Yesterday you saw some of my favorite local products in Northwest Arkansas, and today I’m going to share more of my faves from outside the area.

2022 has been a fun and exciting year for me personally and as a business owner. I want to thank you for supporting me this year. And in the year ahead, I would love for you to refer me to all your engaged friends (it would really mean the world to me!) Without further adieu, here are some of my favorite things:

My Favorite Winery

Chandon sparkling wine When I first started dating Tyler, I took her to Napa for the weekend (I was trying to impress her, and I think it worked!), and we toured the Chandon winery. We toured others, but their service and attention to detail impressed me (it’s what I strive to do at Benfield Photography). Chill and enjoy!

Little Things = Big Difference

Ferrero Rocher chocolate: Believe it or not, my first time trying Ferrero Rocher was in January of this year! Ty and I went to an Avett Brothers music festival in Mexico and decided to stay at Unico. It was more expensive than the Hard Rock, but the amenities and level of service were definitely upgraded (are you sensing a theme here?). Each night, they set out two of these chocolates for turn-down service.

Little things like this make a big difference in my book!

Molton Brown soap: Along the same lines, I first tried Molton Brown at a hotel. It was the Capital Hotel in Little Rock, Arkansas. I think it’s no surprise that I remember that more than 10 years later, The Capital Hotel remains my go-to Little Rock hotel. They have a bunch of different scents, and I have yet to find one I don’t like.

Voluspa candles: My newest obsession, Voluspa candles smell so good, and they look so pretty. I chose this particular scent because it’s Christmas time. The notes of “white cypress, juniper berry, mint leaves & evergreen wood” fit perfectly. I like the small candles because I keep them in my suitcase (I travel a lot, clearly), my car, and anywhere else I want to smell fresh!

Talk to you soon,
Dale
