Random thoughts on a cold December morning:
1. We are going to a Christmas parade of lights tonight in our historic downtown. The twins are marching in the parade and I think I heard a rumor that Santa was going to be there too.
2. And Y’ALLL!!!
In super, super, super exciting news there’s an amazing stock-up sale going on with 30% off everything at Colleen Rothschild Beauty. I’ve shared a zillion times how much me, myself (and the wrinkles on my neck) adore the entire Colleen Rothschild skincare line. I’ve been using it for over a year now and it’s kind of changed my life—and for the next couple of days, IT’S 30% OFF the entire site. Also—for everyone asking questions I shared my entire daily morning/night routine at the end of the post.
You can see my entire routine here.
3. It was an amazing week on the blog. We talked about:
- these Christmas decorating ideas for the porch
- 10 handmade gifts from our family gift exchange
- 7 clever ways to use leftover wrapping paper scraps
- 7 simple last-minute Christmas decor ideas
4. Are you watching the college play-offs? Texas made the play offs and I’m so excited for all the teams.
5. This last week I went to a favorite things party. Have you been to one of those parties before? It’s so much fun and a great way to celebrate the holidays. I was thinking about writing a post about how to host a party like that if anyone is interested in learning more.
6. I’m going to start sharing more on my YouTube channel with YouTube shorts. I’d love it if you’d follow along with me.

PS Edited to add. I’ve never really shared my skincare routine before—but I’ve been getting so many questions about what I use and the order that I use it in that I thought I’d just share a tiny bit here—especially since it’s all 30% off right now. I’ll keep it to the products—but let me know if you have any questions about specific things because it’s the perfect time to stock up.
