– wishing I had bought more of these mini Christmas wreaths for each window and mirror –
– loving this crazy soft bolster pillow –
– treats for our delivery ladies and gents who work so hard –
– wishing I’d bought hydrangeas instead of peonies, they last so much longer! –
– the prettiest winter arrangement, I hope it lasts! –
I’ve been feeling the full spirit of the holidays lately, trying to enjoy as much peppermint coffee, holiday movies (Happiest Season = loved) and Christmas pajamas as I can. The month always flies by too fast, so I’m trying to really soak it up! Knowing that we won’t be traveling this month makes it more relaxing for sure.
I still have one person on my gifting list that I always have trouble shopping for. So I need do that like… yesterday. I hope the gift guides I’ve been sharing with you guys have been helpful for a little guidance this year! If there is a theme I haven’t hit, please let me know in the comments. I also have a “last minute gifts under $50” coming next week.
One of my gifts to myself this year is going to be a Pilates Studio membership. I’ve been out of the loop for what really feels like too long, and even if I need to wear a mask the entire time, I think it’s worth it. I was going to join this month, but after looking at my work calendar I didn’t feel like I would be able to enjoy it as much as I want to. It’s that “me time” that helps me feel more relaxed, more energetic and in a better overall mood.
Even though I secretly hate the cliché of getting back into fitness in January, it happens to be a slower work time and therefore… I’ll be there with the masses! Until then, I’m trying to get back into a little exercise in our basement. I was doing pretty well in the spring and once summer hit… so did my desire to sweat. BUT I feel so much better when I do, so I’m trying to remind myself about those endorphins.
If any of you have any tips for staying motivated in your fitness in the winter, I’d love to hear! I hope you guys have a fabulous weekend. Thank you so much for reading – XO –
My tip for staying focused to workout during the winter is to do short, intense sessions at home. I’ve always worked out in my basement (the only equipment that I have is a mat and a set of power block weights), I keep my workouts to 30 minutes and make sure that they are intense.
I saw that mentioned a lot on Instagram and I think that is SUCH a great reminder. Even just 15-30 min a day makes a difference. Such a great mindset!
So pretty! Could you please share links for everything in your first photo!
Could you do an updated stocking stuffer gift guide? I saw the one that you had posted a few years back and was hoping you could add to that. Thanks so much! Your style is so impeccable. Happy holidays!
Thank you for this suggestion – I’m going to try to do a post under $50 next week!
