Hello, girls, and happy Friday! I’m sure I’m not the only one drowning in all of the holiday hustle, but the weekend is here and I hope to split my time being productive and relaxing. Still shopping and wrapping over here! I’m back today with a new Friday Five, so come sit down and let’s catch up!
If you’ve missed any past posts in the Friday Five series you can get caught up here.
THE FRIDAY FIVE
It’s been quite a while since I’ve written a Friday Five post so there’s probably lots to catch you up on! I finished up our Primary Bedroom for the Fall 2022 One Room Challenge and revealed it right before Thanksgiving! I finished it just in time to then transform it into a holiday retreat! No tree in there this year because I created this reading nook, but with a few Christmas touches, it feels festive and cozy!
We saw Smashing Pumpkins & Zac Brown Band + Sam Hunt right before Thanksgiving and I think I’m still recovering from two late nights! Such a fun time though! We also wrapped up Fall baseball, basketball and soccer seasons at the end of November, so it feels really great to have some of our time back to enjoy hanging out together watching Christmas movies or just being lazy around the house! We did come up with a Holiday Season Bucket List, so maybe I’ll share that soon. I’m sure Henry has it typed out in a spreadsheet, so I’ll ask him ha!
The house is fully decorated and we are loving the glow of the trees! You can see our Christmas Bedroom here, Living & Dining Room here and our Family Room here.
Now let’s get to a few more fun tidbits I’ve been wanting to share!
ONE // THE COZIEST PJ’S UNDER $20
You may have caught this striped loungewear set on IG, but I had to share it again! I’ve fallen in love with this new brand of jammies from Walmart and have now ordered 3 different pairs.
They would make great gifts or fun matching sets if you’re doing a girl’s night or a holiday getaway! I have this striped set, this leopard one, and this plaid one, too.
Here are a few others:
They are priced between $12 & 20 and are so soft and cozy. Plus they have pockets, so you know I’m sold.
TWO // SEQUIN DRESSES FOR THE HOLIDAYS
I’ve been meaning to write an entire post on sequin dresses for you girls, but if you’re looking for a fun black sequin dress this season, here are some to choose from:
I love the look of a long-sleeved or even a one-sleeve dress! I’m actually wearing this gold sequin dress tonight!
THREE // THE COOLEST WINE GADGET I’VE EVER SEEN
Ok, get ready to click add to cart! I’ve seen a variety of these electric wine aerators/pourers floating around the internet and decided to get one to try! I think this one-touch automatic wine pourer would make the greatest gift for any wine drinker on your list! I can’t believe these weren’t thought of before now!
This one is under $30!
FOUR // SAUSAGE TORTELLINI SOUP
I got the ingredients to make this soup tomorrow and can’t wait. I made it a couple times last Fall & Winter and then forgot about it until this week. It is so delicious and you can kick up the spice a bit for a zesty version. Highly recommend trying it here!
FIVE // MEN’S GIFT IDEAS
I’ve got an entire gift guide for the guys in your life almost ready to post! It will probably go out tomorrow, but here are a few ideas now in case you’re shopping today!
