Another month, another year… let’s wrap up 2017 with a Currently post!
CURRENT FLIGHT PATTERNS
You guys, I think I hit a record this month with all my travel. I had 12 flights this month… and one week, I had eight legs alone! Phew, I’m glad all this is over.
CURRENT FRUIT (?) OBSESSION
Warning: There are way too many indulgences listed in this currently post (more on that next week.) One of my employees sent me the most DECADENT caramel apple I’ve ever eaten this year.
If you’re a fan of caramel apples, this one is HANDS DOWN the best I’ve ever had. It’s coated in caramel, rolled in pecans, and then topped with dark chocolate, drizzled with white chocolate. Bravo, Gourmet Galleria!
CURRENT BOOK
Do you ever pick up a book at just the right moment when you need its message? That’s how I felt about this amazing book.
Feeling stressed on my flight home from Christmas, I found this book on my iPad and decided to dive in. Rebekah’s stories and guidance are beautifully paired with 4-minute meditations. The mantras are perfection, and it truly grounded me (even from 30K feet).
CURRENT MUG SHOT
In Colorado, you have to go to the DMV every 10 years for a new photo. {Insert eye roll.}
I went last week to have my license updated, got myself picture ready, and I looked like this as I left the house. No filter on this pic, just natural lighting.
Somehow, the DMV photog had a mean-spirited camera. Because, you guys… this is what I came back with. It’s mine. For TEN YEARS. Ugh. Horrible.
CURRENT RUG FIND
In my last currently post, I shared that I was looking for a rug for my bedroom. Totally found one! Sharing below…. it is officially my favorite! Click here for details if you’re looking for something similar.
CURRENT CHRISTMAS ADVENTURE
This month, I flew into Flint, Michigan for a sales meeting. As we were driving to the customer site, we spotted signs for Bronner’s… the world’s largest Christmas store! Yep, we had to make a stop. You guys, it’s 1.5 football fields worth of winter wonderland…
CURRENT HOME IMPROVEMENT PROCESS
I decided to jump into painting project last month. Have you ever chalk painted? I decided to transform my black bookshelf into a white bookshelf to compliment my new bedroom makeover.
I located a shop in Lafayette that sells Annie Sloan paint, and got to work. Chalk paint is incredibly forgiving and covers quickly. I have a little left to do this weekend to finish the piece, but I love how it came out!
CURRENT CHRISTMAS CRACK
My sister-in-law is a self proclaimed “crack dealer”… CHRISTMAS CRACK that is! She’s been making it all season long, gifting it to friends and neighbors. She even talked me into making some to share with friends!
Have you guys ever seen this confection? It’s made from just a few simple ingredients and is delightfully salty & sweet! I used this Trisha Yearwood recipe and it comes together super quickly.
CURRENT HAIR OBSESSION
I got a blowout this month, and I truly forgot how much I love them. Don’t mind my pre-makeup look here… it’s about the hair!
We scheduled a little late so we couldn’t get into the traditional blowout bars in town, but we were able to schedule at Ulta in Temecula. If you’re in the area, please go see Melissa… she did an amazing job!
CURRENT SNACK FIND
During one of my trips through Denver International Airport, I found an incredible new snack. Believe it or not, I picked them up at a Caribou Coffee.
If you spot these Skinny Dipped Almonds out and about, try them! They’re lightly coated in chocolate and then dipped in cocoa powder. 180 calories for the pack!
CURRENT FUN FASHION TREND
Have you guys run across lantern sleeves yet? I found this super cute top at Loft this month… and it’s so different. Love this trend. Right up there with bell sleeves for me…
CURRENT FAVORITE CHRISTMAS DECORATION
I love decorating for Christmas (taking down decorations, not so much…) And, I spotted this puffy amazing garland this year at Hobby Lobby. I’m tempted to leave it up year round. I won’t, but I want to…
CURRENT BITMOJI OBSESSION
I have officially found my favorite Bitmoji. Happy New Year, y’all!
