Every Saturday morning we pack up the kids and go grocery shopping at Bluewater in Redcliffe. Here are 10 reasons why I love grocery shopping.
1. The coffee we grab from Zarraffa's to take around with us;
2. The challenge of guiding a trolley with wonky wheels. It's like a butt workout, but it usually works out one cheek more than the other;
3. All the gorgeous seasonal fruit and vegetables. Thanks to Masterchef I am even more inspired by them. It's such a pity they just end up wilted at the bottom of my crisper;
4. Because I see and hear so many screaming children. It reminds me how wonderful my girls are;
5. The warm bread from the bakery. I love fresh bread so much I want to cuddle and breast feed it;
6. Smelling all the cleaning products. I love this aisle. I open and smell all of them until I find my scent of the week;
7. Just the knowing that all my cupboards will be fully stocked;
8. The little treats I can find for my girls in the Stationery aisle;
9. The little treats I can find for my dog in the pet aisle; and
Most importantly....
10. The little treats I can find for myself in the beauty aisle.....
The products mentioned in the above vlog are:

ReplyDeleteThank you Sarah, the lip stain is fantastic!! I hope you like it as much as I do. I am going to hunt down the Sukin Rosehip oil too. Rachel x
DeleteI loathe grocery shopping. Thankfully hubster is the shopper in our household, although he seems to be mostly allergic to buying fruit & veg - but that's ok, I don't mind just buying that!
ReplyDeleteDon't you have an awesome husband. I am a little jealous!
DeleteOh yes, coffee is one of pros of grocery shopping, I concur!
ReplyDeleteI too buy most of my beauty products from the supermarket. I love Neutrogena's Swedish Formula hand moisturiser, Bio Oil and Vaseline Intensive Lotion. My top 3.

The vaseline intensive lotion is excellent. I use that too. I will have to get my well moisturised hands on the other products you suggested. Rx
