With Thanksgiving behind us, it’s time to get my ass in gear and get back at the gym
to begin the Holiday celebrations and continue with Gift Guides!
I already posted a Monogram Gift Guide, and all guides can be found under the Holiday tab in the top menu.
oh, and a Guide to Oprah’s Guide

Today’s Gift Guide is for The Lazy Girl.
Coming off a week of eating and pure laziness this seemed like the perfect time! 
It seems like other guides are for the “Homebody”, but I think I’m talking about something different.
Yes, the robes and throws and mugs can fit a guide for the Homebody, but the lazy girl wants to veg during the day AND still go out at night.
 I love to stay on the couch and veg with a blanket as much as the next girl, but when it’s time for dinner out at a new restaurant or drinks with friends I am the first one to jump off that couch and maybe hop in the shower.
Because #FOMO and because #Wine.

So, call it “Homebody”, but I think that’s just a fancy word for Lazy.
At least in my life it is….

EXTENDED CHARGING CORD // PULLOVER // VELVET BOW // EMILY LEY PLANNER // CHARCOAL MASK 
LEOPARD BEANIE // SPANX LEGGINGS // SLIPPERS // OIL DIFFUSER // SLIPPER SOCKS 
CARDIGAN // PAJAMAS // DRY SHAMPOO // JOGGERS 
CANDLE // MORNINGS MUG // BLANKET // EYE MASK // PRISM GLASSES // POP SOCKET // POM BEANIE // ROOMBA FLOOR CLEANER 

Dry Shampoo : Let’s just start with what’s most important in life. If you aren’t using this you are lying.  Or you really need to be.  It’s not only a God-send, it makes your hair look even better. Batiste is my favorite because it is cheap, it works, and Amazon Prime delivers it in two seconds.  It also comes in travel size cans which is a lifesaver when traveling.
For a texturing spray, I go for Oribe which is pricier, but I only use this when I need extra hold for a night out and one can lasts me almost a year.

A Cute Planner : This may seem contradictory for a “lazy” person, but I love to be lazy and nothing excites me more than my planner.  Who doesn’t love to make lists of what they need done, keep everything organized, and then continue to procrastinate and push things off while they dive deep into a Netflix binge?
I use the Emily Ley Planner for my actual planner and this Lilly planner to log my food + workouts.

Prism Glasses : Um, WHAT!?! Ultimate stocking stuffer for the lazy girl in your life.  And it’s under $10!  You can read and watch TV laying flat on your back!  LAYING DOWN AND LOOKING UP! No more strained neck! I am ordering these just to try and see if they work (If the amount of excitement I have over this item doesn’t prove that I am the laziest human being alive, I don’t know what does.)
editors note : also, the reviews are half from people recovering from neck surgery. Uh I’m the worst. #LAZY. 

Cozy blanket : The competition for the coziest blanket is a stiff one.  I have had this throw for years and years and love it so much.  I have also been eyeing this cute pom pom throw blanket all week!
or if you want to go all out, this faux fur sleeping bag is ah-mazing. 

Clothes that work equally well on the couch as they do running a quick errand (whether that errand is to pick up food, no judgement) are important. The following are a few favorites :

Cozy Cardigan // Pullover : You can’t go wrong with a cardigan with over 1,000 Five Star reviews.  100% Yummy, gaurenteed. Or an adorable pullover (Oprah approved!) that can take you from workout to couch or couch to out.

Spanx leggings : if you get the spanx leggings, it’s like you are working out without ever moving a muscle.  they suck it all in and you lose inches without having to move an inch.  genius, I know….
If you want something other than a traditional legging, I have the active leggings and love them (size small) but if you want to feel fancy, the leather leggings and suede pairs are great, too!

Joggers : For a bit more breathing room than the Spanx, a pair of joggers are the perfect way to to go from couch to out (and back to couch) in no time.  This ruched ankle pair is adorable + look polished if you have to head out, but there are other great options at here and a velvet pair form Gap.

Face Mask : There’s nothing to kick off a new week on a Sunday night, or to just feel productive while still sitting on the couch or in bed, than a luxurious face mask.  Plus, they are fun to snap a pic of and send to your friends? You’re working on your skincare without lifting a finger. I am still MADLY in love with my Black Head Mask.  My husband (who never reads this, secret is safe with all of you) and I do it every Sunday together.

Pop Socket : Okay. I Know.  This sounds like something only the instagram obsessed millennial would need.  But it has become a game changer for me.  I ‘inherited’ the giant 6+ that used to be my husbands work phone when my old iPhone died for good and it is impossible to hold the thing with one hand.  I was dropping it and nearly shattering it constantly.  This makes it so easy to use the phone like a normal person.  These would be a great stocking stuffer – so cheap and you don’t even know you need it til you have it!

Extra long phone charger : Enough said.  We all need it.  We never have it.  We all need to exercise that finger muscle and finally get one.  Bonus points for a pretty rose gold.

Cute coffee or tea mug : Feel free to put something cute on the mug, or maybe something motivating to see if it will actually entice you to leave the couch and go outside and live your best life.

Steamer : I do not iron.  This will get your clothes fresh and wrinkle free in no time at all.  This one in particular is my favorite because it works internationally, but I also love the My Little Steamer and used it for years before needing one for European outlets.  You’ll see this over and over again on my list of favorite things.

Hair Accessories : Throw your hair in a pony tail with a cute suede bow, or grab an adorable beanie to cover up the lack of curling iron. Love this cableknit beanie with the pom top.

Roomba : This is a new gift in my life and I love it.  What’s not to love about someone/something else cleaning your floors?  It may seem like an investment, but it’s a hell of a lot cheaper than a cleaning lady. Preach.  Plus, people can comment on how clean your home is and you can act like YOU were the one that spent all day vacuuming.  Plus, it’s endless entertainment for you and your husband to comment on and watch (I know that sounds crazy, but when it’s new you kinda watch it and follow it like a dog. #SadButTrue)

Cozy Pajamas : The cuter the better.  And extra points for monogramming.

Slippers : For me this is more because I hate to be barefoot on hardwood floors than anything else, but cute slippers make shuffling over to the fridge that much more fun. I mean, if you have to walk that is. You can go traditional, furry and fun, or a mix of both, but they are definitely a lazy girls necessity.

Candles // Aromatherapy – If you aren’t scrubbing your dirty dishes and are staying in the same place all day, perhaps light a candle. And a beautiful Voluspa Prosecco candle does the trick. Or, jump on the fancy bandwagon of oils and aromatherapy diffusers.

Eye Mask – To take your cat naps to the next level.  (aka climbing back in bed in general).  Make it a silk one with a pillow and you’ll be doing double duty to help your wrinkles. And copper is the new trend in eye masks, too!
I got this under $10 eye mask for traveling and it has space for you to blink and everything underneath + stays put.

You know the debate?  The debate that starts every year around this time? Questionining if it’s time to start celebrating the holidays? If It’s too soon?
Well…. there is one woman that can put an end to that question.
And that woman is Oprah.
And Oprah has released her Oprah’s Favorite Things for 2017.

So, let the Holidays commence!!!!
Or at least the shopping aspect!

….. can we please get the Oprah Show back on? Because this episode was THE BEST!

editors note : One thing on her list that I was going to include but then didn’t but then am like “Why have I been thinking about this so much??” 23 & Me. The advertising is really getting to me with the 23 & me. Everywhere I turn, I see or hear a commercial and now I’m like “I DO need to know where I came from!!!” reality : do I care???? 
I figured out why it has me grabbed : The “Getting to Knoooooooow you” song in the commercial.  It’s a killer.  I realize that I will be signing it all day long.  Whoever did that deserves a serious pay raise.  Well done.  Hashtag slow clap. 

anyways….. let’s start with the edible gifts first!
…. obviously….. 

:: FOOD :: 

:: Caroline’s Cakes :: 

Oprah Says : According to Gayle, Caroline’s Cakes is famous for its caramel cake, but one bite of the seven-layer coconut cake takes me right back to Sunday afternoons in Mississippi, with my grandmother in the kitchen cracking eggs and shaving fresh coconut.
TSB Says : Does this not look so insanely amazing?!
Something about a million thin layers of cake just looks so perfectly delicious.

:: Cheese Knife :: 

Oprah Says : Goodbye, cluttered cheese platter: Here are three knives in one. The sharp edge cuts cleanly through firm cheese, the pointy tip breaks an aged cheese into shards, and the entire blade spreads soft cheeses. I’d give this with a ripe wedge of something delicious.
TSB Says: Who doesn’t need a good cheese knife? And you only need one that does it all!

:: Truffle Salt :: 

Oprah Says : I took the truffle and rosemary sea salt out of my bag at a restaurant, and the waiter asked, “You travel with that?” I said, “Do you have it here?” It wouldn’t be Favorite Things without truffles!
TSB Says : Truffles.  Enough Said.

:: Air Fryer and Toaster Oven :: 

Oprah Says : A toaster oven that bakes, broils, toasts, and has a built-in air fryer? What else can you ask for?
TSB Says : Everyone I know that has an air fryer absolutely LOVES it.  Such a great, easy way to make your favorite foods healthier.

:: Frozen Dessert Maker :: 

Oprah Says : We have a winner! In goes the frozen fruit, out comes silky sorbet. Did I mention that frozen berries and bananas equal zero Weight Watchers points, that the price is amazing, and that I make a soft-serve treat every night?
TSB Says : Now, if I’m honest, I don’t feel the need to make my own frozen desserts when Halo Top is down the street at Publix, but not everyone is as lazy as me…….

:: CLOTHING :: 

:: Tory Sport Track Pants :: 

Oprah Says : Reese Witherspoon turned me on to Tory Burch’s new sport line, and I owe her one. These track pants go with everything: a sweater and boots or heels and a blazer. I’m hooked.
TSB Says : Do I need another pair of pants to give the illusion I am heading to work out, even when that is absolutely not gonna happen? Obviously.

:: Barefoot Dreams Pajamas :: 

Oprah Says : I am a student of pajamas. In fact, the reason I started Favorite Things 21 years ago was that I had a great pair to share. The only drawback with my latest loves is that they’re so soft and stretchy, you won’t want to wear anything else.
TSB Says : My husband is so firmly against me having ANY more pajamas that cover everything except my neck it’s insane.  Same goes with Robes.  And socks.  It’s just pure temptation over here every night (insert gif).
So clearly I am in love with these.

:: Emijay Sweatshirt :: 

Oprah Says : Now, this is my travel gear. Chic sweatwear proves it’s possible to end a long plane or car ride without looking like a crumpled napkin.
TSB Says : Love this to throw on to head to a workout (or pretend I am en route to workout!)

:: Slipper Socks :: 

Oprah Says : put on these cozy sock slippers for the Favorite Things shoot, and I loved them! So will anyone you give them to, from toddlers to grandmas.
TSB Says : See above, under the PJ’s and my husband’s disappointment every night.

:: Emu Slide Slippers :: 

Oprah Says : My stepmother had furry pink slippers in 1968, and in 2017, chic women everywhere are wearing them out to lunch. Give a pair to a stylish friend and make her day.
TSB Says : These are obnoxious and I’m even more in love with them because of that.

:: HEALTH + FITNESS :: 

:: BeatSX Headphones :: 

Oprah Says : These lightweight wireless earphones really put a great-sounding song in my heart. They charge superfast (five minutes will give you up to two hours of tunes), and the magnetic buds cling together, making them easy to keep around your neck
TSB Says : I have yet to find a pair of comfortable headphones that stay put!
I’m honestly doubting they exist!

:: Spanx Active Leggings :: 

Oprah Says : Workout leggings that slim you? I’ll take two, please. The SLIM-X performance fabric of these Spanx with a double-layer waistband is lighter than air, but they still manage to smooth all over. Thank you, Sara Blakely!
TSB Says : No such thing as too many pairs of leggings, especially when they have a high waist and suck it all in.

:: Commuter Bicycle :: 

Oprah Says : This bike is a monochromatic masterpiece, a work of art that truly moves you—its two gears shift automatically. It’s light and made to last, with a basket built into the frame. You can choose from eight shades, but I can’t wait to ride my brand-new white one around Santa Barbara.
TSB Says : In Atlanta, I think you have a death sentence if you choose to ride a bike.  But for everyone else, how cute are these!

:: Phillips Sonicare :: 

Oprah Says : The first Sonicare made the list 20 years ago, and it’s only gotten better—literally one of my favorite things that I use twice a day. This year’s version is a smart toothbrush with an app that gives feedback on brushing habits, supereffective brush heads for different cleaning modes, and sensors to adjust intensity or tell you if you missed a spot. Trust me, you’ll look for excuses to brush.
TSB Says : If you do not own a Sonicare yet, you really need to get on it.  They are the absolute best.  Your mouth will never feel clean again without it!

:: GIFTS + ACCESSORIES FOR HER :: 

:: CZ Drop Earrings :: 

Oprah Says : These cubic zirconia earrings are playful enough for jeans, but I think I could get away with them for a black-tie affair. They sure look like the real deal.
TSB Says : Love these! Especially the diamond set.  Such a great gift for any lady in your life.

:: Pepper Sunglasses :: 

Oprah Says : People, these are the glasses! Tinted readers designed for outdoors, they let you see fine print and give your eyes UV400 protection to boot.
TSB Says : Great gift for parents and grandparents – who doesn’t need sunglasses they can read in!? No more layering the readers with the sunnies.

:: Earring Gift Set :: 

Oprah Says : Confession: I waited until I was 51 to get my ears pierced. You probably know someone who did it sooner—she’ll be thrilled to unwrap this pretty set of five pairs of gold-plated earrings. And you can’t beat that price!
TSB Says : Studs are my hands down go to . I love me some simple gold + pearl or gold + diamond studs.
You can choose from four different sets of 5 pairs of earrings for under $50

:: Stackable Jewelry Box :: 

Oprah Says : I keep promising myself I won’t put yet another jewelry box on Favorite Things, but these two-piece versions showed up with compartments for watches and eyeglasses, so how could I resist?
TSB Says : I received a similar stackable jewelry box for my birthday this year and I love it!

:: OTHER FAVORITES :: 

:: Magnolia + Olive Trees :: 

Oprah Says : Yes, I have olive trees in my bedroom. Everyone said they’d never make it, but I keep them turned to the light and they get bigger every day. A tree is a forever gift. It’s sunshine and earth and water, and it just grows better with time.
TSB Says : Great hostess gift, house warming gift, or something for the woman who has everyone.

:: Buffalo Check and Herringbone Throw :: 

Oprah Says : Not only do I want to see this cashmere-soft throw on my sofa, but I’d also wrap it around my shoulders on a chilly night.
TSB Says : Similar to black leggings, there is no such thing as too many throws!

:: Corkcicle Stemless :: 

Oprah Says : Here’s a 12-ounce covered stainless steel cup that keeps hot things hot for four hours, cold things cold for nine hours, and soccer moms happy right through overtime.
TSB Says : I have these in the bigger size and LOVE em.  Especially at the beach + lake to keep your cocktails cold!

:: Shower Cap :: 

Oprah Says : It’s no secret that this country is deeply divided. But here’s one thing we can all agree on: Every woman needs a good shower cap! These turban-style numbers have quick-dry fabric and a waterproof lining.
TSB Says : A shower cap is something everyone should have but I feel like no one does!? These are hands down the cutest and most stylish shower caps I have ever seen!

:: Great Thought a Day Notepad :: 

Oprah Says : With 365 inspiring quotes—and space to write your own thoughts—these pads will make channeling your genius an everyday habit.
TSB Says : When will I finally start doing this ?!? #NewYearsResolution

I was going to write that the only thing missing on the list was BREAD,
but then I realized English Muffins are on the list…..
so, my moment was ruined.
