FAVORITE THINGS 2016!!!!!!

Ok folks, here we go!  I used the =rand() function in excel to pick the winners.

Wrinkle Releaser - This is probably my favorite find for the whole year!  I was complaining about how I hate ironing, and my mom told me to just use wrinkle releaser.  What the what?!  You just hang the shirt after you pull it out of the dryer and spray it down.  The next morning the wrinkles are gone.  Some fabrics work better than others, but it works!  I use it on t-shirts, jeans, dress shirts, even Jake's church shirt. I LOVE this stuff!  WINNER: SNORT SAUCE

Eyebrow Scraper Blades - Everyone has facial hair.  Some people think that only boys need to shave their mustaches - WRONG!  Even if your facial hair is blond or grey, it is still visible.  So... how to get rid of it?  Scraper blades!  These are awesome!  They work on dry skin and are easy to use.  My little girls have the famous Glauser brow - so I may or may not have used these on them.  They think that they tickle.  So seriously, every person needs to have these on hand.  Mustache, beard, sideburns, unibrow, cheek fuzz... it helps with it all!  WINNER: AMY BODEN

Belt Hangar - Ever get frustrated when you dig around for a spaghetti undershirts and they just unfold and get all messed up?  How about keeping your bras organized in your dresser?  This is my solution.  I use belt hangars!  I hang the tank tops, both straps on the same hook.  Similar colors together.  I've been doing this for years.  But this past year I bought another hangar for my bras.  I just hang them, one strap on the hook and the bra hangs vertically.  So much cleaner!  WINNER: CAROLYN GLAUSER 

Lysol No-Touch - No touch hand soap.  Need I say more?  I have tried 3 different models and this is the best.  The only down side is you have to buy their special hand soap.  Less germs.  Less mess.  WINNER: JAMILOYCE

Oil Vault - These cool things are the modern version of the consecrated oil keychain.  These are little envelopes the size of a credit card.  Each contains one single drop of olive oil.  And the prayers for a priesthood blessing are printed right on the back.  WINNER: ASHLEY FURNESS

Here Are More Favorite Finds.........

Elastic Waist Dress Pants - I hate jeans.  Like really hate them.  I was left wearing sweat pants all the time.  I finally decided I needed to get some new pants.  As a happy medium I wanted to wear dress pants.  I went to Dillards and found a whole section of cute pants with ELASTIC WAIST BANDS!  I got 2 pair and I love them!  They fit so well and there is no waist gap or buttons poking out.

Eyebrow Mascara - I hate when my eyebrows get all messed up during the day.  Simple solution: eyebrow mascara.  You just comb your eyebrows with the brush and they stay in place.  Easy peesy!  

Toeless Tights - Have you ever wanted to wear a peep toe shoe when you need nylons?  I was so excited when I found these gems.  Now I can wear cute shoes and have flawless looking legs!

Project Fi - I bought a new phone and switched my cell provider to Google's Project.  It works so great for me!  If you use less than 3 GB of data a month (I'm always home, on wi-fi) then this might be a good option for you too!

Personalization Mall - We bought water bottles with the girls' names on them.  They love having their very own cup and no one fights over them.  I love the quality and how easy they were to order.

Lock Laces - The girls all get shoes with laces this past year.  That was just too many bows to tie every time we left the house.  So I bought lock laces for all their shoes.  So perfect!  They could take their shoes on and off all by themselves!  

Baby Vitamin D - Since I have breastfed all my babies we have used a lot of Vitamin D.  With the 3 older girls it was a nasty syringe full of brown liquid.  But with Skye we discovered these new Vitamin D drops.  One single drop you put on your breast right before feeding.  No gagging.  No throwing up.  Just a healthy baby!

Silicone Rings - Christy showed us these awesome rings!  I bought one for Jake and a different brand for me (thinner) and we love them.  So comfy!  Now Jake has a wedding ring he can wear dirtbiking.  I have a wedding ring I can wear doing dishes and changing diapers.

IKEA Foldable Bags - This little bag has come in handy so many times.  If folds little and it's super lightweight.  I keep it in my purse for those random times you just need an extra hand.  It has held shoes, coats, artwork, snacks, trash, blankets, snacks, etc.

10ft Charging Cable - My new phone, Nexus 5X, uses the new USB-C charging cable.  I bought some new cables to put around my house.  The longest cable I bought is ten feet long.  I use it next to my bed for changing my phone at night.  I love how I can plug my phone in and still play on it while lying in bed.

Hydr-8 - After having Scarlett in the hospital they gave me a water mug that looked similar to this.  I LOVE this mug.  I used mine every single day for five years.  It got gross.  I found this replacement on Amazon.  It's not cheap.  $17 for a mug.  But totally worth it.  It goes through the dishwasher great, keeps my water cold, and holds 32 oz.  It even has handy lines if you want help drinking enough water every day.

Zeolite Rocks - We bought 2 of these bags for our basement.  We had a musty basement due to water damage and within days the smell was gone.  I'm a believer.

Ice Breakers Duo - These are the girls' favorite. I keep them in my purse and pull them out when I need to bribe them into doing something. But be warned: eating a whole container in one morning will lead to explosive diarrhea (as the twirls found out on Christmas day).
