Expresso Yourself

Squeezing in some christmas shopping here and there, bumping into familiar faces at the mall, sampling healthy salads at Panera, raiding craft stores, getting my Starbucks to-go and walking from one store to the next, buying ingredients for holiday desserts...I can say that my weekend was a good one. I have some exciting events planned for this week that I'm super excited about. For Thanksgiving, my family and I head up to D.C. every year for our annual family reunion. Oh boy. I'm looking forward to spending my break out of Fayetteville, so I'd consider it a good thing any day.
I've been thinking more and more as Thanksgiving draws near and this year I decided to give the meaning of Thanksgiving a little more thought. I'm thankful for a lot of things. Starting with my family and friends and for the person I am. I'm so thankful to be spending the holidays with people that I cherish and love <3.

Thessalonians 5:18 - "In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God."

Here are six things that currently make me happy:

For the sake of my brother and his hungry appetite, I bought him some snickerdoodles. Who doesn't love the fresh smell of baked cookies?

I have a thing for festive dessert plates and mugs. I don't know why but I adore them so so much. They are just the cutest accessories for your kitchen table.

I've literally been living on green tea. Best drink ever. If you knew me then you'd know...

As much as I love my oxford flats, I would seriously die for some oxford pumps.

Went to Forever 21 this weekend and saw a bunch of adorable oversize sweaters. So as of now, I want a big cozy sweater that's cute and comfy to snuggle up in.

Scarf and Gloves Combination

I love the color mustard. And the fact that these are mustard gloves make them undeniably hard to resist. Why does F21 make it so easy to be attracted to?! I can't deny that almost everything on my Christmas list has been from that one store.
