Some of My Favorite Things

I have a lot of favorite things, including my family, friends, and faith. The things on this list are just some fun extras I enjoy. 
One thing we've enjoyed lately is taking Ranger on walks around the neighborhood. It's so interesting to see things through his eyes and see him experience new things. 


Organix Coconut Milk Shampoo & Conditioner
This brand is the least expensive I've seen that doesn't have parabens, sulfates, etc. It doesn't even market itself as "paraben free", I had to browse their website to see for sure. I found it at Target and I love the smell!

Kind bars
A co-worker introduced me to this brand and they're gluten and dairy free and SO good. I've tried these three (along with their "fancier" bars) and they're all good. I eat them as a mid-morning snack after my breakfast smoothie.

Vitamin E Oil
This one has made the list before too, but I love adding it to my lotion and getting great moisture out of it. It also helps heal scars, etc. Here is some info about the benefits of it.

Physicians Formula Eye Makeup
I've had quite a few compliments on this eye makeup my mom got me for Christmas. It's Physicians Formula shimmer smokey eye set for hazel eyes. It helped teach me how to do the smokey eye and has so many color combinations. Love it!

Nut Thins
I take these to work every day as a snack. They are just so good. There are many flavors, but I like Smokehouse - it's gluten/dairy free (not all flavors are dairy free) and I never get tired of them. So good. I put them in my lunch every day.

Enjoy Life Cookies
I get these cookies a lot and enjoy their other flavors too. I really like the Enjoy Life brand - they make the chocolate chips I use for baking too and are very easy for the top food allergens.

Aloe 80 Spray
I've used this styling spray for a few years now to get the beachy spray (quick and easy in the mornings is my priority) look. It doesn't get as firm like hair spray, but I find it gives it volume and body. It doesn't have a scent (I bet you could add an essential oil to add fragrance - I should try that!). I'm not uber picky, but I like this product. We used to get it at Sprouts or our co-op in Minnesota, but we've been ordering it online too.

Honeybee Gardens Water Based Nail Polish
I've used this nail polish (in Burlesque - red) for just about a year now. I was excited to find a "cleaner" polish that doesn't make my nails yellow after a while. This kind doesn't have the chemical smell either. Many people like these kinds (or Piggy Polish) for their kiddos too. I will say it doesn't last as long, chips easier, and is tougher to remove, but I still prefer it to the big bag of other polishes I have.

Here's the one I have, though the color is much more of a true red than this photo shows:


Two Months Until Christmas
I know many of you may be in the one-holiday-at-a-time boat, but Christmas is my favorite time of year and this time of year is when my excitement for the season starts to build. I think I'm ready to get my Pandora Christmas stations back on next week:)

We stopped by Pier 1 last night to check out the holiday decor... swoon... I love Pier 1 during the holidays especially. Ps.. I'm wearing my Burlesque nail polish in this photo too. 
Comment with any things you're enjoying these days!

Yes, this. Exactly:) Being content in this world isn't easy, let's get there together.
