It’s that time of year! My favorite things for 2020 post is here, and I think I’m more excited about it than you are? 🙂 I love looking back on the past year to see what I truly love…and then rationalize spending the money on it by writing a post. Ha!
Let’s get right to it, shall we?
- Hmm. Is it bad to start off with booze? I’m a huge fan of eggnog, but when I had this Evan Williams eggnog at a family Christmas party a couple of years ago, it was a game-changer! It’s strong (in my opinion), so it’s such a good sipper throughout the evening!
- This little portable heater is my new best friend! I’ve used an old one for years in my classroom, but it finally died. I love this thing so much that I brought it home from school to use during my virtual teaching. It oscillates, has two heat settings, and even has a cool fan for when those hot flashes hit! Oy vey.
- I know. It looks like a computer mouse. But this thing! It is a SILENT computer mouse! I keep my laptop in my living room, and I like to be on my computer when we’re watching tv. Needless to say, the clicking was getting annoying. I was worried this wouldn’t work right, but it’s brilliant!
- I love the Raskog utility cart from Ikea so much that I have three of them. The versatility is endless, and this green one had to be mine. Simply because of the color.
- This personalized puzzle is such a favorite that I’m about to buy my third one in one year! It was the perfect way to get us through quarantine, and it proves to be a sentimental pastime at family gatherings!
- Ok, listen. I’ve been a fan of Victoria Emerson bracelets for a long time. But when she came out with Apple watch bands????? Every. single. time someone sees them on me, I get a compliment. The one I have is pictured above. And I may have just purchased another one.
- I started putting this powdered collagen in my coffee about a year ago, and it changed my hair dramatically. I was losing hair like CRAZY, and it was really starting to concern me-like panic concern. I put one (flavorless) scoop in my morning coffee, and that drastic shedding has stopped! Now I swear by the stuff.
- My pasty white skin is always in need of a self-tanner in the winter. My daughter uses this Isle of Paradise, and I “borrowed” it. It’s so nice! I recommend spraying it and rubbing it in with a daily moisturizer for the best coverage, but it’s so natural!
- We recently had a shed built for our backyard, and it inspired me to finally put in a cut flower garden (ten years after I originally wanted one, but who’s counting?) Floret Farm’s Cut Flower Garden book has been an invaluable tool for me! I have pages marked, lines highlighted, notes taken…and let’s be honest-the pictures are gorgeous!
- For all my tall girls out there, I saved the best one for last. Long leggings! I’m 5’9″, and I’d say my legs are about 5’7″ of that. I have never been able to wear leggings without tall boots because I couldn’t find them long enough. These leggings are awesome! I bought the 34″ inseam, but it goes up to 36 inches! They are also high-waisted and fit beautifully. You’re welcome.
WHEW! Pretty sure all that typing brought me to my blogging quota for the year. I’m exhausted. Ha! Well I hope you were able to find something from my list!

Well, hello. Ahem. Allow myself to introduce..my..self. My name is Chris! And I’m a blogger! I got into blogging after spending months reading all the inspiration that is found in blogland. I thought to myself, “Self, I can do this. I might have something to offer too!” And so it began...
