Favorite Things

Every Tuesday Sarah at Fiddledeedee writes about her favorite things. I have decided to (try) do this. There are so many things I am thankful for and yet my most favorite changes from week to week, even day to day.

One of my favorite things is my LightWedge We do a lot of traveling since we live so far from our families and my husband hates for me to turn on the light in the car to read. I wrote about it here a while back. This month alone we will be traveling 700 miles (round trip) three weekends in a row. I would go crazy without my LightWedge!

Favorite Things

Most of my favorite things have come via trying free samples. I hate buying something only to find out after I get it home, it is not what I expected, I do not like it, or it was just a total waste of money. I am a creature of habit when it comes to purchases.

My laundry detergent may not be the best, or even the best for me. It is dependable and I already know it therefor, I buy it. A free sample gives me the opportunity to try something new before deciding if I should spend my hard earned money on it.

Some of the samples, coupons, or free after rebate items that I have switched to after trying are:

Cover Girl Lipstick-

Free after rebate from Walgreens is now my lipstick of choice. It makes my lips soft, comes in just the right colors, and is long lasting.

Caribou Coffees-

I would have never bought these without the .75/1 coupon that was tripled at Harris Teeter. They are now my favorite morning snack and I will continue to buy them (hopefully with a coupon)

Pantene Pro-V Shampoo-

I was sent a HUGE bottle of Pantene Pro-V Shampoo from mysurvey.com to try for six weeks and then give my opinion in a survey. Loved it! My hair felt soft, healthy, and had a new shine to it.

Happy Perfume by Clinique-

A favorite of mine for many years but, got renewed after receiving their Valentine's day sample. I am a "Happy" girl again.

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser-

A must have at my house! A dirty handprint on the wall vanishes with one wipe. I stock up with buy one get one free sales and coupons.

Tide with Febreeze-

Just smell the freshness!

The love of books

I saw these (LightWedge) on Oprah right before Christmas and I WANT ONE! I love reading when I go to bed but, I hate when I get just about ready to fall asleep and I have to turn the light off. I am wide awake then and ready to read some more. Also, the perfect gift for any avid reader. We travel quite a bit and our trips are on average 6hrs each way. My son has a book light that he reads with but, I am thinking this would also be great for him to use when we are traveling.
The perfect book light A revolutionary new book light for nighttime reading. Patented LightWedge technology directs all the light only on the page you are reading, without bothering someone sleeping next to you. The larger-sized LightWedge Original is ideal for hardcover books and large paperbacks. Whether reading in bed, reading on a plane, or reading in a car, the LightWedge book light is the perfect accessory for all readers and an ideal gift for travelers. 40 hours of light from 4 AAA batteries (not included) Measures 6.75” x 9.25” and weighs only 8.5 oz. with batteries.

I am also getting this book The Sister Knot by Terri Apter, for my daughters to read. (Of course, I have to after they read it on here)

Why We Fight, Why We’re Jealous, and Why We’ll Love Each Other No Matter What
Breaking new ground in women’s psychology, an exploration of the intricacy, friction, and love in the bonds between sisters.

If anybody has a boat loving husband, or anybody else for that matter like I do, you need this Free subscription to Go Boating Magazine. Of course 2 boats are not enough...we always have to be on the lookout for new and improved.

Elle Decore Magazine (free) I love getting decorating ideas from this magazine.
