Favorite Things

Ok... enough Halloween.

I'm moving on to: Christmas!!!

I know, I know. We haven't even had Thanksgiving. But really, isn't Thanksgiving just sort of an extension of Christmas? I think so.

So in order to more fully enjoy the season - I'm going to share some of my seasonal favorites with you over the next couple of months. As I find them, as I get inspired - it'll be like a big seasonal surprise!

To start off - it wouldn't be the holiday season without:

Mrs Meyers! You know my obsession - and this year, their seasonal scent is SO yummy. So yummy, in fact, that I bought up 9 bottles of dish soap, a few hand soaps, some counter spray and a candle. I can't tell you what I'm going to do with them - shhh... it's a surprise.

So without further adieu... I present to you Mrs. Meyer's Orange Clove. I hope she doesn't mind me stealing one of her photos (sorry Mrs M) but I'm hoping she'll have a little grace toward me if I bring a few more dollars her way.

Yum Yum.


I'm also hoping to get my orange-clovey little hands on one of these:

Doesn't it sound holiday-licious?

*Hot Tip* The Orange Clove is on sale now at Fred Meyer! Run!

Next up: Theo Chocolates. Now, I've heard of Theo for a while now but had never tasted their chocolate until recently. A few of my friends have toured their factory and I was impressed with the fact that they're local(ish) - Seattle. And of course, very impressed with the fact that they're organic. But most of all - it tastes a-MAZE-ing. Especially their holiday flavors - of which I've sampled several. Specifically:

Peppermint Stick

Nutcracker Toffee

Gingerbread Spice

And now that I'm looking at their web site, I cannot for the life of me figure out why I didn't buy any of the Milk and Cookies. Must make a trip back to Fred Meyer (which is where you can purchase them - at least locally. AND! They're also on sale right now)


And finally - at least for now - I haven't tried this particular favorite yet but it is sitting on my kitchen counter waiting for me. But seriously - how could it be anything but crazy delish?

Oregon Chai Peppermint Original


So stay tuned! I have my Christmas playlist on my ipod, I'm dreaming of knitting projects and gift ideas. There is more seasonal goodness to come!!

Glad to know I'm not the only one with Christmas on the brain already! Can you believe I've never tried Meyers??? I'll have to pick some upat Freddies this weekend. :)

I love Theo! Did you see the apple cider caramel chocolates on their website?! I love their holiday stuff.

My skin can't handle any scented soaps, but I'm definitely going to pick up some counter sprays and candles. Having holiday-themed cleaning products gets me so much more motivated to clean!

Never tired any of this stuff either!! I wonder if there is someplace locally where I could go catch a whiff?? I am already giddy about Christmas too.

Who needs Oprah when you have Cutzi! This is great and much more in my price range, not that I wouldn't love to have a $200 dollar pair of casual cashmere sweatpants that Oprah may recommend:)
