Shifting gears on my Top 5 list to focus on shopping. Hello, my name is Kelly, and I have an Amazon addiction. Now, before everyone gets up in arms about Amazon’s labor practices, environmental impact, and how it impacts small businesses, please know that I get it. You could also argue that Amazon’s convenience, variety, affordability, and customer-centric policies make it an attractive option for modern consumers. In any case, you do you! Or, feel free to check out these items at local stores!

Traeger Pellet Grill BBQ Sauces (Texas Spicy/Apricot) - This has really upped my grill game. What I like about the Traeger grills is the evenness you get when grilling meat. I miss the charcoal smell and flavor, but we’ve never had juicer steaks, burgers, or chicken. You can download the app even if you don’t have a Traeger (they have some terrific recipes) or get recipes from their website. A current favorite is the Bourbon BBQ Chicken Kabobs.

Allegro Coffee Organic Espresso Sierra Whole Bean - Ask me to give up soda (I did), drinking (I did that too), and carbs; no problem. Ask me to give up coffee, and we’re gonna have words. My favorite blend to make at home is from Allegro. I tried this coffee after seeing it on a YouTube channel I watch, and I haven’t turned back. I usually order three or four bags at a time. I don't grind my beans daily; I do it weekly.

Casina Rossa Truffle and Salt - Several years ago, my hubby bought me a jar of this salt because we were going through a truffle phase. I’ve sprinkled it on frozen fries, popcorn, and various meats. A little goes a long way.

Archipelago Botanicals Stonehenge Glass Jar Candle - I’ve reordered this candle several times because it’s the best scent, in my opinion. It’s a mix of cedarwood, bergamot, and amber, and it burns evenly for a long time. Sometimes, I don’t even light it. It’s that fragrant.

Fabuxry Crossbody Bag - I’m the first to admit I own a lot of handbags, purses, totes, and what have you. When we were getting ready to go to California in May, I wanted a new crossbody that would fit all my essentials (I carry three pairs of glasses - distance, reading, and sunglasses). Most of my crossbody bags are either too big, too small, too bulky, and not bulky enough. I was so pleased when this arrived because it was the perfect bag. I used it throughout the entire trip (at an all-day music festival and three theme parks) and continue to use it for outings.
