The Weekend Guide

November 12, 2016 by jessica 2 Comments

The Weekend Guide 11.12.16

REMINISCE
The White House’s official photographer, Pete Souza, has shot nearly two million photos of President Obama. Here are 55 images that capture the personality of our 44th president.

ESCAPE
We’ve had unseasonably warm weather in Wisconsin over the last few weeks, but the undeniable winter chill is starting to creep in. Since a tropical getaway isn’t in the cards right now, I’ll take in the island vibes with this cocktail.

WEAR
You may have seen photos tagged #Safetypin circulating on Instagram lately. Here’s what it means. And, if you’d like to show your support, may I suggest this chic option?

SHOP
Sephora’s VIB members enjoy 20% off this weekend with code 20VIB. I used it as an opportunity to stock up on favorites I’ll use throughout the year: three tubes of my favorite lipstick, face wash, charcoal mask, eye liner, face lotion, foundation, and lash primer.

EMBRACE
I’ve always hated doing things on my own. This essay is an inspiring piece on why we should break that stigma and overcome the fear of being by ourselves.

MAKE
Save some of that oven room for the turkey and sides this Thanksgiving and make no-bake pumpkin pie bars for dessert.

EARLIER THIS WEEK
Wore my favorite dress of the season.
Urged you to vote … and then was saddened by the outcome.
Shared the one item your wardrobe needs for fall and winter.
Splurged on a mint winter coat. (Snag it in a variety of colors here.)

The Weekend Guide 11.13.15

ORDER
Cards Against Humanity’s holiday promotion is a far cry from last year’s bullshit stunt. Order “Eight Sensible Gifts For Hanukkah” now.

BUY
Now through Monday, you can save 20% on your order at Sephora if you’re one of their VIB members. It’s a great time to stock up on skincare items (I swear by this), your go-to lipstick (mine), and gifts for the beauty buffs on your list (love this). Use code VIB20. I placed a larger order a couple of weeks ago before knowing of the sale. I’ll share reviews of those items later today.

BAKE
How cute are these mini pecan tarts?! I have to bring an appetizer to a family gathering in a couple of weeks. Would it be wrong to bring dessert as a starter?

SIP
My office has year-round half-day Fridays, which basically means my 40 hours are in by the time 12:45 p.m. rolls around. I’d like to start greeting Dave with a cocktail when he comes home from work in the evening with “Cocktail Fridays.” (How ’50s housewife of me, right?) It’s basically an excuse to try all of the amazing drink recipes I come across on Pinterest like this coconut pineapple concoction! (It also gives me more of a reason to push for a bar cart in 2016.)

LISTEN
Alanis Morissette updated the lyrics to her not-so-ironic hit.

ENTER
Have you entered to win a custom sterling silver map necklace by A.Jaffe yet? No? Here’s the link.

FIVE UNDER $55

EARLIER THIS WEEK
I chatted with Julie Vos about the inspiration behind her latest collection.
Two gift guides are up! Browse ideas for the jewelry obsessed and the frequent flyer.
I’m giving you a chance to win a personalized map necklace.
A local antique store was in the holiday spirit.
I looked forward to an evening cocktail.
I borrowed amazingly glam Miu Miu sunglasses. (Details on how to try them yourself in the caption.)

Over the weekend, we drove to Michigan and welcome Over the weekend, we drove to Michigan and welcomed this little lady to the family! She’s a two-year old snow Bengal that was surrendered after being bullied by the other cats in her home. We’re pretty sure she’s a seal lynx point Bengal, which has Siamese in the lineage, based on her vibrant, slightly crossed blue eyes. She is the sweetest, softest, most playful, and unbelievably talkative little girl. We’re crazy about her! 

We haven’t picked a name just yet, though. We have some ideas, but we’re waiting to get to know her personality more. 😊

Merry Christmas! My own Christmas tree isn’t a Merry Christmas! 

My own Christmas tree isn’t as tinsel’d as this one from the Christmas museum in Salzburg nor does it rotate. Consider these goals for next year.

I made @csaffitz’s raspberry almond thumbprint c I made @csaffitz’s raspberry almond thumbprint cookies and they’re delicious, but a lot of work and they don’t hold up well. If you’re planning on them this year, don’t add the jam dollop until just before you’re ready to serve them. The moisture gets sucked in overnight. Still good, of course, just softer than the first day.
