: (“Visit @SweetToothCourt to win a 2 week supply of @NescafeUSA w/ Coffee-Mate! #NescaféCoffeemate http://wp.me/p1g6nA-dwb“ ) Just leave me a separate comment for each (if you do both) letting me know that you did. I’ll choose a random winner on Monday, October 6th.
So now tell me…what’s awesome for YOU today?!

Awesome part about my day is finishing school two hours early!! I don’t have a coffee machine and I’ve only been drinking coffee for a couple months, so instant is all I have and I always put powdered coffee mate in it, so those Nescafe ones look super yummy! My favourite creamer is the french vanilla, so I would love to try that :)

Karri says
I am totally trying the Nescafé! You see my Grandma used to drink instant coffee & use coffeemate’s powder creamer & I began drinking a little bit of the decaf with her when I was about 3years old. I kept my Smurf mug beside hers. As I grew bigger she showed me how to prepare the coffee & it has a unique flavor I can’t get anywhere else but by making it myself. My husband loves the smell of coffee but doesn’t like the taste, however he took one sip of my coffee & said wow this actually tastes like the coffee smell & is actually good! Lol So now I have to try these! Also you mentioned Lucas’s fresh tubby scent, what do you use? I have heard Burt’s Bees baby wash smells like Fruit Loops! Lol I want to try it next for my little girl, but honestly I can’t get past the &15 price tag! I love all of your other awesome things you shared as well. The skinny jeans look so comfy & I to like the messy bun. Have a great day & thanks for sharing!
