"Favorite Things"

[laura]

Since I enjoyed this thread before, I thought I would bring it back. This can be your favorite - whatever - sort of in the spirit of Oprah's "favorite things" show.

Here are some of my current faves (some re-posted from WC b/c I'm in a hurry):

I'm SO glad you revived this thread Laura!

I'm with you on the iPod and Netflix! :D

My Vera Bradley Toggle Tote in Sherbet:
http://www.verabradley.com/Images/products/11837_me.jpg
I LOVE this thing. It's a great summer bag, and it is the PERFECT size. I can fit a book in there, my wallet, my Palm Pilot, my iPod, etc. but it doesn't look like a suitcase!

[Camdynlyn]

OOOH! I love my Vera in Sherbert too! That is the current pocketbook I am carrying. It is more summery than most of my others. :) That is what my luggage is in as well but I am hoping to find a wintery one this year.

[babylove]

Can't live without my Vera Bradley large duffle in green apple....and I know I will never get lost in an airport while carrying it b/c you can see me a mile away!!
http://www.verabradley.com/Images/products/34129_me.jpg

[EmilyZA]

I cannot believe I forgot my ULTIMATE favorite thing right now!
http://www.haagendazs.com/img_db/pro/pro_les_200.gif
Haagen Dazs Sorbet in Zesty Lemon... it's sooooo refreshing, light, and just delicious. I am addicted. And it's low fat... I follow the Weight Watchers lifestyle, and it's only 2 points per serving, which I think is 1/2 cup (I usually just eat it right out of the pint. Yikes.)

[oceaneast]

http://www.atpm.com/10.04/images/ss-soundsticks.gif

My favorite speakers.

Oh and I love Vera Bradley Sherbert!

[MsRo]

(forgive me, I'm not sure if I can subscribe without replying...) ;)

[oceaneast]

Your so forgiven. I'm happy you made it over. The subscribe button is at the top of the thread, it becomes a drop down menu under thread tools.

[Camdynlyn]

I could not LIVE without my Vera luggage. Hubby gave me all the luggage for a wedding gift for the honeymoon. From the duffle to the makeup case to the jewerly thingy to the hang up clothes bag.

[Holls]

OH i love my green apple too!

Laura where is that skirt from! It is TOO cute!

[Katy]

Has anyone noticed the google ads on the side in this thread. It's either all Oprah or all luggage/bag. Too funny

[Holls]

UMMMM I didn't even realize there were ads on the pages until now! HAHA I guess i'm a focused poster! :p

[laura]

The skirt is on sale/clearance at the Gap right now. :)

[Holls]

YES! EVEN BETTER! SALE! I LOVE IT EVEN MORE!

[gokatgo]

They're pretty popular around here too, but the Vera Bradley bags do nothing for me at all. Maybe I'm just not into the quilt/purse look. (?)

I'm too cheap to buy Juicy Tubes, so I tried the genero version, Loreal Colour Juice Sheer Juicy Lip Gloss:

http://img.epinions.com/images/opti/38/50/Loreal_Colour_Juice_Sheer_Juicy_Lip_Gloss-resized200.jpg

I love the Grape Soda flavor/color.


I can't find it in the store around here, but I love Ben & Jerry's Doonesbury sorbet. I can't find a pic on Google, either. I hope they didn't discontinue it.

[Stephanie]

Tracie~What is Coconut Cream Pie and where do you buy Philosophy products? I love anything that smells like coconut and would love to check it out. I think that the label says that it is shampoo, but it's hard to read. Thanks!

[TracieB]

Stephanie,

Most of Philosophy's bath products are three-in-one: shampoo, body wash, conditioner. I just use it as a body wash though. This stuff smells SOOO good... actually, all of the Philosophy products I've used smell wonderful! You can find it here:

http://www.philosophy.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=10001&langId=-1&productId=25683

This one sounds like it would be awesome, too!

[ginastorm]

Not to sound like a commercial, but you can also buy philosophy's stuff from QVC. I've been buying "Amazing Grace" from them for years & I've never had any problems. My mother is addicted to QVC & she told me about philosophy.

LOL These are nipple shells for breastfeeding mothers. You put them in your bra to 'shield' your nipples from your shirt, bra, or whatever you're wearing. They sure do make you look like Madonna or Dolly Parton but they do bring relief to sore nipples. ;)

[Kristy]

Lulu, check out Nordstrom's sale section. They regularly add lots of Juicy stuff, most of it for 50% off.

[tara621]

Kristy - Aren't they great?!! I'm so addicted...I snatched up the green horseshoe ones in March because they sell out so quick...the pink cupcake is cute too!

[Kristy]

DH can't understand why they're so cute. I showed him a picture one day and he said 'So you're going to pay for something that looks like you spilled paint on it? I'll do it for free!'

Sure Sposa - it's my newest 'favorite thing'! :) It's great - it really, really lengthens w/o being smudgey or clumpy on my lashes. It seems like the only mascara I've used that actually looks better the more you use. When I remove the wand from the tube, it doesn't have extra blech on the end that I have to scrape off like a lot of other mascaras do. I don't ever get 'sweating' under my eyes w/ any of my mascara, so I can't speak to that, but the saleswoman promised that wouldn't happen. Maybe someone else can attest? It comes off easily in the shower (I'm very bad about using my eye make up remover), but it doesn't run everywhere if my eyes water (I wear contacts). It is mascara perfection. ;)

And very true, Emily, I am somewhat of a mascara addict. I think this just may have cured my problem, though - it is that good. I own all of Clinique's mascara, plus the Blinc Kiss Me mascara, a NARS, a MAC, a Dior, and a Stila, in addition to a bunch of samples that I get for buying other make up - and Smashbox lash primer, which I don't even need w/ this.

I guess I should say I do have long lashes and they are fairly full (full enough for me), so I wasn't looking for anything thickening, curling, etc - I just wanted lengthening, and that's just what this does. I think that's why it seems so lightweight. Before this I switched between the Kiss Me and Clinique High Impact - mostly the Clinique, it's my second favorite.

[lawyerlee]

The main thing I love about the Blinc Kiss Me Mascara is that it is an acceptable substitute for waterproof mascaras for me. I'm allergic to every freaking waterproof mascara I've every tried, so this is a good option for me.

But for day to day, I'm loving Lancome's Definicils. I just love that it gives great coverage without clumping or gooping up.

Murad Acne Complex has been a godsend for me. It's a little pricier than some lines, but it is by far the most effective thing I've found to deal with break outs. I have really sensitive skin, too, and it doesn't bother me a bit. A lot of WCers recomended it, and I'm definitely on board with them now. If you've got acne problems, *please* do yourself a favor and try it!

The cooling mask is pretty cool, too.

[wendalah]

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but L'Oreal Voluminous mascara is darn good--and this is a former "I only buy Lancome mascara" mascara snob talking! I picked it up in the drugstore one day when I was in a hurry and didn't feel like going to the mall. I've been using it ever since and have recommended to friends.

Other faves:
--Now that I've cut my hair short-short recently, I can finally wear lipgloss comfortably. (My hair always blew into my face and stuck to my lips...ugh.) Chanel Glossimer, oh how I love it. The best!
--My eternal love, White Shoulders perfume. I've finally decided I give up on all other perfumes. This one is me.

wendalah ~ how is the brush on that L'Oreal mascara? I am a Lancome fan now and don't like the drugstore mascaras because the brush(es) are so wimpy.

Where do you all get the Vera Bradley luggage/bags??

[wendalah]

Kari: It's a good thick cylindrical brush. I know exactly what you mean about the brush. I need a substantial one--my lashes are fairly long, but they are baby fine and blond-tipped, so they look non-existent without a good bulky application of mascara.

ETA: I do still love Lancome but I figure, heck, if I can pay 7 bucks instead of 16...and I'm happy with the results...why not.

Republic of Tea Green Chai

I love chai and I'm just starting to love green (when it's loose, at least), so I'd love to know how this tastes. Think you can take a stab at describing it for me?

[apoppy]

Sure,Katy, I'll try.

This tea is mildly spicy and very smooth. It tastes more of the flavorings-- cinnamon, cardamon, ginger and almond--than of green tea. You can let it steep for quite awhile and it doesn't develop that bitter or grassy flavor that some green teas get. I prefer to have it with a bit of honey, although it is somewhat sweet on its own.

Although the picture I posted is of tea bags, I have this as a loose tea.

[Katy]

Sounds great apoppy. I was worried that it might taste a bit 'grassy'. Looks like I'll be needing to pick some up. I know I've seen Republic of Teas *everywhere* but do you mind saying where you picked up this one? My first guess would be to check into CostPlus.

[apoppy]

Actually, it was part of a gift basket. I think I may have seen it at Whole Foods though.

-My green Honda Element - so useful and so cute
-Dunkin' Donuts coffee in Hazelnut - beats any coffee I have ever had, but they don't have any DD down here :(
-Bath and Body Works room sprays - I have them in several scents
-the Fieldcrest Luxury line at Target. I have the bedding and want to get the towels - they feel as nice as the Restoration ones at a fraction of the price
-South Beach, Miami and Playa del Carmen Mexico
-Mavi jeans - not the fanciest ones out there, but they fit me perfectly
-Neutrogena Skinclearing Clean Tint tinted moisturizer - unless I am going out, I can just wear this and it keeps my skin from breaking out

Pumpkin Spice Lattes! I'm conviced the secret ingredient is crack. I like the Eggnog ones at Christmas, but nothing can touch my pumpkin.
Oh dear God in heaven. I truly think I'm addicted to these things. I'm sure even the nonfat has a zillion calories.

I'm also in love with Egg Nog, Borden's full fat Egg Nog. With nutmeg. Soooooo good.

I also love:
Estee' Lauder Idealist Skin Refinisher

Oooh, I have last year's version of that bag in black - it's fantastic. One of the single most useful handbags I've ever owned.

Some of my favorite things of the moment:

http://a1480.g.akamaitech.net/f/1480/124/4h/images.ebags.com/images/Products/55712_sq250.jpg
Kate Spade Dot Noel "Ruby" in Chocolate - it's a discontinued color, so I got it for a steal from ebags.com. It's such a great, useful bag. Not to big, not too small....just right.

http://a1216.g.akamai.net/f/1216/955/6h/images2.nordstrom.com/images/store/product/medium/131355.jpg
SFAMK "Boy-Cut" jeans. High enough of a rise to not be indecent but low enough to not be "mom" jeans.

And, of course, who could leave out the obvious ones:

[rosa727]

Oooh - now that it is the holiday season, I have to mention another thing I love - eggnog with Kahlua. You buy the non-alcoholic egg nog from the store (whatever brand) and then mix it 50/50 with the Kahlua. Then you can use a mini candy cane as a swizzle stick - so cute and festive. I hate egg nog with rum, personally, but this stuff is great!

[Rosebud]

Note cards by designhergals.com. Just bought myself some. They're so cute-- you personalize the girl to look like you.

The "Narnia Rap" from SNL. Weeks later, it's still cracking me up. If you haven't seen it, here's the link:

The "Narnia Rap" from SNL.

I still laugh my butt of at that! I have Chris Parnell's Jennifer Garner and Kirtsen Dunst raps on my ipod!

[tinkerbelljenny]

Rosebud03 I just bought some of those notecards the other day, they showed them on some show. They are really cute.

[EmilyZA]

I LOVE those notecards! Those are a great gift idea, although they are a little pricer than I had hoped. :rolleyes:

[neenbean]

Love all this thread- such great products!

These are a few of MY favorite things...

BOSS for Woman by Hugo Boss~ I began wearing this a few years ago while overseas and I still love it! Not a popular scent, but I really enjoy how it smells on me, and so does DH.
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0009RTBXG.01-AWQ9TQSDNQNVB._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

Dansko Sonja Clogs~ These are the most comfortable shoes ever! Not the cutest, but so easy to slip on and off, especially when carrying DD.
http://www.dansko.com/images/shoe_single/standard_247020202.jpg

Also our Graco diaper bag. Ours is black and dark blue, far more subdued. Its style is so perfect because the pockets fit bottles and food on the outside ends (very accesible), and the strap is adjustable and really easy to accomodate carrying it on your shoulder or across you.
http://www.gracobaby.com/assets/images/product/644BRZ_z.jpg

This bra (Body by Victoria~shaping full coverage) is awesome! After BFing, my girls needed the lift and it isn't ugly. Plus, it is so comfortable. I need to get some more!
http://www2.victoriassecret.com/images/prodpri/V250830_RC093.jpg

[neenbean]

Also, as cheap as it is, good ole' Vaseline seems to be the absolute best diaper cream for DD! The hospital recommended when she was born and I thought they were nuts. I was so wrong! This stuff works fantastic!
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00005C0XO.01._SX150_PC_PE04_.Vaseline-Petroleum-Jelly-Baby-Fresh-Scent-Tub-13oz._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

These Long tank tops from Old Navy are perfect for layering. So many of my jeans are low rise and my shirts are never long enough. These cover anything that may be getting exposed in between that I know no one else wants to see. :p
http://www.oldnavy.com/Asset_Archive/ONWeb/Assets/Product/314/314334/category/on314334-13viv01.jpg

This shampoo and conditioner from Matrix's Sleek line is a life saver! My hair was getting so dry and frizzy with the weather, it has tamed my hair and given it great shine.
http://www.matrix.com/images/products/sleek/smoothing_shampoo_award.jpg

Body Shop's Body Butter is divine! My skin is so happy in winter. I use the Mango and the Coconut scents. My skin is miserable whenever I forget to apply it.
http://www.thebodyshop.com/images/bathpc/products/lg_coconut_body_butter.jpg

As I get older, I realize I am choosing things to that are no longer fashionable, but comfortable and practical... Oh well. There are so many great things, but these are the ones I can think of right now.

[stevesbabygirl]

I love Boss for Women! I haven't worn it in a loooooooong time, but I remember it smelling so good!

[shopaholic]

I can never figure out the brand of those bags. Can you tell me?

[laurenc]

I can never figure out the brand of those bags. Can you tell me?

they are from vera bradley (http://www.verabradley.com) -- but you have to find a store that sells them and go there (usually places like crabtree and evelyn). you can't buy anything new online, although you can get "pre-owned" stuff on ebay.

the cincinnati airport has a vera bradley shop in terminal c, which is where i bought the bag last friday.

[tirams]

I love this stuff! Eau Dynamisante Foaming Body Exfoliator by Clarins. Use in bath or shower and get great soft skin. Not too harsh to use everyday. Feels amazing.

SFAMK "Boy-Cut" jeans. High enough of a rise to not be indecent but low enough to not be "mom" jeans.




Where can I find these jeans? I used to wear my old boyfriend's jeans all of the time because they fit better than any of the women's jeans that I found!

that was on my xmas list and i didn't get it. what's the difference btwn the nano and the regular ipod?


The size difference. The Nano is smaller than most cell phones and really, really thin:

http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/images/compare_nano_off.gif

And here is a regular Ipod:
http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/images/compare_ipod_on.gif


And the biggest difference between the two is the capacity. You can buy the Nano in 2GB; which is approximately 500 songs, or 4GB; which is approximately 1000 songs. The regular Ipod is much, much bigger. You can get it in 30GB; which is approximately 7500 songs, or 60GB; which is approximately 15000 songs!!! :eek:

[Asha]

there is no need for me to have 15000 songs!!! is the nano less expensive?

[jimmysgirl424]

there is no need for me to have 15000 songs!!! is the nano less expensive?


2GB Nano=$199
4GB Nano=$299

30GB Ipod=$299
60GB Ipod=$399

ETA I have the 2GB Nano and haven't even hit the halfway point in the memory capacity. 500 songs is alot!!

Where do you find the Redken shampoo? I looked at Target and didn't see it.

[Katy]

Where do you find the Redken shampoo? I looked at Target and didn't see it.You can try salons and salon supply stores (NOT Sally). I get mine at Ulta, and I some time see it in some grocery stores (just like some Targets, but they don't carry the full Redken line).

[JRPAGV]

Where do you find the Redken shampoo? I looked at Target and didn't see it. Do you have a Trade Secret nearby? They sell Redken. I think they also sell it in WalMart's salon.

Crazy love for the new Oxygenic shower head I found at Bed Bath and Beyond (http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=13719837&RN=670). Our third floor bath shower has the worst water pressure. With the new head it really is super strong spray that doesn't sting and no longer just dribbles on you, rinses our hair out super quickly. I highly recommend it for anyone with water pressure problem. It really is awesome and it uses half the water. Best purchase I've made this year.

They also have a new 1GB Nano that holds 240 songs and is $149.
Or if you are more "budget minded" there is the Ipod Shuffle in 2 sizes as well:
512 Mb (120 songs) Shuffle= $69
1 Gb Shuffle (240 songs) =$99

Spega La Natura Yogurt

It's flying off the shelves of our local Trader Joe's. I may have to start stockpiling it! It comes in little glass jars and is the creamiest, tastiest yogurt I've ever found in a grocery store.


"Flip This House" on A&E (not to be confused with "Flip That House" on the Discovery Channel)

http://www.aetv.com/images/generic_promo_images/320x240/photo_320x240_fliphouse.jpg

I just love this show on A&E! It focuses on Trademark Properties, a small real estate company in South Carolina that buys run down properties, fixes them up and flips them for a profit. The houses are cool, but it's really the eccentric cast of characters involved that makes this show so charming.

Gucci Envy Me 2?!!?!?!???

What does that smell like? I love the original!

[laura]

Hmm, it's like a lighter, slightly fruitier (vs. musky) scent than the original. I liked both, but I thought this was better for a 'summer scent'.

(We were traveling last weekend and I forgot my perfume, so I used it as an opportunity to browse. If it helps, my recent 'winter scent' was Armani Mania and my 'summer scent' last year was D&G Light Blue.)

Try the zucchini flower & truffle soap. It smells wonderful and is a great soap for the kitchen & it doesn't dry your skin.
