A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

… 10 to be exact.

I’ve noticed that this year I have found a few things that I will 100% vouch for, whether that be skincare that I freaking love, or a cookbook that has been a huge hit, or a piece of our home gym that is used over and over! I thought I would share these things with you all in hopes that you love them as much as I do!

1. ONE LOVE ORGANICS CLEANSING SOLID + BOTANICAL E SERUM 2. MY BKR 1 LT BOTTLE 3. NORDICTRACK SELECT-A-WEIGHT DUMBBELLS 4. DRYBAR DOUBLE SHOT BLOW DRYER BRUSH + SOUTHERN BELLE VOLUMIZING MOUSSE 5. FACE HALO MAKEUP REMOVER PADS 6. MAGNOLIA TABLE COOKBOOK 7. BRIM POUR-OVER COFFEE MAKER 8. AIR PODS 9. BALA BANGLES 10. HEARTH & HAND FIRESIDE CANDLE

1. One Love Beauty Products – you guys I cannot tell you how much I freaking LOVE this combination! It is legit one of the best parts of my day, and gets makeup off better than ever! I always use the cleansing solid, followed by #5 (face halo’s), cleanse my face then finish with the serum. Best yet? 70% of the cleanser and 93% of the serum is from organic farming!!

2. Not only is this water bottle adorable? But it is a great size to reuse over and over again without having to refill every five minutes 😀

3. These dumbbells are the best for home gyms because in just two square feet you’ve got 10 – 55 pounds of dumbbells! They are super durable and really easy to change, plus they have a 2.5 – 5 lb add-on too!! They have been great in our home gym.

4. This dryer brush has actually made me love drying my hair! Seriously that used to be the worst part of styling my hair and now I freaking love it! I actually wore my hair down/straight the other day, WHICH I never do! Combine it with the Southern Bell volumizing mousse? MAN! I can literally see the difference between days that I do and days that I don’t use the mousse. Adds just enough lift to give my hair a nice boost.

5. These need no introduction, because… well, I’ve already talked about them. Let’s just do the math here, okay? You could spend $22 on 114 ct. Neutrogena Makeup Removing Towelettes, OR you could spend $22 on 3 Face Halo’s that give you around 3,000 washes!! Now, THAT is math I can do! Each Face Halo you can wash 200 times, but you can get about 4-5 uses in between each wash. And these get off more makeup than any other product I have ever used! Don’t even get me started about how bad they are for the environment: made of non-biodegradable plastic fibers, massive sewage backups, and they can end up in our oceans and choking/killing wildlife. Need I say more?

6. I used this cookbook almost solely for Christmas this year! Every single thing that I have made has been so dang delicious and a huge hit with anyone that I make it for. I highly suggest it.

7. When you taste the coffee made by the pour-over method instead of your Keurig, you will never want to go back. Now, I still use my Keurig a ton because of how quick and easy it is, but when I want a really good cup of coffee, I use this bad boy!

8. I resisted on the Air Pods for a while, I always used those bluetooth headphones that wrapped around the back of your head when I worked out. I never anticipated Apple making a set of headphones that you could work out in because their old ones, well, sucked! But I run in these and do HIIT workouts and they are amazing! Even when I want to do yard work and listen to my podcasts!

9. I post about these bangles in my stories all the time because I use them several times a week during core workouts. Even when I want a little extra to my leg work when I’m doing bodyweight tabata work, these bad boys are probably wrapped around my ankles/wrists at some point!

10. I have five of these candles currently in my house, two in storage, one currently burning, and two already burned through. This is THE scent of our home for this time of year. And of course it’s by Magnolia… duh!!
