What happens when you combine a passion for wellness, an intimate gathering of friends, and a mission to save lives? You get an absolutely electric evening! I am still buzzing from our first-of-its-kind "Favorites Party" fundraiser for the American Heart Association, hosted by Hi Favorite.
The vibe was exactly what every favorites party should strive for from now on: casual, intimate, and overflowing with joy. We spent the night swapping stories, testing out new wellness routines, and discovering products that don't just fill our homes—they fill our hearts. From learning new pilates moves to tasting heart-healthy treats, every moment was a reminder that taking care of ourselves is the ultimate act of gratitude.
Together, we raised awareness and funds for the Go Red for Women campaign called “Woman of Impact”, proving that heart health can be as fun as it is vital. Here are the "favorites" that stole the show:
For the Heart & Soul
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck Wellness starts in the mind. This book by Mark Manson was a hot topic for its "counterintuitive" approach to happiness. It’s all about focusing on what truly matters—a perfect philosophy for keeping your stress levels low and your heart happy.
Hess Collection Allomi Cabernet Sauvignon What’s a party without a great pour? This Napa Valley Cabernet is rich and complex. We enjoyed various wines throughout the evening while discussing how moderation and high-quality ingredients are key to a balanced lifestyle.
BROOKSIDE Dark Chocolate (Acai & Blueberry) The ultimate guilt-free indulgence! Dark chocolate and berries are famous for their antioxidant properties. These were the perfect "heart-healthy" snack to pass around while we chatted.
Self-Care & Radiant Skin
VOESH Vitamin C Shower Filter We all fell in love with this "spa in a box." It’s a shower head filter that infuses your water with Vitamin C and vegan probiotics. It turns a daily chore into an aromatherapy session—talk about filling your heart with joy!
LANEIGE Lip Glowy Balm (Gummy Bear) was a total crowd-pleaser. It’s a lightweight, moisture-locking balm that leaves a high-shine tint without feeling sticky. The gummy bear scent added a playful, joyful touch to our self-care kits.
LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask (Berry) for an overnight boost and infused with Vitamin C and a "Berry Mix Complex," it’s a favorite for hydrating dry lips while you sleep—a small but mighty act of self-care.
COOLA Organic Face Sunscreen SPF 50 Protecting your skin is a major part of long-term wellness. This fragrance-free, organic formula is a favorite because it feels like skincare, not just sunblock. It’s vegan, gluten-free, and perfect for daily wear.
Movement & Wellness
ProBody Pilates Fitness Circle We even discussed how to get a little movement in! This 14-inch "magic circle" is incredible for toning the arms, legs and glutes at home. It’s lightweight, effective, and a great way to keep your heart pumping without needing a full gym.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special evening. Let's keep the "Hi Favorite" aura alive by choosing products and habits that support our health every single day!
