Here to Tell Ya ... About Things You'll Buy & Love

Gals, I'm here to tell ya about things you'll buy, love and one day thank me for recommending. And if not it's because you already own them and know their greatness!

Think of this list as 'Sarah Louise's Favorite Things', except I can't give them away like Oprah does. #sorrynotabillionaire

Note: the Bible is my greatest possession!

Yeti Coffee Mug

I'm a Mamma, so I need something to keep my black coffee piping hot!

Sonicare Toothbrush

Keeping my smile shiny & healthy is of upmost importance!

Rowenta Iron

I can't stand wrinkled garments!

This brand of irons is by far the best!

Tanner

The days of panty hose are over!

this takes the edge off of my blinding legs

Planner

I'm a list maker! And clearly old school but I just love writing things down.

Earphones

These are essential to my everyday. They wrap around my tiny ears and the only things that don't hurt and stay in place while I'm running and jumping up and down during my workouts.

I also use them for phone calls with my gal pals so that I'm handsfree and productive while I chit chat.

Sound Machine

We've been sleeping with this for 15 years! Vivian does too. 

I even travel with it. 

Dyson Vacuum 

Worth every single penny!

Cleanliness is next to Godliness and this keeps our home spic and span.

Hanky Panky Panties

I've been wearing these for 11 years.

They are the only thing I wear. I wash them on delicate cycle and air dry.

Your undergarments are just as important as your outer. They're comfortable and do not give VPL.

Bosu Ball

One of my favorite pieces of workout equipment.

Crisp White Shirt

Classic & in non-iron a staple in my wardrobe.

I suggest buying several.

Red Lipstick

Feminine and bold. This lipstick is soft and lasts all day.

Earrings

You'll see these delicate hoops with almost every outfit I share.

They are my absolute favorite & I've had them for about 5 years.

Each and every one of these products gets a two thumbs up and I would buy (and often do) over and over again. They've impacted my life in such a way that they'd be on my list of things to take if I was ever stranded on a desert island.

A Little Help From My Friends

 Gals, we can't do it alone. If you've tried you know you can't. We are strong, smart women who will push through to the end, but still we need help.

Everyone has different needs, challenges and responsibilities. Gracious I beg you, don't let comparison steal your joy!

Instead, let's embrace our friends and their lending hands.  And when I say friends I mean that literally and figuratively.

Here are 5 'friends' that get me by each day ....

1. Jesus - Wake, Pray and Slay (that devil is after you the moment you open your eyes). And we don't need  him holding us back from all the we have to accomplish throughout our day.

Of all the things you do, being in His Word is the most important. It is an outfit of armor and grace. 

2. Coffee - then there's this. Getting Piping. Hot. Black. Coffee. in me is also important. And there's no better way to do it than alone in silence, so I'm up before the chickens to enjoy my sips. This coffee mug was a gift and it blesses me! It keeps that magic bean water hot no matter how many times I walk away from it. It's crucial for the afternoon cup amongst the busyness.  

Please excuse all of Vivian's smudges

3. Balls - Since the gym closed it's doors, at home equipment has become essential. I used these at the gym but now their role is crucial in modifying exercises to keep them challenging and fresh.  I incorporate basic moves while on the Bosu ball upside down or leaning over the exercise ball. Challenging yourself is fun and will make you stronger. I also use medicine balls for various exercises.

4. Wireless headphones - I can't not live without these! I wear them while I exercise each day listening to music. They also allow me to stay connected with my friends with phone calls.  I can chit chat and complete tasks at the same time. While face to face time has it's challenges, it's important to have verbal conversations so that you can experience laughs and encourage one another. FaceTime is even better!

5. Agenda - I know it may seem a little old school but gracious I make a list for everything and there's just something about physically writing something down that keeps me organized.  I love the hands on element.  It also helps me remember things and give me satisfaction when I can cross something off the list. I've been using this agenda for several years but I also think this one is amazing!

Each Day is a Gift, and thank goodness for helping hands that make it just a bit more joyful!

Dress Beautifully Throughout the Day
