December Favorites

I rang in the New Year with a terrible cold.  I'm still not quite sure if what I had qualified as the flu, but it sure was miserable.  The rest of the December had been mild; mild weather, mild happenings, nothing too crazy.  As I wrapped up the first semester of teaching, I couldn't believe that time had passed so quickly.  I felt busy, as usual, but thankful to see another year fly by without any large incidents.  May the new year be just as wonderful for all.

Dr. Teal's Body and Bath Oil in Lavender | After a shower, this has helped ward off dry skin.  The soothing scent has allowed me to fall to sleep quicker (I think).  Even if it's tricking me into thinking that I'm not as exhausted as I feel, I don't mind.

Mucinex | Because when I was sick, this is the only thing that could help. Medicine-wise.

Soup | All I craved this December was soup.  It wasn't the fact that the weather has turned slightly cold, but the comfort of warm flavors and a filling meal had me turning to soup more than once.

J. Crew Sweater | When I went home, a trip the outlets was necessary.  Thank goodness for soft, warm, gray sweaters that pair well with anything. And that are on sale.

Urban Decay Lipstick in "Fiend" | Sometimes, the one thing you need in order to feel put together is a rosy-colored lipstick.  I found one that doesn't dry out my lips, goes on smoothly, and is the perfect color for me.
