Fashion, Food, + Frivolity for Healthy, Hardworking Women
My Starbucks app says that it’s “coffee weather,” which I think is all kinds of hilarious. IT’S ALWAYS COFFEE WEATHER in my world. We won’t talk about how it’s pretty much always iced coffee weather for me, however!
I was in for my usual iced coffee a few weeks ago and they were offering samples of the eggnog latte, so obviously I grabbed one! I’ll probably never order that type of drink, but I did enjoy the small sample!!
We’ve officially entered the shopping season and I feel as though I’ve heard just as much anger about the “artificiality of sales” as much as excitement for the season. We all have different experiences with the holiday season and, I’ve found, these sentiments change through the years…
There’s something wonderful about Thanksgiving. If you forget all the stuff that comes after this holiday, it truly is one of the best and aim finding more and more people who claim Thanksgiving as their favorite holiday.
So let’s ignore the sales, the shipping, and all the to dos that begin after Thanksgiving. Instead, let’s enjoy and look forward to the wonderful excuse to get together with loved ones (friends and family)!
I’m obsessed with figs as we all know! I’ve only ever really had figs (fresh and dry) in the last five years or so and I’m OBSESSED. Interestingly, I assumed I was the last one to the party, but I’m finding that when I ask people if they like figs, they stare back at me and say they don’t think they’ve had them! WELL if ever a recipe was going to ensure a new love affair, it’s these chocolate dipped figs.
I’m a little gung-ho on the eco posts recently, I know. The timing just happens to be a little bunched up right now. Truth be told, both Friday’s eco-friendly baby post on diapering and this list of conscious holiday season tips came about months ago as I was lacking inspiration postpartum. These two posts were among the few ideas of that time.
ANYWAY. There’s so much that goes into the holidays and it can be a stressful time. Whether it’s watching how much you’re spending on gifts, decor, and travel; to struggling to find gift ideas for those seemingly impossible people on your gift list, all of these ideas help with one or more of those issues.
