Wednesday Faves Week #48

We are getting close, y'all.  It's almost the end of the year!  So I am getting in the Christmas spirit as a couple of my Faves reflect, but y'all, I am SO excited about one of my Faves this week!  So, let's get started...


1) These leggings.  I have discovered Calvin Klein leggings and I love them!  This is just one of my fun patterns.  They actually motivate me to work out.  Ha!  I like them because they are high waisted and thick and come in a lot of fun patterns.  They make me feel sassy (like I need a reason)!

2) Ice Cube in the Dryer hack.  Y'all this might rank up there in my Faves' Hall of Fame!  One day my brilliant son, Harrison, came over to do laundry.  He actually brought some clean wrinkled clothes over and put them in the dryer.  He then goes to my ice maker and grabs a handful of ice, hurling it into the dryer with his clothes.  I asked him, "What in the heck did you just do?" to which he explained that he looked up on the internet and by putting ice cubes in the dryer it helps get wrinkles out of your dried clothes because the ice turns to steam when the heat hits it.  It was SO loud for the first few minutes that I thought he was nuts.  We have been trouble lately with our clothes coming out of the dryer very wrinkled even when I do get right to them, but for sure if I let them sit.  My poor husband has been getting a little frustrated.  This week I had let them sit for a long while and when my husband went to get his jeans, they were awful.  He said, "Good thing I have a back up pair...."  (Wife of the Year right here, yikes!) . I remembered Harrison's hack so I went and grabbed a handful of ice and hurled it in, then set the dryer for "Speed Dry".  Oh. My. Gosh.  Those same jeans did not have one wrinkle in them!  The rest of the load looked equally as fresh and wrinkle free.  I've done it three times since then.  I'm hooked!!  Thank you, Harrison!!  

3) Beauty Queen in her Christmas Fashion. Do any of you remember that commercial on TV years and years ago that said: When you can't hold up any longer, but your hair can!  Remember that?  Well, I would caption this photo: When you can't hold up any longer, but you're still on point for the season!  Little Miss Finley looks so cute in her Christmas plaid color.  And she's so patient with me changing her look so often, ha, ha!  Now if I could just get her to wear a hat!!

4) Glitter Curly Q's.  Even though they are very hard to photograph, I love my red and green curly pics for my Christmas tree.  They make me so happy!  You get a big bang for your buck with these little guys.  They make my tree come alive and I love the look.

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...
