Lately

Sweater (also comes in navy)

Hope you are all having a great week! Sorry for my unannounced absence last week! I ended up getting too sick to blog/instagram, really do much of anything but lay in bed for about 4ish days. It was horrible and probably the sickest I've been in a long while. So glad that is behind me, that's for sure! I think so much is going around right now and I just really hope for everyone that it doesn't mess up anyone's holiday plans! 

So this week I have been taking it easy and resting but also catching up on work... kind of bad timing for my job to get sick, but is it ever convenient!? So I was a little stressed out this week but all is good! 

I also had fun recording as a guest on a podcast that I will share more about in the new year! I will be running around today with lots of errands to do. 

Saturday we have fun plans to go to a concert and out to dinner with family and friends. I'm really looking forward to that since I had to cancel our plans last weekend! 

My sister and her brother-in-law come home for Christmas this Sunday so it will be so fun to have them home for so long. We are going to get manicures next week and get lunch and fun things like that! 

I thought I would share links to all of the gift guides from this season! I know today is the cut off for ground shipping and 

Wearing: I've been mostly living in lounge clothes this week and I love the Tommy John brand. I did a sponsored post with the brand back in early November and I now have 3 sets. Everything is so high quality and I think what sets this brand apart from other lounge brands is that their items are tailored so nicely. So while they are comfortable for lounging, they are a little more polished! 

Eating: I've always bought the Annie's white cheddar shells when I want boxed mac n cheese but I recently discovered the Cracker Barrel brand mac n cheese (boxed) and oh my gosh, it is SO good!!!

Watching:
 While I was sick, I watched a random movie that was on TV called Kindergarten Cop which stars Arnold Schwarzenegger. I was not really even watching the TV when it came on but started to pay attention to it as it went on. It's from 1990 and I can't say that I loved it but it was certainly a 90s movie. I mean worth the watch, it kept my attention enough. I also watched Santa Claus 2 and it was cute! I forgot about it. Nothing can beat the original Santa Claus but the second one was totally worth the watch. 

Loving: Tuckernuck sent me the cutest holiday napkins

Wanting: I have absolutely no idea where I'd put this mirror but I LOVE it! You know what else I have been shopping for but coming up empty handed? Red ballet flats. I've been debating on this pair for a long while but I don't know if I actually want patent and I can't really seem to find any other pairs that I like.
Amazon Rec: My sister let me use her blush last weekend in Savannah. It is literally the texture of like lipgloss (but not sticky at all) and you put it on your cheeks and it turns a color on your cheeks that works with your skintone. It's crazy how it works but as soon as she used it on me, I was hooked and ordered some for myself. You can find more of my Amazon favorites, here!


Smelling: Southern Bungalow was so sweet to send me this fraiser fir candle. It smells absolutely DIVINE!!!! Just like a real Christmas tree- so fresh! If you haven't checked out this small business before, you must. Their candles are truly something special! 

Smelling II: Just ordered this diffuser for post-Christmas. It is my favorite scent and smells so fresh!
