#27: Can we listen to Christmas music now? 🎄
This week, we're finding peace in the midst of holiday chaos. Also, advent calendars, comforting winter classics, and my favorite way to try new clothes.
I have a secret: I’ve been listening to Christmas music since November 15. My brother, who is a staunch wait-until-after-Thanksgiving enthusiast, will be very disappointed in me.
In truth, I’m over the debate of when to listen to Christmas music. What I listen to during my morning routine has no weight over someone else’s life.
Like pineapple on pizza and how to pronounce the word “crayon,” we collectively give non-essential questions like these a lot of our attention. In fact, one of my red flags on Hinge is when someone mentions pineapple on pizza in their profile. Pick a more original idea, please.
To-do list:
🛁 Invest in a good sugar scrub
🧜♀️ Look up a copycat recipe for your favorite Starbucks drink
🎄 Write someone you love a holiday letter
🎀 Tie a ribbon in your hair
🛌 Read in bed

This week’s aesthetic: evergreen
The heroine recommends: Nuuly
Now that I have a workplace to visit every day, I use Nuuly to rotate trendy, seasonal pieces in and out of my wardrobe. They have a great selection of sizes (including plus and petite) from my favorite popular brands.
I even used Nuuly to get the jumpsuit I just wore to my cousin’s wedding; SO much easier than shopping around. And I love that my order comes in reusable packaging.

Take up the space you deserve.
