Hey y'all! Happy Wednesday! Can you believe that tomorrow is Thanksgiving?! I can't. I'm already trying to prepare myself for the amount of food that I will be eating. Anyone else?

Since today is the last day until Thanksgiving, I wanted to do one last Thanksgiving post before it is over. So, today I will be sharing 3 festive Thanksgiving outfit ideas. I chose this topic because I hadn't done a fashion post in a while and I also thought that it might be helpful to some of you. To some, picking out an outfit for Thanksgiving might be crazy and over-doing it a little but I personally really like it. I want to be as festive as possible so why not be festive with an outfit too??

I have 3 different outfits lined up ranging from least casual to most casual. They are all really simple and you could probably pull them off with things that you already own. Nevertheless, they are still very cute and perfect for the holiday. Of course you could also change them up a bit. For example, changing out the sandals for some boots or vice versa.

The first one is a sweater with jeans (rolled at the bottom) and some booties. I found this sweater at Target and these jeans are the American Eagle Super Stretch X jeggings. I also got these booties a while back at Rue21. I think that this outfit is so cute but very simple. Even the texture on the sweater makes it even cuter.

So Thanksgiving is on Thursday and being thankful is on everyone's mind during this time of the year. I think having a holiday like Thanksgiving is a great reminder to us all to take the time to be thankful. Since I know that it can be easier to remember to be thankful during these fall months, I wanted to share a few scripture verses that we can use to remind us to be thankful year-round.


1 Chronicles 16:34: "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever."

1 Thessalonians 5:18: "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

Colossians 3:17: "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."

Psalm 95:2-3: "Let us come before Him with thanksgiving and extol Him with music and song. For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods."

2 Corinthians 9:11: "You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God."

These are just a few verses about having a thankful heart. Hopefully throughout the year you can remind yourself of these verses. You could set a reminder on your phone, write them down somewhere, or memorize them so that you can more easily remind yourself to be thankful and also remind yourself to be thankful not just during these months but to have year-round thankfulness. ♥

I know I know, I haven't posted a lot these past 2 weeks. But I plan on getting back on schedule so that I can have time to post all of my holiday posts that I have in mind. Today will actually be another season/holiday related post (don't you just love them?).

Before I get into my current Bath and Body Works holiday favorites, I want to share a few little updates. First, this past weekend my family and I had a little road trip to go to my cousins 2nd birthday party. We pretty much spent the whole weekend with them and I had a great time. It was nice being able to get away and do something new for the weekend. Secondly, I am in the process of setting up a new email subscription service so if you have never subscribed keep and eye out for when it is ready to subscribe to because then would be the time to do so. I am excited to get it up and going. Lastly, you may have noticed that I have been changing a few things on the blog. One of them being that I have now published the Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, and Disclaimer that you can access by clicking the links or by scrolling to the bottom of the blog and clicking on the links.

Now that I have those out of the way, I can share my current Bath and Body Works holiday favorites with y'all. So a little backstory to how I chose these as my favorites. I have been looking for some more good candles recently and heard that BABW's was having their 3-wick candles on sale for about half-off the regular price. Because, lets be real $24.50 is a little pricey for what I would like to spend on a candle. They were also having the 3 for $15 sale on their little candles so I went in to see what they had out. I don't think I smelled them all but, out of the ones that I did try, these were my favorites:



I loved all of these especially the cinnamon caramel swirl (which I got in the big size). There were some that I didn't like and others that weren't on the floor yet, though. I haven't burned any of them yet but I'm sure that they will smell great. If you are looking for a gift or a gift for yourself;) then I highly suggest trying these out and adding them to your list.

Have you seen the BABW's holiday collections yet? If so, which ones are your favorite? Leave a comment letting me know! ♥

November is officially here! That means we are getting closer and closer to 2018. Wow. I wanted to create for myself some new goals to try to work towards before the year is officially up so today that is what I will be sharing with you all.
