I know this month's recap is a little late, but it's because Thanksgiving was so late this year that by the time that was over it was basically Christmas. Nonetheless, I had some great purchases, some favorites and overall November was just a great month and I want to still do my recap even though it's about to be the second week of December already.. oh well!
Recap
Like I said, November was a much better month. Still some stress with work and finances, but being able to take a week long vacation at the beach with my family for the holidays made it all worth while. Sometimes life can get so crazy, so you just need to take a step back and remember what's important in life.
Highs & Lows
Highs: Can you have the same high and low? I love Christmas time and I love buying presents, decorations and all those good things. It's just a great time of the year, but not because of the stuff that you buy. I honestly just love the holidays and spending time with family and friends.
Lows: At the same time, my low is.. damn dude adulting and adult finances such. Let's just be honest it sucks when you're in a financial crunch during this time of year. If you're going through that too I feel you. Just remember the holidays aren't about money and gifts..if you think it is you have your priorities wrong. Yes it's stressful, but spending time with your loved ones is what's most important at this time of the year.
Links I Love
Baby Yoda Memes // Okay...there are just too many of these to keep track up. If you've watch The Mandalorian on Disney+ then you know the adorable chaos that Baby Yoda has brought to this world.
Christmas Lights // This one really triggered me because as a kid my grandparents would drive my brother and I around the town, hot chocolate in hand, looking at the Christmas lights. I saw this post on Facebook and marked it down as my a part of my Christmas to-do list.
Adulting Memes // Most of these I find on Instagram so make sure to follow me on Instagram to see my stories, but these "adulting memes" just get me.
Lizzie McGuire // Lizzie is coming back to Disney and so is most of the original cast. That's it. That's my whole announcement.
Favorites
Mahogany Balsams Candle // During Black Friday Bath & Body Works had a buy 3, get 3 free deal. It was a great deal and I got some new candles not only as gifts, but as a treat to myself. I got my favorites such as High Intensity Mahogany Teakwood and Marshmallow Fireside, but I wanted something to make my home smell like "Christmas." They had the Balsams (aka Christmas tree) scents, but I can get those anywhere. That's when I discovered the Mahogany Balsams candle and oh my god.. can I have a long enough story about how I found my dream Christmas candle? The point is.. run to your nearest Bath & Body works and BUY this candle. 12/10 highly suggest.
Nutcrackers // I've always loved nutcrackers and this year we decided to paint and decorate our own. I loved how mine turned out and I can't wait to share it with you all later!
The Mandalorian & Baby Yoda // As I mentioned earlier, Baby Yoda has completely stolen my heart and I'm okay with it. One of the best parts of Disney+ is the original series "The Mandalorian" and Baby Yoda.
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Nail Polish Color China-Snap // I've shared my love for this specific brand of nail polish before, but I recently picked up this dark wine shade called "China-Snap," I know.. a color.. who is she??
