Links I Love Week 49
Last Sunday, my husband and I ran some errands, including a trip to Framebridge. I wanted to frame some pieces of my own art, along with some pieces I bought from Sonja. We didn’t know it, but the store was doing visits with Santa. While I was working on selecting the perfect frame, Henri was meeting Santa for the first time. How cute! Plus, my husband is such a good dog dad for doing this.

Our bedroom is coming together, and we collectively decided, along with my friend Abby, that it would be best to bring in a wood desk to replace my current white desk. My husband found a desk on Facebook Marketplace that we all agreed was a winner. Fingers crossed, we pick it up this Sunday! It is bittersweet to say goodbye to my white desk, where so many blog posts were written, along with sending in the first draft of the book and much more. I get sentimental about everything. We will make sure the desk finds another great home.

The Best Black Friday/Cyber Monday Sales: What I Bought

Outfit details: Bag | Shoes | Pants | Sweater
This is what I have bought so far.
I supported one of my favorite brands of the year, Evolve Together, and picked up more hand soap for our guest bathroom. I have been wanting to try their hand creams. They make the deodorant I have been raving about all year.
AYR has been another discovery this year. I have loved the High Hopes pants and decided to try another pair from the brand. Plus, these shirts have been in my cart. I ordered a few in size medium, in different colors.
I have been eyeing Stakt for a while now, and we keep adding to our home gym area. This mat and weight set is on my holiday wish list.
This Theragun mini has been on my list. We bought one last year, but someone in the house took it. I ordered one for myself for after workouts.
My dad always loves his Kiehl’s shaving products. He swears by this shave cream scrub and scrub bar. If you know my dad, his skin is just the softest, and he shaves daily. People always think he is younger than he is.
For my nephew, he needed new LAKE pajamas (on sale), which they call Auntie Jammies. Since he is growing and wears them on repeat. My nephew insisted on this Jelly Cat and wanted me to get one for Henri.
