Random Loves for December

Announcement: Christmas is seven days away. Yikes! I am far from done with shopping and don’t even get me started on wrapping the presents and then wanting to do some holiday baking. Where has the time gone? I really dislike being behind on anything- deadlines, late to appointments and meetings– being behind in Christmas shopping falls in this category too. The whole not driving thing (temporary) on top of feeling under the weather really puts a wrench into things!
 
Since I haven’t had much time to craft and the Craft Dash Highlights post is tomorrow, I thought I would take today to share my Random Loves for this month. Hope you don’t mind!
I’m obsessed with Christmas music right now. I play it at work, on my phone and light up whenever it plays in stores. I’m a sucker for pop music, so I enjoy hearing the various artists takes on the classics. However, if you play me Amy Grant, Jim Brickman or Nat King Cole Christmas songs, I will never reject them.
 
 Mug (and other beautiful goodness) can be found here
 
You may remember in last months Random Loves post, I posted a Starbucks mug I was eying. I actually never purchased it. Instead I stumbled across this mug and guys, it’s the BEST. It’s a nice big mug and the quality is fantastic. Not to mention that it’s from a local Etsy seller who is super sweet. If I could afford it, I would buy one for every single one of you- that’s how much I love mine.
 

I’m not sure how these didn’t make it into my first Random Loves post. I am OBSESSED with these pens. I have them at work, in my purse, at home…. and yes, I own every single color that has been released. They are great for journaling, writing in cards, for gift tags and everything in between. (My favorite are the black, fine tip ones)
 
pants can be found here 
 
Oh my goodness, I cannot rave about these pants enough. I love the look of leggings with longer shirts, but never found any that were thick enough to be considered pants AND slimming. A recent trip to Nordstom had me stumbling across these. They are BEYOND comfortable, they are slimming and are thick enough to wear without always wearing a tunic shirt. They’re a little pricey, but I worth it (in my opinion).
 
 
I saw this featured in a YouTube video (go ahead and laugh) and have been looking everywhere for them. I was so excited when I found them at the store– I’m fairly certain my sister thought I was crazy when I excitedly showed her what I was getting. If you like peppermint and lollipops, you will love these!
I always love seeing what others are enjoying. What are a few of YOUR favorite things at the moment? It can be drinks, shows, movies, etc….  it just might introduce me (and others) to some new things!

  1. Yikes! Only 7 days! I need to get going, too! The Sharpie pens are my favorite pens ever, too! They write so nice!

  2. Thanks for the mini heart attack by letting me know Christmas is only 7 days away, lol! ;)

    Those Tootsie pops are the bomb, aren’t they?! Love them!

    My 4 fave things at the moment:
    1. My new cell phone of course but I’m sure you knew that one already, lol.
    2. My insulated cup w/ straw
    3. St. James Winery (local here in MO) created a new wine this year…cranberry! Ohh my gosh, I LOVE this wine and I’m not a drinker normally.
    4. The pepermint soap from Bath & Body works. I buy tons every year to try to last until I can get it again next season but it never lasts, lol!

  4. These posts are FUN Paulina! And can I just second the leggings recommendation! Perfect for my post baby body and this wintery weather! :-)

  7. That mug is so fun! I will have to check it out! And maybe you’re my sharpie marker twin. LOVE those!

    My favorites are the Cranberry Bliss bar from Starbucks, anything crafty (seriously, I think about all the pretty things all. day. long.). Oh-and cool candle I bought at Bass Pro Shop-it smells divine & the wick funky in that it sounds like crackling wood! Love!
