First, thank you to
Melissa from 320 Sycamore for including me in
her Favorite Things blog tour this year! I loved doing this -
I even asked my family what
they thought my favorite things were!
I wanted this list to be authentic….things I really love, use
and were a part of my life in 2014!
I have included some explanations and links if you
are interested in making MY favorites YOUR favorites!
Volcano CandlesThese candles meet my 'candle standards' in many ways -
They smell good, are in a pretty container and are long lasting.
If you want your home to smell like an Anthropologie store, these are your candles!
I tend to burn a candle every day - I find it calming and it instantly cozies up any space.
BM Revere PewterI would define this neutral paint color as my 'go to' neutral.
Revere Pewter is painted on the walls of many satisfied 2014 clients, enough said.
iPhone 6 PlusI recently upgraded my old iPhone 4 and chose the biggie, iPhone 6 Plus.
Despite my children's complete embarrassment and teasing….I love it. Since I am 40ish,
my eyes have a hard time reading small print and this phone is a great help!
Ugg moccasins My days have been busier this year with my business and my
momma duties….when I come home after a long day, I switch into these fluffy
moccasins and instantly feel cozy and comfortable! Uggs can be pricey but
last forever - totally worth the investment!
Hang and Level ToolI hung many a gallery walls this year and I could not have
done it {without putting a million holes in my client's walls} without this tool.
It's an 'As seen on TV' product which cracks me up.
21-Day FixI am not really overweight but last spring I was feeling
'soft' and really wanted to do something to tweak my eating. I already exercise
regularly but felt like my eating could improve and I desperately needed some
discipline. I joined
Marta's group and did the 21-Day Fix. I stuck with it and
ate NO flour and very little sugar for 21 days. I have continued to really
eat very little flour and have definitely increased my fruit and vegetable intake.
My jeans are looser and more importantly, I feel better!
Noonday JewelryI don't remember when I first learned about Noonday,
but I have purchased pieces over the last couple years from my friend
Paige and
wear them often…..This year, I hosted my first in-home Noonday party with
a
local Noonday Ambassador and definitely increased the number of
pieces in my collection. I love knowing that my jewelry is handcrafted by
artisans that receive a living wage in return for my purchases! Noonday is
changing lives and bringing hope to impoverished countries all over the world,
that is something amazing that I am happy to be a part of!
Starbucks Green Tea LemonadeThis was included at the urging of my teenager……who describes my
love for this drink as an 'obsession'. I can't help myself….
Admittedly, I drank many of these over the summer.
Beauty AidsI am a pretty simple girl when it comes to beauty products.
I try to spend as little time as possible getting ready in the morning….
I love Smashbox's Camera Ready CC cream! It evens out my skin and
gives it a healthy, dewy glow. It's really forgiving an application is super easy.
I recently went pretty short with my hair but will never give up my
Kerastase products! Now, these products are on the pricey side
but I have learned that better products are more concentrated so you
don't need to use as much in your hair. I highlight my hair often and this
product leaves my hair looking healthy and smooth!
Now you can head to over to Elizabeth at
Fresh Plate to see what
are her Favorite Things!
** Also - Melissa is hosting a link-up on Thursday and would like all
of you to post and link YOUR favorite things if you would like!
Please do - inquiring minds want to know!
