What I’m totally missing from the United States right now…

And yes, I am procrastinating like crazy today. I really need to get working. Instead I decided to have a tablespoon of Nutella and make a Photoshop collage.

1. Baby carrots.
2. Rosebud Salve.
3. Mario Badescu drying lotion.
4. My New York magazine subscription. Especially for knowing that every Monday night was reserved for me-time with the crossword at the back of the mag.
5. The Atlantic Monthly, which I didn’t subscribe to, but bought pretty regularly.
6. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Not like I really eat these more than once or twice a year…but not being able to have them makes me crave them.
7. Pinkberry. I might just try out this “My-Berry” business they have going on in Paris, but I’m slightly afraid. Furthermore…Pinkberry DELIVERY. Best. Thing. Ever.
8. My regular face wash, Clean & Clear deep clean cream cleanser. (Try saying that five times fast.)
9. Hulu. And Netflix.

I can send you some Reese’s and Rosebud Salve from London if you like (they sell the latter at American Apparel here). My own list would be much less glamorous: the L’eggs black microfiber tights they sell for $5 at Duane Reade; Smuckers seedless blackberry jam; Karo syrup; cornbread stuffing; my preferred lady times product; that pre-shredded pre-ziploc’ed monterey jack cheese for nachos.

Leo, you are a fancy lady and I am… from Oklahoma.

P.S. Oh wait, also the New Yorker and 30 Rock.

P.P.S. And Kiehl’s tea tree oil shampoo. Okay, I’m not entirely a Kraft Foods-craving knuckle-scraper.
