Nine Favorite Things

This has been one of the most amazing weeks โ€” truly such a whirlwind! A total of four cities: New York, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, back to LA, then Costa Mesaโ€ฆ and now, finally, Iโ€™m home!

These past two weeks of travel have been so special. New York kicked things off with the most incredible photoshoot โ€” such a dream team. It was a two-day shoot, and I get to share it with you tomorrow!

Then came Dallas, where I had the chance to film a holiday entertaining story with one of our partners, LTK. That will be coming later this month โ€” I canโ€™t wait for you to see it!

Next stop: LA! The start of our holiday tour with Williams-Sonoma. I kicked things off Monday night at an event hosted by Emma Grede, co-founder of Good American and currently CEO of the brand founded in 2016. And she is a founding partner in Skims with Kim Kardashian.

Her podcast is one I listen to every week. Sheโ€™s such an inspiration and a total powerhouse. The moment I got the invite, I knew I had to go! What an honor to be there. The night was incredible โ€” listening to Emma speak, meeting her, and just taking it all in. I felt so lucky to be surrounded by such an inspiring group of women and men.

Tuesday was night one of the tour โ€” Palo Alto! We had just over 500 people, and wowโ€ฆ what a night. If you could have seen how happy and excited I was! Everything about it was so special. My only wish was to have more time to really talk with everyone. It all goes by so fast, and I just want to connect with you all!

Thank you to everyone who came โ€” you made that night unforgettable.

Then Wednesday night, we did it all again in Costa Mesa! My little sister Asher made it to this one at the tail end, which was so nice. Both nights were pure magic. We had espresso martinis, pizza, schnitzel, and mac and cheese for everyone. The stores smelled like the holidays โ€” I loved every single minute. Thank you to everyone who came, waited in those crazy lines, and shared your stories with me.

Our community is the kindest and most supportive โ€” I truly love you all!

Iโ€™m so excited for Nashville and Charlotte this week! If you havenโ€™t gotten tickets yet, grab them now โ€” theyโ€™re going fast, and the Williams-Sonoma team has to cap the events at around 500 people.

Let me know what would be most helpful to share ahead of Thanksgiving this year. Weโ€™ve got just over three weeks to prepare! What are your Thanksgiving plans?

1. Things Iโ€™m Loving.

lovingโ€ฆItโ€™s Officially the Year of Ralph Lauren Decorโ€”Hereโ€™s How to Get the Look. Iโ€™m all about this classic, old-school Christmas. Christmas for me is all about the traditions we know and love. Sprinkled with a few fun new decor pieces each year!

And you know I love all Josie Maran products, so their Body Butter, Fragrance Mist, Sugar Scrub Gift Set is a definite recommend.

If you have someone on your list who loves to try new perfume scents, you cannot go wrong with the Phlur Mini Perfume Sampler Set.

The Saie, Best of Saie Mini Vanity Case Vault is a gift all in its own. Just add a cute bow on top!

And last pick, Dieux Heavenly Hydration Hydrate, Glow, and Firm Skincare Gift Set.

  1. Another HBH x Snif candle? Sign me up! I love all of the scents that you have collaborated on with Snif and I buy several at each release. Thanks for all you do and the wonderful content you produce!

    1. Aww, thanks so much, Ann! Iโ€™m so glad you love all of the candles as much as I do! I appreciate your support!

      Have a great week!

  2. Omg! Tieghan!! What an amazing whirlwind! As a photographer I canโ€™t wait to see your photos from your shoot! You need to get over here to Australia for a lil tour also!!! That would be sooooo good! Iโ€™ve been following your journey for so many years and have really enjoyed reading this! Congratulations xx Claire

    1. Aww, thanks so much, Claire!! I appreciate you reading today and all of your support! I would love to visit Australia, that would be amazing!

      Hope you are off to a great week!

  3. Hi T,
    I always enjoy your upbeat 9 favorite things post. I was surprised though that this week there wasnโ€™t any mention of any food drives or food security initiatives the HBH team is participating in given the situation faced by many families right now. As a long time fan and follower, and that your blog is food oriented, and holidays can be challenging for many families- it seems like something that should have been mentioned. Perhaps at a future signing you could include a non-perishable food drives? Just a thought, as I am sure many would enthusiastically participate.
    Safe travels for the remainder of your tour!

    1. Hey Heather!

      Totally hear you on this issue! We actually support a few charities focused on getting food to families in need, especially during the holidays! Weโ€™re just not vocal about it.

      I do love the idea of bringing a charity element into our events moving forward. I am going to talk with the teams and see what we can get done. Great thought!!

      Hope you had a nice Sunday and happy November!!!

      1. I agree. Iโ€™d like to hear more about philanthropy than skincare and supplements. Maybe youโ€™ll inspire others to be charitable too.

  4. I heard you say at your book signing that your dad cleans for you. Youโ€™re so lucky! I have to do all my cleaning myself.

  5. You said that you are releasing your Thanksgiving post tomorrow, but you already have a Thanksgiving postโ€ฆ Is this one going to be different? Iโ€™m a little confused as to why they are going to be two.

    1. Hi Ashley,
      That will be my 2025 Thanksgiving Menu and Guide. I like to share one each year with recipes from past years and new soon to be shared recipes. I hope you will love it!

  6. I was at the signing over the weekend! Is your name spelled TIEghan or TEIghan? Iโ€™m worried it is spelled incorrectly on the signed page ๐Ÿ™

    1. Hi Caroline,
      Thanks so much for coming! Itโ€™s spelled Tieghan. Please let me know if you have any other questions!

  7. Hey T!

    What does it mean when you put โ€œlowโ€ in parantheses? And other termsโ€ฆ just wondering.

    โ€œ everything in my cart (low)โ€ฆloving winter coats right now. This Zara oversized long coat will be so pretty to style for November and December parties.โ€

    1. Hi Ginger,
      It means those are items with pricing on the low end. Thanks for asking! Please let me know if you have any other questions!

    1. Hi Louise! We donโ€™t have any plans for 2026 as of now. Iโ€™m sooo sorry!!
      But maybe next fall!

      I hope you had a nice Sunday! Happy November ๐Ÿฆƒ

  8. Hi Tieghan,

    My friend and I were at the Palo Alto event! Iโ€™m sure you must have been tired signing all those books, but you were so sweet, and we were so happy to meet you! Have a great week!

    1. Thank you so much for coming, Christine! I truly had the best time and appreciate all of the support! Have a great Sunday!

  9. Tallin, Estonia is just wonderful. So happy that you get to have that experience. I always remember walking upstairs to a craftmakers building on the original wooden stairs. I couldnโ€™t imagine how many people have walked their before. I saw some of the most outstanding art in Europe. Do experience a sauna, even if it is your hotel. We were staying in a big hotel which had a suana and we booked an hour. It was a party room! There was just the two of us but you will see what a way of life it is.

    1. Hi Judy,
      Thanks so much for taking the time to read today. I have actually never been to Tallinn, Estoniaโ€ฆ.just dreaming of going there. It looks and sounds quite amazing! Thanks for sharing your experience! Have a great week ahead!
