The Toast to Post List of Favorite Things
Women, Home, Beauty, Health, & Events
Wow! This might be the most comprehensive list I’ve ever compiled for ToasttoPost.com. I spent a good amount of time reflecting throughout the course of the year to bring you the brands, items, and companies that I want to continue to support and showcase their items, which I am naming The Toast to Post Lists of Favorite Things. You will not find a product collage on liketoknow.it with these items, because most of them are not on likeotknow.it, which is why I felt it so important to make this a permanent list on ToasttoPost.com.
This list includes Women, Home, Beauty, Health, and Events. Check back tomorrow for all things KIDS!
Happy reading 🙂
Women
Aetrex Penelope Slippers
These have quickly become a household favorite. I wear them during the day since I’m still working from home, around the house when doing chores, and LOVE them after going on runs. They are so soft, and have the aetrex orthotic system built-in to every pair that includes arch support to stabilize and align feet and a memory foam foot-bed for cushioning and comfort! Available in black, leopard, taupe, wine, and ivory!
Bits and Bows
These are the absolute cutest baseball hats for Mamas and little girls! There is a detachable bow on the back that can be monogrammed along with a variety of different options for the front of the hat! I chose just my first initial, but knew I HAD to get Savannah the unicorn, because everything is unicorns and mermaids right now 🙂 So much fun!
Consuela Bag
This was THE BAG of the spring and summer for me! I brought it to Charleston, the bay, Gulf Shores, and every pool outing. I brought it to photo shoots with the twins and used it to pack for overnight trips. It is that good……and big. This brand is way more than just a company that makes beautiful and easy to care for bags, it is about empowering women and inspiring them to find joy and happiness in all of their endeavors…..”because it’s not about the bag, it’s where you take it.”
Right now you can get 15% off your first purchase when you sign up here plus receive free shipping and returns over $99. This exact bag is no longer on the site, but there are so many other bright and vivid designs that are sure to grab your attention.
Mome Brand
This is for the Mama who loves to match with her littles! And I am so excited that there are now options for little boys. These classic and timeless pieces are perfect for all phases of motherhood – pregnancy through breast feeding and beyond to the toddler years! Read more about it here!

MYK Silk
Luxury meets affordable. Grade 6A 22 Momme Silk that will make any bedtime instantly more luxurious while not breaking the bank either. They can be washed at home on the gentle cycle and come in a variety of colors including burgundy, lavender, French grey, midnight black, pink, and navy blue. You can read more about it here.
Never a Wallflower
You’re for sure to be a scroll stopper with this one! With a high collar and v-notch neckline and pockets, this dress is not only classy, but so comfortable and functional. It also comes in solid black, navy, and navy and red stripe (so beautiful for Christmas.)
PJ Harlow
If 2021 taught us anything, it was that there could never be enough loungewear. And PJ Harlow is a brand that I wear around the house and even though I’m in my pajamas, I still feel somewhat put together.
Sarah Bray Bermuda
This hat was definitely on the “most often worn” list throughout the spring and summer, and for good reason. It is woven with light colored palm leaves and yields what seems like the entire top half of your body from the sun. The brim is 7 inches long. This year, I plan on buying myself the Wisteria Sun Hat, and might get a matching one for Savannah! What I really like about these hats is that you can buy different ribbons to mix and match to whatever you are wearing!
Sarah Flint
This is a recent collaboration so if you’ve been following along on Instagram, you’ve probably seen me share these shoes several times. To say I am obsessed is an understatement! This is truly a shoe that gives you all the glamour and luxurious vibes while maintaining a high level of comfort! In preparation of returning to the office, I plan on grabbing another pair of these. I like the lower block heeled “Emma” along with the beautiful “Natalie” flat.

Sweet Pea Blooms
I did a collaboration with Taylor from Sweet Pea Blooms around Valentine’s Day this year, and love her handmade jewelry! She is now doing mostly bracelets, an “Arm Party” if you will, so if you’re looking to shop small this holiday season, here you go! Perfect for Mamas, sisters, friends, teachers, etc.!
Home
Fancy Sprinkles
Ahhhhh you thought I forgot about Fancy Sprinkles, eh? Well, the holidays are the PERFECT time to add a little glamour to your cocktails and baked goods! I personally love the prism powder for dusting on sugar cookies or to mix in with champagne at brunch! And the actual sprinkles themselves are beyond! I have an entire drawer full of Fancy Sprinkles which I’m just realizing I need to start on my holiday baking!

Far and Wild Essential Oils
Full disclosure – I do not know much about essential oils, and I am not trying to get you to sign up for anything, but, with that said, I started using essential oils this summer and it has quickly become a calming and essential part of my morning and evening routine. I love the Far & Wild oils, especially the blends, because like it makes it so easy to just fill up my diffuser, and only have to open one bottle to drop into the water. The Calm and Purify are two of my faves, and I think I am about to order the Immunity.

Hey Mama Wine
This is super fun to gift to a hard workin’ Mama this holiday season! The Rose Bubbly comes in a 4 pack and is approximately 60 calories per can and the Sparkling Rose comes in a bottle when you want to have an Instagram worthy “POP!” Receiving a package at your door of Rose will definitely put you on the Nice List!

Honeybear Pages
If you’ve followed me for a while, then Honeybear Pages is no stranger to this site. There are literally too many items to link, so I am just giving you the link to her Etsy site. The one thing that I know for positive I am buying is the 2022 desk calendar. I have the 2021 calendar and have big plans for it once the year is over, so cannot wait for the 2022 calendar! And since I’ll be back working in an office, it might be the first item/decoration on my new desk 🙂
MyPhoto
So you have thousands of pictures on your phone and don’t know what to do with them? With MyPhoto, uploading those pictures and making little projects out of them is so easy. Literally the hardest part is deciding which photos to use. I recently started working with MyPhoto and have loved the final product. From ornaments, to crystal and glass miniblox, larger blocks, and stickables for the wall, you are sure to find something for everyone. When you sign up for their newsletter, you’ll get 15% off.
Pillow Cover
This stunning pillow cover is definitely one of my favorite items purchased so far in 2021. It is a 20 x 20 inch and is the perfect addition to any living room couch or entryway bench.
Vitruvi Oil Diffuser
This is the diffuser I use with my Far & Wild Oils. It comes in White, Sea, Charcoal, Black, Pink, and I have it in Terracotta. It is made from high quality porcelain and can double as a decor piece in any room. It has 2 timer settings – 4 hours and 8 hours and an option for a light, which I love at night. It gives off the perfect moodly glow. It also has an automatic shut off when the water level gets low.
Beauty
Elemis
This has been my go-to cleanser for a few years now. There is something so calming about the process of removing the make up, dirt, grime, and pollutants from the day from your face. And the smell is the perfect – a combination of 9 essential oils including lavender, chamomile, and eucalyptus. Last year around this time I also started using the Superfood Facial Oil. The perfect combination of 9 essential oils – including BROCCOLI! I was worried about it making me looking too oily, but it doesn’t. It absorbs and leaves my face smooth, plumped, and hydrated!

Radiant Skincare Facial
One of the best gifts to give yourself or someone else when it comes to skincare is a facial. A lot of women tend to put their family and friends first, but forget about themselves. If you are local to the Houston/Katy area, Ana at Radiant Skincare has you covered! I have been going to her for almost 2 years now, and leave every single session looking moisturized and refreshed. You can customize your treatment – click here to read about the time I did the blue light therapy for the dreaded maskne!
Click here to go to Ana’s Instagram page. You can reach out to her via DM on Instagram to schedule an appointment. If you do not have Instagram but would like to make an appointment, let me know, and I can coordinate for you.
Volo Beauty
This is not your average towel. It is the softest towel your hair has ever met – plush, extremely gentle and absorbent! It decreases hair drying time by 50% and even has a nifty little strap to tuck the tail into (so it doesn’t fall off your head!) I also have a scrunchie and the spa headband and absolutely love them!
Wake Face Mask
A good face mask will take you from dull and drab to radiant and glowing in 15 minutes or less, which is why I always have a container of the Wake Face Mask in my bathroom. Australian pink clay mask designed to prevent breakouts, reduce acne caused by blocked pores and dead skin, and combat dull skin! This would be a great gift idea!
Health
iWon Organic Protein Snacks
As I am typing this, I am making a mental note to order more of these. This is one of my favorite afternoon snacks because it is organic, has 10 g of protein, and has the perfect amount of crunch without being too hard. Oh, and the flavorings are on point. I got back and forth all the time on what I think my favorite flavor is, and I think it is the Sweet Dijon! Runners up are BBQ and Nacho Cheese!
Liquid IV
I feel like at this point, I don’t really need to give an explanation. Everyone needs Liquid IV in their life. Oh, you don’t drink? It’s not for hangover recovery. It is for giving your body the hydration in the form of electrolytes that we need from living in HOT Texas, working out, or yes, maybe having that extra glass of wine at night. I feel like my workouts are better when I am fully hydrated, and my skin always looks amazing. Also, right now, my discount code will yet you 30% off plus free shipping!

Mixhers
Welcome to the House of Happy Hormones! Mixhers is founded by women, for women as a natural way to help with monthly cycle symptoms. Mixhers is a company that creates a better way to live with our hormones. I have tried the Hersmoothie and Hertime Daily and love both of them.

Skinnydipped Chocolate
Stocking stuffer. Just do it. Low sugar, gluten free, and insanely delicious! This is a woman owned and operate business that literally started with them hand dipping almonds into chocolate in their kitchen! And I love that the peanut butter cups are individually wrapped!
Touchland Hand Sanitizer
For all of you who are desperately missing the feeling of physically touching other human beings, this is for you! A hand sanitizer for the people who live life sensorily, curiously, passionately, and fearlessly, but not recklessly. It’s hydrating, has 12 different scents to pick from, and has ethyl alcohol, aloe vera, radish root ferment, and lemon essential oils in it. This would be an AMZING stocking stuffer idea! And for the kids, there is a Disney collection 🙂
Events
Theatre Under the Stars
Have you hopped on the “giving events” bandwagon? Well, good! There’s something very powerful to getting out and enjoying the theatre, ballet, or museum! The theatre is open and there are so many great performances on the calendar such as The Little Mermaid, South Pacific, Come From Away, and Jersey Boys! My Mom and I recently went to see Sister Act and it felt so good to be back in a theatre watching a performance. Sister Act is done now, but check out the other performances!

The Nutcracker
The Nutcracker runs from November 26 – December 2024 this year. This is a holiday season classic that I cannot wait to take Savannah to one day! Tickets start at $27 and it is performed at the Wortham Center which usually has this beautiful (and large) Christmas tree to really get you in the holiday spirit!

Immersive van Gogh Exhibit Houston
This exhibit has been extended through February, so if you can’t squeeze in a trip before the holidays, you have plenty of time after! This was such an amazing experience. You will lose yourself in 300,000 cubic feet of flawless projections animating Vincent van Gogh’s oeuvre. The images move and transform all while maintaining their original integrity so carefully created by this incredible artist. And the soundtrack is perfection!
Cheers – MP
