A few things I enjoyed recently and maybe you will too.
I have decided that I am just a 4th quarter gal. Well, 3rd quarter too. Basically I come alive and absolutely thrive from June through the end of December. Give me sun and then give me twinkle lights. Just do not give me January.
November though, boy it’s easy to overlook. It basically gets treated like a bridge month, forgettable and completely swallowed up by Christmas. But isn’t she grand all on her own? I feel very cosigned on this celebration of November that I saw over on Substack. It’s all warm cozy fires, candles everywhere, and a real ode to gem colors. Thanksgiving is all of the food and family gathering without any of the stress of shopping. It’s still mulled wine season and there’s crispy leaves on the ground. It’s a treat and I intend to behave as such!
Speaking of cozy, I’ve been sharing a lot of northern Michigan in the fall over on IG if you’re interested. It’s really a vibe, I swear.
How’s your month coming along? What are you enjoying? Talk to me about your playlists and podcasts and books you’re reading, and in the meantime, I’ll tell you what’s got my attention lately.

Striped Insulated Mug // I have never really fallen for the cup trends and still use a Nalgene bottle from the early 2000s heyday. BUT these stripes are right up my alley and I’m due for an upgrade, I do believe!
Oversized Half Zip // It’s cooling down and I find myself reaching for a sweatshirt most mornings. I love the dream shade of blue on this one (and the matching joggers!)
Potted Balsam Fir // It’s not really time for a full scale Christmas tree at my house - but do you! I am, however, interested in a small vehicle to throw some twinkle lights on, and this would look perfect perched up on an end table. Starting with light doses over here!
Cozy Season Puzzle // A scene I wouldn’t mind living in, but if I cannot, I’ll at least chip away at this puzzle all month long.
Heart the Lover by Lily King // A love triangle that spans college through adulthood. I read this book in 24 hours and friends, that is not my reading style. I just couldn’t put it down!
Thankful Table Puzzle // Thanksgiving deserves a little more commotion IMO and a holiday puzzle does the trick for me.
Gingerbread Festival Tea // Just a little spicy - this tastes like the holiday season to me.
Cozy Triangle Scarf // On trend and looks so warm! I love the idea of adding this to a warm, winter white jacket all season long. Target also has some good options for a DEAL.
