On Tuesday night time, I booked a babysitter for the boys and joined my girlfriends for our second annual Galentine’s Favorite Things dinner! All of us received collectively round Valentine’s Day final yr and exchanged small items — $10 or much less — and had a lot enjoyable that we determined to make it a little bit of a convention and do it once more this yr. We exchanged our small surprises over dinner and had the most effective time!! Final yr I wrapped up electric lighters for everybody however this yr I gave my girlfriends my favourite organic rosehip seed oil, natural peppermint lip balm and microfiber wristbands to maintain their arms and sinks dry throughout face washing! (They’re superior and I extremely advocate them!) My associates and I all appeared to appreciate the identical factor when it got here to less-than-$10 gifting: Shopping for units of issues and splitting them up made it simpler to maintain prices down! As for what I obtained, the items had been all so enjoyable and inventive! My favourite issues haul this yr included Beautycounter lip gloss, darkish chocolate, microfiber washcloths, magnetic bookmarks, Honest Beauty tinted lip balm, a present card to a neighborhood espresso store, a gel pen and cute highlighter set, Bible verse encourgament cards and a Bible Promises for Moms ebook.
(Chairs / Pedestal Table / Lamp / End-of-the-Bed Ottomans / Chunky Knit Blanket / Gray Throw / Rug <– now we have the 8×10 measurement and it was below $200! I used to be so psyched about this discover! )
These chairs! I’m in love! I truly signed as much as be on a notification alert record to get them as a result of they offered out so quick when the latest Studio McGee x Goal assortment first appeared on-line so I used to be so pumped once I lastly snagged them. (They had been just lately restocked in a bunch of colours!) We positioned them in our bed room and they’re comfy and supportive and have such a heat, inviting look to them. They give the impression of being even higher in particular person (virtually velvety!?) and I feel they’ve a gorgeously high-end search for much less. Goal is critically killing it within the dwelling décor/furnishings division these days!
A brand new coloration just lately dropped in our favourite Amazon sweatshirt and I couldn’t scoop it up quick sufficient! It’s a good looking purple-blue color however the cozy match and flattering type is all the identical! (It comes with just a little brown leather-based tag on the zipper however I simply minimize that off mine.) After I inform you I put on this sweatshirt in at the least one of many colours I personal a number of instances per week, I’m not mendacity; it’s undoubtedly my most-worn buy of fall/winter. It’s apparently a dupe for the lululemon scuba hoodie and I’m so glad so a lot of you find it irresistible, too. The brand new coloration feels just a little springy so I’m all about it as we transition into hotter climate in North Carolina.
My score: B
Years in the past I learn The Guest List by Lucy Foley and liked it so I’m unsure why it took me so lengthy to select up one other one in every of her books! I flew via the audiobook model of The Looking Get together by the identical writer at this time and suppose the audiobook model seemingly made me benefit from the ebook much more (one thing I wouldn’t normally say) as a result of the narrators had been so proficient and the voices had been so good! It was crammed with everybody’s-a-suspect intrigue and I regarded for small pockets of time all through the day once I may multitask and hearken to this one as a result of it stored me totally entertained from the very starting. (Additionally, I clearly appreciated it sufficient to search for one other ebook my Lucy Foley to dive into subsequent and simply began studying The Paris Apartment.)
The Looking Get together begins as a bunch of long-time faculty associates embark on their annual custom of a a New 12 months’s Eve getaway. The tightknit group is headed off to a secluded lodge the place they’re virtually utterly alone within the wilderness aside from two employees members and a pair of surprising company. They toast to an excellent time, snort and catch up however an undercurrent of secrecy, animosity and betrayal runs via their friendship. When one of many group members goes lacking after an evening of drunken partying, physique is found within the snowy wilderness and everybody’s a suspect.
