Anel and I are jetting off to Bermuda today with Amalia for a quick Thanksgiving vacation with just the three of us. Today's post was originally going to focus on what I'm feeling thankful for this year (and some early Black Friday deals) but I bet you anything you can guess what I'm thankful for and what stores I would be linking to!
When I worked in an office, I was kind of the queen of coworker holiday gifts, so when it was by far my most requested gift guide this year, I turned into the excited smiley face emoji with it's hands waving (you know the one). I don't know why this guide got me so excited, but I think it's because coworkers and bosses are often the people we spend the most time with besides our immediate family, yet they don't get appreciated nearly enough (sometimes for good reason but not always).
As a child, the holidays were always a magical time for me, full of family, food, sparkle lights, Santa, and presents. But as I grew up, and mostly when my parents split up 10 years ago, the holidays became trickier, and new emotions crept in along with the excitement. Don't get me wrong, I still love the holiday season but certain aspects of it can be overwhelming and stressful at times.
A few weeks ago, I filmed a series of videos for Stop & Shop that they’ll be using to promote some new features in their stores. I’m excited (and nervous!) to be sharing them with you today. I don’t know why being on video makes me so nervous, but I’m glad I stepped out of my comfort zone to be a part of this campaign because it was really fun and pushed me to do something new...
Before I talk about this look, I feel like I should share with you that this time of year makes me even more anxious than usual for a lot of reasons, and I'm writing a post about it that will go live tomorrow or Friday. A lot of the blog posts you're reading both here and on other sites are fluff and/or trying to sell products (guilty as charged) because that's when we, as bloggers, make a lot of our income for the year.
