Friday Favorites #125

Hello All! Happy Friday! Christmas is nearly here! I LOVE this time of year and look forward to it all year long.

Christmas in the city!

These past few weeks have been filled with so much Christmas cheer and the good news is there is still more Christmas cheer to be had. 

Warm drinks, fireplace going, and festive lights!

To no surprise, this post is filled with lots of holiday goodness. Here’s what I have been loving this week as I link up with Erika and Andrea.

Christmas Candle– My brother picked up this candle for me and I have been burning it all month long. It’s a sweet scent, but not overpowering. I tend to go with peppermint or balsam scents around the holidays, but I love the warm, sweet scent this candle brings. I’ll miss it when the season is over. 

Christmas Classic Movies- My boyfriend and I have been watching Christmas classic movies all month long, from the claymation to comedies, and even some rom-coms. I have been doing my best to watch as many Christmas movies as possible and I’m doing pretty well with my list. I even watched movies while I was wrapping gifts and it put me in the holiday spirit. 

Even my pup got in on the watch party.

Twinkle Lights- I wanted to add some new holiday decorations to my room and decided to string some twinkle lights with red bows above my bed. It was the perfect touch to my holiday decor. I have been using them when I read in bed at night and it makes the room so much more cozy and inviting. I love how they make me feel whenever I use them.

Jingle Jangle– Any Trader Joe’s fans out there?! I don’t have a store near me, but one of my other brothers do and they picked me up some Jingle Jangle. It was such a sweet surprise and I couldn’t wait to try it. I love a good sweet and salty mix and this satisfies my cravings. I LOVE it, perfect for the holiday season.

Hunter Boots– I have a pair of Hunter rain boots that I love and work great in rain and snow. I decided to get a pair of their winter boots (which were necessary after our recent snowfall) and I love them. They are well insulted, warm, and look cute too. Plus they were on sale! What could be better? These will definitely be getting a lot of us this winter season. 

That’s a look into life lately, SO much Christmas joy! Truly the most magical and wonderful time of the year. How are you enjoying this season? Have a wonderful weekend!

Friday Favorites #17

Hey guys! Happy Friday! Today’s Friday Favorites is holiday themed! I have been full-on Christmas spirit over here and I can’t wait to share some of my favorite things! As always, I’m linking up with Erika and Andrea for today’s Friday Favorites. Here we go!

Holiday Decor– Per tradition, we always decorate for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving, it’s a lot of work, but the end result is worth it. I love bringing out seasonal throw blankets, pillows and lights and using festive mugs and cups. I picked up my free red cup from Starbucks a few weeks ago, I waited until after Thanksgiving to start using it. There’s nothing better than watching tv, visiting with family and friends or reading, than with all the holiday decorations up. 

Peppermint Brownie Brittle– I always love to see what seasonal products stores roll out. It can be tempting to buy everything, whether it’s food or decor, but I try to only purchase my favorites. When I saw this Peppermint Brownie Brittle, I knew I had to try it. It’s the perfect mix of chocolate and mint and it satisfies your sweet tooth with a few pieces. This would make a great hostess gift or a fun stocking stuffer too. This would even make a great addition to add to your dessert or snack menu.

New Winter Scent– I was due for a new lotion and made sure I got a winter scent for the month of December. Winter Candy Apple is my favorite holiday scent from Bath and Body Works. It reminds me of Christmas in a bottle. I love the sweet and peppermint mixture and it’s just another subtle nod to the holidays.

Christmas Books– I told myself I would only be reading Christmas books in the month of December and I’m doing well so far. I picked up a few from my local library and can’t wait to read more. I’m currently working on A Shopalcohlic Christmas and have A Nantucket Christmas on deck. If you are a big reader, let me know what your favorite Christmas reads are.

Pinterest Christmas Finds– I have been scouring Pinterest for different holiday inspiration and ideas for the month of December. I have date ideas, recipes, even different places all decked out for Christmas saved. Pinterest is such a fun place to get ideas and try new things out. It’s definitely a fun way to pass the time too.

That’s just a look into some of my favorite holiday things this week. Let me know in the comments below on how your Christmas prep is coming. Happy December!
