Favorite Things #19

It’s been months since the last edition of elaney’s Favorite Things!  So meet the latest – the Capri Blue, Volcano candle.  As a girl who loves candles, in the morning, in the evening, at weddings, at parties, while reading in bed, etc, a candle needs to be pretty good to call it a favorite.  For many years, Votivo in Red Currant was the  pick (#18 on favorite things list), but Capri Blue trumped Red Currant in such an upset that we were willing to do back to back candles on the favorite things list. Boom.  So check it out.  It’s amazing.

Dressing It Up

One time we heard on Oprah that women get the majority of their fat and calories from salad dressing.  That sounds a little bit like an early nineties – TAB infused – high-cut hip leotard statistic, but just in case, it’s probably worth finding a healthy alternative.  Try this dressing from Vermont based Maple Grove Farms.  All of their dressings are delicious, but this one is just tart enough for almost any mixture of salad.  Bon appetit!

New Year – New You

As much as Oprah’s new age “new you” babble makes us feel like we just ate way too much cotton candy and then hopped on the tilt-a-whirl, we do love a little self improvement (love a self help book too, btw), and what better time to improve than New Years?!? 

We have lots and lots of New Years Resolutions (last year’s was to start a blog – might’ve been the first one ever kept).  What are some of yours?

Cruise Back on Oprah

Back in 2005, Tom Cruise jumped couch on Oprah and started a media nightmare that still continues.  We love some Tom Cruise antics and are happy to report he’s back to risky business.  Tom will be appearing in two episodes of Oprah.  The first (May 2) will be shot from Cruise’s home, and the second (May 5) will be from the infamous sofa.  Can’t wait!
