This week’s Wish List Wednesday item is the Cotton Candy Grape. Yes, you read correctly, there are really grapes, that you can buy in your grocery store, that are all natural and taste like cotton candy. EXACTLY LIKE COTTON CANDY!!!!!! But, rather than their sticky carnival counterpart, they are a fresh fruit that you can snack on all day long!! These grapes are all the buzz from Good Morning America, to the Today show to Ryan Seacrest’s show. They are only available from August 10-September 20th, so don’t wait too long to try them!
And before we know it, our view will change to this!! Enjoy these last two weeks of summer!!!!
Since my reading pile has been growing, I thought I would take a break and tell you about two amazing movies I saw over my vacation on Amazon prime.
The first was Two Night Stand (R). The story is an “online hook up turns into a morning after disaster, when a paralyzing blizzard hits the city forcing two strangers to get to know each other far beyond the confines of a typical one-night stand”. You can watch this fun (a few inappropriate parts but overall cute) movie for $2.99 HERE

The second movie was Before We Go (PG-13). This is the story of “two strangers whose chance encounter in Grand Central Station sparks a nighttime adventure through New York City that will change their lives forever”. You can watch this wonderful movie before it hits theaters HERE.
My talented sponsor Hilary of Hilary’s Table posted a recipe of a New England Style Lobster Roll. Just recently, my friend Maura and I, split a Lobster Roll. We started talking about different recipes!!! Maura, this is for you. I cannot wait to try this recipe together!! XO
