After last year’s first ever Favorite Things get together with my gal pals, I knew this would become an annual event. I think the timing of it around Valentine’s Day is perfect, because we all could use a little self-care these days.

This year we met up at the newly opened Teddy Maroon’s (fun because our group is made up of five Maroons and a Roughrider) for dinner, drinks and a gift exchange.

Here is the loot we left with:

[Skinnytaste One & Done Cookbook]
[Merle Norman Lip Pencil Plus in Mystic Pink]
[Vital Proteins collagen peptides, Tile, Mindfulness journal, Bing drink]
[L’Occitane Verveine hand cream, Gong Fu Tea, tea strainer, Stam Stroopwafels, soap from Eden]
[TAZO tea, wool socks (similar), Buff headband, colorful turban headband (similar)][Dogpatch Urban Gardens chapstick, homemade Elderberry syrup]

And last, but not least, my favorite things this year were:
Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre
Ozark Trail Ot 10oz Lowball Tumbler
Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend
