10.6

Hoping everyone is ok today. It’s been an emotionally draining couple of weeks, and we could all use a hug.

Here’s what I’m into this week..

Can’t wait to try these reusable beeswax food wraps. I haven’t used plastic wrap in over a year, but sometimes I miss the ease of being able to wrap up a hunk of cheese or veggie and throw it in the fridge. In three sizes, these fit the bill! They’ll also make great Christmas gifts.

I know I say it every year, but H&M has some really great pieces that I’m dying to scoop up right now. I tried this faux fur coat on in person and it’s gorgeous. This romantic ruffled top and this sweater in the most perfect golden color are also on my list.

Ok I finally found the most perfect (for me) snakeskin booties. I returned the ones from a few posts ago (sometimes cheap price = cheap shoes), and have kept searching. These are a winner. The pointed toe is so flattering and universal and the shaft is high-but-not-too-high. And now 30% off at Macys until Monday!

My workout leggings have been gradually getting higher and higher waisted and I was having a tough time finding cute tops to go with them. This top is the perfect length, soft (and antimicrobial!) and comes in colors you actually want to wear. It’s Lulu for those of us who don’t want to wear Lulu. Also comes in these colors on sale!

As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I’ve been having some success with a low carb diet. Unfortunately, I’m now having some problems with jeans that are too big in the waist. Short of going back to carbs, I need to find a good belt! This one could be a winner as it comes in a variety of sizes- perfect for slightly too big high waisted jeans.

My mom recommended (and bought!) this book for me when she was here last week. I’m 40 pages in and I already love it! It’s about a Russian aristocrat who, after the Bolshevik revolution, is confined to a hotel as a prison sentence.

I recently devoured a new podcast, Dr. Death. A disturbing look at how protected doctors are, even when they intentionally injure their patients.
