Some of My Favorite Things...

I have never been a huge Oprah fan. I feel a bit witchy saying this. After all she did just build a 40Mil. school for "young women of promise" in Africa AND wore a fabulous hot pink gown to the opening. Sheesh, maybe that's why I don't like her. Who wears a designer gown to a school opening? Oh yeah..Oprah! And the earrings! Did you see them? They probably cost another 40Mil. Seriously, the biggest diamonds I have ever see dangling from someone's ears. Gianormous!!!! Anywhoo...with that said I am now going to steal an idea from her and her gianormous earrings. And since I am pretty certain she is never going to read my blog, I won't get into any copy-right infringement...lawsuits...men in black at my door...issues. So with out further delay...Ta-Da...introducing my very own favorite things list! Honestly, these are things that I cannot live without! And at the end of the blog I am going to give each of you each of these for your very own! Oh, I almost forgot...I AM NOT OPRAH and you are getting nothing!

Oil of Olay...That's right! Simply Oil of Olay. Believe me when I say this--I have tried a lot of expensive skin care products over the past 20 years. But my daughter, Shelly, got my started on Oil of Olay Regenerist products and I can not live without them. You can get them anywhere, no ordering from an independent consultant, making a trip to the mall,etc. When you are buying groceries at your local Walmart pick up a few of these products. Just try the Moisturizing cleansing cloths and you'll be hooked. Heck, try all of the Regenerist products. They're reasonably priced, and folks, they really work. My skin has never looked or felt better. Seriously!

My Bathroom Sink...This sink is a dream. When we added onto our home last year we put this new sink in our bathroom. It is large rectangle shape and very, very, deep. It is so great. It is a Kohler brand and we bought ours at Home Depot. Every woman needs a sink like this! Super big...super great. AND your husband will love it too!

White dishes...I am in love with white dishes! Why? Because they go with everything. Every holiday/celebration, every tablecloth/placemat, just everything. White dishes are timeless. I own 3 different sets and they mix and match so well. You can feed 30 people at a sit-down dinner and your tables look coordinated and put-together even though there are different dishes on each table.

L. Claiborne Handbags...The best handbag investment I have ever made was about 15 years ago when I bought a Liz Claiborne handbag in SLC. I have been hooked ever since. They are so well made and so classy. Currently I have a black and a red one. This red one is my absolute favorite. Believe me, I will get sick of it long, long, long before it wears out! They are worth every penny you pay and if you watch for them, sometimes you can pick up a bargain at TJ Maxx or Ross.

Lampe Berger...This beautiful bottle comes from France and every women should have one in her kitchen, bedroom, and bath! :) It works just like a candle but without the constant worry of an open flame. You fill it with oil and an alcohol neutralizer, light it and within minutes your home smells heavenly. The oil comes in different flavors but one of my favorites is the orange-cinnamon. My daughters gave this to me as a gift and I have them to thank for the simple pleasure of good smells!

Well, that's about it. I have a few more things that I couldn't live without (like a huge roasting pan that we inherited from my husband's aunt) but I am sure you have heard enough from me for today! What are your favorite things?
