I'm so excited to be here at Melissa's.

320 Sycamore was one of the first blogs I started to follow. I love Melissa and her ideas.

I'm Jen from Tatertots & Jello. I love Melissa's Favorite Things series and was so excited to be invited to share MY favorite things!!

There are SO many things, here are a few:

If it was the last day on earth -- this is what I would want to eat. Cool Ranch Doritos + Pace Salsa = YUM!

This combination was responsible for my "Freshman 15" in college LOL!!

• I have a little bit of an obsesssion with lip gloss. My favorite is L'oreal Colour Juice -- Raspberry Smash. It has been discontinued - so I keep looking everywhere for the last tubes out there. I need to find another to take it's place!

• Good jeans. I love to get a good deal, but when it comes to jeans, I will spend the money to get ones that make me look as good as possible. Plus, I’m tall and it’s hard to find ones with a long enough inseam. (And my sister owns a great boutique) So my favorites are: Citizens of Humanity, Paige Premium Denim and Seven for Mankind. If you treat them well, they will last many years!

• Super Skinny Serum. My hair is dry and naturally kind of frizzy, so this product is a must have. It keeps my hair shiny and smooths it out.

• American Eagle sweatshirts. I love these sweatshirts. They are warm and so soft!

• I love the grilled pre-cooked chicken breasts that you can buy. I get the big size ones from Costco. It’s such a time saver. You can whip up a healthy dinner in no time flat with them. I like to add them to soup, stir fry or pasta dishes. For a 5 minute meal using them, click here.

• Spot Shot. I love this stuff! It seriously gets out anything in carpet. It’s a life saver.

• Magic Erasers. These are magical. I have gotten so many crazy stains out with these things, inlcuding permanent sharpie markers.

• Vaseline Intensive gradual tanner. I am pasty white, this tanner goes on like lotion. It doesn’t smell funky or rub off on my clothes or sheets. It gives me a natural glow.

• J. Crew capri sandals. I bought a pair a couple years ago. I wear them all summer long. They are so cute. The metallic sheen looks so good with a tan. I noticed that Target has a knock-off that is very similar too.

• Patterned tights. There are so many fun patterns out there. It really adds interest and fun to a basic skirt.

• Skinny Tanks by Yummy Tummy -- if you haven't made it to the gym for awhile, these tanks will smooth everything out. I wear them almost every day. Target has a house brand of these and they are great too.

• I love Kohl's brand of Good Skin products. Their Instant Wrinkle Cream is great. I Love it.

• I love fabric -- Fabric.com is a great site to get beautiful fabric!

What are YOUR Favorite Things??

I would love to know!!!
