Wednesday Faves Week #32

Good morning!  I woke up very early, but I had all of my Faves picked out yesterday so I decided to get them to you first thing!

1) I love this song, Have It All, by Jason Mraz.  I honestly don't think you can listen to it and not feel happy, feel your cares melt away, and put a spring in your step.  As a matter of fact, I watched the video and listened to the song just before writing this post, and I think I set the tone for a really good day!  If you haven't heard it, I encourage you to listen to it today and perhaps even watch the video.  

2) I am blown away (no pun intended, ha, ha!) by this hair dryer.  I'm not going to lie, it is expensive!  A little back story: For several months I have been struggling with thinning hair.  I think things are turning around now, but I have been willing to spend more money on things for my hair to try and get things turned around. I had wanted to try the Dyson hair dryer everyone is raving about, but it is $399!  I said, NO WAY.  This Drybar Buttercup hair dryer is about half that, so still pricey, but I wanted to give it a try.  Y'all, yesterday I was running late for an appointment (story of my life), so I just quickly used this dryer for the first time to get my hair dry.  I can't tell you how wonderful my hair felt after I finished.  Thick and full.  How can this be?  I mean, it's just a little machine that blows out air...can different hair dryers really make a difference?  This one sure did!  Now I'm anxious to spend some time using a round brush with it to dry/style my hair.

3) I am loving this chocolate flavored Muscle Milk and I've never even tasted it, ha, ha!  A friend had recommended another ready made protein shake that my husband really liked.  When he had his appointment at the Cooper Clinic, the nutritionist told him that the particular shake he was drinking was kind of a waste (and it was super expensive) because it had more protein in it than his body could use at one time.  So I began searching for a more cost effective ready made protein shake with a bit less protein than the current one.  Enter Muscle Milk.  Walt loves the way it tastes, the amount of protein in it, the cost, and the convenience of ready made.  And THAT'S why it's one of my Faves!

4) I want to see the benefits of essential oils, I really do.  So I asked my friend, Donna, what were her favorite oils and uses for those oils.  She said hands down her favorite oil is Peppermint.  She sent me some information on uses for Peppermint Oil and I, ironically, read this while in the allergist office for my allergy shots: 

I circled the part in green and sent it back to her saying, "Ummmm, she reads this while she's sitting in the allergist's office..." So, I did some research online for oils for allergies and found the concoction of Lemon, Lavender, and Peppermint which I will be diffusing for the next several days and nights.  Fingers crossed that maybe this will work!  It smells good, that's for sure.

Have a wonderful day!  I hope you "Have It All"! ;)

Friday Faves

  While I did get some random submissions for Faves this week (Larry’s will never happen), I remained on my own. 1) SHOWKOO Luggage Set  I got this luggage set for my upcoming trip (we leave Sunday) because I need to take the carry on and the duffle with me on the plane. I’m trying this duffle in lieu of my usual backpack. I’m excited about it, and hope it’s still a favorite after the trip! 2) Survivor Season 48  While it wasn’t our favorite season premiere, we LOVE Survivor in this house and we love watching it together! 3) Govee Lights  We recently added a bar in our house and my contractor made this light box and used Govee lights. We already have Govee lights around our TV so I was familiar with them and I love them! They can change colors, be put on a timer, etc., all from my phone. There’s a little glitch with this set, so they are going to be replaced, but they still make me squeal every time I walk into the room. 4) Shut the Box Game  My family, as usual...

  Finally home and settled from our Australia/New Zealand adventure. My Faves this week were awesome for me while traveling! 1) Power Plug Adapter  We have used many different plug adapters while traveling, but these were the best we have used! With one adapter we were able to charge everything and I could even curl my hair, ha, ha! Highly recommend! These were compatible in Australia/New Zealand, so I’m hopeful to find some for our next travel adventure, 2) Rothy’s Sneakers  I may have posted these before, but I love love love them when traveling. I own two pair and took them both with me.  3) One Step Behind by Lauren North  I listened to this book (and two others) while on this trip. I had never listened to a book by this author, and I really enjoyed the book. Unique plot for sure. 4) Coach Sling Bag  This might be my favorite of all Faves! I purchased this specifically for my trip to wear on tours/excursions, and I loved it! It has two zippered compartm...

Friday Faves Cabo Edition

Today I’m in Cabo, traveling with my little Andy for the first time. Doing my Faves while he naps.   1) The Business Trip by Jessie Garcia  I’m not even sure how I found this book, and it seems to be the first one she’s written, but it was SO good! I listened to it and there was a full cast of narrators so it was like a performance. Loved the ending! Thought I had it figured out but I was wrong. 2) happyhappyhouseplant on IG  This is my current favorite account on IG. Her name is Mandi Gubler and she is awesome! I literally do not have one live plant in my house, but I’m obsessed with her and almost feel like I could try one! What I like best about her is that her IG stories aren’t long, and she’s very informative and encouraging. Some people I follow go on and on and tell you every minute of their day. I don’t take the time to listen to those people anymore. Highly recommend @happyhappyhouseplant on IG! 3) Apple Watchband from Quince  I love this silver watchband. I...
