Time Magazine - I know you’re dying to know….what’s on Prince George’s wishlist for Santa this year (or as the Brits refer to him, “Father Christmas”)? Binoculars and an electric car! Click to read more:)
Newsweek - The most annoying travel trends of the last decade. The one that stands out to me the most is the rise of the influencer. I recently read an article about the impact of social media on the US National Parks. The correlation blew me away but it makes sense - for many influencers (especially the travel ones) its all about getting that shot and influencing your following to want to do the same. Which for National Parks, monuments, and other destinations, means an influx of people, and sometimes tragedy. What will this mean for the next decade?
goop - Did you know that depression is linked to heart disease? Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both Men and Women - more than all cancers combined according to this article. Read to find out which risk factors might apply to you.
Harper’s Bazaar - the 10 best movies of 2019. Ummm is it bad that I haven’t seen any of these yet? I guess I’ve been living under a rock. would love to know which one of these films you’ve seen and loved (or didn’t love)!

what
coffee table book - Looking for a last minute gift for her? I LOVE receiving coffee table books as gifts. It is something that I can always use more of but rarely purchase for myself. Tip: make it special by personalizing the inside cover with a little note and the date. I love this new one from Kate Moss and this one from Jenni Kayne never gets old.
recipe - My favorite winter salad recipe. If you’ve been assigned the job of salad this year here is a recipe your host will love! You can easily sub for a different type of cheese or none at all. Tip: Bring the lettuce washed and dried in a covered bowl. Add a piece of paper towel to it to keep the lettuce crisp. Assemble directly before serving beginning with lightly tossing the leaves with about 1/3 of the dressing to taste.
ski sweater - Ski season is almost here! Love this alpaca half zip style for a classic look on and off the slopes. Both styles are under $100 but the gray just went on sale for 50% off.
it bag - Polene. I was first introduced to this brand two summer’s ago in Belgium. I fell in love with their classic style, the number one, but like all big purchases, I had to think about it:) This one wasn’t a big purchase because of the price but rather the fact that I haven’t bought a new handbag in 3 years (I seriously can’t believe that - not counting summer bags) so now the pressure is on haha. Kidding, not kidding. So now I’m patiently awaiting this mini style in black or chalk.
paint - Better Homes & Gardens just some of the top paint colors of 2020 so far. it looks like pink is set to be a popular shade to kick off the next decade! You can see all the colors we used in our house in this post.
face balm - Chapped lips and rosy cheeks have been plaguing our house since November. I finally found something that works, is easy to use, and won’t break the bank. This balm is amazing! Tip: order two! If you have kids you will need one sick stick and one well! Use code holiday20 for 20% off your purchase:)
