Hey guys! Hope you are having a fabulous weekend; I can’t believe how quickly February is flying by! I’m eagerly awaiting spring and hope it shows up sooner rather than later because I’m COLD.🥶🤣We are heading to California for a vacation soon and I may not come back.😆If it weren’t for our gorgeous PNW summers I probably wouldn’t but those can’t be beat! Last week I shared in my Instagram stories about a “Favorite Things Party” I went to with a few friends and I received soooo many DMs saying how fun it sounded and asking for ideas as to what to bring and how to play the “favorite things” game so I’m summing it up here and sharing my favorites for ideas. It was super easy to play and we had so much fun plus you get to go home with a couple awesome items from your friends! How To PlayI’m sure there are many ways to play the Favorite Things Party Game but this is the way we played. It’s super simple and doesn’t require much time though you could pause between rounds for snacks/drinks/talking to make it take longer if desired. Our hostess had everyone write their name on a piece of paper and set the item(s) they brought on a table next to the slip of paper with their name so that everyone would know it was from them (you could also skip this so it’s a secret or wrap the presents so it’s a surprise what is inside)! We then wrote our name again on a second piece of paper and put it in a hat or bowl. Designate someone (or take turns) pulling names out of the hat/bowl and whoever’s name is drawn is the person that gets to go pick their prize from the table. You continue drawing names until everyone’s name has been drawn and had a turn choosing an item, then put all the names back in for round 2. Repeat for round 3. Then everyone went around the room saying why they love the item they brought which was fun to hear! We had each person bring 3 of the same items and played 3 rounds (everyone went home with 3 items) but you could change that number as well. What To BringSet a dollar limit. You could have each person bring one $30 item. Or 2 $20 items. Or we did 3 $5-10 items. Whatever your preference. Gift IdeasI brought this $5 lipgloss that has been a favorite of mine for years (my favorite color is the creme brûlée but I have it in a few shades). A few of my under $10 favorites. In the $10 to $20 range I included my favorite teeth whitening pen, makeup eraser cloth that erases all makeup with only water and cosmetic travel bag that has been such a game changer for me when traveling! And last but not least, a few items I found that I thought would be perfect for the game if you’re wanting $20 to $60 items!🥰 What do you guys think?! Will you be playing the game? What will you bring? I’m excited to hear about your experiences with this so keep me posted!

Thank you Jenny Craig for sponsoring this post. Can a test help you learn how to best lose weight, based on your genetic profile? Try Jenny Craig’s most customized plan ever and learn more about how you can best work with your body to lose weight. As many of you know, I’ve been following my Jenny Craig meal plan since August and I love the meals and my results on the program! But did you know that in November I took a DNA test to optimize my results by structuring a meal plan based around my genetics?! Well I did and now I’m spilling all of the details about it. Save $100 on Jenny Craig for a limited time (click here to claim)!In November I was sent a Jenny Craig DNA Decoder Kit and performed the cheek swabs necessary to determine my genetics (it was super easy)! I then sent the swabs off to the lab in their pre-addressed envelope for testing and eagerly awaited my results. The Jenny Craig DNA Decoder Plan includes this genetic testing which provides insight into 15 weight loss specific areas such as how your body processes food, how it responds to exercise, and if your sleep patterns could be affecting your weight loss efforts. I found the results of the DNA testing so interesting and helpful. I was then provided with a specific meal plan tailored to my DNA results. My plan best suits my genetic needs and then in turn provides optimal results. Based on my DNA results, I was placed on their balanced menu option. Jenny Craig also has a reduced-fat menu and a reduced-carbohydrate menu for those whose results show that will be best suited for them. My DNA results also provided me with an actionable report with information like what types of exercises may benefit my weight loss efforts most based on my genetic makeup that I found super interesting. They even included inspirational tips to help me get started! You’ve all probably heard me rave on and on about the food already but I feel that it’s such a huge determining factor of an individual’s success at any meal program so I’ll say it again; I LOVE the food! It tastes GOOD!!🤤I find the meals and snacks satisfying and delicious and as a busy mama I sure appreciate how quick and easy they are. I used to eliminate items like pasta and burgers from my diet altogether but I love that Jenny Craig provides me with these savory options frequently and pre-portioned so I know that I’m staying on track (while I feel like I’m indulging)! Another factor that has been helpful while on the Jenny Craig program has been having a consultant that checks in with me weekly to hear how I’m doing and help me brainstorm ways I could be doing better. Knowing she will call and check in keeps me on track and motivated to succeed. I’ve been very impressed with how easy Jenny Craig has made it for me to succeed. On this program everything is put right in front of me and all I have to do is simply follow the steps by eating my meals and snacks on schedule. There’s minimal food prep involved and the variety of delicious meals is impressive plus the new DNA Decoder Plan customizes it to the individual even more; a recipe for success! Be sure to check out their program and let me know what you think! I’m sure you’ll love it just as much as I do.🤗 xo -Haley Follow Jenny Craig on Instagram here and find out more at JennyCraig.com!
