Holiday Gift Guide - things I LOVE!

Today I am sharing the things I love most!  All of these would be great gifts for anyone!

Kindle -  I am in love with my kindle.  It is lightweight, easy to download the books and so many of the books are free or reduced price!  Be sure that you include a case for protection (it fits right in my purse) and a light for reading at night!















Glass Dharma Straws - These are one of my all time favorite things.  I absolutley love them.  I use them every day.  They are easy to clean and dishwasher safe as well.  the decorative dots are my faves since they are so cute and wach person can have a different color.  No more drink mix-ups!
















Mychelle Lip Balm - this stuff is GREAT!  My lips love it!  My favorite is the Black Currant/Pomegrante.  It smells good!  These are large, reminds me of the old Bonne Bell lipsticks, but these are much better.  Completely free of parabens or any other chemicals that can harm your body!  It make a great stocking stuffer!

Timeless Secret - I am in LOVE with this line.  I just started using it and I can see a huge difference in my skin already.  So much brighter and softer! And this is less than one week's usage!

Turbo Fire - I can't even begin to tell you how much I love TurboFire.  It has everything I want in a workout!  I've talked about it enough on here, so I'll spare you another gushing review, but if you have any questions, feel free to drop me a line.  I'm happy to answer them!

Eco Tools makeup brushes.  I love these.  Great stocking stuffers!! I highly recommend the bambbo bristle bath brush.  Great for skin brushing!

Aurorae yoga mat - this is one yoga mat that really does make a difference.  It is longer and thicker and has a focal point icon for proper head positioning.  I use mine just about daily! 
















These are just a few of my favorite things!  I'll be back again this week with another great gift guide.

Discussion:  What is one of your favorite things?  What is the one thing you want for Christmas this year?

Holiday Gift Guide - Kitchen edition

I love to cook, bake and be in the kitchen.   I have come across many things that I think are must-haves gifts for those on your list of people that like to do the same!

One of my favorite kitchen appliances is the vita-mix.

 I use mine several times, everyday!  It is pricey, but I think it is worth it.  You can use it for so many things.  Even making nut butters, soups and of course, smoothies.  It is very easy to clean as well and that also helps!


One of my other must-have is my food processor.  The boys got one for me a few years ago and it has made my life so much easier when cooking!  Quick and easy.  (I'm seeing a theme here...)  I really like the Cuisnart brand best of the couple I have tried.

This makes your food prep so much easier.  It is also easy to clean and I think that is so very important.  I love making hummus in mine.







A great set of knives are so important and I love the Furi brand. They have a great handle, it's orange :)  and it's got a great hand feel. 

I have one of these and would love to get a full set!










I saw this and WANT one!!!  Microwave Popcorn Popper!  I love to have popcorn as a snack and this way I don't get any of the extra added ingredients.

The best part is that it is $20!  It has a vented lid that you can put butter (earth balance in my case) and it will drip down on the popcorn!  Love it!

Everyone needs a great salad spinner!  Get those greens clean!

Zyliss makes one that I love! 











A hand peeler is a kitchen staple.  I love mine.  It fits my hand perfectly, the larger handle makes it so much more comfortable when peeling vegetables. OXO makes the one I love!












I love wooden spatulas.  These work in any pan, won't scratch them and are easy to clean  (I told you there was a theme here!)  I ef would love to have thedo have a couple of non-stick pans and these work like a dream!!   Any chef would love to have them!










Also, pot holders, great kitchen towels and cookie sheets, and rubber spatulas are always great gifts!
