My favorite things this year
Well, thought I, Oprah's not the only one with favorite things to recommend. I would love to be able to spring each of these on you, to hear your shrieks of joy as I announce....
"and you're all getting one!"
You would pretend to be all surprised each time but by the end you'd know before I said it. It's yours; bring it on. Instead, until my media empire comes to fruition, mine is more of a self-serve favorite things list and a chronicle of my year. These are the sights, sounds, and smells of 2007 for me.
I would love to hear about your favorite finds of this year so be sure to send me a note if you create one of your own.
These tweezers: It's a bird, it's a plane...no, it's..it's Tweezerman! Painless.
Kiehl’s molding paste for hair: great for keeping my straight hair static free
TiVo*: okay, we got it a couple of years ago but I still adore it
Sufjan Stevens’s Christmas album
My new brown suede boots
This bookcase (recently ordered for my front room)
Jet Blue airlines (It's like the love child of Southwest and Virgin Atlantic...try the “most legroom” section)
My Keep calm and carry on poster (a good reminder and motto...I've seen it several places since, including on a t-shirt in London)
My MacBook (received for Christmas last year & named Clementine)
World globes grouped together
New York Sunday Times*
Trader Joe’s Grapefruit Camomile Sea Salt Body Scrub
YSL touché éclat concealer (already sang its praises here)
Once (again, read my previous gushing)
Nivea lip balm (nicely creamy)
Gap's Long and Lean jeans (make me feel both, although I'm neither)
Diet Coke* (especially the cute small bottles)
Subway veggie sub* (toasted. with provolone. Mmmm.)
Green olives (this is new! I used to hate them)
Book favorites to come....
Now it's your turn!
*not new this year but still wonderful

I also love the Yves Touche Eclat. It is well worth the price.
I love that you've named your computer - my kids name EVERYTHING in our lives. My car is currently called Honda Solo, my computer is Little Stie, and Josh's car is Thule (after the bike rack on top). Glad we're not the only ones!
I love your lists. I'll be holding out though on some of those things until you're that media mogul giving it away!
I took some notes this time. I MUST see Once. Will be Tweezermans- I am obsessed with tweezers, and will buy Nivea lip balm and Gap jeans. Thanks for the product endorsements.
Maybe one lucky reader could get one of each? (I'd just be happy with that cool cool bookcase).
Today's favorite thing? Sweet potatoes. I put it in the oven when I take my nap and it is all soft and warm and yummy when I wake up and it keeps me full till dinner.
I would love it if you gave me that cute red bookshelf too! That would really look cute at my house. Love your taste. Great list!!!
