The Candee Dish

  Here we go with Friday Faves! (I’m looking at you, Sami and Lili 😉)  1) Heineken 0.0% Alcohol Beer As a lot of you know, I have been doing Dry Weekday January. I thought that would be good because I knew I had a couple of weekend events this month where I might want to partake, but weekdays, no biggie. I forgot about the National Championship Football game and I didn’t know about the Cowboy’s Playoff game. I love beer and football. I took my little self to Kroger to find some O’Douls, but found this and it is SO good! You feel like it’s the real thing! I plan on drinking this well past January! 2) M0DE Electric Toothbrush I bought this for Walt. Not sure how it brushes 😂 I’ll have to ask him, but I love that it plugs directly into the wall, so no cords! He leaves his toothbrush on the vanity and I hate the cord. I also like the fact that every three months they will send us a replacement head, so I don’t have to remember to change it. Bonus: it has a little nightlight on i...

  Here are my Faves I have been loving this week: 1) Fluffy Checkered Blanket I loved, and gave, the black and white checkered blankets for Christmas gifts, but decided I wanted to find maybe a blue and white version for myself. I love these! I love the bigger checks and the blue color for my family room.  My gift recipients, Corinne, Hayley and CJ love their black and white ones. Makes my heart happy! (The dog is my fave too!) 2) Bold Vase Art from ZGallerie First of all, I have been LOVING ZGallerie lately (online of course). This artwork is what I didn’t know my bathroom needed, but I love seeing it every time I walk in. And, it’s on sale! It’s a series of 4, but I only have 2 of them. 3) Redee No-Glow Patches Whenever I have even one sip of alcohol my neck and cheeks turn red and get quite warm. It eventually settles down, but I hate it. I didn’t know it was actually a thing that happens to a lot of people, so much so, that someone came up with a darned good solution! Once...

I’m enjoying the reset that January brings. I’ve set some intentions, so here we go… 1) The 52 Weeks I got this book several years ago and started the 52 weeks with my friend, Cynthia. Then, the Pandemic hit, and our challenge kinda fell to the waist side. Fast forward to an evening out with my friend Mona and in honor of her hitting a major birthday milestone this year, she decided to take on the 52 weeks challenge, and I decided to join her. You don’t necessarily have to read the book to do it, I love that the front cover says “Two Women and Their Quest to Get Unstuck”. That pretty much sums it up. We started by brainstorming things we wanted to do this year. Our lists are completely separate although a few things overlap and hopefully we do those together. In an effort to not pick and choose, we put all of our list on slips of paper in a jar. On weeks we don’t have something specifically scheduled, i.e. Girls’ Trips, Napa, etc., we draw a slip and do the thing! For me, on January 1s...

  A little late, but here are the first Faves of 2023. 1) Black Coral I love this black coral from Z Gallerie. I do NOT, however, love the piece of styrofoam stuck to it. I hate styrofoam. I have a couple of these, corals not pieces of styrofoam, in our bedroom and I just love them! 2) The Gray Man We watched this movie Friday night and really liked it. It was cheesy action, right up Walt’s alley. The bonus: It was free on Netflix! (Yes, I know I pay for Netflix, but it didn’t cost anything above and beyond.) 3) Cheese Slicer This cheese slicer from Sur La Table was my friend Alison’s “Favorite” from our Favorite (White Elephant) Gift Exchange at our Grow Group Christmas Party. Walt scored this gift from the evening, and I have just loved it!  4) Govee TV Lights These lights are so fun! Hayley and her fiancé gave these to us for Christmas. My future son in law came over and installed them for us. Since our TV sits in a cabinet, we don’t get the benefit of the lights showing on...
