This truly is the most wonderful time of the year! We just wrapped up 12 Days of Carmen’s Faves. I’ve already heard from so many of you, saying it helped with some Christmas gift ideas. Yay!! We really covered the gamut this year. We had Prayer Journals to Bible Studies to Sunglasses to Dresses to Table Runners. And we had Promo Codes! {and still have for a few things! See below for the ones still available to you!} Woohoo!

Val Marie Paper – CARMEN10 (Good through December 31)
While there is absolutely nothing in the world wrong with gift-giving (gifts are actually my love language), it can be easy to get caught up in the pageantry of Christmas. But just a few days ago, we had to pause Carmen’s Faves because one of my dear friend’s mom passed away. I was at her bedside when my girlfriend’s mom took her last breath. And at that precise moment, Christmas arrived in that room. We were all reminded of why Jesus came to us…. He came to truly bring JOY to the WORLD. So, this Christmas season, enjoy your family, give the ones you love some sweet gifts, but take time to pause and truly celebrate the very best gift of all… JESUS. He’s my favorite FAVE!

12. We’re finally at Day 12 and Momma is delegating! So it’s Haley filling in for her today!
Mom was introduced to Fran’s a few years ago by Natalie Grant. It was love at first bite! Yep, she immediately fell in love, and has caused all of us in her proximity to fall in love too! Specifically, it’s the Grey & Smoked Sea Salt Caramels. Oh. My. Goodness. Y’all. They are incredible. They are sweet and salty and absolutely perfect. Melt in your mouth, addictive perfect!
There are several size options to choose from; including the wedding favor size mom mentioned, or you can send the larger gift boxes to your loved ones. These also make for a nice hostess gift or a little something for that couple that has everything. Of course, you can always just buy a box for yourself, and have them sitting out when the family comes over.
We’ve actually sent them as a Christmas gift to some of our vendors/friends of the station the last few years. And one thing in particular that I like is that you can send to multiple people in one order, even if each have a different address, and you can add a personalized message to it! Want to take a guess on who has been the one doing the sending? ☺
Shop FRAN’s HERE!
I’m giving away three pairs of Fran’s Salted Caramel boxes today! Comment below with someone you would like to gift a box to, and if you’re chosen, we’ll send you one as well! I’ll pick a winner today at NOON!
11. My girlfriend, Siebe, introduced me to this amazing paper company in Nashville. It’s called Hester & Cook. They have amazing things!
I love the table runners. Seriously LOVE! I’m such a sucker for a pretty table! I love everything about a table! I love to set a table. For ALL occasions. And for ALL holidays! I think it’s just one of those simple pleasures in life. Plus, I love the time spent around a table! To me, there’s not too many things in life that is better than gathering with family and friends, over a home-cooked meal around the dinner table, or bar, or counter, whatever may be the case. So many meaningful conversations happen there. And belly laughs too! I think a pretty table is the icing on the cake!
With these runners, you can make any Sunday dinner with the family feel extra special, simply by pulling out the roll, and cutting a piece off. Just the other night for our last bible study of the year, I cut a strip of the gold & cream striped runner, and set it out on my counter just to add a little holiday sparkle to the presentation. Of course, ultimately it’s just about being together, but I truly do love the art (and love) of entertaining. Down-home Southern entertaining, not high falutin’.

We are giving away a couple rolls TOMORROW (12/16) on Instagram. Head to @themorningcruise, follow us and comment on the post TOMORROW (12/16) to win!
10. This has become my favorite prayer journal. It’s a 6 month journal from Val Marie Paper; it’s thin, and it’s easy to write in. And it’s broken down in these segments:
- World.
- Nation & Leaders.
- My Loves.
- My Family.
- Sweet Friends.
- Those Hurts.
- Personal.
- Answered Prayers.
- Scriptures.
- Quotes.
- And some other blanks to personalize.
So many times I get distracted when I’m trying to pray. This has been a simple tool I’ve used the last several years to organize my thoughts. It helps me keep notes of who I’m praying for and what I’m praying about. But the thing I’ve loved MOST about these journals is that I can go back and see how God has answered so many prayers. As a matter of fact, there has been something I have been diligently praying about for a few YEARS, and God has answered our prayers. Just in the last few months!!! AND, crazy enough – is cementing it this very day! My eyes are welling up with tears as I type this. Oh, how I can’t wait to share with you about it in the coming weeks…..
Maybe using a prayer journal like this could be a new way to kick off 2018!
Val was so sweet and offered us a discount code for everything on her website {except the yearly journals}. Use “CARMEN10” for 10% off your whole purchase!
Lastly, today (12/14) is the last day to order to guarantee Christmas delivery!

9. A few years ago I went to the Tampa Junior League’s Holiday Market at the Fairgrounds. It was packed with all sorts of fun things. But, the booth I loved the most was Jane Hudson! The stripes are what grabbed my attention. And then I felt the material. Um, hello! YES! I’m probably not describing it right, but it’s a cottony-spandex. Meaning, it’s soft but it holds its shape. I bought the Dillon Tank Dress in black … because a black & white striped dress is a staple in every woman’s closet. And the cut was very flattering for those of us that don’t have the flattest of tummies. I wore that dress at least once a week for about 4 months. Spring came, and I ordered the light blue striped. And then later that year for July 4th, I ordered the red. So, yes, it is true…I have this dress in 3 colors. The only one I’m missing is the navy!
The great thing about the Dillon Tank (or any of Jane Hudson’s dresses) is that you can pair it with literally ANYTHING! I have worn it by itself with a big necklace on a long chain (when it’s blazing hot outside!) and I’ve worn it with a denim shirt or a denim jacket. I’ve worn it with booties. And I’ve worn it with sandals. Their pieces are so versatile, and so COMFORTABLE. I could not love this dress more! It’s hands down MY VERY FAVORITE!!! Also, it’s currently on sale! My second favorite dress is the Jennings Swing Dress! You won’t be disappointed, I promise you. Abbey has the Zoe Maxi Dress. It looks amazing on her.
And just for reference, I wear a medium.
Coincidentally Kristin, creator & designer of Jane Hudson, is a graduate for the University of Florida, and has ties to our listening area. AND, she’s been generous enough to give us a discount code! Between now and the end of the year, you can use “CARMEN20” for 20% off your entire purchase!

I’m giving 2 dresses away today at NOON (December 13). Comment below to win! You pick the dress!
8. Hi I’m Carmen. And I’m a coffee snob. First it started with 1 cup a day (back in my college days). Then, I quickly increased to two. But, doing morning for the last 20+ years, I have at least 3, sometimes 4 cups per morning. My preferred brew is French Press. And I love my morning coffee black. In the last few years, I’ve added an afternoon “fix.” I like it iced with a splash of creamer. I have a straight up emotional relationship with coffee! Every time I step into Starbizzle, it just feels like a mini-vacation. (yes, I’m weird!)
Three Christmases ago, we were at a family friends house, and Hope served this amazing coffee with our desserts. I was flipping out over it! I’m not much of a flavored coffee girl, but this was incredible!! I finally asked her what it was. She told me “Fresh Market’s Christmas Blend.” I sent Pete out the next day to buy us some. Since it was December 26, it was half price and he came with 3 pounds each of regular & decaf. We enjoyed that coffee well into the new year!
Now one of my new traditions is to run past Fresh Market in early November, and buy their Christmas Blend. All during Sharathon, I brewed a French Press pot for me, Haley & Jayar. I love this coffee! I think it’s the vanilla combined with the clove. It’s just so so good! And of course, you have to have cute mugs to serve it in.
To purchase:
-The Fresh Market Christmas Blend – you can only purchase these in store. Click HERE to find a store near you! $11/1 lb. bag
-Buffalo Check Mugs from Pottery Barn – HERE! They’re currently on sale for a set of 4 for $25!

7. I am SO EXCITED about today’s FAVE!! I’ve fallen head over heels in love with DIFF Eyewear. If you know me, you know I love me some sunglasses. And I love all different styles & colors. Gold Aviators & Tortoise frames with blue lenses or gold gradient are my favorite FAVES. {Wow. That was really specific!}
I learned about DIFF earlier this year. And here’s what I love about DIFF. They are the “Toms” of Eyewear. And when I say Toms, you know what I mean by that, right? When you buy a pair of Toms, they donate a pair of shoes to a child in need. DIFF is the same! Every time you purchase a pair of sunglasses, you are purchasing a pair of eyeglasses for someone in need. You BUY one. They GIVE one. You can read about it HERE.
At first I was skeptical about the quality of DIFF. I didn’t expect them to be on the same level as Maui Jim’s, Ray Bans, Oakley or other well known brands. I bought my first pair over the summer (some Pink Aviators with gold frame) and I was 100% impressed with the quality. So much so, that I ordered the Bellas (tortoise, blue frame, polarized) and I’ve not worn another pair since!
Much like ABLE, I love when companies combine quality with philanthropy. To me, this is a winning combination! DIFF offers the same designer style brands for a fraction of the cost!
And here’s what I’m most tickled about! DIFF has given us a promo code! Use “CARMEN25” for 25% off between NOW and Thursday, December 21st!
{Fine print: Promo code not available on celebrity collaborations}.
Shop HERE!
Register by commenting below for my favorite pairs of Diffs. I’m giving away:
-2 Bella {Tortoise with gold frames)
-2 Bella {Tortoise with blue frames} Seen in pic!
CarCar would not steer you wrong. You will seriously love DIFF! And together, we really can make a difference.
6. Today’s FAVE is for the girl that loves her jammies. And I am SO THAT girl! Getting up at 4:45 every morning means I’m pretty much ready to get comfy at 8 o’clock every night, with lights out at 9. I love these sleep shirts! I just bought this red one, and have the blue & gray striped one too!
I got them at Nordy’s and they’re on sale right now! They are $38 each or two for $60. And Nordstrom always has free shipping – no minimum purchase required! You can get one for you, and one for a friend.
Shop for them HERE!
5. I’ll be honest, I’ve never really carried a lunchbox before. I mean, I did in elementary school. As a matter of fact, my very 1st lunchbox was a Holly Hobbie. Do you remember her?! But, as an adult, I’ve just not been a lunchbox kinda girl. I mostly grabbed lunch out. Or just didn’t eat.
But then, Whole30 happened. Two years ago. And I started cooking. And bringing my “brunch” {lunch at 10:30 when you do a morning show} to work. Because, of course, my lunch had to be “compliant” … Whole30’ers will know this term well.
And every girl needs a cute lunchbox, right? So, I went to the Vera Bradley Outlet store, and got me a really cute one. And then I bought my daughter, Haley one. And then my niece, Paulina. And I’m sure Abbey snagged one in there somewhere too. And now we’re all pretty much a card-carrying, Vera Bradley, lunch box totin’ family! And it’s one of my favorite things!
Shop for Vera Bradley lunch boxes HERE!
Or you can go to the Vera Bradley Outlet and get about 40% off these prices.
4. My girls & I love ABLE!! I’ve actually had a long-standing relationship with ABLE (formerly Fashionable). I can remember when their only offering was hand-woven scarves! The scarves were one of my favorite things years ago, and I was giddy when they reached out to me and told me how many of our listeners ordered that year.
The thing you need to know about ABLE is that they are a lifestyle brand focused on ending generational poverty by working with women who have overcome extraordinary circumstances. They manufacture directly in the communities they wish to impact, both locally and globally. ABLE has come a long way since scarves! They now have amazing leather goods, jewelry and much more. I love their bags! I’ve carried an ABLE leather bag for my laptop the last 5+ years. My favorite is the Alem Utility Bag. This year, they introduced the METALLICS. And who doesn’t love them some metallic?! As a matter of fact, I have several of the pieces give away!!
But, that’s not all!! Can we just take a minute and talk about the new Chelsie necklace? I ordered this necklace about two weeks ago, and have probably worn it 10 out of the last 14 days. I love this necklace! It goes with everything! It truly is my favorite necklace right now! I also love Chelsie’s story. You can read about it HERE. Being the daughter of an alcoholic who wasn’t able to beat this disease, I am cheering so hard for Chelsie. I actually say a little prayer for her every time I slip her design over my head.
I love the whole idea of helping someone else with every purchase that I make, and that’s exactly what you’re doing when you shop your Christmas list at ABLE. And finally – for TODAY ONLY (December 5) – Use: CARMEN20 – and get 20% off your purchase! Fine print: It can’t be combined with other codes, but it does work on markdowns! Good on orders of $50 or more. Yay!
I can’t say enough about this company. I know them personally and love them very much!
3. It’s THYME to get on the THYMES Frasier Fir Christmas Candle Train! For reals…
Come to my house (or the studio!) the day after Thanksgiving through Christmas, and there is a 100% chance this candle will be burning! As a matter of fact, this year, you could’ve stopped by my house, office or studio, and this candle would’ve been burning BEFORE Thanksgiving. This is hands-down my favorite Christmas candle. I have the 3 wick. I have the green glass one. I have the white tin, tree branch one . I have the smaller silver tin one. And I have the votive. I think that about covers it.
This truly is the best smelling Christmas candle on the market. Especially if you’re like me and not into the froo-froo smelling candles. Give me the woodsy ones all day, er’day.
Oh, and a HUGE thank you to Hope for introducing me to my most beloved Christmas candle 3 years ago! She deserves all the credit.
Here’s a link to the whole collection on Thymes website!
I get my 3-wick HERE!
2. She Reads Truth! I first saw Ellie Holcomb post about She Reads Truth a few years ago, and then I noticed that my oldest, Haley, was getting these bible studies “auto-shipped.” My bible study breaks for the Summer, so this past July I decided to order a SRT bible study for myself. I ordered “The Life of David.” I’ve done in-depth bible studies on David before, so I was interested in participating in this one. The thing that was different about this study, as opposed to others I’d done, is that it wasn’t as “guided” as I had been accustomed to. But, what I loved about it is that it had me in a significant amount of scripture each day, and then gave me a whole page to journal anything I wanted. Some days I asked God about a verse I had just read. Other days, I simply wrote a prayer. Yet others, it was more of a journal entry. The studies are definitely bible study meets journal.
Bottom line, She Reads Truth is about women being in the Word of God every day! I want to be this woman! And the more we’re in the Word, the more we want (and need!) to be in the Word. When I start getting snippy, 9 times out of 10, I can trace it back to neglecting my quiet time with Jesus! I think these studies will be a great tool and treat for the women & (and men!) that you love most! They’re rich in content, they’re beautifully designed, and they’re also the best gift you can give yourself!
Individual studies are around $24 each, or you could set up an auto ship for around the same price monthly, and you’ll get every study for the entire year!! I’m doing this for 2018.
Check She Reads Truth HERE!
Merry Christmas!
I have been holding on to this cute thing since JUST AFTER Mother’s Day! If I had seen it before Mother’s Day, it would’ve made the list then. It’s been hard to not tell you about it, because you know me …. When I find something I like I love to tell you about it.
1st up: The Palma Cosmo Makeup Bag by Veeshee.
Yeah, yeah, I know what you’re saying… “What’s so special about a makeup bag, Carmen?” Welp, I’m glad you asked!! These makeup bags are CUSTOMIZABLE!!! You can pick the pattern & fabric that you want, on both the inside and outside. You can also have a name or monogram embroidered which makes it super personal! And they make the design process so fun! I had Haley design one (that we’ll be giving away on air) and the turn around time was less than a week! When it arrived, we were both impressed with the quality of the bag. So much so, that I immediately went on and designed 2 more!
And, one other really cool thing … you can use the discount code “CARMEN10” for 10% off!
These will be great for daughters, nieces, aunts, besties, and any other women in your life. They’re also really affordable at $35.

Christy Wetherington
I love the Jane Hudson tank dress! As a Florida mommy of 3, the newest just 3 months old, the dress would make a great addition to my wardrobe! I am on leave from my job as a high school teacher and the dress would be nice for my mommy duties and then transfer nicely to my teacher wardrobe when I return to work!
Haley
Congratulations! You are a winner of a Jane Hudson dress! Send an email to haley@thejoyfm.com for info on how to get yours!
Ruthy k
I love dresses that are comfortable and easy to wear!!:) Beautiful ❤️
Autumn Rager
I have always wanted a prayer journal, but can’t seem to find one I really like. This one sounds great!
Haley
If you order, order soon! They’re running low on stock because of all the order this morning so I’m not sure how long they’ll last! And let us know how you like it!
Debbie Owen
I have been looking for a wonderful Prayer journal, thank you for sharing, I have already placed my order.
Haley
Awesome! We can’t wait to hear what you think! Snap a pic when you get it in and tag us on Instagram @themorningcruise!
Emily Buck
This prayer journal looks beautiful. What a great way to stay organized. My prayers are divided up into categories like this, but splattered all over a bunch of different loose leaf papers that I stick into my bible & fall out everytime someone grabs my bible.
Theresa Stride
I would give my mom a box of chocolates, as a small way to bless her for the many things she does. I am my momma’s girl – we both share a deep love for caramel and chocolate O:)
Lee
My friend, Jennifer, is always the first to jump up and offer to help. She works a full time job, loves her sweet family, makes meals for those of us that are down and out for whatever reason, fills gaps at our church whenever needed, and is just an all around sweet person. She would love the chocolate. 🙂
Julie Gavin
I’d like to send the chocolates to my mom and Dad! They have always sacrificed so much for our family. My mom is a hard working 2nd grade teacher and my dad is currently working night shift so they never get a chance to see each other much. I’d like to gift this to them to enjoy together this Christmas and spend some sweet time together 🙂
Sharon
Would love to give this to Beth for all the support she has provided over the past four years.
Karen Rayner
My name is Karen Rayner and my neighbor is my niece Jenna Deriso. She needs a box of caramels because she is always giving to everybody else. If anybody needs anything, call Jenna and she will do it or give it any time of day. She just had baby #5 and has moved in to her house next door and she has Christmas and the house and the baby ALL under control! She is a blessing to everyone who knows her. Please send her a box of your faves Carmen!
Susan Burton
My sister in law Debra will be celebrating her 59th birthday this month. A beautiful Godly woman who raised 4 children in Cameroon, Africa while she and her husband worked as bible translators to teach the Backa pygmies the word of God. Now she is living in N.Y. helping her daughter and son in law with their 3 children under the age of 4.
Kendal Thomas
Hey guys, so my momma is the sweetest and craziest (in a good way) woman. Our family has been through a lot (which many families have) but she has been my rock through it all. I always want to spoil her with lavish gifts because she is more than deserving, but every year all she wants is a box of chocolates. This would be a perfect gift to give her this year.
Sarah Tusing
I nominate my friend Michelle Sievert. She has had a really rough year.
Bonnie Johnson
Good morning! Thank you for the opportunity to nominate somebody who would be deserving of and blessed by this wonderful gift of Fran’s decadent chocolates. I nominate “Mom” Sue Grimes. Mom Grimes was a special part of our wedding in April of this year. She and her husband, “Dad” Ed Grimes has been a very important part of my husband‘s life for the last many years. Dad married us on April 22 of this year. Because he was the officiant, he was more in the spotlight than Mom.. I have been thinking I want her to know how much she truly blessed us with all her help (especially when I was in bride melt-down mode) and love leading up to the wedding. Please bless Mom- Grimes with this treat, letting her know that she is truly the sweetest!
Deborah Hoffman
I lost my fiancé this year and my neighbor, Dave, will bring my trash can in every Tursday for me. What a great help he has been. Doing this for me. Since I get in late on that day from work. I would love for him and his wife to receive a box of salted caramels from Fran. Thank you so much! And I would love to try them myself.
Marianilda Vazquez
Good morning and God bless I have the best boss ever and I’d like to give him some of these. She is a chocolate lover but, not only that she is loving and caring passionate about her job and she can balance out being a boss and being your friend at the same time..
Valarie Davenport
I woukd nominate my best friend, Luella Tracy. She has been having a rough time this holiday season. She is disabled and her back has kept her bedridden for the past couple of weeks and she could really use some cheering up.
Jaime
I would like to nominate my mother-in-law Patty. She is the most loving, caring, giving, selfless woman I know. She is always meeting the needs of others before herself. She deserves the best chocolate as a way to say thank you!
Jennifer
Good morning and MERRY CHRISTMAS! I would love for you to send some chocolates to my niece, Halie Lindsey. She is a mom of 4 precious children under 4. She is the wife of a Marine and they are stationed at Cherry Point, NC, but were in Okinawa 3+ years. She just had twin boys on the 4th of July (which is the coolest being a Marine wife). Right now all four of the kids are sick and she had to take Solomon to the ER in the middle of the night. She also had to take Gabriel with her while Josh stayed home with the girls, Scarlett and Lorelai. They are the sweetest family and Josh and Halie are doing a wonderful job at parenting. Halie is an uber healthy eater and I would love for her to have the chance to treat herself! Merry Christmas!
Amanda wynn
I would Love to send my mom a box of these caramels. She is fighting her second battle of breast cancer and is trusting in God to heal her once again. We did lose my mother in law to breast cancer years ago and this scares me more than anything but like my mom I am trusting in my GOD to heal her again! Carmen you are the best.
Bobbie Kless
My neighbor Fe Sichon DeAngelo is the best neighbor on Earth. She is constantly making my family food, getting our mail when we aren’t home, and watching my kids when my sitter cancels. Her husband has dementia and she takes care of him everyday so that he can stay at home with her. I truly love her and she deserves something sweet. Please send her a box of Frans Salted Caramel.
Malayna Sheffield
I’m Malayna and I am 11 years old and she LOVES caramels. She loves having my four brother’s and I over. We always steal her candy so I wanted to repay the favor. I love you Carmen!!!!
Malayna Sheffield
I meant to put my Meme!! Sorry about not putting her name!! (This is still Malayna Sheffield) (the “she” is my Meme)
Sarai Sapp
I would like to give this to my neighbors because they have always been there for a Steve always checked on those when we were at our worst they’re always professionally and I’ve always made extra special times to be your friend and they are wonderful people they recently just got married and closed on their first house and I just want to give this to them as a congratulations and a good luck to your future
Sarai Sapp
I used talk to text lol sorry for typos
Mackensie Soto
My best friend Jeannie is the most amazing woman! She sacrifices so much for her family, and suffers silently with daily wide spread pain. She is such an inspiration, and her faith encourages me daily. She’s the one I call when I’m losing my mind, and she always points me back to God’s amazing power… Plus, she LOVES chocolate! Like, chocolate is her love language… Really. Thanks for listening!
Mackensie Soto
Sorry.. Jeannie would be the perfect one to send these caramels to! 😁
Olivia
My best friend Jennifer would LOVE this try these chocolates – sea salt caramel is our favorite!!
Nancy Bacon
Merry Christmas! I’m a big fan of yours and the Morning Cruise. I would love to send a box of the Salted caramels to my niece. She is a single mom who has moved back to Miami and struggles every day to make a living for her and her five year old daughter, Xuly, who is like a grand-daughter to me. But she is an awesome mom.
Colby Malloy
I would love to send a box of caramels to one of my fellow teachers at my school. Over Thanksgiving break she was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer. Having to leave her classroom for treatment was not only devastating for her but for her students who love her dearly. Sending a box of sweet treats will be a great way to let her know we are thinking and praying for her! 💕
LeAnne Vincent
My friends, Laura & John Seiverd, are deserving of this yummy gift! They help us out with our kids, we swap babysitting to get in date nights, & are genuine! They will help out wherever it’s need and our kids are good friends! I love doing life with them as friends!
LeAnne
Heather Eva
I would love for my dear friend, Alicia, to receive today’s “favorite thing”! She is selfless, kind, generous…the list goes on and on. I cannot express my love and appreciation for her enough. She is always doing for others; a member of numerous ministries, organizing events, lifting others up, including myself. These chocolates are just the tip of what my friend deserves! She is the pure definition of a good and faithful servant! Please pick her!
Tina Reid
I wanna nominate my sister for a box of Frans salted caramels because she’s always there for me and my three kids. Life with a family can be hard and she’s always there to make it easier. Shes the most kind and generous person I know and truly deserves it.
