rachel's favorite things
  1. Relaxing Almond Bath Oil  I have become a lover of luxuriating in a hot bath with a good book, a glass of wine, music playing, and this Almond Bath oil.  It smells amazing, makes the bath that much more decadent, and leaves my skin feeling as soft as a newborn baby’s.
  2. I got this Chapstick Lip Care Moisturizer in my Swag Bag at Blog Elevated and it has erased all other lip balms from my life.  It leaves my lips soft and supple, it has no flavor, and it isn’t sticky or waxy.  I spend a lot of time outdoors; running, playing with the kids, out on the boat, hanging out with the neighbors and the wind and I can’t be without this chapstick.  I probably have 3 or 4 tubes of it at all times.
  3. This is my favorite journal  I am passionate about photography and writing, and this journal combines them in a fun way.  The cover is rough, heavy paper, and the camera is stitched on; each page has a camera in the corner with the words “say cheese”  I use it to write notes about recipes I want to try, thoughts on life, moments I don’t want to forget, and I have a brand new one to use in Karen’s upcoming CREATE 2014 online course <<I urge y’all to sign up and do it with me. Karen is one of the people who inspires me to see beauty, create beauty, and spread kindness.
  4. Pens! PENS! pens!  I have an addiction to pens of all colors and styles, but these papermate flair pens are my absolute favorites. Bright color, smooth flow, and they don’t bleed. I use them when I journal. I’ll give y’all a glimpse of my journal someday and y’all will see that it’s colorful and bright.
  5. Wooden Spoon  I am a Southern Girl and I firmly believe that everyone needs a really good wooden spoon.  The end.
  6.  Dead Sea Witch Hazel Hand Cream The amount of times that I wash my hands per day is absolutely crazy, it also means that I have really dry hands, especially in the winter.  This hand cream is rich and smooth, but doesn’t leave a film on my hands or make them feel greasy or sticky.  They feel smooth, moisturized, and that lasts, too!
  7.  Soothing Chamomile Face Mask When I’m lounging in the bath reading, I put this chamomile face mask on and close my eyes for just a few minutes – it’s such a luxury to spoil yourself, and I feel like everyone needs to spoil themselves a little bit.  This soothes my skin, tightens my pores and leaves my face looking more rested and glowing in that happy, in love sort of way.
  8.  $25 WORLD MARKET Gift Card – World Market is one of my all time favorite stores for getting props for photography, table linens, unique gifts, fun decorations for our home.  I can spend hours in World Market, and often do!  I love talking with their staff about their wine selections and pairings, their unique beers, and finding that perfect gift for the hard to shop for person.  Their vintage toy selection makes me smile and remember my childhood and playing with my brothers.  I couldn’t pick just one thing from my favorite store for y’all – so I’m doing a $25 gift card instead!

That’s $75 worth of favorite things!!

  18. Wow..that’s a tough list to narrow down. Family, friends, my new appliances which are making the holidays SO much fun for sharing goodies and just having fun baking in the kitchen. New sink that makes it SO much easier to wash big pans and large pots. I think I like the sink best of all but then when I can bake cookies twice as fast…the oven starts winning. And then the dishwasher. Oy, vey, it works hard. Really favorite things are things that make me smile and enjoy life. Whatever they are and however small they are. Great question!

    My favourite tangible object that I wish all new Mummy’s knew about, & is indispensable for us, is a video baby monitor, even though my son is no longer a baby it comes in really handy. Especially when your little one is sick (as mine is now) or when you’ve sent them to their room ( you can keep a eye on them).

    Or simply to watch them peacefully sleep! Aahhh

  845. I love when my family gets together for the holidays. And it’s always so fun when my sisters and I, immediately follow gift opening, begin the jewelry trades. It’s silly, but fun. : ) Being with them – especially since I live so far now – is one of my favorite things.

  888. I love stuffed monkeys; must have each year at Christmas since it was a girlhood/family tradition. Pitted Medjool dates, a smear of peanut butter in the opening made to remove the pit, and the whole thing rolled in a bit of granulated sugar. Nothing better!

  964. I’m most in love with the witch hazel hand cream, although I’m definitely a fan of all the ways in which you’ve put together a package that will enable the recipient to pamper and to care for themselves, which is something that is not always encouraged.

    My other favorite things include distance walking and working out, so all of these will go a long way toward helping me to recover from the toll these activities place on my body!
