Oprah inspired me once again and I wanted to create a blog about my favorite things. I am going to try some new things here with pictures and links…so…ahem…lets see how this works. I present (in no particular order)…
Brandelyn’s Favorite things…
For Spiritual Inspiration:
Joyce Meyer’s Everyday Life Bible
Seriously, with all of the insights and one second prayers, this book has definitely stepped my game up! And of course I couple this with
Solo A devotional by Eugene Peterson:
This book…Is ridiculous…Utterly amazing devotion and there are no dates on it, just days, so you don’t feel all pressured if you miss a day. Spoken from experience of course. LOL!!
Brandelyn’s Grooming Habits
Now, if you know me even a little bit you know I have an obsession with Carols Daughter.
Carol’s Daughter is like an answered prayer for me and has definitely helped me increase my swagger! I love it!!
My favorite products are:
Black Vanilla Hair Collection
Love Butter
Tui Hair Oil
Jamaican Punch Collection
Sephora also carries their products if you want to go in and smell for yourself, but Carol’s Daughter can do no real wrong in my eyes and I am a lifelong customer!
My other obsession is with a company called LUSH. LUSH is all natural products for the entire body!
My favorite thing is the Soft Coeur Massage Bar. Made with Cocoa butter and chocolate, this adds just a hint of goodness to your everyday life. I love it!!
Their Bath Bombs are life changing!! My personal favorite is the Mr. Butterball bath bomb.
This bath bomb leaves your entire house smelling like cocoa butter and vanilla and your skin feeling like soft silk. Amazing!!! Love it!!!!
SWEETS:
Now y’all know I have a mean sweet tooth. My favorite thing in the world is (Now) red Velvet Cake. God knows my heart and gave me the gift of Marita’s Sweet Potato Pie Shop home of the world’s greatest Red Velvet Cake. Their cupcakes are a mere $2.50 and are worth every single penny. Amazingness… Shout out to Marita.
WEBSITES AND BLOGS:
The Young Writers Block: This is an amazing meeting of the minds that I am so excited to participate in! Good stuff!!
Alice Walker’s Blog: Nuff Said
Be Leather: Keeps me up to date on current events, music, celebrities and fashion, while maintaining a high standard of fabulousness! I love this site!
Noah David James: Thoughts, Poems, paintings, and insights from an emerging artist. This man is the one to watch.
Journal of a Sojourner: The blog of one of my favorite poets and fellow classmate. This man is amazing!!
Medicine for Melancholy: this is a blog i discovered through Twitter. I love the rawness and honesty of it all. Awesome.
For All My Lovely Curvy Ladies:
Old Navy’s Plus Size section is where its at. Unfortunately its only online, but once you discover your size, and read through the reviews which are extremely helpful, your style will increase without breaking your budget in no time. Fantastic times!!
I just bought a beautiful coat that I vow to wear as often as possible! LOL!
Yes, Old Navy gets major points with me!
Periodicals:
I know this is cliche… but Oprah’s magazine is amazing! Like my good friend and Editor Elosi says, "Every time I read this I feel like a new woman!" Touche my friend Touche.
I could go on and on about my favorite things but I can’t give away all of my secrets!! I hope you enjoy!!
Peace Y’all
