The Weekend Guide

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.)

I don’t have a spot for it, but I love Schoolhouse’s latest addition to their lighting collection.

Buying tickets to the Immersive Van Gogh exhibit l Buying tickets to the Immersive Van Gogh exhibit last November seemed both reckless and naively hopeful. I’m so glad I went for it though, as our first fully vaccinated adventure has been the breath of fresh air we needed. (I’m also happy to report that most people are masked up walking outside, and there are plenty of social-distanced dining options in Chicago.)
Now that we’re fully vaccinated, I'm sure Dave i Now that we’re fully vaccinated, I'm sure Dave is thrilled to be an Instagram Boyfriend again when we're out for our coffee runs. ☕️ 😉 (Don’t worry, we haven’t stopped wearing our masks yet!)

I’d also like to point out that I’m embracing the middle part as not to let my Millennial show. 😉

I'm so excited for longer days and warm evenings o I'm so excited for longer days and warm evenings on the patio -- and this subscription to @winc couldn't haven't come at a better time to usher in the new season with wine in hand! 

If you're unfamiliar with Winc, the California-based winery was founded in 2012 with the belief that wine should be more accessible. So, they've introduced an online membership experience that suggests wines based on your taste preferences making it a really fun way to try wine if you’re at all intimidated by an expansive wine aisle!

Interested in trying it yourself? Use my link to get 40% off your first order and free shipping! That’s 4 bottles of wine for just $39! Learn more at winc.mivh.net/Ryyn3v

I know everyone loves wick trimmers for their cand I know everyone loves wick trimmers for their candles, but you're missing out if you don't have a taper shaver, too! It's an inexpensive gadget that can save you from forcing a candle into a holder and risking breakage — of either the holder or the candle itself. I linked to some options in today's blog post! (URL in bio.)
When we moved into our home three-and-a-half years When we moved into our home three-and-a-half years ago, Dave added an indoor security camera to our living room. I’ll be the first to admit that the option for 24/7 surveillance (which can, thankfully, be shut off automatically when you arrive home) was a little strange, but it’s absolutely worth the peace of mind that comes with a smart camera. When we’ve been away, we’ve checked in on the cat to see what he’s been up to and we’ve been able to verify that the person detected in our house was someone we lent a key to! We’ve since decided to relocate that one outdoors and were delighted to have the opportunity to partner with @ecobeehome to try out their SmartCamera as an indoor replacement. It was a natural fit as we already have – and love – an ecobee thermostat and this camera integrates seamlessly into the brand’s app. The camera has a 180-degree field of view that lets you track activity in your home, giving us a much wider view of the main floor than the other camera allowed. Privacy is still paramount as the camera uses WiFi and GPS to detect when family members are home, which shuts off the recording option. It’s also equipped with voice controls and Alexa, allowing you to connect with the technology you need for your household. And, while it’s not the most important aspect of a smart camera, the design of this one is *really* good.
