5 Good Things | No. 16

Everyone kept saying how quickly the week had gone. Maybe it was because they got Monday off work for Columbus Day, but last week was long and tiresome for me. I did not get off work Monday and stayed late at school nearly every day. I was so happy to be able to walk out of school Friday afternoon at 3:30 and get my weekend started. I didn’t really do anything this weekend except tend to my much neglected laundry situation, but it was still nice to spend it at home. I have some fun things to share with y’all today, so let’s get going.

5 Good Things | No. 15

Though this blog post is all about the good things of the week, we Normans had quite the sad one with the loss of Paul’s grandmother, Mrs. Dot. She was a classy, beautiful woman who loved to golf and amazed me at her ability to get up and move with ease well into her 80s. I want to say thank you to everyone who reached out to express their sympathy, love, and prayers. Knowing she is whole in Heaven gives us peace, but she will, of course, be missed here.

I never got a blog post of good things up last week, so I’ve got two weeks worth of good things for you today. Today we’ve got recipes, a book, and even some beauty products to talk about. Let’s get started.

Holiday 2020 at Beautycounter

I can’t believe it’s time to start thinking about the holidays and all the shopping we need to do, but it’s only a little over 70 days away. Luckily, Beautycounter always gives us some good options. The sets make easy gifts for besties, moms, mothers and daughters in-law, daughters, teachers, co-workers, and even yourself. Here’s a little breakdown of what this year’s goodness looks like so far.

Be honest, how many of you are listening to Folklore on repeat? I know I’m not the only one. What a happy surprise from Taylor! I’ve loved it. My top 5 songs:
1. The Last Great American Dynasty
2. Exile
3. Illicit Affairs
4. Cardigan
5. Epiphany
Also love Peace, Invisible String, The 1, and This is Me Trying but honestly, the whole thing is incredible. Well done, Ms. Swift.

5 Good Things | No. 7

This weekend we visited my brother, Andrew, and his wife, Anna, at their home in Montgomery. They cooked for us and put us up for the night, and it was so nice to see them. I don’t think we’ve seen each other since before March. I’m also 3/4 of the way done with my tassel trim on the curtains I got for our living room. I ran out of the hem tape, so I’ll be making a run to the store soon. Maybe that’ll be a good thing for next week. I’ve got a few more than 5 good things this week. Let me know your thoughts on them if you find them to be good things, too.

5 Good Things No. 6

Despite the photo above, we had quite a busy week in the Norman house. It’s been a while since things have been busy around here. For me, anyway. Paul hasn’t stopped working, so I guess I’m the only one who feels like it’s different. I got my hair done, went to Montgomery, and went in actual stores and interacted with sales associates. Several things that seem so normal that we haven’t been able to do in months, all done with a mask, of course, but I got to do them nonetheless. Looking forward to a new week full of more normal things.

What a week last week was! I did some major adulting on Wednesday and bought new tires for my car. Hurt my feelings a little when he told me how much they cost, but I feel much better knowing I’m safer on the road. We attended a birthday party Friday night for Paul’s brother and his wife. Finally, Paul ran a big golf tournament over the weekend. Needless to say, we are rather tired and this week is shaping up to be just as busy. I’ve got a list of 5+ things to share with you this week. Let’s get started.

Quarantine Self Care

Happy Beautiful Saturday! I hope you’ve all had a great week and are enjoying the gorgeous day we’re having. This morning I woke up with a desire to do a little self care, and I wanted to do a quick roundup of all the products I used. Most are Beautycounter, but you can always take the idea and adapt to the products you already have in your cabinet.

Currently Loving- October 2019

So I’d like to know where October went. I feel like it was just October 1st. Wow, what a busy month! I keep a running list of things that I love about each month, and I have to say that this month’s list is quite long. So grab your coffee and settle in.

Better Beauty, Better Skin, and a Free Gift

Happy October 1st! That’s a thing we do in the Norman family. My mother-in-law’s family started it, I’m pretty sure, and now every first day of the month, it’s a competition to say, “Happy ____ 1st!” first.
