They are typically material things and not necessarily things that are &#8220;needed&#8221; for you to go on in life.  Come on, be honest, you know there are a few things that you just could not live without, materialistic or not&#8230;they are things you absolutely love.  Well, here is a list of some of my favorite things in life&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>1) SUGAR LYCHEE perfume by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fresh.com\/fragrance\/1oz-fragrances\/sugar-lychee-eau-de-parfum-1oz\">Fresh<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00021E2BA?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=malesurvival&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B00021E2BA\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"898\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/laurie\/misc\/my-favorite-things\/attachment\/fresh\/\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/laurie\/wp-content\/uploads\/fresh.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"348,388\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"fresh\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/laurie\/wp-content\/uploads\/fresh.jpg\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/laurie\/wp-content\/uploads\/fresh.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.casadeblundell.com\/laurie\/wp-content\/uploads\/fresh.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"fresh\" width=\"348\" height=\"388\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-898\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I love this scent, I wear it everyday and don&#8217;t know what I did before I started wearing it.  I found this perfume through <a href=\"http:\/\/thepioneerwoman.com\/\">The Pioneer Woman<\/a>.  She had a post about how much she loved it so I figured I better go see what all the hype is about, I fell in love with it the second I smelled it.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sugar Lychee is a luscious scent ripe with luminous lychee, bright grapefruit, and transparent lotus flower notes. Warm undertones of tonka bean and amber make this sweet scent sensual yet sophisticated.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>2) I got this several years ago from Vicki for Christmas and absolutely love it! It is my most favorite Christmas decoration, I wish I could leave it out all year.  I probably could, but people may think I&#8217;m a little odd to have a candy cane looking, big ornament like thing sitting around in the middle of July.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lblundell\/3069192450\/\" class=\"tt-flickr tt-flickr-Medium\" title=\"Day 75 ~ 365 Days Project\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3020\/3069192450_fcc8e72760.jpg\" alt=\"Day 75 ~ 365 Days Project\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>3) My iPhone 3G<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"901\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/laurie\/misc\/my-favorite-things\/attachment\/iphone\/\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/laurie\/wp-content\/uploads\/iphone.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"300,361\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"iphone\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/laurie\/wp-content\/uploads\/iphone.jpg\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/laurie\/wp-content\/uploads\/iphone.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.casadeblundell.com\/laurie\/wp-content\/uploads\/iphone.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone\" width=\"300\" height=\"361\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-901\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I got this for my birthday a year and a half ago and haven&#8217;t gone a day without it.  I use it for everything, not only a phone.  I use it for email, banking, social sites like facebook and twitter, play games like bejeweled and words with friends, medical apps for work, etc.  I&#8217;m still not sure if I&#8217;ll try to get the iPhone 4 for my birthday in April or not, ahh who am I kidding, I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll at least ask for it \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>4) My princess mug<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lblundell\/2218128128\/\" class=\"tt-flickr tt-flickr-Medium\" title=\"1-24-08\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2026\/2218128128_a0071c947a.jpg\" alt=\"1-24-08\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>I actually bought this mug several years ago at the gift shop at work.  Sometimes hospital gift shops have some great goods and that mixed with a low patient load isn&#8217;t good&#8230;we would always find ourselves in the gift shop window shopping.  Now I am ready for the colder weather to get here so I can have some hot chocolate in my awesome mug!<\/p>\n<p>5) My ring<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"903\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/laurie\/misc\/my-favorite-things\/attachment\/ring\/\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/laurie\/wp-content\/uploads\/ring.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"640,426\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"ring\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/laurie\/wp-content\/uploads\/ring-500x332.jpg\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/laurie\/wp-content\/uploads\/ring.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.casadeblundell.com\/laurie\/wp-content\/uploads\/ring-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"ring\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-903\" srcset=\"http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/laurie\/wp-content\/uploads\/ring-500x332.jpg 500w, http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/laurie\/wp-content\/uploads\/ring.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Mine is on the right.  This was my grandmothers wedding ring (minus the wedding band attached to it) and I have always loved it.  When she passed away my mom got it and when I got married I got.  I have recently &#8220;retired&#8221; my ring until after I have the boys because it is kind of a snug fit and I don&#8217;t want to get it stuck on my finger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are some things in life that you just love.
