NOVEMBER RECAP – PERSONAL

Doing something a little different this month and doing a round-up of some recent favorites along with a shorter monthly recap of highlights and struggles!

Planner: Simplified Planner Daily or Weekly Edition! (I have the Garden Party version!)
Organizational Tool: Powersheets by Cultivate What Matters (I have the Teal Linen one)
Podcast: Brands That Book & Kick It Up!
Beauty Favorite: Sugar Fresh Caramel Hydrating Lip Balm
Book: The Happiness Advantage
Song: Once in a While by Time Flies
Instagram Account: @flatlaygallery
Recipe: White Chicken Chili
Vineyard: Bluemont Vineyard (They have their vines all lit up for the holiday season which is so cute!!)
Coffee Shop: Petite Lou Lou Crepèrie in Purceville!
Holiday Product Launch: Simply Jessica Marie
Accessory: Pixel Glasses I have the Capra ones!

And this wouldn’t be a recap without some highlights from the month as usual and some behind the scenes pictures as well à la iPhone:
1. PLACING 2nd AT AKD!!!!
2. Thanksgiving & Friendsgiving, a yearly favorite tradition around here!
3. YAR weekend and some exciting news that I’ll be sharing soon!

Funny moments / struggles from the month:
1. I attempted to make pumpkin pasta and it was such a fail I could not bring myself to even let my dad try it hahaha! I did redeem myself I think with a white sauce pizza with mushroom, bacon and olives the next week though!
2. Struggling to balance business and personal life during the holidays? I feel you! It’s often tough to feel like you can get everything done with shorter weeks, a bit of a wonky schedule and still cramming in a TON of sessions and giving your clients your very best!
3. Trying to get back into my normal morning routine has not been a thing this month and I’m hoping for a fresh start with it either in December (although this might be unlikely with jet lag going to and coming back from India) or in the new year!
