1. Sugar Cookie Tea (Celestial Seasonings)- a little cookie in every cup. (add some brown sugar)
2. Aquaphor - dry skin, chapped lips, on the eyes, cuts - buy the big tub. Worth every $.
3. Rescue Remedy - Every mom should have a bottle in her purse. For days when you wish it was another type of bottle.
4. Pinterest - If I want to pretend I'm creative and a good cook.
5. Mary Kay anti-aging moisturizer- moisturizer is key, everyday. Seriously.
6. Essie - any color. :) Love them all. Currently wearing Mint Candy Apple on the toes.
7. Piloxing - like 90's Tae Bo except combined with pilates and empowering.

9. M.A.C. nude lipstick. Let's face it - M.A.C. anything.
10. Otterbox for iPhone. I drop my phone a lot. My iphone still looks new. :)
11. Squeezable Applesauce (GoGo Squeez) - best invention for kids. Especially ones who only eat applesauce not at the table.
12. Beco Butterfly 2 - best. baby. item. ever. Gift it to someone! You can carry your kid until they are 70 lbs! ;)
13. Williams-Sonoma Peppermint Bark. I've tried to recreate it. It worked, but still not as good.
14. Netflix - on the wii, tv, ipad, iphone, ipod
15. Holiday movies - Christmas Vacation is my FAV! Halloween is never too early!
16. Hobby Lobby - always a sale, love their decor, I can always find something I love
17. Turkey bacon - healthier, less greasy, leaves you feeling better than the real stuff.
18. Lemon oil or any oil by Aura Cacia - I love LEMONS! Burn it, put it in the bath, rub some on your wrist, add it to your homemade scrub
19. Keyring App - never carry those grocery store reward cards again! :)
20. Saturday Night Live - Laughing reduces stress. Stress is the silent killer. Watch SNL.

22. Black forest cherry caramel apples - trust me. you want one. (no pic. pretty sure I'll have to recreate this myself)
23. Victoria Secret - No secret here. Wear what makes you feel beautiful and girly! Splurge the extra $$ on it - you're worth it!
24. AdvoCare Spark - wanna buy some? I sell it. :) One in the AM, one in the PM - this is how I survive work, kids, etc.
25. Blankets - Since I was little I always loved them. My favorite was given to me by a student in 2007. The tag has worn down so no idea where it came from. It soft and warm on one side and slick and cool on the other. *snuggle*
26. TOMS - Yes, the shoes you buy and someone else gets a pair. It's true. And they are SO comfy. I want to wear them everyday!

30. Criminal Minds - CBS, Wed - I know it's not light hearted but I love mysteries and the characters!
31. Cranberry Orange Scones - a weekly treat over donuts in our house! Kids LOVE 'em! (adults do too!) Easy "fake out" for people who think you slaved in the kitchen. ;)
32. Elf on the Shelf - by far my favorite family holiday tradition. Elf mischief is FUN! :) If you have kids, you NEED ONE!
33. Elderberry Spray - I start it in September! The spray is much more acceptable by the kids, too!
34. FRXtion Sugar Exfoliator and Lip Balm - not all balms are created equal. I've very picky about mine. This is a sugar scrub and lip balm in one! The case has a tiny mirror, too! Always almost sold out when I go in for it.
35. This quote: "We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the ONLY path. ~Paulo Coelho
I have got to try that sugar cookie tea! I've never heard of it....so going to the store this afternoon! LOL
ReplyDeleteI love that peppermint bark too! Have you tried the mint drops from Hickory Farms? To die! They are so popular that other stores like WalMart have started carrying them as well.
MAC is just....heaven. Period. My place in heaven will be a MAC counter with free products. LOL
I have been looking for Christmas Vacation every weekend on TV! It came on several times before Halloween, which was weird. Now, nothing. At least The Grinch was on. There is nothing better than Holiday movies.
Several weeks ago you inspired me to start using my crock pot (that has been sitting in my pantry for 3 years). It was a life saver during Thanksgiving! LOL Now, I'm obsessed with it. I love just throwing a concoction in there are letting it do it's thing. No recipes are needed really, but when you follow the ones on Pinterest you are always pleasantly surprised. So, Thanks for the inspiration!!
Sally's bobby pins - I buy them by the box, and LOVE LOVE LOVE! It was the #1 thing on my list to Santa! LOL Sally's is a great place for so many things that most people forget they need. I love to get Hair So New (helps set your hair before you style it - use when wet), Mint Julep shampoo, and facial clay. It always reminds me of my Granny (she used it in her salon), and
some of the best products from a million years ago that still rock today!
What is AdvoCare Spark?? I'll have to look that up!
I hope you have the best birthday this year, and wish you the greatest of love! Thanks for sharing this. It was a fun read! You're my own little Oprah. hehehhee
Mmmmm.... pomegranates... chocolate bark...
ReplyDeleteHaven't tried Piloxing. Sounds awesome!
Lots of good stuff here. I'm bookmarking this post for sure!
