My Favorite Things…Right Now

Drag Race Ma-ru-thon

In the build-up to the premiere of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 4, Logo is airing a ma-ru-thon of all previous seasons.  It has been awesome to relive some iconic runway moments, the hilarious Snatch Games, epic lip syncs and of cause, tons of shade.  It’s also fascinating to see how far the show has come from its first season (without decent editing, sound and lighting – what the hell was up with the misty Krystle Carrington-esque filter for the runway part of the show) to the Emmy Award-winning phenomenon it is today.  I can’t wait for the next group of queens to start their engines.

Häagen-Dazs Crispy Trio Layers

As if Häagen-Dazs wasn’t tempting enough, I have discovered the Crispy Trio Layers range, which has creamy ice-cream sandwiched between layers of crispy Belgian chocolate.  Naturally the coconut, caramel and chocolate flavour caught my eye.  Heavenly on a waffle – or just on a spoon straight out of the carton.

Pillsbury Honey Butter Biscuits

Mmm mmm mmm.  These fluffy and flaky biscuits are the perfect accompaniment to a breakfast (with butter and jam) or a Southern-inspired meal with fried chicken and gravy.

Bath and Body Works' Holiday Fragrances

Bath and Body Works always has the most heavenly scents when it comes to their seasonal body washes, hand soaps and moisturizers and this year’s Christmas offerings are winners.  Some of my current favourites are: Twisted Peppermint, Spiced Gingerbread Swirl, Vanilla Bean Noel, Frosted Coconut Snowball and Marshmallow Flurries.

Pfeffernüsse 

These tiny melt-in-your-mouth spice cookies (usually with cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and cardamom) are popular Christmas treats in Germany, Denmark and The Netherlands and go perfectly with a soothing cup of tea on a chilly winter’s evening.
