A few of my favorite things {part one}

A couple of times a year, I post about things I really like.  And this is gift giving season so I am doing a two part series. Any of these would make lovely Christmas gifts for your loved ones.

I LOVE these colors and this nail polish!  It is a bit spendy but the colors are gorgeous and it does not have the harmful chemicals of most polishes.  And it is very durable.  These are the two colors I have so far and I love them both.

Yummy Mummy

If Santa were to bring another color for my stocking (they sell it at Ulta too, Santa --on Richmond and Sage).  I am crushing on Lady Muck and Cream Tea! Actually I don't think Santa even reads my blog anymore but I digress....

Okay this next one is a HUGE favorite of mine.  I LOVE this Prosecco.  Our Whole Foods has it in stock all the time and it is only $10!!!!  Put some pretty ribbon on the bottle and you have a great hostess gift.  I always have a few bottles in the wine frig for an afternoon happy hour with the girlfriends.  It really is my drink of choice if I am imbibing (which I don't do very often).  In fact, I am bringing it to a Christmas Party tonight:)



The next thing on my list is these skinny jeans/jeggings type things.  Okay, I SWORE I would never wear these as I do not have the best thighs and tush (and I have gained a tiny bit of weight this year). But Old Navy Rock Star jeans/jeggings (hate that word) do ROCK!  I love them.  They fit well, they flatter and make me look thinner than I really am and they are comfortable too. And the price cannot be beat.  I am wearing them here (you can see them best in the last photo with Santa).  You can even get them in a pretty deep red or corsica blue which are very on trend right now.




  I saw these darling Tory Burch slippers yesterday and they are so cute and comfy.  I don't have them but I think they are so cute.  It is not cold enough here to wear slippers more than a handful of times a year but if I lived somewhere cold, these would be at the top of my Christmas list.  And they come in glittery gold, hot pink and camel!



I cannot usually wear scents.  Most scented lotions or perfumes give me a migraine.  However, at Thanksgiving my sister in law smelled so good and fresh.  She told me that she wears Kiehls Original musk.  I was afraid to buy it because of my history with headaches and scents so she gave me the last bit of a bottle she had and I have been wearing it ever since.  I need to go buy some this week.  It is light and pretty and clean.  And I think it smells even better as the day goes on.



 I was addicted to this last winter and would run up to my local Starbucks every Monday night to get one.  Now I don't have to leave the house.  You can buy this at Target and some grocery stores.  I think it is best with either warm skim or 2% milk.  YUMMY!




And my last favorite thing on this post is cedar garland.  I absolutely LOVE it.  I sometimes hesitate to get it because I think it makes our allergies worse but I love it so much. I have been searching for faux cedar garland but have not found any. These few holiday images are from pinterest and some I have had on my computer for years.

P.S.  I am SO honored and excited that Eddie and Jaithan featured my wreath on the Eddie Ross blog today.  The blog world is so neat.  People you look up to and admire can treat you so graciously.  Thank you Eddie and Jaithan!

Please share with me in the comments one of your favorite things.
