Friday Favorites + Black Friday Giveaway!
How is it Black Friday already?! I used to love this day because I worked retail and honestly had a TON of fun! I now love it because I’m snuggled up at home and can casually shop online if I want to. 🙂

What’s a girl to do when her curiosity is running wild and she just wants to give what everyone is raving about a try? Give in. Sometimes it’s A-OK to do just that. 🙂 A few months ago I gradually started using essential oils. Since I wasn’t sure about which oils I would use the most, and knew I wanted to try diffusing some of them, I splurged and bought the starter kit. However, when I realized the value of the kit, it definitely wasn’t a splurge. It was a steal! I received 11 oils, a diffuser, samples, magazine and a free oil from that month in the starter kit! The price of about three oils and the diffuser is the entire price of the kit. Today through Sunday I’m offering a $15 credit on any order of Essential Oils when you buy a starter kit from me!  Send me an e-mail (stephster08@gmail.com) or direct message me on Instagram and I’ll send you the link directly. Plus you get a Christmas Spirit oil for free because I love my readers. 🙂

Yesterday at Thanksgiving my cousin was speaking so highly about this concealer stick! I plan on picking one up today and trying it to cover up a few blemishes. Has anyone tried it? I love, love, love reading your opinions!

My Peppermint Bark!

After Thanksgiving dinner, we all sat around the table and played the game, Huggermugger. I’ve never heard of it before but my cousin was gifted it years ago and thought it would be fun to play! Let me tell you…we had A BLAST! Plus, it would be a great Christmas gift!
Five.
It is sale overload out there! The one that caught my eye and I couldn’t help but share was Williams Sonoma! I love a good sale and they went BIG with theirs! I have talked about my love for their store and how we own a lot of their kitchen products. I absolutely love them and think you should gift someone or yourself to their sale. Use code: THANKS for 20% + free shipping!
I hope you had the best and most relaxing Thanksgiving with the ones you love!
I’m linking up with Erika, Narci, Andrea, Tif, April, and Karli!
I’m late to the What’s Up Wednesday party but better late than never. Right?! 😉

I’ve also been sipping on 
Italy! Eric and I are about to book our flights and so many memories are coming back from this trip! Italy is one of my favorite countries and I am thrilled to be going back! 
This has been on non-stop. 🙂 
The extent of my reading lately has been cookbooks!
My sister-in-law is so generous and has let us borrow her camera for a few months. I’m looking at investing in either a Nikon or Canon. Thoughts?! If there’s something I definitely want this Christmas, it’s this. 😉
My list of things that need replenished or I’d love to try: 
I need some holidays reading recommendations! It made me so sad when I didn’t have any books come to my mind that I have been eager to read. Meanwhile, I compiled a list of some of my favorites that would make fun Christmas gifts to give to others!
I’ve talked all about my love for Jessica N Designs a ton! Well today, they are launching their Fireside Collection and I am in love with it! You can flip through the collection,
