This is a Weight Watchers recipe I have used for over ten years. It’s great to have on hand for when you are hungry but out of points. But it’s also yummy good for when you just want some warm soup. I have a friend who swears by this soup in her weight loss journey. The picture is not that pretty, so I opted to just give you photos of the ingredients you will need. I’m sure you can find chicken broth without seeing a picture of it!

Weight Watchers Potato Soup

• 1 bag frozen hash browns (pepper and onion flavor – Ore-ida Potatoes O’Brien)
• 2 cans fat free chicken broth
• 1 pkg Pioneer Fat Free country gravy mix

Simmer potatoes and chicken broth 10 minutes. Mix gravy with 1 cup cold water, add to potatoes and cook until thick.

You can also mix the gravy with the chicken broth and pour into crock pot with hash brown potatoes and heat on low for a few hours while you are out of the house.

1 cup = 1 point

Have you gotten the memo about this? There is now a line of Razors that have the shaving gel built in. Now it is super SUPER easy for me to shave in the shower. Before the water in the shower would make the gel run off before I could finish.

The Venus Built-In Shave Gel Razor is fantastic. That is, once I figured out that I originally had the blade in backwards and nothing was shaved. I’m really smart like that. The Venus Built-In Shave Gel Razor comes in both refillable and disposable razors so you are sure to find one just for you.

If you scroll to the bottom of this page there is a chart showing all the different Venus built-in razors and what they do. I tried to paste it but it didn’t work. There are several kinds.  I have the Spa Breeze. There is an Oil of Olay that I probably would have purchased at my drugstore if I had seen it. Nonetheless, I am very happy with the one I have, and can purchase the Olay refills once I am out.

Love me some Etsy. I’ve blogged about Etsy before. It is an online shopping site where talented artists can sell their wares. Or crafts. Or clothes. Or vintage items. The possibilities are endless.

Today I thought I would focus on Valentine gifts from Etsy.

Love this wreath from Privileged Door.

Or a cute tshirt for a toddler from SewCloseToTheEdge.

A set of four hair clips from yaeldesigns1.

And there is an abundance of Heart Necklaces from lots of vendors.

How about some chocolate covered oreos from SugarMamasChocolates? Yes please!

What about a personalized iPhone case from Arete? Be still my heart.

You can also find cupcake toppers, party decorations, cards, art, etc., etc., etc. I could spend all day on etsy. What about you?

If you are still keeping your New Year’s resolution to lose weight, may I suggest the line of Thinner Digital Scales. I have had mine for over 10 years and it is STILL accurate. It weighs me the same as the doctor’s office and Weight Watchers. I love the digital scales so much better than the analog because there is no fudging on the weight.  It will tell you exactly how much you weigh.  Right there in black and white!

Love the Teak one.

The Brushed Aluminum and Glass is also tres chic.

Thinner is a line from Conair. As long as you see “Thinner” on the scale somewhere, it’s a good ‘un. I purchased one for my son that was glass. It measured his body weight and BMI and all that fancy stuff. I just need to know how much I weigh. So I can decide if I can have a cupcake. Or not.
