These are a few of my favorite things...

Oprah does that "favorite things" show, which is awesome and all. But, what are real women's favorite things? I always want to know what real women can't do without, whether it's the perfect wine or bathtub cleaner or what-have-you. So, here are mine (in no particular order) and I'd love to know what yours are. Please let me know!

Charle's Shaw Chardonnay (otherwise known as Two-buck-chuck at Trader Joe's)

This Gilligan O'Mally's lace bra (in cream, white and black) at Target that costs about $10. It lasts about 6 months, but if you have to buy it twice a year, that's not bad for $10 right? By the way, this is not a picture of me, if you hadn't guessed yet.

Seven7 Jeans at Kohl's. They aren't the cool "7's"...but at $39.99 they are the best fitting, best looking jeans I have bought myself in my 28 years of life.

I could use any $1 shampoo, but this conditioner is something I'll go looking for at 1 am if I don't have it in my shower. It takes years off your hair's life. And, for someone who highlights their hair waaaaaaay too often, I need this....every time I wash my hair. It's awesome. Even when I was in my "adult video blonde" stage....this stuff saves your life.

Why wax at an expensive salon when surgi-wax allows you to wax yourself at home? Alright, so I haven't exactly mastered the bikini wax, but for eyebrows...this is the stuff. No weird honey-based weirdness that doesn't pull off right...no weird strips...no weird perfumes. You just paint this stuff on the bad hairs, wait about 10 seconds and pull it off. It's very old-school. Once you get it on, it ain't coming off without taking with it the hair that it has attached to. But it's awesome and it gets the job done quickly and for about $5/pot. You can't argue with that.
