Holiday Favorites!!

Okay, so I’m super excited for this post. It probably has to do with the fact that the theme is everything Christmas!

Let’s get started, shall we?

Holiday Decorations 

Holiday decorations are EVERYTHING. If I could decorate my apartment in a different theme every year for Christmas, I totally would. Like I seriously considered talking Zach into buying a new tree, but it would have been white, so then I could go with black, silver, gray, and white decorations. Totally non-traditional and totally my style because my whole living room is black, gray, and white. BUUUUT, I decided not to because, well, I’m as broke as a joke & figured I could save my idea of wanting to decorate my place in a different theme every year for when I’m rich.

Honestly…..I didn’t go as extreme as buying a whole new tree, but I did go and buy new decorations. I JUST COULDN’T HELP MYSELF, OKAY. Hobby Lobby gets me every damn time. It’s impossible to walk in there and not walk out with something. I saw all of these holiday decorations that were “50% Off” so I’m like, they’re 50% OFF, I’m saving SO much money so it’s totally justifiable.

Last year I had red and gold decorations, but I was bored of the gold & definitely couldn’t get over the fact that the gold didn’t flow well with the theme of my living room, you know? SO, this year I went with red & white because I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE anything and everything white. Just ask Zach, he’ll tell you. Our entire apartment would be white if I had complete control, but I don’t so I have to opt for black, gray, and some white. LOL, men I’ll tell ya, they’re ridiculous. Or maybe I’m the ridiculous one?

Okay, so my decorating is pretty basic. It’s not like my entire apartment is decked out in head to toe Christmas decorations because I just don’t have that kind of room to store all of those decorations. Do I wish I could have like eight or more boxes of Christmas decorations like my grandma does? HECK YES, but I can’t so I make do with what I have. I have ornaments coming of out of everywhere! They’re all over my tree (duh), they’re used as a center piece on my coffee table & on my kitchen table. OH! & they’re also in this adorable dish thingy that’s on top of my fridge. I have an abundance of red ornaments, so I figured I’d use them as center pieces since I didn’t have anything else I could use as center pieces. I feel like it was creative. It might totally be boring for some, but it saved me money & they still look adorable as decorations even if they aren’t on the tree where they’re supposed to be. Just a little something to keep in mind for next year – ornaments are extremely versatile!

Holiday Treats

Oh my gosh, this Coconut Milk Holiday Nog is one of the most favorite things I’ve ever drank, SERIOUSLY. No, it’s not nasty Egg Nog that is too thick to swallow down, it’s completely dairy free!! The ingredients aren’t great but they’re good, it’s delicious, & it is THE PERFECT creamer for iced coffee. Just go buy it right now & thank me later. The gingerbread man cookies pair greatly when you drink the Holiday Nog plain, & they’re festive! I got the Holiday Nog at Target, btw!

Holiday Gifts

Above are two adorable gifts I was given by my boss! The reindeer pen is just way too festive & way too cute. I love it! & the pink water bottle is to die for. Like, I’m seriously so obsessed with it. Whatever drink you have, it keeps it that temperature. Nothing better than ice cold water or warm coffee, right!? Also, the light, baby pink is SO me & is SO chic.

I have “theme colors” for every aspect of my life. For example, all of my blogging planners, my journals, blogging note books, & my blogging pens are light pink with hints of gold (hence, why this water bottle is so me). My backpack & lunch bag are gray! My desk area is white with light pink, gold, and turquoise picture frames/decorations. Even the books that are on my desk are those colors, LOL. My bathroom theme is yellow and gray. My living room, as you know is gray, black, and white. I could go on and on but I’ll leave it there before you think I’m crazy, LOL.

Well, there you have it – my holiday favorites!! I hope you enjoyed reading!

I go home on Sunday (YAY!!!!), so I plan on doing a lot of posts while I’m home. Anything particular you want to see?? Let me know in the comment section below.

Talk soon!
