Happy Monday!
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas.
MONDAY MOTIVATION
As we move towards a new year, many of us think about a "fresh start". We all have things in our past that we would like to forget or regrets of things we wish we had done or not done. This quote reminded me that we need to "move forward" - we cannot move forward unless we stop looking back.
"Effective men and women are forward thinkers. The nineteenth-century preacher F. B. Meyer wrote, “It is a mistake to be always turning back to recover the past. The law for Christian living is not backward, but forward; not for experiences that lie behind, but for doing the will of God, which is always ahead and beckoning us to follow.”"
- Taken from the book Forward

Warmest Winter Puffer Jacket Outfit + Last Minute Deals
SHOP THE LOOK
SHOP MY LOOK
Happy Monday! This week is Christmas!
This red puffer jacket is one of my favorites - and also is the warmest puffer jacket I have owned. I have had North Face and Patagonia - and this one is the best. I love the pop of red - and how it looks styled with an off-white sweater (on sale for only $23), black jeans and black hiking boots .
MONDAY INSPIRATION
This was my devotional this morning - which I thought I would share. I know many have had a difficult year - and it has definitely been a different type of year. Through it all - may we all be filled with hope.
"So this Christmas, invite Jesus to shine His light into the profound recesses of your heart. And thank God for the great, liberating gift of His radiance, which mends your deepest wounds and helps you experience His glorious freedom."

Happy Friday!
Hope you have had a great week! In case you missed it, yesterday I shared my five favorite daily beauty products. You can read the post HERE.
My encouragement for today:
I bought a new book that I am starting to read. It is all about "discovering what your purpose is" and "dreaming and visioning" what the future holds. Here is an excerpt from the book.
"This book is about the rest of your life. It’s about tomorrow. Your tomorrow—and the day after that... to encourage you to push forward, whatever your age or circumstances. Get on with your life and chase your unfolding future—and do it with focus, faith, and fervor... So don’t dread tomorrow. Leverage it for the Lord and for others."

My Five Favorite Daily Beauty Products
Happy Thursday!
It is almost Friday - and only a week away from Christmas.
This year has felt a little different since we have not been going out to eat in restaurants decorated for Christmas - and we will not be getting together for our usual Christmas gatherings - or traveling to Chicago like we some times do. However, I am reminded of the "hope of the season" - and that next year things will be different. I am enjoying this extra quiet time - and looking forward to the future.

5 Funny Gift Ideas + My Amazon Purchases

Happy Wednesday! Christmas is only two weeks away!
I bought those cognac combat boots during the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales for $64. They also come in white and black. They shipped super quick - which doesn't always happen lately. The boots are comfortable; however, I would recommend sizing up a 1/2 size. I typically wear a size 7M in boots, and I had to get a 7.5M.

FIVE SHOWS/MOVIES TO WATCH
#1 : Last Dance
This docuseries chronicles the rise of superstar Michael Jordan and the 1990s Chicago Bulls, with unaired footage from an unforgettable 1997-98 season.
This show came out in April and is free on Netflix right now. I enjoyed it - and would recommend it.
#2 : The Crown - Season 4
This drama follows the political rivalries and romance of Queen Elizabeth II's reign and the events that shaped the second half of the 20th century.
This is one of my favorite shows - and highly recommend the whole series.
A feel-good movie based on the best-selling book "The Secret" which focuses on the power of positive thinking.
This was a new release movie that came out this past spring/summer - and when it became free on Amazon, I decided to watch it. It was a good and enjoyable movie.
#4: Country Strong
A drama centered around a rising country-music songwriter who sparks with a fallen star. Together, they mount his ascent and her comeback.
A good movie - highlights the struggle of fame and personal issues. It stars some of my favorites - Gwyneth Paltrow, Tim McGraw, and Leighton Meester.
#5: Call the Midwife
This period drama set in impoverished East London follows midwives at a nursing convent.
This show has been on for nine seasons, so if you are looking for something to watch I highly recommend it. It has been a favorite of mine for years.

My $14 Puff Sleeve Sweater + Christmas Deals
SHOP MY LOOK
Happy Wednesday!
I hope you are having a great week so far. I shared the rose pink version of this puff sleeve sweater earlier in the week on Instagram. Both the off white and pink are on sale for $14.
I haven't done this in a long time - but I thought I would share an encouraging word. Our thoughts and words are very powerful - and negative thinking can have a big impact on what we achieve and do in life. A positive attitude is something we should strive for - and something that can make a big change in our life.
"Don’t let someone else’s limited thinking limit you. Negativity can be contagious; you have to pay attention if you don’t want to catch it! Even if you are the only positive person in your family, your social circles, or your work group, be the one with an optimistic attitude and outlook in every situation. Remember, negative attitudes produce negative responses while positive attitudes encourage positive responses."
