David's Tea - Forever Nuts: I've been on a big hot tea kick recently, and my favorite is this unique herbal blend from David's Tea. It's a mix of nuts, apple pieces, and beet root, and the result is a lovely nutty flavor that is hot pink. I've recently started making a mug of tea every afternoon at work (in addition to my morning tea routine), and this has been the winner.
Luna Bars: I'm an on-the-go person, especially for breakfast and snacks, so these bars have really been coming in handy recently. While I'm not proud that I'm usually so rushed in the morning I'm eating one of these in my car on the drive to work, I love that they are something I can feel good about snacking on.
Spotify: I don't know why I resisted this phenomenal streaming music service so long. For a mere 10 bucks per month, you have access to every album there is, you can access them from your mobile devices, and make & share playlists. I've become familiar with some great new artists (Sea Wolf, Atlas Genius, Alex Winston) and also had an impromptu Wilson Phillips sing-along on the way home from work.
Scandal: One of my favorite activities in life is to binge-watch a TV show, and with the help of Netflix and Hulu+, I've gone through all of the Scandal episodes in the past month. It's compelling with a fantastic cast, and (slight spoiler alert) Scott Foley arrives during the second season, which made my Noel Crane loving heart go pitter-patter.
Trader Joe's Crunchy Cookie Butter: The last time that I bought cookie butter I said "never again", because man, is that stuff good. I managed to go several months without repurchasing until I spied the crunchy variety on the shelf at my local Trader Joe's. Done and done. This is the best on toast, with apples, or (possibly my favorite way) on a spoon.
Naked Basics Palette: I'm certainly a nail polish and lipstick girl, but I've never gotten too into eyeshadow. My makeup bag has 2 tried-and-true little palettes from Wet & Wild, and not much else. But after hearing Ashley & Karin sing it's praises, I splurged on this neutral matte palette. It's right up my alley, because I can experiment a bit while still staying in neutral territory.
After the Jump podcast: My friend Caiti first recommended this podcast to me, and I've been delighted with it ever since. It's hosted by Grace Bonney of Design*Sponge, and each week she interviews someone in the art & design world, or (my favorite) does a solo show on work/life balance and her career.
What have you been loving this month?

Some of my favs this month have been: The Body Shop Strawberry body butter, Victoria's Secret Pure Daydream body spray, Lush BIG shampoo, Maybelline Fuchsia Flash lipstick and Special K cracker chips, oh and I can't forget I've been obsessed with avocados lately (random, I know!)
I loved reading your favorites & agree about Spotify - best money I spend every month. ; )
I'm glad you're enjoying After the Jump! I love her solo episodes the most as well.
