The Love List: Trader Joe is My BFF

[Welcome to my Weekly Love List, a list on all things I love. Because if I love them, well, obviously you should love them too. As the Backstreet Boys song says (and yes, I am actually quoting them) “My Love is All I Have To Give.” So with that throwback, here are this week’s list-worthy things…]

By Jill

1) Trader Joes Chicken Lime Burgers. These bad boys are my new obsession. 150 calories, 19 g of protein, all natural, and SO quick to cook. A great way to change up your veggie burger routine, or a great snack in between classes that will keep you full (unlike that 100 Cal Pack obsession of yours which leaves you hungry .4 seconds after you finish it).

2) I live in Chicago. Where it is always cold. And snowy. And my eyes water and then freeze leaving icicles on my eyelashes. True story. But yesterday it was 65 degrees! I couldn’t help but think: Spring! Summer! Bathing Suits! So while I am not going on Spring Break, I did find an adorable bathing suit from Gap (yes, Gap!) that I can’t wait to wear…when the snow melts and I don’t have to wear ear muffs everywhere. Bonus: it comes in a two-piece AND one piece option (for those of us who don’t feel comfortable letting those pizza-and-beer-nights show…).

3) Essie’s new “One of a Kind” Spring 2009 Nail color. It’s a reddish orange that screams trendy, but not over the top. Funky and, you know, cooool. Oh and bright (and by bright I mean that perfect balance of bright enough for spring, but not too bright for March).

4) American Apparel Deep V neck shirt. You may already know about this gift from AA heaven. It’s the perfect balance of casual t-shirt and sexy top with the cleavage-y deep V. And it’s comfy enough that it feels like sweats. And when cute, affordable, and sexy-ish clothes are also COMFY? That is worth a whole lot of love.

5) Jason Segel. Seriously. Love him. As in, he is my ideal man. As in, even though I don’t think I want children, I would have his because I would be guaranteed that my offspring would make me laugh. So I am pumped for I Love You, Man to hit theaters next weekend. Because if Forgetting Sarah Marshall tells us anything it’s that I’m guaranteed to laugh until I pee, which is always Love-List worthy. Oh and there is full frontal nudity. Enough said.
