1. Vitactiv Flavor Glides: I hate vitamins. Hate ‘em. Those giant, horrible horse pills - ick. I just can’t get them down without gagging. And here I am pregnant, and I’m supposed to be taking vitamins every day. Tried the prenatals - they made me nauseous and constipated. Just what I want to deal with. And then I got a sample of these viactiv things. They’re slightly smaller than regular vitamins, and they taste good! No, they’re not chewable, but they’ve got some flavor coating on the outside that you taste as you swallow the pill. Man, these things taste so good, I’m tempted just to suck on them (I don’t think I’ll do that though, because I’m sure the taste is pretty awful once the flavor coating wears away!).
2. Neutrogena Honey Rescue Balm: I’m a lip balm whore, and a lip balm snob. I’ve tried most lip balms out there, and I’m very particular about what I’ll actually use. And the only lip balm I’ll use at night (I have to put on a good coating before I go to bed) is the neutrogena honey rescue balm. I love it! Perfect consistancy, lasts just the right amount of time, and is so good on the lips!
3. Kaboom Never Scrub Toilet Cleaner: I despise cleaning. And even more, I despise cleaning the toilets. Especially after 5 months of morning sickness. But these kaboom things are awesome! Install one in the toilet (it does require lifting the tank
lid and removing a hose, but it’s plumbing even the most inept of us can manage) and you get 3 months of a scrub free toilet! If you remember to change the refills every 3 months (they do give you a sticker to put on the toilet to help you remember - not that it’s kept me from forgetting), you’ll never clean your toilet again. Amazing. It’s safe for kids and pets too, though they do recommend not letting your pet drink out of the toilet regularly if you’ve got the thing installed.
4. Pirate’s Booty: Aside from having a really fun name, this snack kicks ass. Seriously, I could eat a bag in a sitting. I love it! Cheesy, yummy, bootilicious goodness, and without the darn popcorn kernals to get stuck in your teeth. Goes easy on my constantly nauseous stomach, and is delicious to boot! Not horrible for you either!
5. Good Humor Chocolate Éclair Bars: Vanilla ice cream, chocolate ice cream and little cakey things, all on a stick. What’s not to like? You used to get them from the ice cream truck, and now you can get them at the grocery store. Of course, that means having 6 (or more!) in your house at once, which may not be a great idea. But hey, not worrying about what you eat is one of the few joys of pregnancy, right?

Ooh, I gotta get those Kaboom things! I love their spray. I use it on my very hard to clean shower (we have the worst hard water ever). Are the toilet things safe on septic systems?
