Happy almost Thanksgiving friends! I can't believe the holidays are officially here. I feel like I blinked and we went from summer to Thanksgiving. I definitely need to get a start on my Christmas shopping and with Black Friday just a few days away I've been working on a holiday gift guide I'm sharing with you! If you're like me, you don't have time to go to the stores to shop Friday so I've hunted down the deals now to make it easy.

1 // Since getting the iPhone 8 Plus, using wired headphones is a bit more difficult so these headphones are perfect. Usually $247, they're marked down to $159 on Black Friday. Hello gorgeous Golden Mist Beats.

2 // You can never go wrong with jewelry, right? These Kendra Scott earrings are going to be marked down from $65 to $32 and they come in 12 colors!

3 // I've been in the market for some new makeup brushes and I love the IT Cosmetics ones. This cute little travel set is going to be on sale for 50% off! 

4 // Every blogger out there has been rocking this cable knit chenille sweater and I can totally see why. It's super cozy looking and I love that it can be worn on or off the shoulder. At 50% off how can you pass it up? 

5 // You guys know I'm a sucker for anything mermaid so when I saw this Tarte Limited-Edition Mermaid Kisses Lipstick Set I totally fell in love. The packaging is so pretty and I love that the colors look great on every skintone. 

 6 // Attention blogger friends: the Canon Rebel T6 is going to be marked down from $749 to $449! This is the same camera a lot of big name bloggers use so you know it's good.

7 // I don't know how many times I've gone back and forth between wanting a Fitbit and not (especially since I've been using my phone lately) but this is such a great deal on the Alta HR it's almost hard to pass up!
8 // When I got my first Swell bottle a few years ago I never realized just how much I would use it. Now I have one that I keep in the office, a smaller one I take with me to theme parks and another one I use on a regular basis. This glittery one reminds me of a unicorn (or mermaid) and how gorgeous is this marble one? Both would be perfect to alternate with my palm print one. Did I mention you can get 15% off? 
9 // This super cute and cozy Free People thermal is marked down from $78 to $53 and it currently has an additional 20% off!
10 // I've been seriously digging the crushed velvet look lately and this bag is perfect. It's marked down to $131 and has an additional 25% off using code Black25! Did I mention it comes in 6 different colors too?

Happy Monday beauties! I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! Our weather was absolutely glorious here and I took every advantage I could to be outside and enjoy it. But today I'm not talking about my weekend, I'm talking about something I got to do before my weekend started. On Thursday my girl Kerri and I attended the grand opening of the brand new, gorgeous facility, Windermere Dental & Medical Spa and I just had to share our night with you.
 Kerri had been getting her eyebrows microbladed by Maegen, one of the owners of Windermere Dental & Medical Spa, for awhile (she's shared that experience on her blog so if you haven't checked it out, you need to!) so when she told Kerri she was opening a new spa and invited us to the grand opening, we knew we had to check it out. The event happened to coincide with Novie's second chemo treatment so I was extremely rushed to get ready and hesitant about going at all but I had made the commitment to go before Novie got diagnosed and to be honest, a fun girl's night out was definitely needed.

They definitely spared no expense on the decor and asthetic of the building. Every detail was obviously well thought out and despite the facility being both a dental and medical spa, the flow was seamless and everything felt very welcoming. One of the things I love is that not only do they offer a wide range of procedures at the spa but they also sell many products to take home that you can't find just any where. Living in Florida, we have to be extremely careful about taking care of our skin and when I saw that they carried one of my favorite sunscreen brands Colorescience, which is usually available online only, I knew they knew their stuff.

I have yet to participate in any of the procedures that Windermere Dental & Medical Spa offer but when and if I do decide to get anything done, I will definitely be going to Maegan and Dr. Jordan Kennedy. And I promise if and when I do that I will fully share my experience with you all! But for now, enjoy these pictures I took from the event and tell me this place isn't amazing.

Happy humpday babes! Before I get into today's post I wanted to give a little update on my pup for anyone who is wondering. His second chemo treatment is tomorrow. We should know from there whether the first chemo treatment did anything or if we might have to look at increasing the frequency of his treatments. The meds he's on for his heart condition have been giving him some stomach issues so I have an appointment with a holistic vet Friday afternoon to see about getting him on a better diet and/or seeing about other natural options for some of the meds he's on. Thank you to everyone who has continued to check in on us and I'll have a further update next week!

Our weather has been weird lately. We had a few pretty chilly days but now we've gotten warmer again so I'm taking advantage while I can. This top is one that I got back in spring but didn't get to wear it much because it got too hot out so I was excited to break it out again. I love going shopping in my own closet and finding things I haven't worn for awhile and getting to style them again. For this look I decided to dress up my favorite destroyed skinny jeans a little. I'm sure you all are getting sick of seeing these by now but I seriously live in these jeans, they are so comfy! I have them in dark denim, light denim and I recently bought them in black denim so be prepared to see these a LOT. In honor of Taylor's new cd dropping on Friday, I decided to rock the minimal makeup with a bold red lip look. Has anyone else listened to the new cd? If so, what do you think?

Happy Monday friends! If you saw last week, I had a bit of an incident that required me to get a new phone and after discussing it with my blogger bestie, Biana, I decided to upgrade and get the iPhone 8 Plus. As someone who really didn't want a larger phone, I was extremely hesitant about getting the Plus but I really wanted the upgraded camera so I sucked it up and got it. Within hours I was immediately used to the size and my little iPhone 6 felt tiny and so much more breakable. And honestly, the camera is beyond worth the upgrade. So today I'm doing a good 'ol fashioned Weekending post, sharing all the pictures I took this weekend with my iPhone 8 Plus. 

Friday was my work from home day so I decided to indulge in some Culver's for lunch because Friday is so much better with a million calories. 

After work I ran a few errands and popped in for a glass of wine to start the weekend. I also managed to finish Stranger Things 2 Friday, has any one else finished? Care to discuss? 

Saturday was for snuggles with my sweet little furbaby while watching UCF bring home it's 9th win of the season! I'm still in shock that we're doing this well this year but I'm not complaining. I'm hoping we're able to keep our coach after the season but with all the rumors swirling around, I'm not counting on it.

After football it was time for some pizza and wine before binge watching The Exorcist to get caught up. Does anyone else watch that? If so, tell me I'm not the only one that thinks this season is crazy?! SO much scarier than last season!

Sunday was spent running errands before meeting up with Kerri for an end of the weekend bevvie and some vacation planning.

Guys, how is it not Friday yet? This week was a doozy before it even started. Sunday I headed up to Jacksonville to watch the Jags take on the Bengals (my current hometown team against my original hometown team) so I was pretty excited. If you've been to an NFL game you know a few years ago they changed it so women are no longer permitted to bring purses into the stadium unless they're clear. So I opted to just bring my phone, my ID and my credit card and called it a day. I'm uber careful with my phone and it's in a case so I wasn't too worried about it, I held it in my hands the entire game so it didn't accidentally fall out of my pocket or off my lap and when I went to the bathroom I even opted to put it on the floor (super gross, I know) instead of on top of the toilet paper holder to keep it from falling off. By now I'm sure you can see where this is going... after going to the bathroom in the 4th quarter I was at the sink washing my hands with my phone resting on the sink when I got a text message and my phone vibrated right off the sink face down onto the concrete floor. I didn't even have to pick it up to know it was shattered. With everything that has been going on with Novie, I knew I was due for an upgrade (I had the iPhone 6) but was trying to hold out as long as possible, especially with the holidays literally weeks away.
Needless to say, one shattered iPhone 6 later and I am now the proud (?) owner of an iPhone 8. Thanks to all the ladies who offered advice when I was hesitant to upgrade. I seriously thought about saving money and just replacing the screen but I'm also having battery issues so it just made sense. If I had a 7 I would have never even considered upgrading but I'm like 3 phone models behind so it made sense. So yeah, after that unexpected expense I probably won't be buying too many new clothes for fall/winter so be prepared to see some outfits on repeat! And if I seem like I'm pushing my affiliate links a little harder the next few months... well that's why! But at least I'm being honest :)
Ok, enough of the negative. Can we talk about my absolute favorite tank and bralette? I wore this outfit with Kerri to the Third Eye Blind concert a few weeks ago (but with Converse instead of booties since it was rainy) and it was the perfect outfit for the weather. This tank has the perfect amount of drape to be sexy yet still not showing off too much and incredibly comfy. And as you've seen from my Instagram page, I literally live in this bralette. It is the most comfy and cute bralette I've ever owned and Kerri actually bought it herself while we were out shopping that day. I've been wearing it with everything from tanks to tees to even sweaters and it's always the perfect touch of lace. Once my spending freeze is lifted I will definitely be scooping it up in other colors!
