A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

Hi everyone! I hope your week is off to a great start. Today, I wanted to share a few of my favorite things for the holiday season. I’m really enjoying this Christmas season, even though it’s quite different than any other year. To begin, my most FAVORITE thing of all is having my boys home under one roof. My husband and I are so happy when everyone is home. My youngest son came home last night from college for winter break and my middle son will be visiting soon! And I have three days left of work until I’m off for two weeks. I’m looking forward to this much needed vacation at home. I hope you enjoy a few of my favorite things!

Reading

First of all, I finally finished reading a book this Christmas season! With my super busy schedule, I find it hard to carve out time to read most of the time. However, I knew that had to change. Reading is something I love to do. I read my daily scriptures each morning and I also enjoy reading fun books too. I started reading another book this week and will share a book review next week.

Decorating

I’m refreshing my home with new furniture and accessories and so far I ordered a dining table, a console table, mirror, side tables, lamps, bed for my bedroom, quilt, sheet set, pendant, and placemats. A few of these items arrived last week, including my dining table, console table, and placemats. I’m having fun playing with table settings!

Accessories Around the House

I also ordered some accessories to use around the house that I’m really loving, like these bathroom wastebaskets, this floral coffee table book, and this new sisal rug I ordered for my entryway. I love this rug so much that I think I’m going to order another for my living room.

Beauty

I’ve been sharing more beauty items lately and want to thank you for supporting me in that endeavor. I found some beauty buys that I LOVE using on a daily basis. Here’s a shortlist of my must-haves for women my age! Charlotte Tilbury foundation, Charlotte Tilbury mascara, Bobbi Brown undereye corrector, Bobbi Brown Concealer, Bobbi Brown pressed powder, and NARS blush. This blush is the best blush I’ve ever used in my entire life (and I wear blush ever day).
