Because of the wallspace I have, I post it horizontally. (sorry for the late reply, I didn’t get notified about the reply to this post somehow). I’ve got all my goals for the upcoming year laid out with dates associated with the milestones.

Alyson! You’ve outdone yourself. So very generous….only got to read this post now and busy ordering so many of the things you recommended…treats with which to begin the new year. Hmmm. A few of my favorite things. I am a big tea drinker (loose leaf and bag)…and my favorite strainer is one that you can use in large broad rimmed tea mugs (I love a BIG mug of tea). It has a lid that keeps the tea hot while brewing: https://www.teavana.com/us/en/teaware/tea-tools-accessories/cool-touch-tea-strainer-011035113.html?navid=tea-tools-accessories&start=1. Stemless wine glasses. Plenty to choose from out there. Creating holiday cards using one of my pieces as the cover…especially now, wanting to reach out personally to all the special people in my life. Making stationary cards for future gifts out of pieces of my torn down monotypes (hand pulled prints). Walking outside. Spending time with family and friends. Being grateful. Hope you had a wonderful holiday!

Ha. That’s a different recipe, Michael. I keep coming back to the bourbon.

Bristlon brushes. These things have solved all my brush issues. Oh, yeah, and Murphy’s Oil Soap for cleaning them. Both great and not expensive.

I’ve deployed coconut oil in oil pulling for about a year now. It’s also anti bacterial and will help gum health.
I use coconut oil for a number of things. Mixed with brown sugar, it’s a great exfoliator and nothing non edible on your skin.
