Kristen's Favorite Things

Oprah has hers, and so do I.

Here, in no particular order, are some things I've recently come to love, and I am wholeheartedly recommending them to you.

1. The CHI flat iron.


Never underestimate the power of the CHI. I am convinced that somehow, this product could rule the free world.


2. The PedEgg


I think I laughed at this product the first time I saw it advertised on TV. Hm. Who's laughing now? Still me, cause my feet look great. Get it at http://www.pedegg.com/



3. Cubeicals


This is a storage system I got for Finley's room, and I ended up getting one for my living room too. It has cubby holes with fabric drawers. They hold lots of toys. Lots. And they look cute. This is some of the best money I've ever spent.


4. Blue Bell Centennial Cupcake Ice Cream


Cake batter flavored ice cream with cake bits, chocolate icing and sprinkles. Yes...you read that right. Mama!


5. Sabatier Cook's Knife


My brother got me this for my birthday and I love it! I never knew what crappy knives I had been using all these years. When Jonah saw it he asked if it could slice a pineapple in mid-air.


6. Eve's Addiction


This is a website that specializes in sterling silver jewelry and their stuff is fabulous and...yeah, I'll say it...cheap! Check it out at http://www.evesaddiction.com/


7. The Sun Jar


I got this for Christmas from my mom. It's a frosted mason jar with a solar cell, rechargeable battery and LED light inside. It charges during the day and lights up at night. It's so cozy. Get one at http://www.elsewares.com/commerce/Sun-Jar_MPD841.html



8. All The Freed



It's good. Really good. I can't even explain how proud I am that that's my husband. Check it out at http://www.independentbands.com/cd/toddwright/allthefreed.html



9. Bare Escentuals Brow Kit



I LOVE this! It comes with an angled brush and a powder (dark blond/medium brown for me). It relieves my fears that I'll look like my great-aunt Ruby, whose eyebrows appear to be applied daily. Check it out at http://store.bareescentuals.com/brows/BE_SUB_BROWS,default,sc.html


10. Three Bin Laundry Sorter


I've always believed that my family has more dirty laundry than a small country. I can't tell you how much easier my day is since I bought this item. Go get it at http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=12413602

There you have it. Go shopping!

I just started a blog and added you to mine because I think your blog is hilarious. I've been reading it ever since Kacie sent me a link to hers. I've got the cubeicle and the chi iron and love 'em too. I'll have to check out the other stuff!

I really want a chi, but they are so expensive!

Angela said...

I just bought a Pedegg yesterday for my mom....and one for myself. I love it! They have a wall full and refills at BB&B.

The CHI does rule.
I need that PedEgg! But the commercial is rather funny.

Wow, this is a very good list of favorite things. I love Bare Essentuals too, but I haven't tried the brow kit yet, I'll have to order it next. I'm interested in the Laundry sorter, but I don't have a laundry room. I think I may have you beat on laundry now that we have three children. I have more than a medium country :). With no actual laundry room it's very hard to manage. I could do three loads a day and not ever get done. Definitely could use the pedegg, but it grosses Justin out big time. I would have to use it secretly. Oh, and I love my knife too.

All The Freed rocks! And the PedEgg does too.
