Hello my friends!!! We made it to another Friday, and not just ANY Friday, but really the last Friday before the holiday break?
And while I’m definitely counting down the days until I go home, my friend Susie made a really good point – rushing to get to Christmas doesn’t totally make sense since the festivities and fun really all happen BEFORE the actual holiday and then when it’s over, it’s over…SO, at the risk of sounding depressing, my message to you (and me) is to enjoy THIS moment and make the most of it?
That being said, I will be spending this weekend catching up with friends, doing holiday things and hopefully whipping up a fun winter-y recipe! Some of the ones below have seriously caught my eye. Here’s what I’ve been reading this week:

I love going to Trader Joe’s before I travel for cheap and healthy snacks to bring with me. Christmas cookie donuts sounds absolutely amazing!

TJ’s is LIFE. I love how you can put together a whole meal plate with their snacks too – a little veggies + hummus, some healthy crackers, fruit, etc. So convenient and inexpensive!!
I know! I feel like everything there is healthy even though that’s definitely not true haha.
Thanks lady! I’m literally loving ALL of these articles. You always have the best Friday lists.
Christmas cookie donuts?! YES please. And they’re healthy sooooo, I’ll have like 5.
Basically after reading all of these, I just want to go buy things, and bake things. But let’s be honest, how does life get any better than that?!
Soaking up Christmas celebrations this weekend with Ben’s family, I hope you’re having an amazing one too!
