Wednesday Faves Week 9

Good morning! Got off to a little slower start this morning, but here  we go!
1) My most favorite Fave in a long time is Curt Jones! I really don’t watch American Idol anymore because of, well, you know...it’s just different now. Anyway, there wasn’t much on Sunday night, so we watched. If you can find their audition/story online, go watch! His wife had been battling a pill addiction and he stuck with her. She’s been sober for a year and they decided to audition for Idol together. She made it, but he did not. He was SO truly happy for her and the way he carried himself both through her addiction and through her “ticket to Hollywood” makes this guy my Fave! You are my American Idol, Curt Jones!

 2) Rodan & Fields Redefine line. I used this for a couple of years, but needed a change. I think I received more compliments on my skin during that time than any other. Recently, I decided to pull it back out and try using it again. I am LOVING it! My face feels so soft and I think it’s hydrating it well! I can’t use the roller on my face, but I have been using it on my neck with good results.

 3) Natural Habits Essential Oils are awesome! Remember last week I told you about Nick Viall’s Podcast? Well, these are his oils. They are kind of pricey, but I love them! There’s one more called Release which I really wanted to try diffusing at night, but they put the wrong oil in the Release box. (Side note: Their customer service is wonderful so hopefully Release will arrive soon!) I am all about diffusing these days and right now Rise is my favorite for daytime!

 4) Our Book Club selection for February is The Rumor by Lesley Kara. 🤪I haven’t finished it yet (it’s due tomorrow) but those that have seem to have really liked it! And I am enjoying trying to figure out the ending...we’ll see how I do!

 UPDATE:

After taking this cutie on my trip, I’m giving it a B-. A travel backpack is a MUST for me. A lot of people, my momma included, don’t like backpacks (mainly for the look) but I like carrying certain things when I travel and this is the easiest/least bulky way. I am picky about my travel backpacks and this just didn’t work for me. It was almost too stiff, had a black interior (so I couldn’t see things) and was a tad too small. I do think it could be cute as a purse backpack. I like backpacks that don’t look too sporty or “school-ish” but those are hard to find! I started with Vera Bradley but I just do not care for the patterns. My friend Karyn who was traveling with me suggested Jon Hart. I am ALL about coated canvas so I am going to give this one a try for my next trip:


We’ll see. I’ll report back! If anyone has a backpack recommendation please let me know (although this one seems pretty cool)!

Happy Wednesday!

  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...
