Lisa’s Favorite Things Giveaway!

At The Point
55 Comments

There are so many little things that I use and love that I decided to share them with you.  I know how much I like to get tips from my friends on a great product, so I thought I’d let you in on some of my favorites:

1.  Redken 18 Quick Dry Instant Finishing Spray.  I discovered this hairspray about 6 months ago and I love it.  It goes on dry and doesn’t make your hair stiff.  But it has great hold.  I like to tease my hair a little to give it some lift and this product works great for that.  I carry it in my purse and give a quick mist when I am out of the house.  I love this little purse sized bottle.

2.  Better Than Bullion.  This stuff will change your world.  You will never be able to use canned chicken broth or bullion cubes again.  Seriously, it will make your soups taste like a chef prepared them.  When we are sick I can just put a bit in a cup of hot water and it tastes like a fresh broth.  They have a lot of different flavors and every one of them is amazing.  Your life will be changed.

3.  Big rings.  I am cuh-razy about big rings.  One of my favorites is a ring that we made from a bit of the wire that comes off of our hay bales here on the farm.  I get so many compliments when I wear it that I’ve decided to list it in our shop and I’m going to give one to you.  It will make you smile.

4.  Monogramming.  Speaking of our shop, you all know I am wild about monograms.  I would monogram my children if they would sit still long enough.  I am so in love with my His & Hers hand towel that I think you need one too!

5.  Uniball 207 Gel Pens.  I kid you not, this is the best pen I have ever used.  It writes so smoothly and easily.  They tend to disappear around here because we all love writing with this pen.  So I hoard them.  I am putting two of them in my giveaway because you’ll need one to use and one to hide from your family, the pen stealers.

6.  Fels Naptha Bar.  This is an old-fashioned stain remover.   I have never found a stain yet that the Fel Naptha Bar can’t handle.   Just wet the bar and rub it on a stain.  A little scrub and the stain is gone.  Of course, it works best when the stain is fresh.  It may take several tries on an old stain. I keep one under the kitchen sink and one in my bathroom.

7. OPI Nail Polish.  I like to have a clear polish on my fingernails and this stuff will NOT come off.  No matter how many dishes I do or goats I tend to, my nails always look nice and shiny.  A girl’s gotta know what’s important.

8.  Young Living Essential Oils.  In the last few years I have fallen in love with essential oils.  I use them for any and all ailments from colds to bursitis.  My favorite oil is peppermint which I use mostly for headaches and stomach aches.  Sometimes I rub a drop behind my ears and sometimes I mix it with a carrier like coconut oil and massage it in.  I even like a drop in my water for a bit of mint flavor.  This little purse sized bottle is a great starter.

And the best part is that I am giving away everything I’ve shown you.  All you have to do is subscribe to my blog and leave me a comment letting me know you’re a subscriber.  If you’re already a subscriber, just leave a comment telling me so.  If you Tweet, blog or post about it on Facebook, come back and leave me a separate comment letting me know and I’ll give you an extra entry.

I’ll be drawing for a winner in one week, Sunday January 23 at 9 PM.

    I’m a subscriber, of course 😉

  5. I’m a subscriber, of course….I love your creativeness, crafty ways and your stories of your beautiful family! You are considered a friend, and since I live vicariously thru the internet these days, I always have a good time sharing your blog! God Bless and Love you and your family…

  13. I think I’m a subscriber. I’m a follower, and I have you on my blog roll on my blog, is that the same thing?? I don’t use a feed reader thing, so I hope following counts. What a sweet give-away! (I have a US mailing address if needed……)

  14. I won’t enter your giveaway, but thanks for the list of favs. I have been looking to find a good source of essential oils, I will be check them out.

    Have a great week!

  15. Wow! What a great pick me up on this Monday morning! Please enter me.

    I really do enjoy your blog and hope you have a great time at Blissdom!

  18. Oh, I’m loving this giveaway! I am a subscriber already…because I always need a good laugh. I’m really enjoying reading your blog!

  19. I’d love it if you linked up to my Motherhood is Calling Mondays!! It’s pretty simple in that you can link up any post, past or present, bragging on your kids, relating funny stories (although all of your posts do this!), sharing tips or pretty much anything and then link back to me. I just wanted to have a place on my blog where other mamas can feel encouraged and supported. I know that sometimes I feel a little bit like “Is this normal?”

    I hope to see you there!

    PS I really dread baking with my kids, pregnant or not. But like all things related to motherhood, that’s where the sacrifice comes in.

  20. I have been a subscriber for about a year. I know you in RL and I love you. I love you not ONLY because you are creative, witty and have a great haircut. I could make a whole list of reasons, but that would only make you blush.

  21. I don’t think I am a subscriber….last time I tried posting on this it didn’t work but I LOVE how I can read them from FB. You always have fun blogs and things to read. Well here I am trying to post so I can be in the drawing :)! What a fun idea.

  22. What a fun giveaway for a Monday morning filled with a sick mama and sick little ones at my house. Been a follower of the blog, and love your humor and encouragement!

  23. I am an RSS subscriber–hope that’s right. I can become an e-mail subscriber if necessary. Just let me know. Thanks so much for the giveaway!

  28. I’ve been a follower for a while….. I secretly try to be you when nobody is home… it doesn’t work too well… you’re much more talented than I am… *sad day* 😉

  29. Lisa, I LOVE your blog, and I’m so sorry it takes a giveaway to get me to comment and tell you so! I am a subscriber and read your posts via a feedreader, and there’s that extra step to get to the comments, but it’s my loss, since I’m sure your other readers leave fabulous comments! Anyway thanks for the great list of favorites, and for your great blog. Have a great time at Blissdom!

  30. I am a devout follower of anything you say…. 🙂 Where do you get the Fels-Naptha stain remover? Is that a local price tag? I love that place. 🙂

    Love you too,
    Pennie

  34. How sweet of you to give away some of your favorite things, I like reading about things others have found that they really like, saves some time and money if you already know that one works much better than another.
    thanks,shelia

  39. I am a subscriber! So glad to hear about some of these things – I like clear coat nail polish, but could never find one that would stay on for more than a day or two. I have Fels Naptha soap (don’t remember why), but didn’t know it was good stain remover. I also didn’t know Peppermint Oil was good for headaches. You are full of all kinds of good information!

  41. I just found your blog thru The Inspired Room. I love it! It is not your typical blog. I appreciate that you have a kids portion of the blog. Love that sweetness. Your family if beautiful. Have fun at Blissdom!

    Blessings!

  43. Love, love,love the Better Than Bullion! We use the organic because it has no diary, but we love all the flavors – I even add a spoonful to my green beans and my kids eat them up!

    Love your blog and so appreciate all that you do for me! You are my spiritual lift every day!

    P.S. Just in case you were wondering I’m entering for my sweet mom.

  48. I believe I was probably one of the first subscribers. Always learn something new when I’m here… sometimes just new about you.

  49. I follow your blog and will repost this to FB too in case any of our mutual friends miss reading your blog today (which they better not 😉 😉 I love your favorite things….this is a fun way to share a piece of yourself. I will say that this blog does not do justice to how much fun and how truly wonderful you really are….I do dream that one day I will grow up to be just like you 😉

  50. I subscribed after spending more than an hour catching up on your years since i lost your address and you (must have) lost mine! <3
