My 12 Favorite Things this year

In the spirit of the holidays, I decided to post a few of my favorite things. Some of these things I have and some are on my wish list.


1. Carol's daughter Jamaican Punch Shea Body Lotion


This is one of the best lotions that I have ever had. I had the priviledge of shopping in the original small Brooklyn store when I lived there.

2. OPI nail color Lincoln Park after Dark

I typically wear a plain creamy white OPI natural color, pale pink or this winter color Lincoln Park after Dark. They are all fabulous and great gifts.


3. Aveda Carribbean Therapy Bath Bar

This is awesome soap. It moisturizes your skin and leaves it feeling like you just put lotion on. I really enjoy using it in the summer time. It is a treat that I splurge on every couple of months.




4. Melaleuca's Sol-u-Mel cleaner

This is a product that we use regularly in our home to get stains out of our closet, freshen the bathroom and containers. It is a wellness product and excellent for those who prefer environmentally friendly products.



5. Digital Picture Frames



Target has these frames marked down for the holidays. This is a great gift and they are an excellent way to show your recent pictures in your home by placing it in a visible area. I recently purchased some on sale for $59.00 each that were originally priced at 100.00. They hold 200-400 pictures, depending on your settings. One will be a gift, and I am keeping the other!



6. Flip Digital Mino Camcorder



This little mini pocket recorder is pocket size. You can take this along in your purse and catch photo shots of your little one. It can be plugged right in to your lap to to view it on your computer and save it. You can also look at the mini video with sound on the device. They run about $179.00 This is a must!

A girlfriend of mine showed me several different video clips of her 6 month old son that she took. I plugged it in to my laptop and the picture quality was actually very good. Its great for the new mom on the go.



7. Tiffany & Co. Business Card Case

An alternative to Tiffany's is Things Remembered.

8.  Tiffany & Co Beaded bracelet and necklace

This duo can be dressed up or down with any outfit and it is timeless. 

9.  Clear Mascara by Maybelline

This is great stuff. It is excellent for brows. It gives them a polished look daily. 

10.  Blackberry World Edition

This phone is awesome. You can get your emails pushed to the phone quickly and check your blogs. It has a lot of nice features. In addition, it can be used internationally while traveling. 

11.  Happy by Clinique

This has been one of my favorite sweet scents for about 10 years. It smells sweet and fresh and it has a reasonable price. 

12.  BMW 750 Li

This car is awesome. However, it just received a recommended to purchase by Consumer Reports after several years of poor reliability and maintenance issues. The ride is great, the safety is great, and the bells and whistles are off the chain. However, the reliability was not the greatest for a car of this type. It was not recommended in the past. Our household is big on reliability and my husband was not impressed with the fact that each year when we looked it received very poor ratings. It is still on my Favorite List for this year. The great thing is that it did finally get a recommendations. Maybe next year!
