This afternoon… Decorating our tree 🌲

Oh gotta love the Black Friday spirit…

What did I want to buy today? In my carts on Amazon, Nordstrom Rack, Nordstrom, and Sephora I had gifts, leggings, sweaters, work pants, blouses, face creams, hair products and a $20 hairbrush.

What did I end up buying? One gift for T, two advent calendars (match box cars for R, jewelry beads for L), and three presents for L’s birthday next week.

Nothing for myself yet. Why?… Do I want a Barefoot Dreams soft hoodie? Of course. But do I want to pay $100 (Black Friday “deal”) for it? Nope.

I am still sitting on my Nordstrom Rack cart because it has leggings in it, and I think some long ponte knit leggings will be a good addition to my lounge wear. But those leggings are not discounted, they are just regular price so what’s the rush?…

Sharing with you a picture of our maple upfront that just “threw up” all of its leaves last week. It was so beautiful.

Have you bought anything today?

    Maybe the leggings will go on sale for cyber Monday? I haven’t bought anything today, and I doubt I will. I have to start thinking about gifts soon though…

    I bought nothing today (except a couple of throw pillows). I am trying SO HARD to avoid fast fashion, so all of the usual Black Friday suspects have lost their appeal.

    That tree is gorgeous! All of our leaves are gone here and it’s sooo cold. Like high of 28.

    I did not buy a single thing yesterday. We aren’t buying any big ticket items for the kids this year so I didn’t feel the pressure to shop on Black Friday. I ordered some gifts for Taco for his bday earlier this week. When is L’s bday? Taco’s is December 3. We are having his bday party next Saturday. He is so sick right now so I am taking him into urgent care when it opens and am praying we are one of the first to be seen or at least don’t have a ridiculous wait.

      Oh my gosh so sorry to hear that!!! L’s is 11/28 but her party is also next weekend on December 2. How are you doing, friend? Hope the wait was manageable. When I took R two weeks agon, we had to wait in the car- no rooms!

    That tree is just stunning! I am still travelling so no buying for me and I’m not big on shopping anyway. It’s good that you were able to got some of the things you needed though.

    OMG – just read your comment to Lisa. L and I share a birthday! That’s so fun. Birthday twins!

    I didn’t buy much during Black Friday, but I did restock some skincare items I needed from Paula’s Choice.

    I didn’t buy much on Black Friday – I feel like the deals are accessible a longer time and sometimes they’re not deals at all. You really need to keep your eyes open.

    That’s a gorgeous tree in your yard!
