Links I Love Week 48: Year 2025
Links I Love Week 48
It has been another full week between personal and work life. I had a few events this week after work, and I was able to catch up with friends, unplug, and belly laugh until I cried. November is filled with birthdays in our family, including Henri’s, which happened this week. He celebrated his 5th birthday. It is going way too fast!
Our bedroom is finally coming together. We started with this Helix mattress that the brand kindly gifted. My husband and I invested in a new bed and nightstands. The bed arrived last week, and the nightstands arrived on Monday. My friend Abby, who is an interior designer, has been guiding us with ideas. She is fabulous, and now we have a whole additional list of projects for 2026. I love having a space evolve and mixing old and new.
Side Note: Before We Jump Into Things
The internet is on sale; we will get to that in a moment. But let’s all calm down and take a deep breath. I will highlight my favorite sales and what I think is worth buying from select retailers in an upcoming post. If you do not have the funds or are saving for something big, do not feel bad about opting out.
When it comes to gifts, I am an acts-of-service girl and love baking for friends and family during the holidays.
Grab your coffee and croissants, and join me for this week’s links I love.
We started watching The Beast in Me over the weekend. It started slow, but now I am hooked! What do you think, did he do it?
How Gen Z made Pinterest feel new again
Merit Beauty only has one sale a year, and it is coming up. The brand gave EDP early access to shop. Use the code EARLYSALE for 20% off. My favorite is the complexion stick. I use Bisque (for just about every shoot). I highly recommend the blending brush. Plus, I typically have one of their lip shades rolling around in my purse.

I was recently gifted bedding from Bed Threads, and I am in love! They have an online color quiz, and I landed on green. It felt very out of my comfort zone, but now I am loving it with our blue walls. They are running 20% off right now if you want to try their linen bedding. Highly recommend! Henri loves it too.

Margaux started its sale early and is offering 20% off. I love their flats and these water-resistant suede boots. ( I sized up .5 size on the boots for thicker socks; they start tight and loosen over time.) Sizes and styles are expected to sell out quickly.

Thanksgiving is coming up this week. If you are sober, sober curious, or just not drinking for whatever reason, I really like Ghia, and I have mentioned them a few times this year. We keep our fridge stocked with them. They reached out with a code REBECCA25 that gets you 25% off. I ordered a pack to my sister’s house so I could have them and anyone else can try them. Ginger and the Chili Sumac is my favorite. (spicy!)
