Friday Five: Favorite Things


Friday Five:  Favorite Things

Who doesn't love favorite things?  I feel like Oprah ...
 
 
But I'm not giving anything away.
calm down

One.  Kate Spade Planner


I am picky about planners & calendars & journals. I was doing a Bullet Journal for awhile & really really liked it. But it's not good for planning ahead & I need a calendar with the next year in front of my face.  I had to make some adjustments on the pages that were for August - October to make it work for me & now its perfect. I have this planner with me every where I go.

TWO. Ginger Ale


I'm not a big soft drink person & I don't like the ingredients in Ginger Ale, but being sick lately, it's felt like a great treat to me.  A 12 pack literally lasts me a month... so I'm not gorging in High Frustose Corn Syrup.  But it is a favorite treat right now.


THREE. Knitting

No, this isn't made for a dog... but I had no one else to model it

I am so thankful I found how to loom knit so I can still make knitted goodies.  Its not as 'pretty' to me as regular knitting, but its something that keeps yarn in my hands - & makes me pretty neat cowls.  I'm happy to say I've knitted a few Christmas gifts this year. Something I never thought I would be able to do again with my shoulder injury.


FOUR.  Online Shopping


I haven't ever been a real on line shopper for Christmas but I have really taken advantage of it this year.  On Thanksgiving, I was all about Kohl's & got the sales that would take place when the store opened.  We always get their down comforters that are $24.99 for every size.  Those things are the WARMEST blankets ever & I've been known to stand in line for HOURS to buy them every year.  When I saw I could get them online, for free shipping & no lines to stand in?  Oh yeah... a favorite thing. 


FIVE. Young Living Diffuser


The dry air in all the buildings I am in lately is KILLING me.  I feel like my throat & lungs are drying up to a jerky crisp.  My eyes & lips are close behind. I'm going to be on the hunt for a humidifier this weekend but for right now, I'm enjoying my Young Living Diffuser that puts moisture in the air... with some lovely scents that you add.
I seriously brought it with me to work today.  That's how much I need this right now.
 
What are some of your favorite things right now?

    I'm still truly shocked that anybody shops in real life anymore. For things other than clothes. I always have to try clothes on unfortunately but otherwise if I could do everything online and never stand in another line my life would be complete!

    I love Gingerale, and rarely meet others who do:) I'll drink it sick or not, LOL I am one of the few people who when the flight attendant comes around for drinks, I ask for Gingerale and most the time just get handed the entire can, LOL
    Hope you get feeling better soon!

    If not for online shopping I would still be Christmas shopping up to the very last minute. I'm so happy to be done!
    Also I am so jealous of your knitting talent. I have always wanted to learn and have tried to, but it always goes horribly wrong.

    I so agree with the awesomeness of online shopping.

    Ginger ale is the only carbonated beverage I'll drink! :P
