It’s long past black Friday… but I can STILL guarantee you that I will NOT be out with the crowds, it is just not my thing. In fact, it is funny, I used to love shopping, especially thrifting, but after having kids, I just don’t savor it as much as I did. It is TOO much work. But shopping online and having it delivered right to my door, now that I can do!
Even without shopping on purpose… I do have a few of my go-to things from this year to share with you! So thank you Melissa, of 320 Sycamore for inviting me to join in on her go-to things series this year!!
I tired to break it down into a few different sections of my life…
Working on my fitness…
Um, yeah. So I have been trying to get back into shape… It is hard and a long process. So far I’ve lost 10 lbs and about 6-7 inches… so that is solid, but it is also taking a long time so I have a long way to go. Things I really like right now are realy helping me:
My solid trainer Tennison!!, For days I don’t want to go to the gym… some direct hand weights, and our Total Gym XLS Trainer, and my newest addition, my own little blender baby a new Blendtec Total Blender.
Putting on Makeup:
I am not a big makeup girl, I wear it when I go out, most of the time, but that is about it. I have never bought “real” makeup, although I just ordered a kit from Maskcara that I am really excited to try it out. But this year I found three things at the drug store that I love. Dry Shampoo, a new mascara, and a lip stain… cuz I NEVER reapply lipstick! The stain is HECKA bright… but I love it. And then… I found Dry shampoo, I’ve tried a ton of brands, and can I admit my go-to one in Suave… solid price, works great.

Around the House:
Okay so last summer I needed new appliances for our kitchen. I got a new oven and I really love it! Mine is electric, not gas, but I love the way it looks, and works!! (I got mine for a screaming deal at a scratch and dent place!, but they are available elsewhere too!) I also got a new sofa for a screaming deal on Wayfair for only $409! (um right now it is only $321) It is SURPRISINGLY comfortable and just a really direct clean shape, I am happy with it for sure… I will show more about it later!

For my Kiddos:
For Christmas, my girls are getting a range of things, but two things I am excited about are these:
A Greek Block Set and a Planetarium
Oh and one extra final thing, totally random and clearly low-cost, but worth every penny! A Scalp Massager… seriously love!
