This next gift guide is for the ladies in your life!
Now, please don’t think I’m pigeonholing with the phrasing… these are gifts with a feminine vibe, suited for absolutely whoever would like them! Have and love some of these things, and am gifting even more of them. But life’s about balance, and I also asked for a new cordless drill this year. 🤷🏽♀️ I love spoiling all year round, but especially at the holidays, and sharing some of my favorite feminine things.
I looove a sussy- an inexpensive little gift. These are perfect if you’re putting together a bigger gift basket, for “favorite things” parties, or stuffing stockings. These are the type of things I keep on hand in the gift stash, gift to neighbors, to tape onto a card or add to a gift card or another gift as a little upgrade. I’ve seen some stocking stuffer gift guides clearly written by people with much bigger budgets than me 🤣, and good for them! But this one is for the rest of us normal people- these items are petite on both the size spectrum and price point- small enough to stuff in a stocking, and all are around or under a $5.
All the talk is about the holiday sales, so let’s get to the nitty gritty. I’ve collected the best deals from the retailers y’all have told and shown me you love, and put it all together in one place for you! Links, as well as any necessary codes, are all below. It’s all accurate as of today (Black Friday) but I’ll be updating through the holiday season to share the best savings. As for today, I’ll also be calling out the bestseller deals, as well as what I’m buying, over on Instastories.

Now, we aren’t huggeee holiday shoppers at our house- frankly, Hanukkah’s limited on gifting and we do so further in our family- but I love a good sale, especially if its on something I’m already looking for. That’s how I shop big sales like these- with a specific list, because you didn’t save any money if you shouldn’t have bought it! Seriously though, I’m only shopping for a few things- a few updated wardrobe staples, restocking some beauty, basics for Ashe. Updates on all that, as well as anything else that catches my eye (I’m merely human y’all!) will be over on insta, like I mentioned earlier.
happy shopping, darlings!

I’m astonished about the date on this blog post. As I said over on Instagram, I’ve done a lot of things but NEVER HAVE I EVER✨ decorated for the holidays this early. We’re don’t even celebrate Christmas, so normally I decorate for Hanukkah after Thanksgiving at the beginning of December.
But it’s been a long year, and once I scored this mantel for a song on FB marketplace last week, I couldn’t help myself from wanting to bring all the cozy vibes with twinkly lights and winter whites.
I mentioned in my post about Asher’s second birthday that there would be years for little sweet birthdays and there would be years where I go all out and throw a fete. I know many people will be surprised that this year, with a viral pandemic, was a latter year. I know that sounds crazy, so I wanted to give y’all the full details on the many considerations and decisions we made to help y’all make informed choices as well.
All the play by play and the cuteness is in this YouTube video,
including some more backstory and details, but I wanted to put the broad strokes of it into a blog post for reference and searchability, as it seems we’ll be taking precautions when and if we socialize for the foreseeable future, as cases are rising again and many families are going back into quarantine.
If you’ve been following for a bit, you might remember that I have some pretty hefty dental anxiety. Aside from a handful of traumatizing incidents, I have acidic saliva, which predisposes me to decay, so I’m always worried about cavities and such, since I’m prone despite my best efforts. I am extra diligent about at-home dental care to be both preemptive and proactive, and that has certainly helped.
So much of this baby’s second year didn’t look like we’d expected. 2020 has thrown curveball after curveball to us us all, but one thing that has been certain has been the laughter and joy that this sweet baby boy has brought into our lives. Despite the craziness in the world around us, he fills our home with glee.
This post was brought to you in partnership with Johnson & Johnson®, but all thoughts are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that make LoveRavayna possible.
As parents, we are very flexible about a lot of things but one of the things I’m a stickler about is bedtime routines- I’m strict about making sure that Asher is well rested. While sleep training, we learned the importance of a consistent nighttime routine, so we’ve really tried to create one that doesn’t take all night but brings him some comfort and familiarity. Thanks to JOHNSON’S® 3-Step Bedtime® routine and JOHNSON’S® Bedtime® Collection, we’ve got it down!
Since we are still sheltering at home, and will be for the foreseeable future, we’ve been working hard on making our home space as enjoyable and functional as possible. We started this dining area project before the lockdown began, and I’m so excited to share it with you guys, finally.
All of the details are in the video above but I wanted to go ahead and put some notes and links here for reference.
