Hello friends! Happy Friday! How was the week? I hope you had a great time. Ours passed quickly: we spent part of the time in Arkansas and then flew back home to Tucson.
We had a wonderful time with family and enjoyed many fun adventures.
Some highlights:
The alligator farm was a great success.
a beautiful walk,
walking and shopping in Hot Springs,
Christmas lights at Garvan Woodland Gardens,
and lunch at The Root.
(chicken salad sandwich, salad and sweet potato fries. 10/10)
What do you have to do this weekend? It’s the squad’s Christmas party and we’re going to get our Christmas tree. After being a fake tree team for so many years, we switched to the real team a few years ago and I don’t see myself going back. They smell AMAZING.
It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party! This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and from around the web. I always love hearing about your favorites too, so shout out something you like in the comments section below.

November Favorites!
It’s always fun to look back through the reviews and see which products you liked the most and that I’ve shared here on the blog. November is especially fun with gift guides (I have more next week!) and here are last month’s best sellers:

A perfect gift for your husband or partner.
Read, watch, listen:
I love this audiobook until now, especially since I like to re-watch old Friends episodes. It’s sad and comforting to hear her voice, and it was a loss this year that affected me quite a bit.
I saw Falling for Christmas on Netflix while wrapping presents, trying to get everything done early, and I have to admit… it was great.
Check out this week’s podcast episode here!
Fitness + good food:
15 festive cocktail recipes.
You have to try these crunchy almond butter truffles.

How cute are these ballerinas?
Something like the fact that Bootcut jeans are back.
