The Candee Dish

  Home sweet home! I was ready to be home from this last trip for sure, but a couple of Faves this week were lifesavers while traveling. 1) Vionic Rejuvenate Recovery Sandals  My knees have been bothering me for a couple of weeks and I was worried about traveling to Portugal, so I threw these in my suitcase. I actually didn’t wear them until the last day when we were traveling home (they aren’t the most attractive). We had to literally sprint through the Madrid airport to make our connection, and they saved me. My knees felt fine on the plane and pretty good when I got home. I hate wearing shoes, but I’ve been making myself wear them around the house, and my knees feel so much better. I just ordered some black ones. 2) Travel Fan  I bought this years ago for traveling after a pretty warm airplane. I have since bought about 5 more and have handed them out to my family members. At first they made fun of me, but have sent me photos of them using the fan on the airplane. I ma...

  I’ve been home for almost two weeks, and I missed my snack jars and my light remotes, plus I read a great book and we have been watching a great series on TV. 1) The Agency Season 2  While we haven’t finished this yet, we are loving it! Season 1 started a little slow, and the main character is so “measured” in his words and actions, but it’s really a great show! 2) Snack Jars  My inspo for these snack jars was the Traitors kitchen in the Scottish castle. 😂 I love them (and need to refill them). The good news is that I’m not really a snacker, so I can keep these out for everyone else.  3) Light Remotes  I love love love my light remotes! I have gifted them to so many people because I think everyone should have them! 4) Watching Alice by Sue Watson  I hurriedly picked up this book, not expecting much, but it was really good!  There are really so many more Faves from being at home: We had some great family time, got to see and spend time with our newes...

Time for my Faves! I almost posted my rechargeable lights again, they are so great I love them everyday!    I’m bringing you some, Elizabeth! 1) CYKLAR Body Oil in Vanilla Verve  A friend of mine told me about this body oil in a different scent. I’m not a vanilla girl, but one of the reviewers said it was a different, more grown up vanilla, and she was not wrong! I love this scent and it goes on nicely and you don’t feel oily all day. 2) The Night Manager  I don’t know how we missed this series the first time around (2016). I guess we weren’t really sitting down for shows back then. We have finished Season 1. We started Season 2 which actually came out January of this year. Ten whole years later. It’s really good too. I wonder if we’ll have to wait until 2036 for Season 3… 3) Steve Madden BigMona Raffia Sandals  My daughter in law, Corinne wore these on our trip to Kenya last year, and I had to copy her. Honestly, I didn’t wear them for the first 10 months I had...

Here are this week’s Faves:   1) Rhode Pocket Blush   I love these blushes! Sprinkle is my current favorite color. 2) Stars+Honey Protein Bars  My friend Susan turned me onto these because I don’t really like to eat breakfast and she INSISTS I get more protein in my diet. I like a lot of the flavors, but maybe Birthday Cake Chocolate Chip is my current favorite. 3) Tobeape 3-Pack LED Night Lights w/Motion Sensor   I actually purchased these from Amazon Mexico because the cabinets are SO dark it’s like looking for things in a black hole. They are attached to my interior cabinet walls with magnets so very easy to move and recharge (I love the 3-light charging station). It’s so nice now when I open my cabinets I can see what I’m looking for! 4) SLOOSH 2-Pack Hammock Pool Floats  These are my favorite pool floats! My friend Kim brought them for us on one of our girl trips and now I won’t use anything else. I don’t lay out on lounge chairs very well, I’d rather be in...

It has been a minute since I have posted Faves, but I am loving these things SO much, I may have to start doing Faves again.    1. ZO Skin Health Growth Factor Serum  My friend works for ZO Skin Health and she got me started using this line. She told me all the steps I needed for gorgeous skin 🤪 and this is my FAVORITE of all of the products. I love the cute container, the way it pumps out, the smell and the way it goes on my skin. I get strangely excited for this step in my nighttime skincare routine. 2. tarte shape tape blur concealer stick brush  Facebook got me on this one. I saw a demonstration and it looked amazing. Definitely too good to be true, but I took the bait. I have been beyond struggling with concealers for years, so I tried the tarte concealer and this stick brush. It is AMAZING! I dare say that even a monkey could use this with good results. I use the tart concealer and then literally just brush this all under my eyes. It looks so smooth! Does not ...

What I have been loving lately:   1) Google Mail App  So grateful to my son Harrison for turning me onto this app! I had been complaining about my current overload of junk emails, and he told me he used Google Mail and had folders. I downloaded it, and was skeptical at first. I didn’t feel comfortable that I could find everything, but kept playing around with it, and now my life has been changed! Checking email is so simple and quick now! I did “over clean” my inbox, but I’ll be able to retrieve items if I really need them. Harrison always seems to have life changing “hacks” for me! Thanks, bud! 2) Merit Beauty Double Cleanse Face Wash  I stumbled upon this as well as a serum and moisturizer. I LOVE the face wash, like the serum, and feel meh about the moisturizer. The face wash and serum give me a glow. Goodness knows, I could use a good glow. Ha! 3)   BlinkBetter Better Lids Ointment  This stuff is wonderful! I think from Lash Serums or harsh eye make up remov...
