Candi

Meet Recommender:

I currently serve as the President/CEO of the Coffeyville Area Chamber of Commerce. I have three children, 2 who live nearby and one still at home (in the small but mighty town of Tyro). I stay pretty active with my job but also have a passion for leadership. I am currently the facilitator for Leadership Coffeyville as well as Chair of the Chamber of Commerce Executives of Kansas and Chair of the MAKO four state Chamber conference. And more recently, launching and presenting at our Women In Business Conference supporting women in our region. When I can find a few minutes to myself, summer time is my jam and usually found laying on a floaty in my pool.

Candi's Recommendations

  • Sudden Eye 3 Minute Eye Serum

    Sudden Eye 3 Minute Eye Serum

    Forget creams, they don’t work for me—but this serum does wonders for my under-eye bags!

  • Kendra Scott Platinum Gold Oil

    Kendra Scott Platinum Gold Oil

    I have dry hair and this is the only oil I have found that doesn’t leave my hair greasy. It gives me just enough managability and shine that I need.

  • Dutch Oven

    Dutch Oven

    I love being able to cook everything in one pot and slow simmer without worrying about my soups burning on the bottom. Plus all the flavors soak in, epecially when you have to saute vegetables or meat first, then add in your soups or dish.

  • Polite Society Plumper

    Polite Society Plumper

    I will admit, this doesn’t last a long time but my, oh my, does it plump my very thin lips!

  • Kate Spade New York Bag

    Kate Spade New York Bag

    I don’t typically like expensive bags as I am too rough on them, but this one was perfect for work trips. Doubles as a purse and a laptop bag so I can look great during travel, but isn’t too heavy and gives me a classy professional look for travel.

  • Kleo Color Nails (or DooNails)

    Kleo Color Nails (or DooNails)

    Hello press on without the glue! These are so easy to put on and last at least a week or two for me. The best part, they don’t damage my nail when I take them off like glue and are pretty easy to remove. I used both Kleo Color and Doo Nails

  • To Do Reminder App

    To Do Reminder App

    My memory is not as great as it once was and I am usually juggling 100 things at once. I use this app for EVERYTHING. From reminding myself to call my mom occasionally, to remembering to grab milk on the way home, to personal words of encouragement. It keeps me in check!

  • Monopoly Bookshelf Edition

    Monopoly Bookshelf Edition

    Need a gift idea? I love these vintage bookshelf games. Functional or just use as a cute decoration.

  • Foaming Hand Wash Reusable Bottle

    Foaming Hand Wash Reusable Bottle

    I only use foaming hand soap from Bath and Body works, but it can get expensive. I love using these reusable bottles and buying soap in bulk.

  • Basil Hayden Subtle Smoke Bourbon

    Basil Hayden Subtle Smoke Bourbon

    I am a bourbon lover. Smoky Old Fashions are my favorite but this Subtle Smoke Bourbon is next best.

  • Tarte Tubing Mascara

    Tarte Tubing Mascara

    Chronic dry eyes and contacts make for raccoon eyes, but waterproof mascara is harsh. This tubing mascara gives me the best of both worlds.

  • Deathy Ally Coffee

    Deathy Ally Coffee

    I like a full flavor dark coffee, but not the strong, burnt taste so many have. Coffeyville Coffee Company has been my goto for several years and now my kids won’t even get coffee from the stores. I have to ship them coffee all the time from here and Deathy Ally is my favorite blend.

  • Small Metal Spatula

    Small Metal Spatula

    I am little behind on discovering the power of a small spatula., but now I am addicted. Tiny metal spatulas get into tight spaces (like desserts, casseroles) and lift food out easily.

  • Clorox Scentiva Wipes, Coconut Waterlily

    Clorox Scentiva Wipes, Coconut Waterlily

    I am sure everyone has used a Clorox wipe at some time, but I love them for quick clean up in the bathroom each week. As I finish my hair and make up in the morning, I grab one out for a quick wipe down of the sink and counter. Gone is the hairspray and toothpaste and it only took 30 seconds. The light coconut scent is the bonus touch.

  • John Frieda Ulta Filler Shampoo or Spray

    John Frieda Ulta Filler Shampoo or Spray

    I have very fine hair and when I need to add a little umph, this is my go to product. I have both the shampoo and the thickening spray and both make a huge difference.

  • Artificial Outdoor Flowers

    Artificial Outdoor Flowers

    For those who don’t have a green thumb nor have time to do much gardening, artificial flowers are the way to go! I usually go to Hobby Lobby because I like to touch and feel, but I have also ordered on Amazon. I love my natural flowers out back where I hang on the patio, but for out front or at my office, it’s hard to tell these are not real!
