Hi friends! Happy Friday! How was the week? It was a great one over here, but it always blows my mind how quickly December starts to fly by. I can’t believe it’s less than two weeks until Christmas and while I’ve checked out a majority of my list, there’s still a lot to do.
In between everything, we’re trying to make time for holly jolly fun: a night at Winterhaven, our annual Christmas at the Princess trip, baking cookies and watching holiday movies. I’d love to hear what you have going on this weekend! P has basketball, we’re seeing Zootopia 2 with friends, and have a holiday party. Hope you have a lovely weekend ahead!
(LOVING this book! It’s light, fun, and festive)
For now, it’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party. This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love to hear about your faves, too, so please shout out something you’re loving in the comments section below.
12.12 Friday Faves
Here’s a roundup of this year’s gift guides if you’re still shopping!
Everything is linked on my ShopMy for easy access and this page has a roundup of some of my top picks, too.
Read, watch, listen:
Michael Bublé doing the Concert with the Poor at the Vatican. This has been my work soundtrack all week!
Latest from Vivrelle! GINAHARNEY gets you your first month free.
Got these advent calendars at Target for the girls. They’re cookie dough gelato bites! (No added gluten but they do contain oats)
Not a fave… Moulin Rouge. I was SO excited to go last weekend and ended up leaving during intermission. It’s one of my favorite movies, but the story didn’t translate well to the musical. The book was… not good… and they also added more current songs to the mix. The entire show felt like slapstick to me, plus I forgot my jacket in the car and was freezing, so I called it quits. The only other show I’ve ever left at intermission is Cats, which says a lot lol.
Happiness tips for busy friends.
Shopping, health, and good eats:
These cutie clogs. I’d been seeing the Birkenstock ones around for a while but didn’t know if I could pull them off since I wore that exact same shoe in 5th grade. I remembered how comfy they were and the fact that they matched any jeans outfit, so I bought a cheaper pair at Target. Liv was instantly obsessed with them, so I ordered a pair for her, too.
Lots of Farm Rio this week!
This sweater
and this dress.
I got the dress during their Black Friday sale and the sweater is from Rent the Runway… but I’m tempted to keep it. 😉
Also got this Favorite Daughter sweater from RTR <— this link gets you 60% off your first month:
This Japanese BBQ sauce is everything. I used it in this recipe last night and it was a 12/10, but I’ve just enjoyed it drizzle on meat and veggies this week.
Madre’s famous grammie recipe
