Happy Friday!!! Happy Favorite Things Friday!!! New readers, I don’t do deep thoughts on Friday. I keep it light and list three “anythings” that I really like and recommend for you to try. Please check out previous Friday posts for other “favorites” and please add some favorites in the Comments section, as I’m always looking for “new favorites.”
As I was pondering my favorites, I thought of a woman I worked with once, who had a funny little idiosyncrasy. Whenever I would express an opinion, such as, “That’s a lovely shade of blue,” she would answer, “Correct.” (kind of like Alex Trebek) She never said, “Incorrect,” that I can remember. I didn’t know her well enough nor did I think that it was my place to “correct” her grammar and to explain the difference between opinions and facts, with only facts truly being able to be “correct or incorrect.” Further, she seemed to think that my opinions were “correct” a lot of the time and I liked that fact. Anyway, this is just a long way of saying that the items that I recommend on Fridays are just my opinion and it’s worth a try, to see if I am “correct” (in your opinion) about what is good. Here we go:
Forza Mirror (Z Gallerie) – I just bought this gorgeous, big, round mirror for the hall bathroom that we had remodeled. I LOVE it! It is huge and detailed and beveled and silver. I love that it adds a modern, glitzy look to an otherwise classic style room/cabinetry. It seems like a little taste of Miami flash on an otherwise preppy, traditional outfit. It’s like that fabulous favorite belt that brings together the whole outfit. Candy for the eyes!
Too Faced Sun Bunny Bronzer – I live in Florida. I’m supposed to look tan all of the time, but at the same time having an “actual, sun-imposed tan” is frowned upon. (On an aside, my friend and I were giggling shamefully about our younger years when the only sunscreen we applied was Baby Oil. She said that she added a little iodine in hers, for color. Then we would fry, get blisters, peel and tell ourselves that it would soon “turn to tan.” Thank goodness for progress in skincare.) Anyway, this is my favorite bronzer. It looks natural, not too orange and I like its name, “Sun Bunny.”
TUT – Notes from the Universe – I have been getting these “Notes from the Universe” in my email for years now. They are so inspiring and uplifting and I think that the founder of TUT, Mike Dooley, is an excellent spiritual teacher. Let me share today’s note:
“Think of someone very, very special to you.
Now feel yourself bursting with love for them.
Now mentally shower, drench and soak them in all that love.
Now mentally shower, drench and soak yourself in My love.
Cascades,
The Universe”
You are loved, my dear readers, more than you could ever know! Drench yourself in my love, your family’s love, your friends’ love, your dog’s love, God’s love, and have a great weekend, you, love sponge, you!!! And this is fact, absolutely CORRECT, FACT!!!
