One thing I don’t understand? Mean people on social media. The entire act of saying something horrible through a social media outlet, especially to someone you don’t know, is one of my biggest mysteries. If only I could meet someone who does that & figure them out…
I’m the person that looks at every single gift guide because one list doesn’t cover everyone. Each person has their own twist on gift guides & everyone on my shopping list has their own unique taste – I require all the options.
This is my ultimate gift list for the HIM’s & HER’s in your life! I based this list off gifts that either Wafiq or I received & we considered to be pretty good. I tried to do a wide price range so you can find something in whatever budget you’re looking for. Keep in mind, if you’re ordering gifts online, order soon! You want to receive the packages with plenty of time for wrapping & delivering!
With the beautiful holiday season upon us, I thought it would be a good time to encourage a thoughtful challenge.
With the gatherings that naturally happen around the holiday season & the exchange of gifts & meals shared there are plenty of times to be thoughtful of others. You’re continually being thoughtful of the best gifts to give the people on your lists, the tastiest meals for people you’re serving, & planning get-togethers with your close friends.
BUT, what about YOU!
Let the holiday shopping commence! For the real go-getters you’re already done with all your holiday shopping because you knocked it out during the black Friday sales. Well done. For the rest of us, we’ll be squeezing in time after work up until Christmas Eve.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING! There is nothing better than bringing everyone together over food in preparation of the winter months, we should make this a monthly thing. Call it something else perhaps? I’m into family/friends gathering over a nice meal & hitting pause for a moment to hopefully be together.
I had to set everything aside for this: Mercury Retrograde. I never considered myself someone who’s interested in astrology, space, planets, ect. BUT, I’ve heard enough people talking & I think I may have jumped on board, for now. It’s STORY TIME!
Holy smokes, Austin Texas rolled straight from the scorching heat of summer into the freezing tundra of winter. Fall? One thing I learned last year is the importance of a VERY warm jacket. Specifically, a jacket that you can easily wear with any outfit so you’re never feeling mismatched, rather always put together.
WOOT WOOT! Holiday times are right around the corner & this year I’m ready for it! I already have my tickets to the Nutcracker Ballet scheduled. If that doesn’t mean festive, I don’t know what does. If you’ve been following me, you know there have been plenty of years that I let the holiday season pass by me, not this time! Lez go.
I’m the queen of the quote “get rid of it”. If I have to think twice, whatever it is – is GONE! I wasn’t this way my entire life, I used to love holding on to every single thing I’ve ever owned because it all had a memory attached. I don’t know if it was therapy, anxiety, reality, or my having a brutally realistic conversation with myself – but I’ve made improvements.
Body moisturizer might not sound like a big deal to the average person, but that’s because they haven’t found the right one. I used to be like them – going about my life worrying about the right color lip gloss for my day, to wear flats or heels, what time I was going to sleep – but then I discovered a key part of my day to day activities: body moisturizer.
I’ve been wanting to do a fun Halloween look but had no where to wear it, so decided to go for it myself & try taking fun pictures afterwards – which is what we did! I consider this look the biker skeleton
Back to Basics with one of my favorite things – WILD RICE! If you haven’t introduced wild rice into your diet, it’s time. Wild Rice has a slightly nuttier flavor than traditional white or brown rice. I realize white & brown rice gets all the attention in the rice category but take a gander to the wild side of the grocery store next time you’re there. If you want the real deal, look for wild rice from Minnesota or Canada.
