I thought it would be fun to do a post about some of the things I love, besides my family and friends of course! I know that life is not about what you have. But there are some things that if I had to live without them, while I would survive I would be very very sad.
Diet Sunkist Lemonade
-A mysterious illness earlier this year robbed me of my ability to enjoy Diet Coke. This other pop is the bomb. I have loved it for a good portion of my adult life. Unfortunately it’s very hard to find sometimes. I’m addicted. When I can’t have it I’m very sad. But I suppose there are worse things to be addicted to, huh?
Neutrogena pear and green tea body wash-It’s like a little spa in my shower. It smells so good, I look forward to showering so I can smell it. Is that weird?
Dark chocolate- It’s health food, right? I like the really dark stuff, but not so dark it’s bitter. Dove dark chocolate with almonds rocks. Hershey’s used to make a very dark chocolate that had blueberries, cranberries, and some sort of nut in it. In a pinch I’ll settle for milk chocolate, but I prefer the dark stuff.
My IPOD-I have a 16 gig ipod. My music is extremely important to me. I don’t make big purchases very often, but this one was well worth it. I like the fact that I still have room to put more of my favorite songs on it. I have some pretty weird taste in music-it’s so nice to be able to listen to what I want when I want it.
My tevas. I love teva sandals. My feet practically cry when the weather gets too cold to wear them. The fact that I finally was able to get a couple of pairs of Merrells this last winter helped to ease the pain a little. Just a little. I have them in three different colors. I do a lot of online surveys to be able to buy footwear!
Tie-dye-I can’t get enough of it. Note: I was wearing tie-dye long before it was considered in fashion.
Method products-All natural, non-toxic, and affordable! I can’t stand to breathe in any kind of fumes when I clean. I don’t exactly need excuses not to clean. These smell so good-though my husband claims the green antibacterial cleaner smells like pee (I disagree). The Lavender is my favorite.
Neutrogena Body Lotion
-In addition to the great smelling body wash, we have the great smelling body lotion. I don’t wear cologne, except once in a great while. I don’t feel I have to-this stuff smells so good. I buy the super duper giant bottle and it lasts me a very very long time.
Sutter Home White Zinfadel-My weekend delight. Not my very favorite, but when I can buy a huge bottle at Target for $9 every few weeks I’ll take it!
Relax Riesling-when I’m feeling wealthier this stuff is wonderful. This is my very favorite. Also, the bottle looks really cool on your table. I hope to someday make a whole bunch of lighted Relax bottles for decoration. As soon as I figure out how.
Incense-I love all things that smell, but nothing beats the smell of incense when you’re trying to relax. It’s the best smell ever!
Everyone is so different-what are your favorite things? What do you feel you would be very sad without?
The Sadder But Wiser Girl 
Some of my favorite things: Well, Relax Riesling would be one thing- but also regular Coke, sweat pants (they’re comfy!), summer dresses, cheese of every kind, Italian beef sandwiches, and hot towels from the dryer. 🙂
All great things! I almost put yoga pants on my list too. 🙂 I should have included Coke, since I drink it more than I should now that I think Diet Coke tastes awful!
“I do!” 🙂 Thanks so much for your compliments. We really do appreciate being called your “very favorite.” We also have handy instructions on how to make our bottles into lamps here: http://therelaxnation.com/2012/03/make-your-home-more-relaxing-bright-with-this-diy-wine-bottle-lamp/. Cheers!
I will have to check that out! 🙂 Thank you. I may just have a bottle this week for my anniversary. 😀
Reblogged this on The Sadder But Wiser Girl and commented:
In the spirit of Christmas, here are a few of my favorite things! 😀
My iPad, a bottle of wine from Stone Hill Winery and Netflix
I like your list of favorite things. I would have to add coffee and peanut butter cups to my list!
I love Reeses Peanut Butter cups too, but dark chocolate still takes precedence. There are probably a few more things I could have added to that list, like ice cream and the weird thing, Health is Wealth Whole Wheat Soy Cheese Pizza Rolls. Perhaps I’ll have to make a second list…
LOVE !!!! From one TIVA sister to the next.
Am I the only one that wares sandals for the cool tan line?
I have terrible back problems. I wear Tevas in the warm weather and Merrells in cooler weather. I don’t tan-I BURN (fair freckled redhead that I am). I wish I could wear cheap shoes, but I have never been able to. No shoe fetishes at this house, except maybe the Tevas. 🙂
Yeah I’m not a shoe girl either. I’d rather buy photo gear or stuff to make a quilt! I’m kind of a granny I guess LOL!!!
I have two pairs of merrellsm, one black and one brown. Tevas I have purple, green, and black. So maybe I am a sandal whore. Nah… I agree with you, there is more to life than shoes. 😀
I feel sad for all those shoes stuffed in closets. It’s like a family that doesn’t cook spending have a mill on a kitchen!!! WHY!!?!?!?!?
Mmmm, love Dove dark chocolate with almonds. And yes, it is considered a health food.
If it is, I am EXTREMELY healthy! 😀
I love dark chocolate the best! Especially See’s Candies Dark Chocolates…I die.
I haven’t had that kind.
Do they have See’s Candy stores where you live? We get a box every Christmas and we love to customize it with all of our favorites. yummy.
No. We have Chocolaterie Stam. Don’t think that’s quite the same thing.
Ooooh – well you could order it online, http://www.sees.com/index.cfm . Though…if you try it and get addicted don’t hate me! lol
Maybe after Christmas I’ll check it out. Sounds divine!
Love your list but I would add milk chocolate instead of dark! I know dark is better for your health but I can’t do it! + I would add my laptop 🙂 ha!ha! 🙂
Well…. yeah… that’s important to me too. I used to love milk chocolate more, and I still like it a lot, but there is something about dark chocolate, especially when there are blueberries or almonds in it! YUM!
