Friday Favorites - Goop Gift Guide

So I wrote this suppppper long post with all my favorites from the Goop.com holiday list and then I went to grab the five on Friday logo and lost everything! Two hours of work down the drain! Dah!! So here is the second version where I left off a few things. 

BUT on to more important things. Kudos to Gwyneth for doing what Oprah failed to do! Goop.com did an amazing job of ridiculousness and affordable. If you don't know Goop.com is a blog that Gwyneth Paltrow owns. So Gwyneth from now on I will be anxiously waiting your gift guide instead of Oprah's! AWESOME job!! 

Without further adieu here we go.... 

For me!

My favorite perfume in candle form! Citron de vigne candle

Need about 10 of these for around my house! Preserved Myrtle Box

Obviously. CHANEL Flap Bag

About 1/4 the cost of the one I wanted from Anthropologie. Now I can afford the coordinating mittens! Zara PomPom Hat

Because I don't have enough kitchen gadgets right? But this reminds me of living in the North End of Boston and one of my favorite cafe (Cafe Victoria)! Venus Family Expresso Coffee Machine

Every dream kitchen picture I post on Pinterest has fresh peonies in it. Since I have my dream kitchen then I obviously need this. Flower Muse Peonies Every Month

I have wanted one of these for 15 years! One of these days! Mason Pearson Handy Brush

Totally jumping on the coloring bandwagon! Koh-I-Noor Tri Tone Colored Pencils

Love RMS and perfect stocking stuffer! RMS Beauty Lip Shine

For the hubby!

Because I have the maturity of an 8 year old boy. Post Poo Drops

Now this is something my husband would buy for me! Drives him nuts that I don't squeeze the toothpaste properly. Cedes Milano Toothpaste Squeezer

My husband is the ultimate napper. I could totally see him busting this out at a family function. Ostrich pillow Original

So he would love this! We have a salt water fish tank so this would be the next step. The Darwin Tank

And for naps I am pretty sure we would be fighting over this heated bench! Galanter & Jones Helios Heated Lounge

And of course we can't forget the babies!

Pretty sure this kitchen is nicer then ours (I kid I kid)!! Chelsea all-in-one kitchen

And for all the special ladies in my life!

Because if I can look like Gwyneth I will try anything. Devi Steamer Seat

I seriously have about 15-20 other things I loved but then I would basically be copying her entire list. Definitely check it out at Goop.com

Christmas 2015 List - For Me!!

Since Oprah released her Christmas List last week I feel that I should also release mine. Since my Mom has asked me a gazillion times what I want. Although, after our past few shopping trips I may have already reached my max!

Anyway, can you believe Christmas is 7 weeks away? I feel like it is going to sneak up on us so fast and we have so much to do. Maybe it is the fact that Starbuck's is serving holiday drinks or Target has their Christmas decorations out but I can't wait for the holiday. Today I thought I would share some of the items on my Christmas List!

Also, if you haven't signed up for eBates yet NOW is the time! It is free to sign up and all you do is search for your store and then shop normally. They even have a tool that you can download so you don't have to go to the site. When you go to the site it will prompt to ask you if you want to save with eBates. To date I have received $121 back and I joined in February. Not bad? They also have a great referred program. If you refer 1 friend you get $5, 2 friends $45 and 3 friends $50 which equals $100 cash back. It is worth it just to get all your friends and family to sign up. Click here to a post that I did earlier this year with details about eBates.

Of course I should be responsible and ask for money for new furniture for our home but that isn't fun!

Anthropologie

• ·      Cat Domesticated Trinket Dish – For my daughter's bathroom. Maybe I should move that to her Christmas list!!
• ·      Sidonie Pom Beanie - I love a good pom pom hat. And always have to get new ones each year because so does my kitty!
• ·      Rosebud Layer Necklace I thought this was so pretty and something I could wear year round.                                                                                                
• ·      Tie Neck Swing Blouse – Blue Size Medium Because I just love my blouse shirts. I feel dressed up even if I am just running to target!

So yes Mom this is my final Christmas List! Have fun shopping!! What is everyone asking for?

Five on Friday: Oprah's Favorite Things 2015

Favorite one. OPRAH's FAVORITE THINGS!!!

Am I the only person that LOVE's Oprah's favorite things list? I love looking for new products not to mention some of the ridiculous products (last years post). Here are some of my favorites! You can purchase all of them on Amazon.com too! Which to me makes life so much easier since I order EVERYTHING on Amazon. I will say I am slightly disappointed in this list. I didn't feel it had as much crazy ridiculous stuff (minus the dog fur coat) and had lots of repeats from past seasons! But here are 4 of my favorites!

Favorite 2. I keep trying to get my husband to wear matching monogrammed pajamas for Christmas morning. He thinks we should coordinate! But how cute are these Burt's Bees Family Jammies?

Favorite 3.  I just love this. I may have to get a dog just so they can wear the Frontage Faux-Fur  coat. Do you think Armondo my cat would wear this? Not to mention it is only $39! Haha!!

Favorite 4. These Vince Melange Sweatpants are needed desperately so I stop looking like a homeless person going into/out of my daughter's swim class. And for a price tag of $195 I better be wearing them every SINGLE day! This might be slightly pricy for sweatpants. But on the other hand my sweatpants are so old and gross!

Favorite 5. And I have a copy of the Ad Hoc cookbook on my kitchen counter so obviously I need the salt cellar too! But for $49 I may have to pass. So cute though!

Have you looked at the list? What are your favorites?
