The Candee Dish

Another week, another round of Faves. I love these Faves a LOT, by the way.  1) I love these  Buxom Power-full Lip Balms ! They are great on days when I’m not wearing make up. Apparently they adjust with your natural skin and lip color...I don’t really feel like they are “plumping”, but maybe?! I like the consistency and that they give my lips a little color on casual days! 2) This is my second go round with Aveda’s Damage Remedy . The first time I tried it on the recommendation of my hair stylist and didn’t like it. It recently came in my FabFitFun box and my friend Dianna said she loved this stuff so I decided to try again. I used it differently, instead of (as opposed to “in addition to”) another product and I loved it!! I have a tendency to try something once and give up instead of working with it a little bit, and I think I may be missing out on some seriously great stuff! 3) This cute little table brings me joy every morning. We have an adjustable bed, and it’s v...

Good morning! Got some Wednesday Faves to share with you today.    1) CraftWay Kitchen , I love this place! I have been there twice now, and while I have to admit, the food was better the first time, it was really good both times. Even more impressive than the food, is the customer service! Both times they did something a little special, above and beyond. The first time we had trouble deciding on an appetizer, we finally picked fried asparagus. Delish. The server brought out a tasting of the two we didn’t choose “on her”. Then, my husband ordered a beer, but they had to change out the tap so they brought him another one to sample while he waited.  This past Friday it was super crowded, but halfway through my Pineapple martini the server, unsolicited, brought a frozen empty glass and put the rest of my drink in it so it would be cold til the very end. Very impressive customer service! Very cool place. 2) I Should Have Known That! is a fun trivia game. You don’t have ...

Good morning! This is a wet with fog kind of day. It’s kind of gross (interesting side note: I spelled gross “groce” in high school until a boyfriend made fun of me and corrected me 🤪) My Faves are a bit random, but nevertheless great this week! 1) Last year for Christmas (as in 2018), Walt got this Nixplay Digital Photo Frame as a gift from his coworkers. I highjacked it and I LOVE IT! My favorite thing about is that my kids, husband, anyone really, can send photos directly to the frame. It’s like little surprises ever so often.  They just have to have the log in info. It’s also super easy to change the photos as the seasons change. It’s a happy maker!! 2) SuperSoulSunday has become one of my favorite shows! I watch it almost every Sunday. Oprah interviews different people and it just feeds my soul! Sometimes I take notes. It’s just so good and I love listening to other’s perspectives. 3) Y’all know I’m crazy for diffusers and this may be my most favorite one yet. ...

Two weeks in a row AND on time. Hopefully this “winning at life” streak will continue, ha ha! Hey, it’s the little things... 1) I got a new door hanger. Hi. I saw this online and just loved it! It’s so cute and whimsical. I ordered it when I was looking for a Christmas door hanger and couldn’t wait for the holidays to be over so I could put it out. 2) Ready to Love is a dating show “featuring successful black men and women in their 30s and 40s as they go through the steps of courtship” in the Atlanta area. It is on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN). It is hosted by Nephew Tommy, who I’ve learned is Steve Harvey’s nephew. I kept seeing advertisements for it so I began watching and devouring Season 2. Then I watched the entire Season 1. I’ve never really been a Bachelor/Bachelorette watcher, but I could not get enough of Ready to Love. The only thing I found disappointing (other than the success rate is about that of the Bachelor) is after following several of them on Instagram, I...

Ringing in 2020 with goals, resolutions and Wednesday Faves! We moved in July 2019, I got busy, made excuses and just set Wednesday Faves aside. I had intended to do a big year end recap and resurrect the Wednesday Faves, but it didn’t happen. My daughter, Hayley, recently asked me where the Faves had gone. She said some of her friends had asked her about them because they looked forward to them. I love doing them, so they are back! I was out of town on the first Wednesday of 2020, but wanted to get the ball rolling! 1) Codenames Board Game- I had heard of this game from my friends, the Beards. While in Tampa for New Year’s Eve, my son Hudson and his girlfriend Ashley picked up this game and we played it for hours! It was SO much fun! It’s a little complicated to explain, but once you start playing, it’s a blast! Highly recommend. 2) Don’t F**k With Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer- I devoured this Netflix documentary. I recommended it to my daughter and she devoured it. It ...
