Nine Favorite Things
Happy February! This might be a little cheesy, but I’ve been looking forward to the start of February for a while now. I know it’s Valentine’s Day month, and while we don’t all love, love Valentine’s Day, I think it’s a fun holiday to celebrate over the cold winter months. For me, Valentine’s Day is an excuse to buy ourselves flowers, bake fun cookies, and buy rose-scented candles. I always have fun with this month!
This year, I want to make sure to find Asher something little but fun for Valentine’s Day. I remember when I was her age, my Nonnie would always send something special for Valentine’s Day. No matter where she was in the world, I’d get a cute stuffed animal, piece of jewelry, or box of chocolate from her. She always made it a special day. I want to do the same for Asher since she never got to experience that. I already have my eyes on some jewelry I know Asher would love. But I’m going to do a little more looking around before I buy. Do you do anything to celebrate? I celebrate ALL month, not just on the 14th!
Also, it’s almost Super Bowl time!! Normally, I wouldn’t be talking much about the Super Bowl, but I think we can all agree that Taylor Swift has really put this year’s Super Bowl on the map. Many of us “non” football watchers are surely tuning into the game to get some Taylor content. Also, the halftime show! I’m excited for Usher this year. He’s such an incredible performer. I think it will be a fun game to watch all around!
I’m feeling a lot of excitement for the things to come this month, including a trip to New York! I love visiting the city! As I type this, I’m in the LAX airport heading back home to Colorado. All you Cali people, this rain is zero fun. I missed the sunshine on this trip!
I’ve been in town for a day of filming with my friend Benny. I’m looking forward to sharing the recipes we shot together very soon! Benny has an upcoming cookbook launch, so we made a recipe from his new book too! It’s so delicious!
This was a fast, just over 24-hour trip, which is usually how I try to make my LA trips. In and out! I stayed at The Maybourne in Beverly Hills. After many trips to LA, I think I finally found a hotel I love to stay at. The rooms are cozy and spacious, the hotel itself is really pretty, and you can’t beat the location. It’s very central, which makes getting around the city easier.
I filmed with Benny, packed in a few meetings, and had a great brainstorming session with some of our team that was in in LA. It’s been a very successful trip! Oh, and I got my hair trimmed too. It’s been almost a year, so I desperately needed a cut. I trimmed a lot off and I’m feeling a whole lot lighter – I love a fresh cut!
I’m home this week, then off to New York the following week, I simply can’t wait! We have a lot of ideas brewing and fun projects in the works!
The family had a fun time in Aspen last week. Red competed at X Games and finally took home his first X Games gold medal. If you know the industry at all, and you know Red, then you know what a huge deal this is. This was a long time coming. I’m so proud of him, and it makes me so happy inside seeing him go after and achieve his goals! He’s on fire. Go Red, GO!
That’s all for today! Hope you’re having a cozy February weekend – enjoy this week’s favorites!
loving…
. This is the coziest home. The photos are stunning, but the kitchen steals the show. I am obsessed with that island, it’s gorgeous. And the home as a whole is just so sweet, warm, and cozy – a perfect winter escape to the mountains.wanting…new vintage finds from a cute site called Panopile. So many good vintage pieces. Also, Holcomb is a new-to-me site with unique kitchen finds. This entertaining set is perfect.
everything in my cart (low)…Nordstrom always carries the best basics. The Wiley Boat Neck Knit Top from Reformation is currently in my cart.
This cozy patchwork knit hat from Zara is a must if you live in a cold climate. It’s so cute. I’d wear it with this sweatshirt.
Loving jewelry, these Nura Wrap Stud Earrings from Monica Vinader could pass as designer. They are really pretty.
listening to…
. As someone who fears change, this was an inspiring listen for me. But more than anything, it’s just a nice conversation. Mellow, relaxed, and leaves you feeling happier. Also, this week, I loved . Super informative for women looking to feel more balanced with their hormones. I learned a lot. And I can’t not mention, . Love these guys!dreaming of going to…Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa. It’s almost time to start thinking about spring break. I vote tropical islands only. This Caribbean Resort is very much my tropical vacation vibe.
loving…cozy curved sofas. I came across this pretty sofa, and now I’m convinced I need my own. I also found this cute hug sofa, but it’s a lot pricier.
wearing… the new APL Women’s TechLoom Traveler sneaker. I’ve been living in these sneakers. They’re lightweight but supportive, very sleek, and super comfy. I’m highly recommending!
shopping… splurge-worthy candles. I have a few I have in my cart. Some are major splurges like the Loewe Orange Blossom Candle. But some are more affordable like the Boy Smells Slow Burn Candle. And I’m really curious about this new-to-me candle, the Rain Rock Creek Scented Candle.
burning…still loving the new Snif Big Flirt candle. And I’m getting ready to light the Mandarin Fantôme Candle from Boy Smells. I’m very interested in candles with citrus right now.
travel snacks…I’ve been carrying around these EPIC Venison & Beef Strips while I travel. They pack in healthy protein and are super delicious. But what I love most is that they’re free of any citric acid, sugar, or other weird ingredients. Just 100% grass-fed venison beef, onion powder, pepper, and salt.
wanting… the Staud Mini Joli Dress for Valentine’s Day. If I had somewhere to wear this I would get it for this month. It’s the perfect dress for a girly girl on Valentine’s Day, super sweet and cute. If you want something a little cozier and less pink, try this knit dress from Helsa.
everything in my cart (beauty)…curious about this Dermal Defense Hand Cream from Retrouvé. It sounds super moisturizing, which is what we all need in the winter. If you need a tried-and-true hand cream, I already know I love the Salt and Stone hand cream. In my Ulta car, Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant Lightly Scented
Loving the Luminous Matte Beauty Blush from Gucci. The packing is the cutest, but the product is actually so good. I love a rosy cheek for February too.
For the hair, love the dae Cactus Fruit 3-in-1 Styling Cream.
watching…
. Also, here .eating…Deux Cranes Chocolate. These bars sound so delicious. I’m ordering the Crem Brûlée bar (mainly because I’m so curious about what this tastes like). The Milk Chocolate with Ginger Sesame and Buckwheat, the Dark Chocolate with Miso Almonds, and the Pistachio Rose. Also, the bars just look pretty!
everything in my cart (high)…long coats are very popular right now. I’m eyeing the Ojama Wool Blend Bouclé Coat from Acne Studios. The the Prada Canvas Corduroy Collar Jacket. We need this jacket. I feel the same about the new Miu Miu blouson jacket. Can’t decide which I love more, but I am swaying towards the Miu Miu.
Bags, I am still obsessed over The Row Margaux 17 Bag in Leather. It’s such a classic forever bag. Maybe someday.
Shoes, very into the satin shoe. Love the Prada Modellerie Satin Mule and this LouLou Studio metallic satin mule too.
Lastly, this Gucci watch is so pretty.
shopping…Partake Foods. Better for you boxed cookies and baking mixings. I’m very curious to try out this brand after reading about them. They sound great! Especially for busy moms or any of us who can’t be in the kitchen day in and out cooking.
ordered…Heritage Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
shopping…corduroy pants. Loving that corduroy pants seem to be back in style. I’ve seen so many cute pairs recently.
curious to try…fermented garlic honey for colds. Love a homemade remedy, this one actually sounds delicious too. Have you tried it?

My favorite everyday moments are waking with my cats snuggled against me. A happy way to start the day!
Thanks so much for sharing, Terry! Hope you have a great Sunday! xT
Valentine’s Day is also my birthday. When I was little, I thought all the decorations and all the hearts were for me. As I got older I soon learned that it’s not such a great day for a birthday. (Don’t forget reservations for dinner). But I did make sure to teach my hubby early that I get two presents! 🙂
Also my birthday! And I have also trained my husband, LOL. He hates that flowers are more expensive and reservations are hard to get… we always get take out on the 14th and go out another night to avoid the rush and “special” menus. Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday Kerry!! Have a great week and thanks so much for reading:) xT
Hey Sara,
Awww, that’s so sweet! Happy Birthday! So awesome that your husband likes to treat you on your bday! Have a great week! xT
Really appreciate your Sunday posts. They’re sweet and a little glimpse into your life. Thank you for always being so positive. We appreciate your effort, Tieghan!
Thanks so much for your kind message, Kris! So glad you enjoy these posts as much as I do! Have a great week! xT
I so look forward to reading your Nine Favorite Things posts every Sunday morning with coffee in hand, thank you!! If you get a chance, I would love to know where you got your black cosmetic bag (in the Holden bag photo). Happy Sunday! Xx
I think it might be Cuyana.
Garlic + honey is the main remedy I use when sick! If you can handle it, raw garlic.
I simple mince a whole head of fresh organic garlic, combine with a little bit of raw honey and put it in a jar. I’ll eat a tsp or so every hour. It mellows out after a day, but it is weird if you’ve never done so before. You will smell like garlic but it’s a natural remedy that’s A+.
Hey Kristiana,
Happy Sunday!! Love this tip for an at home sick remedy, thanks for sharing:) Lol smelling like garlic isn’t the worst thing right?! Thanks again and have a great week! xT
I recently discovered that the best jeans I’ve ever owned are MENS cowboy cut wranglers!! I didn’t have clean jeans one day so I stole my husbands and couldn’t believe it – the slim fit is the most perfect straight leg jean I’ve ever worn.
You can get them in 34” length (I’m tall), AND they are superb quality, AND they don’t stretch too much so they aren’t falling off at the end of the day, AND they are less than $30… I’m obsessed! For whatever reason the women’s cowboy cut never fit me but the men’s is the jean I’ve been searching for since I was ten 😂 I get them at Murdochs!
Hey Ellie,
Thanks for reading today!! Ahhh love this discovery, such a great idea and totally can see how the mens jeans might be a better option for some than the women’s! Thanks for sharing:) Happy Sunday! xT
Mornin’! Would love to see a couple recipes for homemade protein bars. Can you offer some ideas?
Hey Christine,

I love the pants you were wearing on the day of your haircut! Can you please share what they are?
Thanks so much Linda!! They are from Eterne! Have a great week:) xx
Love Taylor as an artist but can’t get excited about all the Taylor football hype. Buffalo Bills fan for life, can’t wait for the day when they beat the Chiefs in the playoffs!
Tieghan as always thank you for your thoughtful and fun content! I love your recommendations and recipes 🙂
Hey Lauren,
Happy Sunday and thanks so much for reading today! Lol totally can understand where you are coming from:) Thanks for making the recipes! xT
Favourite moment of the day: walking the golf course & watching our dog run and chase anything/everything! She’s at least 13 years old (a rescue so we don’t really know) & is having some health issues but she still tears around like she’s 3! That goofy grin just makes my heart smile!
Hey Dale,
Thanks for reading and sharing your favorite moment of the day. Sounds super relaxing and love that you are able to enjoy that time with your dog. Have a great Sunday! xT
