A few favorite things...

I'm not really an Oprah fan, however , I do look forward to her "Favorite Things" show every year.I mean Oprah is like a kazillionaire and probably enjoys only the best of THE BEST, so whatever makes her favorite things list must be pretty special, right? The sound of Oprah's voice lulled my little man to sleep so I got to watch the whole show in peace and quiet. Overall I was quite impressed. I like how she had deserving people in her audience that got to go home with the goods.

I tried to convince Luke that the holidays would really be merrier if I had THESE sequin uggs on my feet...
Turns out he not only hates sequins...but Uggs too. Guess I won't be getting these for Christmas.

Well, I have a few favorite things of my own (unfortunately, my audience will not be going home with any of these things...sorry.)


Shiseido Eyelash Curler

Cole does some of his best smiling and cooing at 4AM. As much as I like my sleep...I like him more. To hide my sleep deprivation, I use this eyelash curler. It makes my eyes look like they are actually open. I have been on a lifelong quest for flirty, curly, luscious lashes. I have bought every brand of eyelash curler out there. I'm gonna save you the time and the money and tell you now that this one is the best. You're welcome.

Williams-Sonoma olive oil mister

I've spent some time in Italy and have grown to appreciate fine olive oil. Sure, it's good for you, but not the gallon of it I like to drown my salad in. This is ideal for low fat cooking as it sprays foods with just a fine mist of oil. You can also add cheese, garlic, and herbs!

Body Shop: Coconut Body Butter

Imitated but never duplicated. This is THE BEST most yummiest smelling body butter. I've tried others but always come back to this one. It's super thick, but not greasy. It has a delicious coconut fragrance that's not overpowering. Its my summer staple.

OPI Pompeii Purple.

Been lovin this polish for years! I use to wear it on my super long acrylic nails in high school. Now I appreciate more of a natural look. But either way this shade of pinkish/purple looks great against tanned toes in the summer time.

Willamette Valley Vineyards Oregon Blossom.

I usually prefer reds, but wow this is good! It's sweet but not to sweet. Careful ...goes down realllllll easy.

Adjust-a-Button

Moveable buttons. Tacky? Yes, but not as tacky as the safety pin I was using before I found this. This product was a life saver the first months of pregnancy . You can move the top button on your pants up to an inch and a half in either direction. Genius! This could also be very helpful during the holidays when the average American gains 10 pounds. I recently saw a similar version at the dollar store. Although I'm not sure I'd want to trust the dollar store to hold up my pants...


Donna Karan -Cashmere Mist Deodorant

Sure $20 seems like a lot to pay for deodorant. But can you really put a price on dry underarms? This deodorant works great and smells great too.

TIGI S Factor -Body Boosting Plumping Spray

You know how smell evokes memory in a way that no other sense can? Well I used this for the first time on my honeymoon to Tahiti. Now every time I use it, it takes me back to Bora Bora. If you spray this on your hair and let it air dry it adds a lot of texture and does this messy/sexy/wavy thing.

And now.... my most favorite thing of all...

Sorry, there's only one of him and he's all mine!
