If I Were Oprah...Kim's Favorite Things





Sometimes wonder what it would be like to be Oprah for a day; to have a few million dollars to lavish on family, friends, or strangers during the holidays. Here is a list of 'Kim's Favorite Things'

Organic Grapefruit---This is my latest healthy addiction


My Hammock---Everyone should have one for sunny afternoons.



Yoga Bolsters (for restorative yoga)---I'd give out yoga bolsters to everyone so they could do restorative yoga. 



Round Yoga Mat---Spread out and have some fun doing yoga.




Air Popcorn Maker---My favorite snack (sometimes dinner)


Segway Tour of Chicago---One of my favorite things to do in the city is take a Segway Tour. My son, Kevin, thought it was so much fun he said, "I'll never walk again."





Rumi---I'd give everyone a little book of poetry by Rumi. 




Thieves Spray by Young Living---This is how I've stayed healthy the last few years and boosted my immunity. I would do a commercial for this product. It is my favorite thing to have with me when I'm traveling or have to go to hospitals or be among large crowds. 



DoTerra Deep Blue Rub---This is liquid gold. Yes it's expensive, but everyone should have it for those aches and pains. I used mine while struggling with back issues. I even use it before I work out for long lasting, deep penetrating heat. 


Ear Plugs & Sound Machine---These products have kept me and my husband in the same room at night. Without them, I could not sleep through his snoring. 








Electric Blanket---I'm always cold (even though I occasionally have hot flashes). My favorite thing in bed is my micro plush electric blanket. 

VW Beetle---If I could, I'd give everyone my favorite car (The Bug). You can choose your own color. 



Life is good hats---I'm a hat girl. These are some of my favorite. They are happy, colorful, positive hats. 




Trip to Maui---Everyone should go to Paradise once. This is my favorite place in the world to rest and relax and dream. I'd give everyone a trip to Maui. 




Wheaton Terrier Puppy---I may be bias, but I think Wheaton Terrier Puppies are the cutest puppies in the world. I'd give everyone my favorite dog. 



Barnes & Noble Gift Card---Call me old fashion, but I still like the feel of a book in my hands. I still highlight and make notes in the margins. I would give everyone I know a $500 gift card so they can enjoy a whole year of books to read in the hammock or in bed. 




Meditation Chair---Sometimes sitting cross-legged on the floor is difficult for long periods of time. This meditation chair from Gaiam is my favorite. 




I have a Sleep Number Bed that goes up and down. I've had two surgeries since I've had this bed. Besides being wonderful for recuperating and getting in and out of bed safely when you have injuries, this bed is great for  reading or watching TV in bed. 


MacBooK Pros---I'm a Apple fan. I'd give these away because they are my favorite laptops.



Epsom salt baths---During the winter or if I'm sore or ache, I'll take an epsom salt bath. The Magnesium sulfate will absorb through the skin and reduce swelling, relax muscles, draw toxins from the body. 

Bonus: This bath is one of my favorite dream baths
