IT’S DECEMBER! IT’S CHRISTMAS TIME. I mean when this biweekly need-to-know focuses more on the end of November, but I just want you to know how happy I am that it’s now Christmas time. But here’s my two-week recap and everything I think you need to know.

My intention with this gift guide is that you would give any one of these things to a friend who just moved out, but already has all the essentials to live on their own. After all, you wouldn’t want to give a friend some Lemon Pledge, a shelf or Clorox, and call that a present, right? Even if they need that, be a better friend this season. This gift guide is either a hit or a miss because I have yet to move out from my parents house. But lately I have been day-dreaming about having my own apartment. That’s not good considering I am not moving out any time soon. But anyway, a bunch of my friends have recently moved out, so I think this gift guide is super fun! Hope you like it!

Who else is SUPER excited that it’s officially Christmas season? I have secretly been celebrating Christmas since the middle of November by now I can openly listen to Christmas music and watch 25 Days of Christmas with no shame! I know this month is going to fly by, but that won’t stop me from making a super long list of some holiday festivities. So here is my list of events I want to to go to and things I want to do before the new year:

Am I the only person who didn’t know how much people hate The Polar Express? I don’t know if this has always been the case or if it’s a new general hatred, but so many of my friends have gone out of their way to tell me how much they hate this movie. How funny is that?! I really don’t mind the movie to be honest. It’s not my favorite but I do have a fond memory of watching it back in like 2004 at my Oma and Opa’s house on an air mattress with my brothers at like 10pm on Christmas. So maybe that is why it gives me happy thoughts! Regardless of how you feel about the Polar Express, I took these pictures in front of the B&O Railroad museum in Old Ellicott City on a very rainy day and I love how they turned out. Click the ‘read more’ button for more pictures, similar dresses and of course a super cringe story of when I wore this on Thanksgiving.

Is it me, or is it SUPER difficult to buy gifts for someone you know extremely well? That seems like a such a strange concept because you know them better than anyone, but I always end up feeling an insane amount of pressure for gifts for someone I know really well. So the background behind this gift guide is that I was thinking of gifts that would make my friends smile or laugh. I think there are a lot of small ways you can personalize gifts, so that is also a theme in this gift guide!

Now that Thanksgiving has passed, I think we can all agree it is now time to break out the holiday sweaters and red tartan. If I could wear the outfit I am in the above picture all month, I would. I got this shirt from Old Navy last year and just bought this vest from J.Crew a week months ago. I love festive wear and there are so many great options out there right now, most of them still on sale from all the Black Friday sales! Scroll down for similar options like what I’m wearing and my top picks for festive holiday clothes.

I’m so excited to share this gift guide! I feel like it’s very overarching and you can find gifts for anyone on your list in this guide. Not to mention, I think it’s so important to give back to the community and important causes especially during the holidays. Honestly I found so many great items while researching for this gift guide, that I could probably double this list. Everything in this guide is something that I think would make a great gift to someone, but also gives back to some worthy charities.

I gotta be honest, I’m no beauty guru…but I do love getting new make-up for the holidays. This is basically a list of items I have either tried, found at Ulta that look good, or were recommended by a friend. I think anyone who loves experimenting with make-up would love any of these for holidays. But a lot of these products are also great for during the month of December and there are so many sales happening this weekend. So go check out my top picks!

One of my favorite new Thanksgiving traditions has become drinking mimosas in the morning with my mom and Oma (that’s right, my 90 year old Oma loves a good mimosa!). Of course this is normally after my brothers and I run a 5K because we’re that family now. And then I like to eat cinnamon rolls and watch the Macy’s Day Parade. But no matter how you spend you Thanksgiving morning, I think this festive Thanksgiving mimosa will make your morning more fun.
