Wednesday Faves Week #40

Ahhhhh, my favorite month of the year for decorating is here!  I love Halloween decor, love the drama, so you will most likely see a Halloween Fave each Wednesday this month.  Not really sorry about that...but, first things first.

1) Hello Fresh.  I know y'all are sick of hearing me say how much I love it, but I can't help it!  I really do!  Now that I'm in the Hello Fresh groove, the horizons have been expanded!  With Walt's travel/work schedule, I'll sometimes make a meal, eat it for dinner and then again for lunch.  Or I'll invite someone over (like one of my kids) to eat with me.  But, Walt is very excited when he is home for our Hello Fresh meals, and I'm even finding them to be a little easier now that I'm used to them.  I've about got my mom convinced to try them!

2) Clean Mascara Wand.  This may seem like a silly Fave, but hear me out! I got these back when I had eyelash extensions, and I've since ordered them on Amazon.  After I take my mascara off, I give my eyelashes a little brushing to separate, fluff, and get off any crusties...I also brush them before I put on additional mascara before going out.  These little guys have been very instrumental in achieving the best eyelashes I've had in my entire life!  Love them!

3) Advocare Glow Collagen.  My friend Elizabeth got me started on this.  I have several friends (and even my daughter) who put collagen powder in their coffee.  I tried that and did NOT like the way my coffee tasted.  This has a great cherry taste when mixed with water.  I cannot say it has turned me into Cindy Crawford, but I do feel like maybe it is doing something!  It is supposed to help with hair, nails, and skin.  It's one of those things that I think I may not realize all it's doing for me until I stop using it.  I don't plan to anytime soon!  I love it because I feel like I'm doing something good for myself.

4) Halloween Zombies.  These are new this year, and I just took them out of the box today.  My son Harrison was here and was going to help me finish decorating outside.  They turn on and make creepy noises.  When I turned one on, I looked at Harrison and said, "Your dad is going to be SO mad at me!"  He started laughing and said he wished he had that on video, that my expression was priceless.  We put them out in the flower beds, but I was trying to sneak so that my neighbor with 5 kids couldn't see me.  I think they will be so glad when we sell our house.  They are kind of trying to help us, ha, ha!  But I kind of love them (the Zombies, although the neighbors are nice too).

Happy Wednesday everyone!

  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...
