Post Cruise Faves

 Since I had too much fun on my cruise to think about Faves, I missed two Fridays. I decided to do a post cruise Faves post.


1) Regent Seven Seas Cruise Line Since our first exposure to Regent, in 2016, an Alaskan Cruise with the family celebrating my stepfather’s 80th birthday, we will only cruise on Regent. This was our fourth Regent cruise, and we sailed on their newest ship, SS Splendor. For 12 days we were pampered and spoiled by the nicest people, met some fun new people/characters, and traveled to bucket list places: England, Norway, Latvia, Estonia, Finland and Sweden. I’m excited to say we have two more Regent Cruises planned!

2) Apple Air Tags I’m sure you’ve heard of these, my friend Stan recommended them to me back in February. A couple of months later I purchased a set of 4. I have three of them in suitcases and one of them on one of my dogs. It was so reassuring having them on this trip. From flight cancellations to the previous trouble London Heathrow had with luggage, I was able to pull them up on my phone and see “with you” or “located at Heathrow” or “located at Terminal D”, etc. Arriving back to Dallas and seeing our luggage had made it before it even came out was so so wonderful! Highly recommend!

3) Revisions Intellishade Original I love this stuff!  I don’t wear foundation very often, so Intellishade Original is my go to. 

4) Netflix Netflix is my go to for downloading series to watch when I travel. On my most recent trip, I watched Lies & Deceit, WeCrashed, and Seven Seconds.  I enjoyed them all for the most part. WeCrashed was pretty weird, and ironically, the hotel we stayed in while in London was a across the street from a WeWork. Both Lies & Deceit and Seven Seconds had characters I did NOT like, but I guess that’s what makes them good series, they draw you in by tugging at all of your emotions. I was disappointed in the way Seven Seconds ended, but we don’t really get life packaged up with a beautiful bow on top. And that’s okay…life is still beautiful (sorry, got a little deep there for a minute). I do think all three are worth a watch!

I’ll be back this Friday with more Faves. I felt like I was gone forever! It’s funny, I really enjoyed being gone and didn’t start missing home until we were getting close to making the journey back. It feels good to be getting back into the routine (except for the crown replacement I have to get tomorrow, and it’s not the beautiful crown that sits on top of my head). Now if I could just get my sleep schedule back to normal…

Friday Faves

  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...
