HOLIDAY GIVEAWAY! 🎄🥂❤️ This year, I was invited to contribute to the sonder/sway holiday gift edit where I shared all my favorite things for New Year’s Eve entertaining—you can view the complete gift edit and all my picks here: https://bit.ly/3G9eXrQ And to celebrate ONE MONTH until 2022 (how?!), I am partnering with sonder/sway to give away one $250 gift card to @anthropologie! Entering this giveaway is easy—go to www.sondersway.com and subscribe to their email list. Then, make sure you’re following me and tag two friends in the comments. I will announce the winner on Sunday after 7pm Eastern—happy shopping! ✨

It’s officially the Christmas season and my hall

It’s officially the Christmas season and my halls are decked! 🎄 I had such a nice week off work spending time with family + friends and not having any sort of to-do list to get through. The Sunday scaries are super real over here, but just three more business weeks before my “winter break” begins! This shot is from my first solo apartment in Arlington—who remembers the temporary wallpaper?! Seems like a lifetime ago 💙

Happy Thanksgiving! ❤️🦃 This has become one

Happy Thanksgiving! ❤️🦃 This has become one of my favorite holidays because it’s all about family—and food, of course (team sides!). Last year, we had to put our big Urban Family Thanksgiving on pause, but this year, I’m so thankful we will have a full room of 40+ cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends together again. 🥂 And besides my family, I’m so thankful for my health, a job that I love, friends I can count on, a warm apartment I can call my own, and fun times ahead to look forward to. I hope you have a great day, filled with gratitude and all your favorite carbs! x

75 out of 75 books ✅ I met my reading goal for the year last night 🎉 I started setting a reading goal on Goodreads several years ago and it’s really helped to keep me accountable—but I never want reading to feel like a chore, so I always try to set something that’s realistic for me. Since I met this goal, I am going to try to get to 85 by the end of the year. And, in case you need a great book to read over the Thanksgiving holiday this week, here are 10 of the best books I've read this year—save this post for reference!

SO thankful for a week off work to relax, read, reflect, run errands in the middle of the day, catch up with friends, spend quality time with family, and watch all the holiday movies (while drinking all the wine and eating all the leftover sides, of course!) 💓 If you’re traveling this week—safe travels! And if you’re staying local like me, enjoy! ✨
