Favorite Things

I thought it would be fun to post about some of the things that I would not be able to live without these days...







Bath & Body Works Eucalyptus Spearmint lotion (and body mist, and Wall Flower). This scent is so clean and fresh and almost "medicine-y" smelling, so I don't feel bad wearing it to work! The wallflower is also AMAZING!Corsica Plates from Kohls. I mix-matched all sizes and shapes of these plates and bowls in Butter, Cream, and Jade (yellow, green, and off white).The IPhone. It has lived up to all the hype, my life will never be the same!







I am becoming obsessed with orange and blue. I can't wait for the Christmas decor to come down so I can strat transforming the house into these two colors!















This Bissel pet hair vaccum that my mother-in-law bought me is the most used cleaning tool in our house because of the combination of our dark brown fabric couches and our white haired dog. This vacuum makes cleaning the pet hair a breeze because its small and cordless and powerful so I can whip it out whenever I need.I use these miniature pans EVERY morning to first cook myself two over-easy eggs, and second to cook devin two scrambled eggs. They fit two eggs perfectly, and the est part is that your eggs aren't rolling all over the pan, and it makes them easy to flip! Bath and Body Works Mentha Lip tint is highly addicting, I will never go back to regular ChapStick.







Devin bought me this Northface coat for my birthday and I wear it every chance I can, (which is not very often around these parts) so I am very much looking forward to our travels to colder weather this Christmas!






Red Velvet Cake ice cream from Blue Bunny. I tried this at a friend's house, and I am hooked! I avoid buying it in large quantities because there is no humanly possible way for me to avoid eating it if it is in my freezer.










Coconut Lime Diet Coke! If you are in St George, go to Swig and order one of these, NOW!









Coconut Cream truffles from Sees candy. (Clearly I've been on a coconut kick lately) Maybe after you pick up your Coconut Lime Diet Coke from Swig you should swing by See's and grab a pound or two of these!













I bought a burnt orange scarf at Kohls, and I think I have worn it with every outfit I own!








Riding boots from UrbanOg.com. You can't beat $28, plus the color matches black AND brown.











I may have OD'd on stripes this year. This shirt + orange scarf + riding boots







That was fun!


Ugly Sweater Soir'e

Marki and Shane hosted a fabulous Christmas Party, at their fabulous house, with fabulous guests, wearing fabulous outfits...







"Otto Got Run Over by a Reindeer"

I am the happiest girl in the world because...

A) School is over for the semester so I can just focus on work, the husband, and this little guy... B) In spite of my doubts I actually passed all of my classesC) We have put the guest room to good use thanks to our many visitors such as this little guy...

And this little girl...D) Soon my Christmas shopping, crafting, and wrapping will be complete (no thanks to this guy :))






(No Otto didn't really get run over by a reindeer)
