Favorite Things 2025

 

Hello! Welcome to Favorite Things 2025! We're a bit later this year but hey! we've been at this for 16 YEARS so we're ok. Today my sisters are sharing their favorite things and you guys all love them because the things they recommend are truly their favorites, not something they are paid to say are their favs. They've all been here before so please welcome: Kristine, Natalie, Kristin, Kelsey, and Kerri! 

* Cakes Nipple Covers (Kerri) One of my most worn items this year! They are incredible quality. Even after wearing them in the hot tub, ocean, and working out in them daily they look the same as the day I received them. I have removed all those annoying swim and workout top bra pads and use these instead. I love that they adhere with your body heat preventing them from moving (super important for me while teaching group fitness classes). 

* SkyJo Card Game: Top card game of the year (Kerri)  We had some babysitters bring it on our family ski trip and our whole family has been obsessed ever since.  I love that my husband and I enjoy playing this with other adults as well as our 6 and 8 year old. Bonus: It has helped my 6 year old learn addition with negatives...she can total her score so quickly now!

* Stain Treater Spray: works on tough stains - a laundry essential. You don't want to miss it! (Kristine)

* Vuori Villa pants: Most versatile pair of pants in my closet.(Kerri) I wear these to work, while traveling/leisurewear, to the beach/lake, at theme parks, and date night. Great quality, easy to wash, and don't wrinkle. They are thin and cool for summer months and dry quickly. I own three pairs and talk myself out of buying more regularly. 

* Coco & Eve Face Tanning Micromist: I'm on my second bottle of this! Love to spritz before bed and wake up with some glow. (Kristine)

* Wal-mart Gold Bracelets: Beautiful, cheap bracelets! (Kerri)  So easy and quick to put on. Look much more expensive than they are and really elevate an outfit. I wish they were available in silver too! 

* Favorite gloves for winter running/hiking (Kristin) Before I found these I would always bunch my hands up together in a ball so my fingers would stay warm, and then would end up taking my gloves off halfway through my run because they were too hot. These are perfect because my fingers can stay together to keep warm and when they are too hot I can just roll the mittens up and I don't even know they are there. :)

* Tarte tartelette tubing mascara: I've tried them all. Tubing is where it's at! Unless you are deathly afraid of spiders — then it looks like their legs when you take it off. (Kristine)

* Retainer Cleaner: I love this foam cleaner for my Invisalign retainers. (Kristin) They keep my retainers clean, freshen my breath and even whiten my teeth.

* Home Planner: I still love planners. I love writing things down, planning things out, checking off lists and this is still my favorite one (Kristin)

* my new fav lip balm! As delicious as Summer Fridays, but actually hydrates my lips. The marshmallow is my favorite. (Natalie)

* Sourdough kit: I love this for my sourdough starter - it keeps everything contained with the covers but still allows it to breathe when I set it out. (Kristin)

* Pureology Color Fanatic Leave-in Spray: love, love this for my color treated hair! It moisturizes, protects and smooths. (Kristine)

* Roborock Qrevo Series Robot Vacuum and Mop: Kelsey and Kristin are both obsessed with this one. My favorite household item is my Roborock. She is amazing and makes my floors look clean without hours of work. The best part is coming home to vacuum lines! (Kristin) 

The Roborock vacuum has been the star of the year for me. It maps your house, it’s so smart and it’s just so nice to push a button and go. I have had other robot vacuums that I was not impressed with but this one I would recommend to anyone. Saves me so much time and just is so nice to be able to set it and leave and come home to a clean cleaner house. (Kelsey)

* GoBiotix Prebiotic Fiber Boost : I mix it in my water every morning and it’s just a good way an easy way to get fiber it does not make you feel bloated or heavy or anything like that. I just love it and I feel like it’s really helped my gut and overall feeling good. (Kelsey)

* Elf Skin Bronzing Drops: this is a good dupe for drunk elephant drops when I need a sun kissed look to add to my foundation or to better match me when I'm darker than the current shade I own! (Kristine)

* Sojos Sunglasses: these sunglasses are just super affordable and I feel like they are just so cute and chic. (Kelsey)

* Charlotte Tillbury Kissing Lipstick in pillow talk fair: this is the perfect light pink nude color goes with everything. (Kelsey)

* Striped shirt: this long sleeve top is just a classic piece that when I don’t know what to wear I just throw on with some jeans and sneakers and I’m good to go (Kelsey)

* Downy Wrinkle Releaser: this all-in-one spray fights wrinkles, static, and odors. I hate ironing so this is a must-have for me! (Natalie)

* Christmas Tree nightlight: this is just the coziest touch of Christmas to put in any hallway. It’s very nostalgic and reminds me of growing up. (Kelsey)

* Ruffle Collar Cardigan: this is so cute with the ruffle collar. Goes great with everything. I just love that. It’s a little more feminine than other cardigans I have. (Kelsey)

* Spa Headband + Wrist Towels: I love these! I didn't even realize how annoying soggy sleeves were. No more soggy sleeves at bedtime! (Natalie)

* Maybelline Super Stay Matte Liquid Lipstick: I'm a never without lipstick kind of gal and this lasts me all day! I use 5 colors and smudge on a highlighter to lighten or brighten every color. (Kristine)

* Floral Tissue Paper: just so cute and makes any gift feel a little bit more custom and special. Pair with these bags and you are set (Kelsey)

* Cheirosa 40: this perfume is such a good light scent that if you want to put something on, but you don’t want it to be too heavy, it’s perfect. One of my favorite things this year. (Kelsey)

* Velvet Caviar Phone Case + Magsafe Grip: I love this attachment for my phone case.  It's a strong magnet so it stays in place, but so easily removable if I want to charge my phone or don't want to put it on that day. It's a must-have when watching a movie on your phone because it props it up when you turn it on it's side.  (Natalie) 

* Cordless Lamp: is the perfect addition to any bookshelf or kitchen just gives off cozy light and it’s rechargeable, which is very convenient. (Kelsey)

* Green Plaid Tablecloth:  Melissa and I saw a similar tablecloth in a boutique for $100. This is the dupe that I found and I love it. Comes in multiple colors. I have the green and navy blue and have been very happy with them. They wash well. (Kelsey)

Well, that was fun! Thanks for stopping by — come back tomorrow for some more favorites!
