Stitch Fix December 2020

December 8, 2020      Leave a Comment

This was a fun Stitch Fix to unbox! Look at all those lovely fall colors. For this one, I'd asked for some stable business casual workwear pieces, and my stylist delivered! First up was this rather disappointing top. It's fine. There's nothing wrong with it, really. (And ignore the ...

Stitch Fix Review |October 2020

I scheduled a Stitch Fix box for this month, as I look forward to the eventuality of cooler weather! I kept seeing a pretty sleeveless blouse in my Shop, and requested it specially, but unfortunately didn't receive it. I'm wondering if the Stitch Fix Stylists have a different "pool" of clothing to ...

Hello, friends! I'm must admit I'm glad to see the end of another week. It's been such a strange time in my life. My husband and I just moved to Arizona, and on top of moving stress, there's such a feeling of unsettled-ness that comes with moving across the country. Nothing is the same, you're ...

Last night we went out for dinner. It was one of those perfect evenings, the kind every romance novel talks about and you see so rarely in real life - unless you live in Colorado, and then you see them every summer evening. (We live in Colorado, by the way.) The neighborhood we live in is ...

Happy November! I can’t believe this year is nearly over. Only a few weekends left until Christmas! I have significantly less people to shop for this year, so hopefully that will go far towards making it The Most Wonderful Time of the Year instead of The Most Stressful Time of the Year. ;) Have ...

Sometimes life feels like a desert.... ? Honestly Sometimes life feels like a desert.... ? Honestly surprised I don’t take more pictures of cactooses. 🌵
Valentine’s Day is for the birds and all...but h Valentine’s Day is for the birds and all...but he’s my forever valentine. 😍Here’s a gratuitous picture of us on our honeymoon...THREE AND A HALF YEARS ago.

It’s funny, I recently ran across a very old journal entry from maybe a decade ago. I was going through this stage where I was coming to grips with the fact that I wasn’t going to be married in my early twenties like I’d always thought. And I’d just had the startling realization that maybe there wasn’t something wrong with ME — maybe HE just wasn’t ready. Doing the math, it turns out my future husband was married to someone else at the time. 😆😳 I’m not sure if that’s inspirational or just plain weird and/or maybe a little bit creepy, but there ya go. 💁🏼‍♀️ I got a good laugh out of it, at least. And I wouldn’t trade a single gosh-darn thing. All those years wondering what was wrong with me were totally worth it when I look at DJ and my life with him now.

Ah, life. Que sera sera. I’m so grateful. He is utterly perfect for me.

(And just for the record? There’s nothing wrong with you.)

In November of 2019 I invested $7.96 in stocks on In November of 2019 I invested $7.96 in stocks on Robinhood. It promptly started losing value, and after a few weeks I forgot about it. This morning I randomly decided to check my account and see if there was any spare change lingering.

My stock was up to over $200! 😱😱 like whaaaat. I’m blown away. (Do I leave it and see what happens or do I take it out while my earnings are still 2,301% ahead?!)

In other news that’s a freshly-picked Arizona orange right there and it’s the best orange I’ve ever eaten.

Sunday Six! Here are a few things I’ve enjoyed t Sunday Six! Here are a few things I’ve enjoyed this past week. :) 

1. Ella Minnie Pea. This book is clever and adorable. I feel like CS Lewis and George MacDonald would approve of this fairytale. I’m only a little way in so I can’t give a full review, but...look it up. 😄

2. HUM melatonin. Not sure what it is about this brand, but it’s the only one that seems to work for me. 

3. REPLICA Bubble Bath. A work-friendly perfume that starts out fresh and clean and ends up warm and lovely. 

4. This rose gold bracelet! @camelotprincess87 sent it to me and I’ve been wearing it ever since. It’s classic and beautiful and goes with everything! 

5. Shower steamers from @theherbalzen! I bought these as a stocking stuffer for DJ but guess who’s been loving them?! THIS GIRL. They turn your morning shower into a spa experience. 🧖🏼‍♀️ 

6. Stress Relief tea. Who doesn’t need this these days?! Haha. I’ve been chugging this. Does it work? I’m not sure. But I’ll keep drinking it. Worst case it tastes good and helps me stay hydrated.

My Colorado brain took this VERY seriously. So I bundled. Not pictured: the hat, scarf, and gloves I added on my way out. 

It was 62°. 😆

Still. I’d rather be too warm than too cold. Christmas Under the Stars was lovely, and we sang all my favorite Christmas hymns. 🌟
