The Weekend Guide

November 13, 2015 by jessica 2 Comments

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.)

This renovation sure had its moments of frustratio This renovation sure had its moments of frustration, but I’m blissfully heading toward “renovation amnesia” as @em_henderson calls it in her new book. Head to the blog today to read about two headaches that came at the tail end of our main bathroom remodel.

I planted over 100 flower bulbs last fall and whil I planted over 100 flower bulbs last fall and while that many haven’t come up, I’m feeling exceptionally proud of the ones that did — even if my involvement was minimal.

I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bat I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bathroom and thinking how lucky we are that we were able to do this! It wasn’t always easy to navigate the stressful moments, but the end result is worth it. I feel like I’m at a luxury hotel every time I shower! (And it sure beats showering with the spiders in our [basically unfinished] basement bathroom. It was like camping in our own home for the past six weeks — and I very much hate camping!)

More photos to come!

The rest of the shower tile will be installed on Monday and then they’ll starting laying the floor tile. I can’t wait!

My NCAA bracket was busted within the first few ho My NCAA bracket was busted within the first few hours of the tournament, but there's a much more fun one to take part in: a bagel bracket with @bantambagels -- and you can win a month's supply of the winning flavor! There will be a daily matchup on their Instagram stories each Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday now through April 5. Each vote in the daily face off is a chance to be one of five grand prize winners! My vote goes to Everybody's Favorite, an everything bagel stuffed with veggie cream cheese.
