Neely’s Favorite Finds v.1

Hello wonderful readers!
Today I am starting a new series on the blog called Neely’s Favorite Finds
I will be talking about every category under the sun but trying to limit it to 4 or 5 things at a time. 
1. Flipboard app for iPad: This is basically like making your own magazine of things you want to read. My favorite categories include: Politics, Celeb gossip, sports, World Events, Economics, DIY and Food. You pick the topics you want and its sent right to your iPad it looks just like a magazine 🙂
I LOVE THIS!

2. La Mer Lip Balm: I have said this is the only lip balm you will ever need. Thats a lie because at any given time I have at least 5 in my purse. Lip balm, gloss chapstick all things that are very important to me.  But this one is different. It doesn’t take a lot to have your lips feeling amazing. The price is a little steep but it lasts a long time and is totes worth it IMO.

3. Hobo Lorna Bag: This is the only purse I am purchasing for the Fall. Why? Cause its the only one I need. I’ve been looking for a 2nd cross-body in a camel color and I FOUND IT. Reasonably priced and the perfect size, Its already a top fav in my bag collection.

4. Butter London in Dahling: The only color that has been on my toes for 3 months. I splurged and purchased it after always requesting it when I get pedicures. I adore this color. I am more of a dark color person for my toe nails especially in Fall/Winter so this perfect for me.

5. Swan Creek Candle Company: Chad actually turned me on to this. He told me his parents gave him 2 candles for an apt warming gift and I was like “OK thats very girlie of you” haha. But seriously I see why. My favorite one is the  Warm Cinnamon buns which I have by my bed and in my bathroom I have Pumpkin Spice(shocked?). You can light these and they will burn for over 45 hours or don’t light them and your room/bathroom/house will still smell amazing! I never light mine 🙂
What are some current finds you are loving?
P.S. A very very happy birthday to my sweet blog turned IRL friend Amber @ Brunch with Amber. Go wish her a very Happy BIRTHDAY! Also E @ Adventures of E! Happy Birthday lovelies!

Also don’t forget my New Friends giveaway!! 2 posts below 🙂

    I love Swan Creek candles!! They’re the best.

    And you’re so right about them smelling amazing, even when you’re not burning them. We got a wedding cake scented one as a wedding gift (duh) and I have it on a shelf near our bedroom door… every time I walk by I can smell it… And it’s amazing.

    Seriously just barely catching up on reading some blogs, so thanks for the birthday shout out!
    Sorry we missed each other this Texas trip, but know I’m thinking about you and your dad and the family. Let me know if there’s anything I can do for you. Even from Hawaii, I will do what I can, if you can think of anything!
