Life Lately #4

I procrastinated super hard on this post so here it is, only like 5 days after I would normally would've had this published but oh well. I decided to combine the week of December 8th through 14th with week of December 15th through 21st because honestly week of the 8th was super boring until I went home and there wasn't really much to recap on!

Life Updates // Y'all I am freaking tired. It's hard working two jobs, especially during the holiday season, but ya girl is trying to stay alive. I usually like being busy and having things to do but right now, I just want a five hour nap and a really great foot massage.

Happy Moment // Spenser and I traveled back to my hometown the weekend of the 13th for an early Christmas with my family and it was so nice being home! My extended family had our annual Christmas party on Saturday and then we went to Macy's in downtown Chicago on that Sunday to shop and eat at the Walnut Room. I always fly home for Macy's because it's my favorite family tradition that we've been doing for such a long time! On the way back to Orlando, Spenser and I also got bumped up to first class and I see why people pay the big $$$ for it now. It was the best flight experience I've ever had.

Sad Moment // Being away from my family is really hard during the holidays. Also it doesn't even feel like the holidays here in Florida probably because it's like 70 degrees and sunny most days. 

What I'm Loving // These Sam Edelman loafers are seriously so comfy and cute! I have the hardest time breaking in flats of any sort but I haven't had a single issue with these. After I bought the saddle color in stores, I ordered them in black online!


Beauty Product I'm Obsessed With // I was using the Colourpop eyebrow pencil but when I was home, it broke. So I went to CVS and picked up the Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim Eyebrow Pencil and wow omg y'all it's amazing! I actually prefer it to my Colourpop eyebrow pencil. It applies so easily and the blonde color is a perfect match!

Meal Prep // With the holidays, we haven't had much time to meal prep but we will for sure get back on it during the new year!


Weekly Gratitude // I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to go home the weekend of the 13th. Living 1,000+ miles away from your family is freakin' tough y'all. But those moments of being home are what make my heart super happy.
