I had my second round of mole removal and stitches on Monday. The bad news is that I now have five stitches (plus three dissolvable ones) but the good news is that it hurt MUCH less this time, thanks to a prescription for topical lidocaine. I am a total needle phobe and asked my doctor if she could prescribe me anything to make the shots a little less painful. She said it wouldn’t make much difference, but I was thrilled to have a prescription anyways – the placebo effect is real. As it turns out, the lidocaine made a HUGE difference! I’d say the pain was reduced by 90%. I only felt one of probably 6 sticks she did to numb my leg. I’m going to use it the next time I need a shot or blood draw!
I am obsessed with my iPhone without a case. Unfortunately, I know I will destroy it if I go caseless. My friends make fun of me because I switch cases all the time (I have 3 that I rotate through) but then again I did have an obsession with rearranging my bedroom furniture when I was little. I like to keep things fresh! Anyways, I happened to click a link in a sponsored Facebook post for this case….or, er, non-case, called Utomic. It’s four corners of bumpers for your phone that protects it (apparently really well!) while letting your phone’s true sleek feel shine through. I bought it completely impulsively and will report back on how it works!
Speaking of phone stuff, I bought these rose gold charger cords on Amazon. So much prettier in my car than my old black one : )
Have you seen the preview for Trolls?! I just love the neon colors, glitter, and sparkles, and, of course, I am obsessed with the new JT song. Why do we have to wait until November to see it?!
Guess who is signed up for fall soccer? Mazen AND me!! He told me he already knows how to play, so we’ll see how this goes : )
I just bought these soccer socks after wearing only black ones for three years.
And these laces for Mazen’s new shoes! He knows how to put on his shoes….until he got a new pair with laces. These are the best solution! I have them for my own shoes and never tie anything.
Delicious things on the internet!
Have lots of peaches on hand? Make these!
And finally, a canned wine I love!! No carbonation – just delicious wine in can form. I LOVE the Pinot Grigio. Perfect for a weeknight when I just want a glass with dinner…or while watching the Bachelorette finale! There is a rosé too….haven’t gotten my hands on it yet as it was sold out. I found these at Ivy Provisions!

Hey, Kath! Do you remember the blog you found the discount code on? These look like a great solution for me-I’m always dropping my phone! No iPhone is safe around me, lol : )
KathEats says
I don’t – it was an Internet black hole of clicks. Take25 code should work though.

On the Utomic.com website, they have a coupon code UTOMIC25 for 25% off the purchase price.

I’m happy to hear I am not the only one who was obsessed with rearranging their bedroom furniture growing up. I think my parents were a little worried about me for awhile 😉
Julie says
What did you think of the Bachelorette’s choice? I didn’t think either of them were suited for Jojo. But I usually have that thought during every finale!
KathEats says
I was disappointed. I thought Robby would make a better life partner, however, we just can’t judge the chemistry and ultimately that’s what’s most important. They sure look happy. I hope it lasts!

I can’t wait to see photos of Mazen playing soccer. I’m sure it’s going to be so adorable!
I know it’s only early morning here but I think I need that wine….yesssss!
Pat says
Thanks for the link on the charging cords. I love the braided ones and have been wanting a longer one as well. Ordering today!
Amanda says
I’m totally loving the canned wine! It’s such a creative idea. I’m glad to hear that your mole removal was much less painful this time around! Have a great weekend!
India says
I LOVE that canned wine is becoming a thing now. It’s so perfect for one serving. I haven’t seen that one, but I’m very curious now. Bought one from Whole Foods that I wasn’t a fan of, so keeping my eyes out for more.
KathEats says
If it was the Westside brand I wasn’t much of a fan either. Didn’t love the fizz!!
India says
It was Presto and it was supposed to have fizz, but it just wasn’t good. I’m glad to know Westside has fizz too – I won’t try it. Sadly, the wine you shared here isn’t available in L.A. yet. Underwood Rose at TJs has been my favorite canned so far, but it’s not single serving. Please keep us updated if you find more!
Faith says
I have to have a cell phone case, too, or I am sure that something might happen to it! The Utomic looks really cool!
I have not seen the preview for the Trolls movie, but know that our kiddos would love it!
That Lemon Avocado Hummus looks amazing! I love avocados & cannellini beans!
Erin Mitchell says
Wondering if you are still happy with the Utomic? I am very temped as I need a case (drop my phone all the time) but don’t really like cases….
KathEats says
I LOVE it!! I just got the iPhone 7 and the rose gold bumpers to match (will be writing about this soon) and love. I hate cases too. I get so excited about the designs, but they are just so clunky. My phone feels super sleek, and I have dropped it about 4 times and so far, so good. I do have the Utomic Glass protector to go with the bumpers in case I hit a rock.
