1.) A clean house. God bless my mother however, growing up our house was always in the shambles. Not like Hoarding-style or anything that extreme.... just messy ALL THE TIME. I vowed that as an adult my house would always be tidy. Things in their proper place, floors clean, bathrooms and terlits spotless (no poopy marks or peepee marks) and no dog hairs in the corners of the kitchen is the way a home should be kept. Going further, a good smelling home helps a clean home. I always have a candle burning and Bath And Body Works plug-ins in strategic places. (The scent I have right now is "Winter." It smells like cloves, clean air, slight pine and Christmas rolled into one.)
2.) Spaghettio's and meatballs. Not the imitation brand. No Spaghetti Rings for this chic. I'm talkin' Chef Boyardee shit. The good shit. In fact, I may have those items for dinner this evening. Sophisticated and classy.
3.) Puppies. I don't care what anyone says: All puppies are cute. My dog Kasia, and maybe I'm biased, was the cutest porkiest smooshiest puppy ever that landed on Earth from Jesus. She had magical softies puppy fur that slowly mutated to dog hair. Her paws were chubby and fat like spatulas and ideal for petting and smelling. Additionally, puppies make all your pain go away. It's a fact and I should win the Nobel Peace Prize for that finding.
4.) Sweatpants. Sweatpants are the factually the most forgiving item of clothing one could wear. They don't make you feel fat. They enhance the mood in any situation. They make grocery shopping more fun.
5.) Good highlights. As a dishwater blonde, I have struggled most of my adult life with the best hair color. I'm too fair to be a brunette; not blonde enough to be a whorish Pam Anderson blonde. Pay the money, find a good hair colorist and stick with that person. There is nothing worse than brassy highlights (or "herlights" as I like to call them). Also, buy yourself some blue shampoo, or toning shampoo to help maintain that gorgeous buttery, baby blonde hair.
6.) Confidence. This is a toughy for me being on the "Favorite List" however, there is a loophole. Being in sales and having to be introduced, do the introducing, etc I encounter lots of different styles of manners. Some bad, some good, some down right shitty..... If you can handle yourself and be poised in a new situation, then God bless. Some non-work related people I know that don't know how to behave amongst adults ..... well, it is just sickening. Sickening. Shake someone's hand upon an introduction. Speak clearly/don't fucking mumble. I'm not Miss Manners by any stretch however, I do know how to state my name and seal it with a shake.
7.) Yankee Candles. This goes along with #1 (a clean home). I love candles. Chris hates them because he says I always forget to blow them out. Whatever. Scenario-- someone swings by your house unannounced: even if your house is messy and dirty, a lovely candle will mask most odors of farts, burned food and dog. Scents I like include: Meyer Lemon, Early Sunrise, Mountain Lodge and Fluffy Towels.
8.) Last but not least, Pandora. Bread radio kicks ass. Try it. You won't be sorry.
