A Few of My Favorite Things

It’s that time of year again….

You know, time for Oprah’s Favorite Things Show.  I rarely tune it to watch Oprah anymore, but I always try to watch the Favorite Things Show.  I love to see her selections, and I love to see all the hysterical people in the audience.

So yes, this post is a little materialistic, but here are a few of my favorite things.  These are things that make me happy, and I’m having a rough week mentally, so I could use some happy!  If I could share these things with all of you, Oprah style, I totally would!

Le Creuset Dutch Oven: I got this last year for Christmas, and it is truly my favorite kitchen thing (followed closely by my stand mixer).  Great for the stove-top or to use in the oven.  Dishwasher safe!  Super sturdy enameled cast iron.  And in this great cherry red color, beautiful to look at!

Glee: This is my new favorite show.  I love everything about this show.  Love the music, love the plots, love the actors.  Love it!  It makes me laugh, cry, sing and dance.  If you aren’t watching it yet, you must check it out.  Also, you can now own the songs sung on the show, on the newly released Glee Soundtrack, Volume 1 and soon to be released Volume 2.  I MUST have these for Christmas, even though I’ve already downloaded many of the songs from itunes.

Bobbi Brown face palettes: This is my go-to makeup that I use daily.  Easy to use, flattering for most skin tones.  New palettes are released each season, and they make picking eye shadow, liner, blush, and lipstick stress free.  I’m trying hard to resist buying any new ones (like the one pictured!) until I use up the ones I have now.

Pottery Barn Faux Fur Throw: I bought one of these in chocolate brown about 4 years ago, and I absolutely love it.  So soft, warm and cuddly.

Slatkin & Co Pumpkin Patch candles:  This is my favorite candle scent of all time.  They changed the name and the look of the candle this year, but the scent is still the same: pumpkin, cinnamon, brown sugar, and vanilla cream. The smell just makes me feel so happy and peaceful.  I bought 4 of these the day they started selling them this season, and I’m already out!

Kenzie Cardigan: I wear this cardigan ALL the time (wearing it right now, in fact)!  So soft and cozy!  My favorite sweater for lounging around the house.

I’m sharing this post with the Favorite Things Party at 320 Sycamore.  I can’t wait to go see what other bloggers love and maybe find some new favorite things!

  1. I haven’t seen Glee yet. I do love The Good Wife.

    And House and the Big Bang Theory.

    Those throws look luscious. 🙂

  2. This is such a great list. I think I want everything on it. I haven’t seen Glee, but I hear it’s great. I love my Yankee Candle pumpkin spice. I’ll have to check out the Slatkin & Co. one. Someone else mentioned Bobbi Brown makeup. It’s nice that the whole pallet is selected for you.

  3. Great list! I haven’t seen Glee, but really want to. Heard it was really good.

    I love your choice, but if I may say, they are so expensive! Especially with the Dave Ramsey button on your site.,I’m a bit confused.
    Thanks for sharing.

  14. Thanks for sharing your favorites! The Bobbi Brown kit looks like something I want to try.
