Little Favorites

I decided to join Nester's linky party sharing all my favorite things because why not.  We all have our little favorites, right?

I have to admit I've been coveting my hair brush.  It's true and I don't want to remember life before the hair brush. 




This brush has been such a time saver for me and it has protected my hair against dryness.  This brush is ceramic coated which means it straightens your hair while you dry it.  Since the brush is round you curl your hair as well.  Run and don't walk to buy this brush if you have thick unruly hair!  It's called Ceramic + Ion Thermal Brush by Olivia Garden





Next up is the Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin scented soap from Bath & Body Works.  I know it's now December but I'm still loving this scent.  I go into my daughter's bathroom just to wash my hands.  Love it!


And last but definitely not least...this book is amazing!




I only share books on here that I'm passionate about and this one is on the top of the list with out a doubt!  I've been wanting to share it but couldn't find the words to do so.  I wanted to read this book but hesitated for a while because I thought well, I'm really not a good girl so this book isn't for me until I read this blog post and I just knew I needed to read this book.  I'm the good girl #2.  Growing up not going to church as a little girl I didn't have Jesus in my life until I was 25.  Living a completely worldly life and stepping into the Christian life was tough...is tough.  I began to strive and want to perform.  I wanted to be perfect.  I wanted to fit in with all the other 'good Christian women'.  What would they think of me and my worldly past...gasp!  I've been rejected by a few.  I have good girls around me where I don't live up to up to their expectations.  I tried.  Then came Grace for the Good Girl and Peace settled into my soul.  I am me.  No excuses and no explanations needed.  This is my favorite quote from the book,
Grace is not Jesus helping you live up to the law.  This keeps us focused on the law.  Jesus came to fulfill the law so we don't have to look at it anymore.  I no more listen to what the law is saying, I listen to what Jesus is saying. - Dudley Hall
