Happy 2025, y'all! Today is the last monthly favorites post from 2024, and it's a good one!
- Gloves: I've had these gloves for a few years and they've been my favorites - they're comfortable, sleek, and it's easy to drive while wearing them. They're supposed to be touchscreen sensitive but they don't work that well for that - but I don't feel like any gloves are!
- L.L. Bean small Boat and Tote: I featured this bag in a recent favorites post, but had to mention it again because I've been using it as a handbag this month and it's the best! It has plenty of space for anything you might need and it's just too cute.
- Cracker tray: I got this cracker tray last winter, but haven't had much of a chance to use it until this holiday season. My mom and I both LOVE hosting pieces like this and she introduced me to this brand - they have a ton of gorgeous serving pieces.
- Glitterpuck: I LOVE glitter makeup, and this product intrigued me so I had to try it when it was on sale for Black Friday. It's basically a giant glitter eyeshadow that you can use anywhere - I apply it with my finger to my eyes and sometimes my cheeks. It comes in two shades, I have it in "Dopamine Sparkle." It has a unique cooling, wet feel when you apply it that I have never experienced before!
- Albanese gummy bears: I picked these up on a whim to include in a snack plate and they really are the best gummy bears. They're perfectly chewy and have a ton of flavors!
- 3-stone dome ring: You all know I adore estate jewelry, and a three-stone diamond dome ring has been my latest find! I've been in the market for a "gypsy ring" for a few years now and found the perfect one for a steal at my beloved Rocky's - it was even already in my size! It's very similar to this other estate option, and this one is the most similar new one I could find. Just another reason I love estate pieces - you'll never see the same thing twice!
- Duvet robe: I caught this on sale during Black Friday and asked for it for Christmas and it's pretty much the most cozy, luxurious robe of all time - it's like wearing this blanket which is another favorite of mine from the same brand! I know I will be loving it even more next week, I'm seeing high temperatures in the 20's on the forecast!
- Spode Christmas line: I ADORE the Spode Christmas pattern - I have the mugs, wine glasses, champagne flutes, and this tray. While all of the holiday festivities are (sadly!) over for the season, it's the perfect time to catch these seasonal pieces on sale.
- No Boundaries sweatpants: Despite being of average height (5'7"), I have such a hard time with pants being way too short on me, including sweatpants! These have been my favorites for a few months, and they're under $20! They run large, but I take my true size small for an oversized fit - you could definitely size down one for a more true fit.
- OPI "Magala Wine": This is one of my all-time favorite nail shades, especially for fall and the holidays. It's the perfect deep red!
- Star threader earrings: These earrings are delicate but make a statement - I tend to only wear them during the holidays, but I need to wear them more often! They're essentially weightless and super comfortable, come silver, gold, and rose gold, and are only $16.
- Starbucks hot coffee with cold foam: I don't visit Starbucks often, but I saw Sydney Carver recommend trying hot black coffee with cold foam and it is SO good! It's the perfect hit of creamy sweetness if you don't like super sweet drinks. I'm sure you could do this at other places that offer cold foam as well!
- Watching: The main new thing I've been watching in the last month has been the latest season of Sex Lives of College Girls on Max - it's corny but so funny and has been a comfort show for me! Kenny and I also enjoyed watching Queenpins on Netflix, which is a movie based on a true story about a coupon scam starring Kristen Bell.
This is not the last favorites post for the month - I'll be back next week with my 2024 yearly favorites post, so stay tuned for my 24 most-used favorites of the year!
