His New Favorite Timepiece

JORD watches JORD watches JORD watches JORD watches JORD watches JORD watches The very first Christmas Eric and I were together, we had only been official for a month. One month. What’s a girl to get a guy that she adored beyond her wildest dreams for Christmas? I searched high and low and time was ticking before the 25th. Considering he mentioned wanting a new watch and thinking he would look ridiculously good wearing one, I took the plunge and bought him one. His eyes lit as he slowly unwrapped it, realizing what was inside. It became his favorite and something he has worn consistently for the last four years.

Fast forward to this Christmas and it feels like the perfect time to add a new and unique timepiece for his wrist. I picked out this men’s watch from JORD wood watches for Eric. It’s classic with a modern and sophisticated design that I knew he would love! The wood is from all around the world and creates the ideal present to sneak into his stocking for the holidays.

To the guy who works harder than anyone I know, consistently puts others before himself, and won my heart with his breakfast-making skills; here’s a small thank you for you this Christmas. I wouldn’t be who I am today without you and cherish every minute we spend together. JORD watches

Wow. We made it to Friday. This week was jam-packed and exhausting. BUT I’m getting together with my best friends tonight and Christmas is so close. Life is good. Tea Towels/ Bundt Cake Pan/ Nars Lips/ Dolce and Gabana Perfume/ OPI Nail Polish/ Sunglasses/ Earrings/ Boots/ F.A.B.

Today I decided to compile an assortment of my favorites for you in one post. It’s a Holiday shopping guide if you will?! Instead of the traditional five or so things listed, I created a pile of goodies that will be fun to treat yourself or a friend. Of course you could always send a few last minute subtle hints to someone about the lovies above. 😉

I couldn’t resist adding these to the list. This weekend is calling for snow and double chocolate peppermint cookies should be on your to-do list. 😉

Deserted Island + Christmas Movies

Christmas movies have been playing non-stop since before Thanksgiving even rolled around this year. I have no shame about it. Not one bit. 🙂 It puts me in the best mood and makes our home feel extra cozy. I love sipping some hot chocolate throughout this season with my feet propped and snuggled in a warm blanket. It’s pure bliss and these classics make the year extra merry and fun! If I were stranded on an island, these would be in tow for some extra Christmas spirit!

The winner of the Lily and Val placemats is here!

There are still two giveaways left to enter!

Double Chocolate Peppermint Cookies + Winner!

,

The holidays are surrounded by food and the memories being made while creating it. If you have not done so yet, add cookie baking to your list before the 25th rolls around! Put on some Christmas tunes, sip some hot coffee, and whip up this batch of cookies. The chocolate infused with peppermint is the perfect balance of lightening up the richness of the double chocolate. Not that double chocolate anything is ever a bad thing. 😉

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup Stonyfield plain greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup butter (melted)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 10 drops peppermint essential oil (or more)
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 and 1/3 cups 100% cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 and 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips

What to do:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all wet ingredients and mix. Fold in the dry ingredients and then lightly mix. I used my Levoons measuring spoons for all my dry ingredients to make measuring so much easier. It scraps off all the excess while measuring and I loved it! Form the dough into one inch balls and lightly flatten. I like to use this scoop. It works like a charm!  After my batter was prepped and the oven was heated, I scooped my goodies onto my Silapt mat. This was the first time I used it and absolutely loved it! The mat can be put right on a baking sheet and put in the oven. I didn’t have the grease the baking sheet at all and the clean up was ten times easier! Bake for about 12 minutes. Pull out of oven and let cool for about 10 minutes.

Each day this week I will be announcing the winners from last week’s giveaway week! You can see if you won the blanket scarf from last week’s start of the giveaway week, here! Thank you to everyone who entered and to Blooms and Linen for the beautiful scarf! Also, there’s still time to enter the other giveaways below!

Christmas Giveaway 2016: Day Five + Friday Favorites

,

Friday Favorites 01One.

Mrs. Claus Tunic

Some of my best friends throw an annual, “Ugly Sweater Christmas Party.” The last few years Eric and I have worn family member’s sweaters that weren’t exactly the most attractive. 😉  Last year our small group had the same themed party. So this year we decided to up our game a little since there are still both, “Ugly Sweater Parties” planned. Plus, it’s always fun to wear something festive to school the week of Christmas. I bought the sweater above and LOVE it! It’s extremely comfortable and longer! This will be so nice to wear with leggings or jeans. I ordered a small, (which is the size I normally wear) and it fits great! I linked a bunch of my favorites below. Be sure to scroll over and tell me which one is your favorite!

Aren’t they adorable?! I mean, ugly. 😉

Two.Eric looks awesome in this sweater! I love it and so does he! The men’s selection is definitely not lacking.
