gift guide: house and home

I really, truly love gift giving, despite my stance on limiting it. When I struggle with the perfect gift, it tends to be for those who seem to have everything, or people I don’t know intimately. And in both of these cases, I find myself deferring to gifts of edibles, family favorites, or decorative bits, so I’m sharing a house and home gift guide with y’all today!

I feel strongly about a stylish and serviceable apron- Hedley and Bennett are our family’s fave (I danced Ashe out at the apron factory), and this floral apron is so pretty too! I love giving a bit of spice as a gift- hot honey and Barron’s West Indian hot sauce are staples in our house, so they are ones I give over and over. Other tried-and-true faves that would make such good gifts are this bamboo and straw cup (so many of you have already bought one and love it too!), a salt lamp, the coziest chenille pompom blanket, and these stacked personalized books. We have two sets, and I love the family version but really love the custom hanukkah one even more

gift guide: feminine picks

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.

gift guide: $5 stocking stuffers and sussies

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.

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!

Friday Favorites

Launching a new series here and on instastories!

I’m often discussing my latest obsessions with my dm besties, but I realized I wanted to share the goodness with all of y’all. So I’ll update this post weekly with details on something I’m loving, how and why I’m using it.

11.29.19

Kicking off with a product from skincare fave Algenist, their Genius ultimate anti-aging bi-phase peel.

I’ve been using it like 2x a week for the last several months, when my skin’s feeling dull or congested. I just shake so that the peel layer combines with the moisturizing layer (microalgae come through!) and the liquid becomes opaque. I apply a thin layer to clean skin with a cotton pad or more often, clean fingers. It gently but powerfully exfoliates, so there’s no redness or recovery time. With use, it improves skin texture, brightens, and enhances radiance for a fresh glow. It’s a Sephora exclusive, normally- linked here.

holiday greens

When it comes to holiday attire, I tend to shy away from the typical. Perhaps it’s that our family doesn’t celebrate Christmas, but the red and white that is everywhere this time of year doesn’t really ring my bells. For me, holiday fancies hinge on luxurious textures and festive textiles, and I lean towards blue, green, and metallics.
