Favorite Things

Danielle over at Butler, Party of 2 is hosting a new link-up for favorite things.  I got to thinking about my favorite things and found my list broad and unique.  So, I'll just share a few things that I use often that I consider my favorites.

My hands down, favorite beauty tool is the Japonesque Go Curl Pocket Curler.  I have never met another eyelash curler that gives this much precision and long term curl.  I've recently tried several others and I ended up returning them.  Don't even try an off brand of this style of curler.  It doesn't stand a chance to this.





Now, this may seem like Mr. Study's favorite thing, but it also happens to be mine too. It's a Traeger Grill.  This is no ordinary grill.  It smokes and grills with natural wood pellets. No icky propane or chemical infused charcoal. You actually taste the food.  It's a great way to cook healthy too.

Another favorite beauty item is Anastasia Brow Fix.  It's a brow wax pencil.  I use this with a blonde brow powder to fill in my light eyebrows.  Using powder alone would never stay all day for me, so using the wax first gives me all day wear that looks natural.






Mr. Study and I love a good cup of coffee.  One of our favorites is Alterra Coffee Roasters from Wisconsin. My sister brings pounds, yes POUNDS of this home when she visits.  I just received a package from her yesterday with a pound of Alterra in it.  What a fantastic surprise!  We call this our weekend coffee.  We drink more costly and fancy coffee on the weekends when we can sit down and enjoy it.  During the week we drink grocery store coffee.  Silly, but as much coffee as we drink we could keep a Colombian village fully employed.

 Another favorite of mine is Ace Cabinet, Door & Trim paint.  I'm in the middle of painting all of our trim, doors, and most of cabinets in our home.  This is a semi gloss enamel that smooths on it's own after painting to leave an almost coated look.  It's beautiful and durable.  I know it's an odd favorite, but I've been using it alot lately. I've even painted some furniture with it.  Check out our entertainment center that was painted using Ace Cabinet, Door and Trim paint.
