One of my favorite shows, as I'm sure like most, was ALWAYS Oprah's Favorite Things episodes. OMGoodness. The candles, the robes, the skin care products were always so amazing and always made me drool.
Now, even though my bank account is lacking somewhat compared to Oprah, I would love to try a little something here called Kenya's Favorite Things!!! *Cue fans cheering wildly, screaming, clapping, running, crying, fainting, jumping, hugging, and "church shouting"...
And the first?
Come on now...Was this really a surprise? If you are among those that have not yet gotten on the iPad bandwagon, go ahead and jump on. I LOVE my iPad. The magazines, the apps, the feeling of gliding my fingers across that smooth lit screen. Too far?
Anyway, definitely something you should think about picking up...
Number 2...
Love, love, love my Talbots boots!!! Talk about versatile. I can wear them with dresses, leggings, skirts, jeans. The possibilities are endless. I also love that the more you wear them, they start to get this cool "worn and weathered" look that I adore, like you've just come in from the stables, even if you've just been baking brownies for the church social.
Next?
My Himalayan Trading Post candle!!! And the funny thing is that I think I love every...single...scent. I also love how long these candles last...So great! These candles were the first to let me know that I would NEVER buy a Walmart candle again (sorry Walmart).
I am truly feelin' my Calvin Klein cable knit throw I bought about a month ago! It is SO soft and comfy, like it just surrounds you! If there is one thing I can't stand...it's a rinky dink throw or blanket that barely covers my ankles. This is NOT that. It's large enough to cover me, but not to huge enough to make it feel bulky. And if for nothing else, it makes an amazing cover for all those jello stains on your sofa when company comes!!!
Number 5, you ask...
Back to Nature Nantucket Blend. Since I started running, I've been trying to eat A LOT healthier, and this blend definitely helps with that. I won't call it trail mix, because some of those, I've found, can pack almost 300 calories a serving!!! This blend is 100% natural. Cholesterol free, NO salt added, and a great source of vitamin E. It contains almonds, cranberries, cherries, raisins, and pistachios...So you know it tastes good!
I really love candles, so I actually have two on my list this year...
Believe it or not, Further candles are made from purified waste grease from Mario Batali's MOZZA Restaurant!!! Crazy right? Talk about being green. They also mix in oils of bergamot, olives, and exotic grasses. Now available at the shop...
Next on the list?
My Body Shop hemp loofah!!!!!!!!!! I am exclaiming that this is, by far, the best loofah that I have ever bought...in my life. Period. I love that it even exfoliates my feet and can really make any body wash go a long way...
Well, I think that's about it for now. I'm sure I'll be doing something today or tomorrow and realize I missed something that definitely belongs on this list. Anyway, I was kinda thinking...shouldn't everything we buy for ourselves be "favorite things"...
Enjoy the day!!!
That throw, scented candle & iPad 2 - all up my lane:-)
