Happy weekend! This will be the last weekend reading for a bit as I am taking a little holiday breather. There will be a few new posts here next week and then I am taking about two weeks off. This weekend I am finishing some holiday shopping, wrapping the rest of my gifts, attending a few Christmas parties, and… resting! I hope you have such a good one. Stay safe and healthy. Xx

Another great list this week! Will be looking forward to the next one in the New Year. Loved the Elizabeth Gilbert interview – she has become my “I don’t know you, but you’re kinda like my older sister” inspiration in life. Also here to vouch for Biossance’s moisturizers. While I haven’t tried this one yet, I use 2 of their others (along with a few other products) and I really love them all (I also love the Kiehl’s eye/face moisturizer you have shared before. I switch between these 2 product lines each day. Have a wonderful holiday and thank you for all of your hard work with your blog – I love it (especially your book recommendations!)
Thank you so much Stacia, what a nice comment! And I couldn’t agree more, wish “Liz” was my big sister. I think so many of us feel that way; she seems like a remarkable person.
