December? Seriously, how did this happen? Bundle up…take good care of yourself…and feel free to share your own current obsessions in the comments.
Reading: Re-reading lots of Shirley Jackson short stories and Dickens’s A Christmas Carol.
Video: Re-watching “Wolf Hall” so I can finally read the latest Hilary Mantel novel.
Audio: Some Christmas standards, but also lots of classic glam rock.
(Tr)eats: Japanese takeout from a new place in our neighborhood.
Drinks: Real hot chocolate.
Garb: Brrr, it got cold out. In the evenings I’ve been wearing leggings and a staff logo sweatshirt that I brought home from my workplace. That’s how things have devolved around here lately. Well, I still manage to look presentable for video meetings and trips out of the house, at least…
Beauty Products: LUSH Lord of Misrule shower gel (black pepper, vanilla, patchouli).
Pleasures: The cats’ whole-hearted and reckless enjoyment of our Christmas decorations.
Plans: Take a few days off. Do some cleaning and organizing. Spend New Year’s Eve video-visiting with our usual circle of local friends; the best we can do, for now!

Great suggestion to re-watch “Wolf Hall”! I haven’t read the last volume either, yet.

Wishing for you happy days ahead. I am very excited to have comfortable lip color to wear under masks with holiday present drop offs https://www.silknaturals.com/store/index.php/makeup-accessories/lips/stain-sticks.html Mainly though, looking forward to fortifying myself with carbohydrates and lazy reading.

Oh, I love Silk Naturals but haven’t ordered from them in a while! Thanks for the reminder! Happy reading. 🙂

I’ve got Lord of Misrule in my shower too. My scented shower products are on point right now because this month I cracked open my two year old bottle of Flying Fox and my bar soap is Bruno Fazzolari Black Suede.
My wardrobe currently revolves around staying warm too. I ordered sweatpants for the the first time in many years, bought a few sweatshirts, and am otherwise staying cozy during work hours in oversized sweaters.

Isn’t LoM perfect for chilly days? Ah…Flying Fox, what a gorgeous jasmine, almost animalic (appropriately enough).
Right now I’m wearing some Uniqlo “loungewear.” Can’t beat it for a chilly night at home…which most/all nights are these days?!
Be well, S!
