I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I spent most of the day making apple pie that weighed well over 10 pounds. My arms are sore from trying to roll out that pie dough. Literally.

But now it's Friday, and you know that I am most definitely taking advantage of all the sales. Some have been going on all week so I've snuck in a few purchases for myself, and now it's time wrap up {see what I did there?} my Christmas list for everyone else.

holiday decor haul

I don't usually post videos on Tuesday, but it's the holiday season so I felt like there's no harm in sharing!

I've made a few purchases lately in terms of holiday home decor and wanted to show what I bought. The best part? Everything is so affordable and is sure to fit your budget!

plan with me: thanksgiving

I posted my first Plan With Me video today, and I'm so excited! I've been watching Plan With Me videos for months and months and finally decided to try my hand at it. I'm not a very quick planner {it takes me over an hour usually} so you can only imagine how much empty air I had to cut out. But for my first time trying this out, I consider this very successful!

Since Thanksgiving is on Thursday and I have a really short work week, I decided to try a new way of planning. And surprise! I like it a lot and think I might be using this format more often.

I've listed all of the shops mentioned in the video on my YouTube channel. And if you would like to see more of my planner spreads, make sure to follow me on my planner Instagram!

gift guide: for the cooks & bakers

Straight Rolling Pin // 'Rock' Cheese Knives // Monogrammed Lazy Susan // Salt and Pepper Mills // Nespresso VertuoLine Coffee & Espresso Maker // Marble Utensil Holder // Cooking for Jeffrey Cookbook // Storied Sips // I Hate Kale Cookbook // 22 Vial Spice Block Set // Golden Key Bottle Opener and Corkscrew // Where Chefs Eat // 15-Piece Bakeware Set // 'The Boss' Mug // 'Bon Appetit' Dutch Oven // 'Butter Me Up' Dish // World Vanillas Trio Set

I've been an avid baker and a sometimes cook for as long as I can remember. In fact, one of my favorite Christmas presents ever is the All-Clad cookware set my parents gave me when I graduated from college. And nowadays, I never complain when I get a gift card to Williams-Sonoma.

So this gift guide is tailored for those who, like me, find spending time in the kitchen really relaxing. Whether they're an at-home cook or the next great pasty chef, there's something here for them.

Baker bests: my favorite rolling pin, the best bakeware, a trio of vanillas.

At-home chef: the prettiest salt & pepper mill, the cookbook on my wish list, a Nespresso to keep you going.

SHOP MORE GIFTS HERE!

Don't forget to check out all of the other gift guides from this week! Plus, I have even more gift ideas in The Holiday Shop tab that I update daily. I'll be back next week with more holiday content. 

Have a great weekend!

new makeup & skincare

Sephora had their VIB Rouge/VIB sale in early November, and you know I couldn't pass that up. I bought a lot of things that I'd used up, some Christmas gifts, and skincare products I've been wanting to try. I got everything on my list so I consider this year's sale a success!

I would love to know if you purchases anything during the Sephora sale! For a full list of what I purchased, make sure to visit my YouTube channel and please subscribe!

gift guide: beauty gifts

Diptyque Baies Candle // Supersonic Hair Dryer // Simple Human Sensor Mirror // Hand Cream Set // Face Mask Set // Drape Front Cardigan // Essie Winter Nail Polish // Dior Matte Smokey Palette // Custom Magnetic Palette // Soufflé Body Crème Set // Glitter Makeup Pouch // Pamper Time Collection // Makeup Brush Set // Luxury Lipstick Wardrobe // Shimmering Snowlace Shower Gel, Shampoo, and Bubble Bath // Jet Set Collection // Perfume Fragrance Kit // Creme de Corps Collection

Today's beauty gift guide is definitely my second favorite one to put together. We all know that I love make up {I have a new Sephora haul video up today!} so this was just a bit too easy for me. We all know at least one person who is a total beauty fanatic so this is tailored just for them.

The holidays and Christmastime is the perfect time to give them that extravagant and luxury item they've had their eye one for awhile. It's that one thing on their wish list that they're not sure if they really need or if they want to spend the money, so why not treat them? Some of the items in today's gift guide are ones that I personally love, and others are ones that I may or may not get for myself this year.

Personal favorites: the best body lotion, the most festive makeup pouch, my go-to nail polish.

Luxurious things: a cozy and soft robe, new lipstick, the biggest and best candle, the prettiest neutral eyeshadows.

gift guide: for her

Hanky Panky Underwear Set // Slim Watch Set // UGG boots // Luxe Stack Ring Set // Mini Piñata Tassel Earrings // Glitter Battery Pack // Convertible Backpack // Windowpane Check Parka // Quilted Excursion Vest // 'Eat Cake for Breakfast' Slippers // Flowerbomb Perfume // Crispin Earrings  // Embellished Beanie // Coach Handbag // Quilted Velvet Crossbody Bag // Cupcake Charm Keychain // Fendi Sunglasses // Nike Air Max Thea Sneakers // 'Girlie Stuff' Makeup Pouch // S'well Water Bottle // Plaid Button Down

Today's gift guide is pretty jam packed. I won't lie though, this is probably my favorite one to put together. It's also the easiest since I just think of things I would want to buy for my family and friends and go from there. In fact, I would mind getting a few of these things myself! ;]

Whenever I shop for others, I like to buy the things they need or something that they wouldn't buy for themselves. A mix of practical gifts {something that she would use every day} and luxury ones {like a new handbag that will last her for years} is such a nice treat. So whether you're shopping for your mom, your sister, your best friend, or yourself, I think there's something here for you!

Everyday gifts: the best underwear {ever!}, the best water bottle, cozy and cute slippers, a fun keychain.

Luxury treats: a classic handbag, new sunglasses, a watch set.

Whether you're shopping for your mom, your sister, your best friend, or yourself, I think there's something here for you!

AND EVEN MORE GIFTS FOR HER!

gift guide: for him

'You Earned It' Bottle Opener // Burberry Wallet // Mr. Burberry Cologne // Weekender Duffel Bag // Fleece Pullover // Jack Black Power Pack // Old Course Scene Needlepoint Belt // Quilted Vest // New Balance Sneakers // FitBit 'Blaze' Watch // Club Monaco Leather Gloves // Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones // Blackwatch Scarf // Eataly: Contemporary Italian Cooking Cookbook // Henley Tee

Shopping for guys is always the hardest. Is it just me? No matter the occasion or the holiday, I fret over what to buy. I always want that present will 'wow' everyone, but I've come to realize that basics and tried-and-trues are the best way to go. Plus, sticking with the basics means that you know that they'll actually use them instead of seeing them tucked away on a shelf somewhere.

It's also really great to get that one item that you know they've had their eye on but just don't want to buy for themselves. It's a nice treat for them on Christmas day! Add in a few fun and quirky gifts that will make them chuckle and you're all set!

Favorite basics: a new scarf, warm gloves, a cozy fleece pullover, a layering henley tee.

Treats for him: new cologne, a leather wallet, a FitBit watch, wireless headphones.

Fun gifts: Old Course Scene belt, sneakers for any outfit, a quirky bottle opener.

MORE GIFTS FOR THE GUYS!

Shopping season is upon us, friends! Christmas is a little over a month away so I thought it was time to start sharing this year's holiday gift guides. To be completely transparent, I had planned on sharing a makeup haul today but didn't have time to film over the weekend. So instead, I'm sharing my favorite things, all of which I think would make great gifts!

My cold-weather must-haves: texting gloves, a cozy blanket, warm slippers {these made me think of Tinkerbell!}, and a fun mug for tea and hot chocolate.

My daily essentials: the best hydrating skincare products, a neutral eyeshadow palette, a pretty ring that goes with any outfit.

Other fun things: the best curling iron, a mixer for making delicious cookies, a candle that will remind you of a sunny vacation.

I'll be sharing a new gift guide every day for the next week and a half so make sure to check back every day!

Happy Monday!

thanksgiving home decor

Pumpkin Dinner Plates // Turkey Salt & Pepper Shaker // Fall Copper Cookie Cutter Set // 'Turkey and Pie and Football, Oh My!' Box Sign // Antler Bottle Stopper // Spiced Pecan Pumpkin Waffle & Pancake Mix // NEST Pumpkin Chai Candle // Turkey Coasters // 'Get Stuffed' Serving Platter // Chocolate Pecan Pie-in-a-Jar // Butternut Squash Bisque // Sunflower Mugs // 'Give Thanks' Banner //  Wooden Tray // Cast Iron Pumpkin Cocotte // Gold Flatware Set // Thanksgiving Crackers

It's amazing how quickly Thanksgiving is approaching! The days are just flying by, but I never seem to mind during this time of year. I love how festive everything is, which means that I have too many decorations for my own good. And for someone who doesn't have a real dining table, I dream up tablescapes and settings too often.

I wanted to share some of my favorite Thanksgiving home decor pieces from my go-to spots - Nordstrom, Williams-Sonoma, and Target. You'll have your place ready for Turkey Day in no time at all! Williams-Sonoma started their Friends & Family Event today so with the code FRIENDS, you get 20% off your entire purchase + free shipping.

OH! And did you see the new Holiday Shop page? Christmas isn't that far off, and it's never too early to start shopping! I'll be adding more and sharing my gift guides soon!

holiday sticker haul

Two things that I love: planning and the holiday season. If you don't know, I've been using a Happy Planner since July and absolutely love it! I wish I had known what they were sooner because I for sure would have started them much earlier than this past summer. And because I love writing about and posting videos of things that I love to read and watch, I wanted to share a holiday Etsy sticker haul! Honestly, I have so many holiday and Christmas kits to use and not enough weeks to use them.

Make sure to subscribe to my channel so that you know when I post the second part of this haul!

sephora vib sale recommendations & wish list!

Today is the day! It's the first day of the Sephora VIB Rouge Sale! Makeup and beauty products of any kind rarely ever go on sale, so even though it's just 20% off you should definitely be taking advantage of this discount.

I wanted to share my recommendations of what to get and what's on my wish list. My tips for this sale are to purchase the things that you use the most and start your holiday shopping. If you reach for it every day, then you probably go through it a lot and now is the time to stock up and buy a back up or two. That doesn't mean you shouldn't get any new fun holiday items {you should} but put those go-tos in your cart first!

Use the code 20ROUGE to shop the VIB Rouge sale starts November 4th until November 7th. For the VIB sale, use the code 20VIB to shop between November 11th and November 14th.

MY RECOMMENDATIONS!

MY WISH LIST!

october favorites

November is here! Happy November!

A new month = new monthly favorites. Makeup, food, fashion, Gilmore Girls... I covered all the important things. Plus, I made a decision about how to go about videos for the rest of the year!

From now til the end of the year, I'll be posting twice a week! Every Monday and Thursday {minus Thanksgiving}, I'll have more hauls, more planner videos, more favorites. I have so many things I wanted to film and realized I couldn't fit it in just uploading once a week. I'll still be posting here, more often too since the holidays are coming. So make sure to visit here and subscribe to my YouTube channel so that you don't miss a thing!
