The Candee Dish

  It’s time for the weekly installment of Friday Faves! 1) Amazon Echo Show This one is in my kitchen, but I have one in my bathroom too. While getting ready I can listen to a podcast, a TV show, music, whatever! I like the Show because it has a display and suggests things to ask her. I gave one to my stepfather for Christmas so he can see what’s happening, instead of just hoping he instructs her right. Have you ever seen the SNL skit of Alexa and the older generation? It’s so funny and accurate! 2) Black Shower We just had our bathroom redone, and I knew above anything else I wanted a black shower! I wasn’t going to let anyone talk me out of it. I love it!! Everyone else, even the nay sayers, love it too! 3) Firefly Aglow Gilded Fig Candle I purchased this on my recent trip to Dripping Springs and it smells SO good! I really like fig scents. Who knew? 4) LG Top Loading Washer and Dryer About 4-5 years ago, for my birthday, I asked for a top loading washer/dryer to replace my front...

  Yes, today is Thursday. Can you believe I’m posting Faves a day early? I will be “out of office” tomorrow as it’s Match Day for Hudson in Houston, and he has a full itinerary for us. No time for Faves, ha, ha!  1) Doberman Sandals Ha, ha, that’s what my friend Tom calls these shoes. They are Steve Madden and I got sucked into an IG ad, but I am SO glad I did. I love these shoes and get lots of comments and compliments on them. I’m about to order a second pair I think! Beware: If you slip them off and put your feet on top of them, it is kind of uncomfortable 🥴  2) Amazon Echo & Compatible Battery Base This is an Amazon Echo. It’s larger than the Echo Dot. It requires a specific battery base, and I love it! I know, I know, a lot of people don’t want Alexa spying on them, blah, blah. I love her! I have been looking for a solution of spontaneous music on our patio. This Echo lives on the battery base in my laundry room. When we go outside, I unplug it (the battery base...

  It’s time for Friday Faves!  1) Peloton Yoga Really, I’d say the entire Peloton app is a Fave. While I do love riding the bike, there’s so much more you can do through the Peloton app. Yoga is my current favorite. My doctor told me I should do more yoga, that it was good for someone my age 🙄. After I apologized for slapping her silly (just kidding), I started trying to incorporate yoga into my week. I have a love/hate with yoga.  It is so challenging for me to do, but I feel so happy when I’ve done it. 2) Jergen’s Wet Skin Moisturizer This stuff is a Fave every year about this time. I really only use it when the weather gets cold. I put this on right while I’m in the shower so I don’t have to get cold a second time putting lotion on after I’m out of the shower.  3) Napkin Pockets for Flatware I got to use these for the first time last weekend. Our friends came to dinner and the guy said, “What in the world is going on here?” I almost always use cloth napkins (whic...

  Here we go! It’s time for Friday Faves… 1) Maybe It’s Ok by We Are Messengers I love, love, love this song! Here’s the backstory on how I found it: They are remodeling our bathroom so I’ve had to move upstairs to get ready. I took my Echo Show up there and asked it to play Praise and Worship music while I was getting ready for church. It stopped me in my tracks. My Echo shows the words on the screen as the song is playing and I almost started crying!  I love this song! 2) Bubble Light Chandelier I recently changed out the light fixture over our island to this one. I love it!  It’s so fun! 3) Dr. Teal’s w/Coconut Oil Y’all know I love me some Dr. Teal’s.  This is a new one for me. It smells super yummy!  I’m not sure if it actually moisturizes, but it smells yummy! 4) Refillable Glass Candle This “candle” was in the bathroom in our hotel in Napa. I loved it and saw it as a solution for the hurricanes on my patio.  I used to have battery operated candles on...
