Get to know me.

Since I'm new to this whole blog thing, I thought I'd give those who don't know me that well a chance to learn more about yours truly. And I thought I'd start that off by telling you about some of my favorite things. (You know, kind of like Oprah's Favorite Things list except without all the cool giveaways. Sorry.)

1. Caress' Evenly Gorgeous liquid body soap. This stuff smells soooo good! I love it. And it has those little grainy scrub things in it that make you feel exfoliated and super clean after you've used it. 

2. My nook. My boyfriend (more on him later) got this for me earlier this year and I'm so happy he did. I love to read and this handy device makes it possible for me to pick up a book and start reading it virtually anywhere. One of my favorite things is definitely cuddling up and reading a good book on my nook.

3. Okay, I've warned you about my obsession with Christmas. And since it's so close, I couldn't write a favorite things list without including at least one Christmas item: Mariah Carey's Merry Christmas II You album. It's wonderful! If you haven't heard some of the songs yet (which I highly doubt because they play them on commercials), you must check it out. My favorites: Tracks 2, 7, 12 and 13.

4. Scarves and cardigans. My motto with these two items is that you can never have enough. They are definitely some of my favorite things to wear.

5. Spending time at the farm. It's simple. It's country. It's remote. And it's lovely. It was a great place to grow up and I like going back to spend time there.

6. My pearl and diamond earrings. (Another gift from my boyfriend. Yes, I think I'll keep him.) They're classic and I wear them all. the. time. Really.



7. Weight Watchers Blueberry Muffins. These little delights are delicious and pretty healthy too. I have them for breakfast often. Pair them with a glass of cold skim milk and yummy!

8. And now to counteract the healthy option I posted right above this, another favorite is the Chick-Fil-A Peppermint Chocolate Chip Milkshake. Talk about delicious! But this bad boy isn't so healthy. I haven't had one this year but it has tempted me every time I've driven by a Chick-Fil-A.

9. Modern Family. This show is by far my favorite comedy right now. I lol several times each episode. And I even re-watch each episode on hulu the day after it airs. I just can't get enough.

10. And finally: my boyfriend. (Warning: This could get a bit mushy but it's all true.) He really is my favorite and I love so many things about him. He's really funny and makes me laugh all the time. He's a giver. (Trust me, I could probably redo this entire list with gifts I have coming from him for Christmas.) He's smart. He's good looking. (See picture below.) He's driven. He'll be a great Dad one day. He's a really good dancer, a model, and I LOVE being with him. Truth.

Alright, well, that is all for now. I'll probably add to this list sporadically. Hopefully it has given you a little insight to who I am and what I like. What about you? What are some of your favorite things?
