Hello, dear friends. I hope that you had a good weekend. Ours was fun for a couple of reasons. We went out for a socially-distant dinner with dear friends on Friday night. And the couple that bought our house came over for a few hours on Saturday morning. The Mister gave them the nickel tour on how things worked in the house. The Couple is darling and brought along one set of parents and one precious Bernidoodle pup named Jake.
The future homeowners are so excited to move into the house. They have great plans for their new home. They are having a chicken coop made to be an exact replica of the barn. They promised to text me a pic.
We will be staying in an apartment until we find a house.
Or shall I say... until we agree on a house.
I'm afraid my posts will be spotty at best for the next few weeks.
I will do my best to post on Instagram.
I haven't done a Favorite Things post since last Spring. The Mister and our #2 have done one, and my #1 and my favorite SIL are working on theirs.
Without further ado, here are my favorite things.
It never fails. I always have to show my face in public a few days before I have an appointment to have my roots done. I usually use the Clairol touch-up but found myself under a time crunch. I ran into Sally's, and the salesperson recommended this spray. It instantly covered my grey in my part and around my face and stayed fresh for the full day.
I used one of these towelettes to take off any residue that I got on my skin.
I forgot my earrings last week in Newport, so I ran into one of my favorite stores and picked up this pair.
They are the perfect size and color.
I also put a few things on my Christmas list.
When my buddy Andy Cohen got back after his Covid bout, he said that his doctor told him that the single most important thing that you should have in your medicine cabinet is a tool to measure your blood oxygen level.
I bought this one because of the reviews.
Hope that I won't have to use it.
When this nightmare of a pandemic began, I decided to upgrade my thermometer to a digital.
Hope I don't have to use this one either.
I bought another one of these for the apartment.
These are great for quick dusting jobs before house showings.
Before we put the house on the market, we used this to polish up our chandeliers and bell jar lighting.
It is so user friendly and works wonders!
I need 3.25 readers, and that strength is hard to find.
I was lucky when I found these cute, chunky, inexpensive glasses.
The bigger the glasses... the smaller the hips.
Feel free to quote me.
When my allergies hit, it usually only affects one eye.
Who knows why.
These drops take the itch out instantly.
I ordered a couple more of these since it looks like I'll be doing my walking in much warmer weather.
I wish I looked this good in them.
I'm going to need some tanned legs if I'm going to be wearing shorts and skorts again.
And my legs have to match my face!!
Plus, this has sunscreen.
I usually wear the innersoles made by New Balance. Amazon was out of them, so I tried these. They worked just as well for practically half the price.
I used this product during quarantine when I was doing my own nails, and I thought it worked well.
Amazon was out of my favorite moisturizer for a while, so now I know to order multipacks.
These toothpaste squeezers are the best.
I bought a few for a couple of my doubting friends.
I just ordered another set of my favorite sheets for our temporary love nest.
This comforter is a great price, light enough for warm nights, and is oversized.
It is perfect for someone who sleeps with a cover hogger.
I'm not naming any names, Mister.
Take it from me... these are the best.
Salad dressings are a lot of calories.
My store doesn't carry it anymore, so I now have to order it.
Have I told you that I am down 2 more lbs.?
I hate to brag...
Our grocery stores cannot keep this stuff in stock, so I have to order it.
I guess everybody is making WW 1-point muffins.
These will be my snack du jour on our road trip.
I said my snack.
The Mister prefers more nutritious foods like Kettle Chips and Nutter Butters.
* Insert eye roll.
I ordered this mat in white for my bathroom.
It is a bright white, which I love, and remains that way after several washings.
It has a firm grip on the floor, so it won't slip when I get up in the middle of the night with one eye open.
I ordered a couple for the apartment.
Sometimes I write posts and book reviews freehand, so I bought one of these to hold my mess of papers.
Of course, I had to order a couple more of these for the apartment, so I can eat my WW muffins and keep those two lbs. off.
My afternoon tea is not nearly as sweet without this.
The Mister and I pop these every morning and night.
Added bonus: they are delish!
I've been using this serum every since my #2 gave it to me.
It definitely brightens the skin and smells great.
I have two friends that are absolutely crazy about this hand soap.
I finally gave in and bought some.
Now I get it.
It doesn't dry my dishwater hands out.
I've become a big fan of the mascara/primer in one.
Our little Chili needs her Prozac wrapped in one of these pockets on a daily basis.
I have been listening to a lot of books while packing.
Here are a few of my faves.
This is a fast-paced thriller about the kidnapping of a Governor's daughter. I was listening to it last week during the chaos in Michigan.
This was my first Mark Levy book but not my last.
This is the darling story of an elevator operator and the lovable tenants in an old apartment building on Fifth Avenue in NYC.
I recently downloaded two more of his books.
Lucky for me, I liked the book as much as the cover.
If you relish a well-written true crime story, this book is for you.
I listened to it in one day.
That's a lot of packing!
I am reading this beautifully written book about a woman who signs away her Downs Syndrome infant at birth.
It must have to do with my Catholic school background, but I can't get enough navy blazers. I recently bought this one and have already gotten a lot of wear out of it.
I now have these in every color.
I love that there are no bulky zippers under my tops.
I call these jeans my pull-ups.
I could barely contain my excitement when I got this shirt for 40% off.
As far as I'm concerned, a woman can never have enough turtlenecks. This one is 50%, so I got a few.
Don't tell the Mister.
Great price too.
We have always counted on St. Joe to sell our houses over the years, and he has never disappointed us.
I ordered the statue, and believe it or not, the poor guy got lost in the mail. I thought that I would have to send St. Anthony out to find him! He finally arrived, and within 24 hours, we received the perfect offer.
I sent St. Joe to Connecticut to help sell another house.
By the way, it's Prime Day.
See you soon.
Until next time...
Linking up with:
