My 12 Favorite Things for 12-12-12

My 12 Favorite Things For 12-12-12


Hey!
Melissa at 320 Sycamore has a party going on!  I decided to join in the fun and post 12 of my favorite things.  

1. IPhone :  What would I do without it?! Enough said.



2. Penguin Classic Books:  I'm one of those rare people that prefer a real book to my Kindle.  I like the way a real book feels in my hand and how it smells and I like to write in my books.  I just don't get the same experience with the Kindle.  I've asked Santa for the Penguin Classics.  Beautiful books and affordable, in fact, I think they're under $20.

3. J. Jill boyfriend jeans:  These jeans are so comfortable and roomy.   The cuff turns up but you can turn it down and go cuff-less.  J. Jill was so nice about not stitching the cuff in or shortchanging the length.  Thank you!

4. Kraft Jet Puffed Mallow Bits:  I just discovered these marshmallow bits and they're awesome for hot chocolate.  They're really cute and petite --- about the size of a pea.  I think they might be  dehydrated marshmallows.  Anybody know??

5. NIV Study Bible leather bound:  I teach Bible study and Sunday School and I give my bible a work out so I prefer a leather bound.  I like this version for teaching because I find it's easier for people in different places of their faith journey to understand.

6. The Pioneer Woman Cookbooks:  New favorites that I found this year.  I know... I'm slow to the party.  We've loved everything that I have cooked out of these books.  She also has lots of pictures and stories about her family in the cookbook, too.  If I had to pick one recipe, I think Taco Pizza.  Yummy!

7. Aspen Bay Capri Blue candle in Volcano:  My daughter and I would smell this candle every time we went in our Anthropologie store so eventually, I bought one.  I'm sensitive to many smells and usually stick with vanilla but this one does not bother me.  In fact, I bought a diffuser this fall. 

 

8. CeraVe moisturizing cream:  My favorite lotion hands down:  nice and thick without being greasy.



9. Pixi Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer & Concealer: This moisturizing tint makes my makeup routine super- de- duper quick.  The top has an exact match concealer and the tint is light not heavy with SPF 20.  Everything you need in a tube to give you some color!  I buy it at Target.

10.  Movies :  A favorite family activity is popcorn and a movie so I thought I'd share two of our favorite Christmas versions of A Christmas Carol.  My Honey Do likes the George C. Scott and I like The Muppets which has fun catchy tunes!

11. Mrs. Meyers All Purpose Cleaner :  This cleaner is not harsh.  I happen to like the lavender one but they carry other fragrances as well and so much better than ammonia which knocks you out.  I ordered mine from Amazon but I think Target carries it.

 12.  Glow in the Dark Stars:  For your bedroom ceiling.   I have given them to my friends as gifts and I'm sure they shook their heads and thought I was crazy when I wasn't around but when you look up at them at night you can't help but smile.  You're camping inside in your warm soft bed.

  2. What a great list! Several of my favorites are on here too. I prefer to read my high schoolers' youth Bibles, though, because they are right on my level. :)

  4. Great list! You are the 3rd person that said I have to get that Volcano candle from Anthro. I'm starting to believe everyone! ;) I also love Mrs. Meyers' products - the Lemon Verbena scent is my current fave. I just started seeing those Penguin classics books in the hardcovers - I'm a sucker for old books, too! I'll have to see if they have one for Little Women - my favorite.

    Visiting from 320 Sycamore! :)

  5. I've never heard of the marshmallow bits, but they sound great. I love drinking hot chocolate at this time of year.

    1. Hey Meghan! I hadn't either until this year. I saw them on a blog--I think it was Paige Knudsen's Simple Thoughts. They're a fun switch from larger marshmallows.
      A very Merry Christmas to you and thanks for dropping in to visit!
