Gift Guides For The Women In Your Life



So, it's the day after Thanksgiving and I thought I'd get in the holiday mood -- by starting a mini blogmas series! It's a little early and a bit more relaxed this year. I'll be publishing a series of gift guides up until the 10th of December and then I'll stop the guides to resume holiday content like winter oily blends and a little reveal of the boy's holiday bakery in the playroom, some crafts, etc.

As always, I want to insert my famous disclaimer here -- some links listed are affiliate links which means I do make a small amount of commission if you purchase through them. There is never any pressure to buy anything, but when and if you do, each purchase does help support me + my sweet little family. 

If you decide that you want to try + purchase Beauty Counter skincare products from these guides, would you mind buying through my link -- click here. I recently started my partnership with them in the pursuit of using cleaner beauty products and helping others to do the same (read more about my why + the great switch by clicking here). 

ALSO, just wanted to take a moment before the festivities begin to say that I am so thankful for you, each click, and the community we've built here! Your support means everything to me and I really cannot stop gushing about how far we've come together. Without you, this blog would just be another corner of the internet, so I just want to take this moment to thank you for sticking around and engaging with my content. I really do appreciate you! 

Now, let's get to those gift guides, shall we? Day One is all about the women in our lives! Let's get gifting!

a mini devotional; lean into Him (+ bonus oily blend)


in the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider: 
God has made the one as well as the other 
ecclesiastes‬ ‭7:14‬ ‭


it’s hard not to look at the world and feel hopeless right now. things happening on scales both big and small can leave you crippled with fear if you go down the rabbit hole long enough. friendly reminder that on both good days and bad days, you are still taken care of by the Savior. He sees you, He hears your whispers, and He’s ready for you to cast those worries on Him.

as we approach election day, no matter the result, remember that He is there for you. He sees the uncertainty in your heart and He knows it all. As we cast our ballot, I am also casting my faith in the One who is in control. I hope you do too -- no matter the outcome.



oh, and before I forget, here's the oily blend I'll be diffusing on election night -- just in case you're feeling anxious and want to use some oils to help reduce the stress.
