1. Purple nails
Not very holiday-esque, I know, but I’ve been really into purple nails lately. 🤷
2. Love Life on HBO
I stumbled onto this romantic comedy purely on accident, and guess what? It’s really good. 😁 It’s funny, earnest, sweet, heartbreaking — all the good stuff! I had to force myself to slow down while watching the first season, which stars Anna Kendrick, because otherwise I would never have gone to bed! It’s that good.
3. Not asking for people to give me Christmas wish lists.
I used to ask people to give me lists of what they wanted for Christmas because I always like to give gifts they actually want…but this year I’ve decided to skip that.
Ya know, I always end up hounding them for their list, which just stresses me out and puts me behind on my holiday shopping, so I’ve let it go this year. And you know what?
I’m totally cool with that. 😁
4. Edamame and rice bowl
I had this for lunch today and remembered why it’s such a great, easy meal.
It’s quick to make, filling and tastes delish. Just heat some rice and frozen edamame, and you’re done!
Wasn’t that easy?
When I need more protein, I add a sunny-side-up egg on top.

Purple nails! Cute. I completely need a manicure.
I’m on the same page with Christmas lists. A friend of mine started “reverse show and tell Christmas,” and we did it last year with her. It was great! So low pressure, social, and fun. She just pre-launched her website and describes it there: https://www.malloryblake.com/ I think she’s planning to do a kit for Hanukkah, too.
The worst is when you keep asking for a wish list, then you give up and get something yourself and two days later they finally hand you over that list…
The rice and edamame sounds good. Wonder how it would be with a little soy sauce added?
I haven’t tried it with soy sauce, but I bet that would be good!
What great looking guy and fabulous hair!
