Welcome to the final monthly recap of 2018! Here I’ll share all the things I loved, bought, watched, listened to and more during the previous month. 
Pretty Little Purchases
December was all about gifts, gifts, and more gifts since it was prime holiday time. I actually did really good not shopping for myself very much after Black Friday this year, but here are a few of my fave things that somehow did sneak in during all my gift shopping (oops!).
Fave Purchases:
These super comfy joggers. I’ve been living in them!
One of my best friends introduced me to these amazing bracelets and I wear mine every single day now.
This neck pillow was a game changer on my flights to and from Florida.
Also been living in these ruffle shorts when I’m hanging out around the apartment. (Linking to the velvet versions since my cotton ones sold out!)
Pretty Little Memories
Oh my gosh, of course December was full of so many special memories. Some faves off the top of my head would have to be seeing The Rockettes Christmas Spectacular with Craig in early December; attending Brittany Hennessy’s first Duct Tape & A Dream conference here in NYC; spending a full week (and then some) in Tampa with my family for Christmas/my mom’s birthday; celebrating New Years Eve at my best friend’s place, surrounded by great people and great vibes! The older I get, the less I want to spend NYE at a big fancy party or super crowded club. I just want to be around people that I love with good drinks, food, music and ring in the new year surrounded by love. And that’s exactly what we did this year which was so perfect.

November 2018 Recap
What I Listened to…
Wow I pretty much exclusively listened to Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas, Eminem’s Kamikaze album, and my Spotify Top Songs of 2018 playlist all month long, haha. That playlist was amazing and currently still on repeat as I type this.
What I Watched…
All the Hallmark Christmas movies. Seriously all of them lol. Craig and I also watched The Christmas Calendar on Netflix which was pretty dang cute. We also binged the last season of This Is Us, and finished it in one weekend. Ugh, I love that show. I also went to the movies with one of my girlfriends while I was in Tampa, and we saw the new J.Lo movie, Second Act. It was really cute and definitely enjoyed it!
Where We Ate…
Hothouse
We grabbed brunch here with a few friends the day before NYE and it was so good! It’s this little southern food spot in Brooklyn and you guys know I LOVE southern food. I had the hot chicken and french toast; definitely recommend. Craig ordered the fried green tomatoes and shrimp & grits and ate it all so fast that I think it’s safe to say he recommends as well!
Buffalo Wild Wings
We ate here one night to watch our rival football teams play each other on Monday Night Football. Craig is a Washington Redskins fan and of course, being from Philly, I’m an Eagles fan. It’s always fun popping by BWW for some good chicken wings, drinks and football.
