Now that Starbucks provides free internet with a registered card, you can save yourself a breath or two with a customized card that shows your regular beverage of choice.

There is a small fee, but it’s so much more fun to carry around a card that you designed yourself.

I’ve been asking my connections with this establishment to include a feature that can add images. Now wouldn’t that be cool?

This is also a great and practical gift.

Next time you’re at Target, head on over to the cereal aisle and pick up an Archer Farms Cereal or two. No more fussing with bags inside boxes because of their brilliant packaging. Cereal tastes great and fresh! It’s the future of cereals. My fave is the Strawberry Yogurt Granola Flakes - I’ve eaten this same cereal almost every morning for months and I still can’t get enough of it!

That means Margot… Congratulations! You’ve won a $20 Target gift card! Please submit your mailing address under “About Grace” to claim your prize.

Thank you to everyone who commented and participated in the fun!

It feels like I’m traveling in a time warp because I have no idea where the time has gone!

If you haven’t noticed already, Grace Picks has a brand new look and logo! With the new look, images will be upgraded as well. I will be taking pics with a point-and-shoot instead of my iPhone.

To celebrate, if you leave a comment on this post by the end of today, I will randomly choose a winner to receive one of the items on my ‘gracelist’! Hooray for celebrations!

Speaking of nü…

The nüvi® 350 and I are good friends. It’s dependable, helpful, and thoughtful. I even tell people that nüvi saved my marriage since it helps prevent some arguments on the road. ;)

It’s the perfect solution for everyone because we all know that men hate asking for directions but they love gadgets. And this device is especially great for people who travel a lot.

I recently saw one of their clever ads that marketed to nüviweds [newlyweds]. Now, I’m just waiting for them to come out with a live traffic feature… and to do my laundry.

I’m not a huge tea person, but I love green tea, especially from MyGreenTea! My favorite is Genmai Matcha [includes rice kernels and popped rice]. A lot of my friends became fans of this particular one after trying it as well.

I get Genmai Matcha 50-3gm tea bags for home and Genmai Matcha 50-2gm tea bags to take on travels. You can get it directly from them or at your local store for you Seattleites. It’s a little on the pricier side, but totally worth it!

I’ve been using these paper towels for years, and others that I’ve tried thus far pale in comparison to the quality and thickness of Viva. I’m not a big fan of wiping things off the counter with *insert noun* seeping through. It’s a bonus that the name is inspirational.

Here’s a coupon since we all need to save somewhere because of the outlandish gas prices.

For the longest time, I carried a mini lint roller around in a Ziploc bag but that was definitely not cool. When I discovered these pocket pack lint sheets, I had one of those “Why didn’t I think of that?” moments.

I use them mostly at weddings since lint and fuzz tend to show up and cling onto groom|groomsmen tuxedos and suits.

This product is slim and handy to keep in your purse, glove compartment, or wherever you want. Here’s a coupon while you’re at it.
