Here are my Top picks for Reading (and cooking) all Year Round!
Favorite Books
The Beautiful No
Staying on my list this year, by Sheri Salata – you’ll laugh and cry while reading this – a great gift for girlfriends and sisters.
Untamed
Glennon writes with such searing truth that you’ll find yourself thinking about these essays days and months later. An important book for women of any age, including the younger generation.
proof of life
Jen is a dear friend and I love her writing. This book came out just in time to help me reset in 2025 – it’s funny but also soulful and life-affirming.
Audible
Even though I love hardback books, I listen to a book on Audible almost every day now…. it’s a great way to get to sleep. There are multiple options for gift memberships.
A Time for Mercy
John Grisham is my favorite mystery writer – I have read ALL of his books. This is his latest – a great read for anyone on your list.
Think Like a Monk
We all need to find ways to deal with the stresses of everyday life as well as everything 2025 has thrown at us. Jay provides specific, actionable ways to do just that.
No Crumbs Left
I love reading cookbooks and of course finding favorite new recipes. What I love about Teri Turner and No Crumbs Left is almost all her recipes have a healthy bent but with loads of flavor. I saw her in person and she’s so down to earth, plus she’s a Chicagoan!
It's All Easy
I have to admit, I was surprised by how many recipes I found in Gwyneth’s cookbooks that have become hands-down favorites in our house. I’m not into complex recipes so this cookbook fits my style.
Barefoot Contessa
I love every cookbook from Ina….and she has quite a few. Pretty much every recipe is approachable for the home cook and I love that. This is her latest – and I think the timing is perfect – Modern Comfort Food!
millions of items ship free!
Amazon Prime
I love Amazon Prime for many reasons, but right now it’s because of all the free shipping..I’d pay so much more in shipping fees this season if i didn’t have prime.

Hottest Tech
Macbook pro
For yourself. I use a MacBook Pro for my business and this is a great model to get started.
Apple Airpods
These are likely to be on someone’s list in your family…they’re on mine! If you’re looking for airpods for work, consider the upgraded Airpods Pro but these here are good too.
Kindle Paperwhite
Have I mentioned how much I like to read? This makes it easy to take a stack of books on a trip or to the beach. There are many options available, from $59 – $350 but this one is reasonable and comes with some accessories.
Speaker
We have more than one of these, they’re great to easily move around the house when you are cleaning or for singing out loud while doing the dishes.
Echo
Alexa, I don’t know what to get my daughter, son, nephew…… The 4th generation Echo Dot is here!
Have you been Naughty? Then you deserve something special from oprah's favorite things!
Oprah’s Favorite Things
great gifts
Active and self-care
Yoga Mat
Need I say more? One for you, one for a friend or sister…then schedule a Facetime social distancing Yoga workout. Great for stretching if you’re not up for a Yoga class just yet.
Yoga Block
This is definitely nice to have when you are ready to start your Yoga practice (you’ll learn what I mean).
Yoga Strap
This strap is great for stretching arms/back/hamstrings and is often used in Yoga classes.
At Home Spa Kit
I think we can all agree this is the perfect gift for just about anyone this year!
Favorite Candle for 2025
No details needed. Schedule a zoom with friends and everyone lights their candle!
Essential Oil Starter Kit
Inexpensive and a great way to get introduced to Essential Oils.
