The Candee Dish

Good morning.  So, I'm going to be honest with you: I'm kind of cranky this morning.  This rain.  Where did it come from? I loaned my car to my son today and had plans to walk all over Coppell, to my Pure Barre class, and my hair appointment, etc. When it rains it pours (pun intended), as several other little annoyances seem to be knocking at my door.  I gotta get a grip and I definitely need to take my own advice and listen to #1 on repeat. Ironically, or maybe not, I picked my Faves yesterday, before my grumpy day and attitude began! 1) joy. I love this song by for King & Country.  When I listened to it for this blog entry, I watched the video.  It's pretty good too!  But, you need to listen to this song!  You may start dancing around like you are in The Greatest Showman (I actually had to go and check to be sure this song wasn't on the soundtrack), but hopefully, you'll listen to the words.  It's so simple: choose joy. Good stu...

It's Faves' time!  Love these! 1) Lancome Chocolate Eyeliner.  For years and years I have used an Origins Eyeliner.  I used to keep many in stock at once so I would never run out.  Recently, Origins decided to reformulate their eyeliners and wouldn't relaunch for over a year.  What?! Why?! I must have tried 10 different eyeliners, most were too tough on my eyelids (I don't use liquid eyeliner) and finally I stumbled upon Lancome.  I love this eyeliner almost as much as my beloved Origins!  I may have found my new eyeliner.  Lancome, please do not discontinue!! 2) Market Street Classic Chicken Salad.  I had been craving this stuff, so Walt went and got some for me on Saturday.  It is my favorite Chicken Salad.  I went back yesterday to get some more for my lunches this week.  It is so yummy! 3) Lifetime Series called You.  My daughter, Hayley, told me about this one.  I actually had the book on my readin...

It's Wednesday!  It's rainy!  Let's get right to it: 1) Liquid Sunshine.  Although I have been using my Three Drops of Life water bottle non stop, I decided this week was a good time to pull out this Liquid Sunshine cup.  It's bright colors make me happy on these rainy days!  I purchased it on a whim (I needed it like I need a hole in the head) while on my trip to Oregon.  I love it! 2) She's My Sweet Potato. I Yam.  I am obsessed with these shirts!  I think Walt and I need them in our lives.  I'm not sure we could rock them quite like these cuties do, but I would be willing to try.  Walt? 3) Meal prep.  I love meal prepping my lunches!  It makes me feel so accomplished and together.  When I meal prep lunches and don't have to think about what to eat I not only save money, but I eat better!  I also LOVE these containers.  They are glass with a plastic lid and the perfect size. 4) Flannel Room Sp...

Got some Faves for ya, and a couple of them are free! I've heard I've been costing some of you some money, ha, ha!  Wish I was getting kickbacks from the stuff y'all buy, but alas, I am not.   1) The Last Thing I Told You.  I found this book by accident, or rather, while looking for something else. I thought it sounded good, and I was RIGHT!  It was very "psychological".  I could actually picture the characters when I read about them.  Great job, Emily! This might be my favorite book so far in 2018 (the one I'm currently reading sure isn't). 2) Finley snuggles.  I arrived home from Kauai at 5 am on Tuesday and lounged in the bed for the better part of the morning.  It may or may not have been prolonged by Miss Finley wanting a little extra TLC.  How can you resist this face? She truly thinks she's a lap dog, and my right leg truly was falling asleep! 3) I Feel Pretty. I watched this movie on the plane home from Kau...
