Day 94

Oh snap! It's that Shamrock Shake time of year again and I need to get my hands on at least one before they go into hibernation for another 350 days. I don't know why I love these little bastards so much but I just do. It could be nostalgia, it helps but I don't think so. They're just really goddamn good. One spring break during college I think I had one every single day that week. Large! Kinda gross...but that was when I was young and naive. A small one is 9 points. Not horrible, but definitely requires some thoughtful planning to work it into my budget.

Easter is the best candy holiday. It's still a little bit early but I'm starting to see those lovely pastel-y wrappers appear. Together, stellar candy and a tangible sign of impeding spring make me so so happy! How will I resist? I guess the right answer is by indulging but not overindulging. When you get down to the nitty gritty, most Easter candy is the same exact candy as it normally is all year long aside from pretty wrappers and fun shapes. Although it splendidly changes up the chocolate to peanut butter ratio of Reese's, these are the types of candy I should avoid. The ones that are super special and only available this time of year: Cadbury mini eggs and coconut bird's nests, those are my target. (Although, I did see those Cadbury mini eggs at Christmas time this year-still 10 months away!, and I've spotted love nests around Valentine's Day and buzzard's nests for Halloween.)
