Books to Give

| 20 Comments

As we get closer to Christmas, the window for shopping online is closing! A lot of retailers won’t guarantee delivery unless you upgrade the shipping. One thing that you can buy pretty much up until a few days before the big day? BOOKS. Whether you pop into your local bookstore or shop with Amazon, you can’t go wrong with giving a book for the holidays.

There is a book out there for every recipient.  This year two people on my list are getting books (they definitely don’t read my blog, so I’m safe saying that 😉). I’m rounding up some crowd-pleasing options:

The 5 Best Ways to Reflect on Your Year

| 24 Comments

I’m a little in denial about the year coming to an end! One great thing about having a blog is that it serves as a nice reminder of where I was (mentally and physically!) at any given point in time. Documenting my life can be weird at times, but I can’t deny that I love looking…

Festive Finds

I’m always on the hunt for fun things to incorporate into my daily uniform. Sweaters and jeans are my go-to during the winter and it can get monotonous after awhile. I got this turtleneck last year and it’s one of my favorite things to wear when it gets extra chilly. Adding the little scarf just makes it a little more festive for the holidays!
