Heart and Habit

COLD 911 TEA – 911 for your cold, but in tea form. It’s soothing and super addicting and I swear it helps me feel better faster – even if it’s just in my head. When I don’t have a cold, it tastes a little strong but I think that’s a sign of how awesome it is.

HOMEMADE MAP – We have somewhere to be, in a jiffy King will draw up a map – just so we don’t get lost. These little things are gems, not too sure how I would get anywhere without them.

THE YOGA MAT OF YOGA MATS – my closest friend, gifted me this fine Jade Yoga Mat and boy do I feel silly that I practiced so long without her (it’s totally a her and she’s beautiful). It’s super duper grippy and with just the right amount of cushion, it’s improved my practice drastically – no more slipping and sliding.

THE PERFECT WINTER BOOT – In my opinion, Sorel boots beat all others in the winter department hands down. And this style the 1964 Premium Leather, are my favorite (not too high, not too short and just the perfect width). This is my second pair in this style, my first pair broke and they replaced them with a brand spanking new pair – so their customer service is also top notch.

ORGANIC BEAUTY PRODUCTS – I’m sorta a doofus when it comes to makeup (see also, I know nothing about it). But really love basic beauty items; like my lip stain, mascara, face wash, straight up vitamin E and coconut oil and now these products from TruSelf. So far I’ve only tried the Raw Honey Lip Gloss and the Raw Body Butter, but I’m hooked enough to try more items from the line. So gentle and perfect in my simple yet (mostly) chemical free beauty bag.

THE HEADPHONES (AND THE HUSBAND) – Both fit perfectly on the list, but the husband is not for sale. These headphones are great, they are comfy in the ear and they don’t fall out (I have a big problem with headphones like this never staying put).  We hear they are great for running and I’ll report back when the weather gets a little nicer for this guy to start doing that again.

BEST FRIEND IN WATER BOTTLE FORM – For Christmas Chris bought me a new water bottle, my previous Kleen Kanteen was very well loved (super duper beat up). I carry this baby with me everywhere, the handle is my favorite, extra easy to open when I’m all sweaty from yoga and it’s just really pretty (plus it has the same wide mouth that makes cleaning super easy).

1. COOKIE DOUGH, OH COOKIE DOUGH – Sweets from the Earth makes some of my favorite quick grab baked goods. I could take bets that no one would ever notice that it’s vegan and gluten free, it’s 10 times better then that Pillsbury stuff – restrictions or not, try it and thank me later. sweets from the earth cookie dough.
2. THE BEST LIP BALM – hands down, there is not a better cure for chapped lips. It’s a bit intense, so might be best saved for those super chapped days – when your lips are chapped, this is the guy you call to get the job done. carmex lip balm
3. FAUX LEATHER BIKER – I’m a fan of good faux leather jacket, half because I feel a bit uncomfy wearing an animal skin and the other half because real leather is way outta my price range. This is the faux leather biker jacket of my dreams. zara biker jacket
4. LIPS AND EYE MUST HAVES – I don’t leave the house without them! The tint is always on my lips and cheeks, going on 5 years now – it’s the perfect every color lift. And I recently switched from Bad Gal to They’re Real and wow, it’s two jump kicks better – and I thought the Bad Gal tube was the best there ever was. benefit they’re real mascara . benefit benetint
5. THE BEST HOODIES – Hands down our favorite hoodies, Dad is the only one who doesn’t have one – I need to fix that, stat. We love basics, and this basic goes a long way and gets worn almost everyday. american apparel adult hoodie . kids hoodie
6. THE BEST SOAP – No joke, this is hands down the best soap around – it really is a magic soap. You can use it for more then washing your body, a little goes a long long way and it’s always a good read in the shower. The first time I ever bought Dr. Bronners soap, I kicked myself for not buying it sooner – I could have saved so much money trying to find a great no chemical, eco friendly soap if I had bought this off the bat. dr. bronners soap (peppermint is our jam)
7. GRANNY CART – For city dwellers this baby is a life saver, or at least a back and arm saver. After I got rid of our stroller, I needed something to stack my groceries in – and this little grocery cart came to my rescue. It’s also Harlow’s favorite job.
