Best of Favorite Things Party

 Have you ever been to a favorite things party? Each person brings one of their favorite items with at least a $30 value. You draw numbers and open them up accordingly. When its your turn you can either open a new gift or steal something that someone else already opened. An item can be stolen twice. The second time it's stolen it's dead, meaning no one can steal it and it belongs to that person. Its a fun twist on the traditional White Elephant game because you get to bring home something good that someone else loved and try new things! This year while I was there I took notes on some of the best items that kept popping up and will share below...

The Stanley Cup... this is what I brought this year. I love having mine and actually use it when I play tennis. Its easy to transport and stays cold all day! These are currently sold out but they have smaller versions and often restock so put this on your list for the future. They're awesome!

This year I scored and came home with one of these Pura home fragrance systems. I have been wanting to try these. You plug them in, use the little fragrance refills and can control the strength of the scent and turn it on and off with your phone! I love this because I am really sensitive to smells and don't want anything too strong. They have all sorts of fragrances you can use and change out! A great gift to get or give.

The next one is something I have yet to use so I will share one of the thousands of reviews posted about this miracle firming cream... This product smells like HEAVEN. I use it every other night and I can FEEL how it tightens my skin the day after I use it. I sometimes use it just for the smell too because it’s so delicious.

Ok so normally I wouldn't think to bring something like this or even look for something like this but the girl who brought this raved about it! When its that time of month and you're on your first day or two, who likes to wear a pad? Not me! insert these period panties. She explained that she uses them on heavy days when she doesn't want to wear a backup pad. Or maybe when you're super light and don't want to wear a tampon at night. This is on my Christmas list this year and I can't wait to try them.

We shared the budget friendly mascara favorite yesterday but this is the fancy "name brand" mascara that was a hit at the party. It makes your lashes long, its super easy to come off ( you only need warm water) and just the best.

This next item was stolen right away as well and something that we both own and use all the time. This Lululemon fanny pack fits so much, is small enough to not be in your face and makes being hands free so easy!

We both have long hair and both also use the next hot favorite things item... Olaplex No. 3. I use its every couple of washes to deep condition my hair.
