Re: And these are a few of my favorite things....
Shampoo/Conditioner- no real favorite unfortunately, still hunting
Styling Product(s)- only thing i consistently use is Scruples has this small thing of oil that helps with flyaways and such. I love how it smells and feels
Cosmetics (be as specific as you want)- Clinique for foundation powder, blush and my face cleansing process. mary kay eye shadow and mascara. And actually Maybelline Eye Liner Lasting Drama line- pencil or gel, both work great!
Perfume Clinique Happy Heart and Calvin Klein Eternity
Lotion- usually Curel or Vaseline brand- moisturizing yet not greasy and no scent so it doesnt mix with perfume
Go to song to make you shake what your mama gave ya- im terrible with song names so no help
Song that sets the mood- see above, lol
TV Show- Revenge, Modern Family, Nashville
Date Idea- out to a quiet dinner and relaxing at home
Exercise- zumba!!!
Cocktail /Mocktail- Long Island Ice tea or captain and coke
Shampoo/Conditioner -- I am generally not one to spend a lot on hair products. I mostly use Pantene for color-treated hair. No special reason except it seems pretty decent and there are usually coupons for it in the Sunday paper!
Styling Product(s) -- John Frieda products, mostly. Frizz Ease is a must, and I use the spray-on conditioner stuff before I blow dry.
Cosmetics (be as specific as you want) -- I am helpless here.
Perfume -- I stopped wearing it years ago, so no help from me.
Lotion -- My fave stopped being made years ago (Davies Gate Garden Made Hand Salve and Foot Salve). Now I just make due with whatever cream I have a coupon for, except I've decided Aveeno products are over-rated so I don't use theirs anymore.
Go to song to make you shake what your mama gave ya -- I am slightly embarassed to admit that I can't help but sing and dance to Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves
Song that sets the mood -- If we're talking about "the" mood, then Wicked Game by Chris Isaac is a sure winner.
TV Show -- Lately, I would say Once Upon a Time.
Date Idea -- Anything that involves more than just sitting around having dinner or watching a movie. Cooking lessons at a cooking school, Dave & Busters, mini golf, and that sort of thing are way more fun. Haven't done much of that in the last few years, unfortunately.
Exercise -- I HATE sweating, so anything aerobic-y makes me cranky, with the possible exception of speed walking on a treadmill, which I can tolerate. I like pilates a lot but haven't done it since pre-baby.
Cocktail /Mocktail -- I mostly go for girly-fruity drinks. Any kind of fruity "martini" is likely to be a winner for me.
