I rarely wear pink. Pink clothes don’t jump out at me. I never pick pink as a color for anything.
And pink shadows were included in that.
Until I started wearing SeneGence ShadowSense. And now I want ALLLLL the pinks. Especially if they are shimmery. 💗

That’s one of the many things I love about my little “side gig” — it has caused me to expand my horizons in so many different ways.
So I might as well get some work done on my phone because I refuse to interrupt the cuddle.

I’ve been up — and working — since about 8:30 so I’m not a TOTAL slacker. But I just want to show you a “naked” face pic so you can see what my skin actually looks like without makeup. I swear it looks like I have a filter on but I don’t. Pinky promise.

If you wish and dream for better skin, I’m your girl. You can shop day or night here!

We hope to watch them all by the time the kids go back to school in January!

Owen was at a sleepover and Anna sent us this pic.


So we got an early Christmas present for us…an Ooni pizza oven (we’d casually talked about it before but then after talking with Jim and Beth over Thanksgiving, our interest was renewed).
Tonight was the inaugural dinner with David and Anna (and kids) as guinea pigs. Initial setup was on the deck but torrential rain moved it to the garage.









And it was absolutely amazing! I foresee a lot of pizza in our future…
Going on two hours of this glorious doggo cuddle. Tom and I were catching up on Survivor and CSI Las Vegas and she stayed like this the entire time…plus more!



So I’m gonna toot my own horn for a hot second.
This past November turned out to be my best month ever since I started this “side gig” almost five years ago…and I made the Top 5 leaderboard out of thousands of people in my group!

Technically I didn’t have that amount of sales — they can only see what I purchased — but that’s how they track things. But it was still my highest sales month ever, coming in at $9,272! (My previous highest month was April of this year during my SeneVersary month with $8,114.)
I can’t thank my amazing clients enough as they’re the ones who helped me get here—but I’m obviously doing something right since they keep coming back! I never thought I’d be doing this but here we are!
This was the first in-person band concert since March 2019!




Went on a hunt for Maggie. Overlooked her a few times.


She’s been wrapped up on me with the heating pad most of the day.



She recovered pretty quickly. Thankfully it wasn’t super cold.


For the most part I have always replaced regular decorations with holiday—like normal everyday things on shelves/walls got replaced with wrapped boxes/kids artwork. Candles and candlesticks got put away and replaced with reindeer and small trees.
But this year I’m rethinking.
Maybe it’s because we JUST finished redecorating the living room (and there’s lots more stuff now).
Or maybe it’s because we’ve only had one Christmas here and I just don’t have a set place for everything.
Or maybe it’s just because I’m exhausted.
Or maybe it’s because I forgot I bought a lot of clearance stuff last year.
Or maybe it’s because I usually end up doing 85% of it by myself…
And I’m totally sucking up the snuggle!







What timing. I randomly made this graphic this morning…and then went to the salon to get my eyebrows done…and she commented that she loves the silver streaks in my hair! She said not to touch them because they look great!

We’ve wanted to stop at the Albanese outlet many times but we always had Maggie with us and it was too hot or cold to leave her in the car. So we stopped today! They have our favorite gummi bears!
IT was quite crowded so I didn’t take pics — but here’s one I found online that gives you an idea! This is about half of it! And so much more than gummi bears!!

Our faves might be the Goof Ups Gummi Worms!


So this was what it looked like when we left this morning. Pretty…but still yuck. LOL
Tom wanted to leave early so I told him to wake me up. I expected 6am—and when he did it felt like 6. It was 8. So we didn’t leave until 9. Early. Haha. His new early is 9am. I like that.
Installing two Toto toilets for Gramma!
