Reading:
31 Prayers for My Future Husband- Jennifer and Aaron Smith
"This book has been written to be a starting place and/or guide to help you begin your lifelong journey of praying for your future husband and marriage. "

Before you jump to conclusions... no, I am not praying for God to send me a boyfriend or a husband.
But rather praying for guidance for whoever my person is in their journey on their way to me, whenever that may be.

Running:
Our LAST 5K of 2016. We officially did it, 12Ks in 12 months!
Now, what goal to set for next year?

Watching:
Westworld.
Yes, finally. and I am hooked.
The first episode is bizarre but stick with it!

Wearing:

OPI's Black Cherry Chutney
It's no secret I love dark nails, black being my go-to. However, it's not very Christmas-y so I switched to this darker but festive hue for the holidays.
After all, there's plenty of time for back to black for NYE.

My Instagram Best Nine of 2016!

Celebrating:

This weekend is full of Christmas cheer, Sunshine Santa 5K Saturday morning and then media girl shenanigans Saturday night! 

[and then naps and football on Sunday]

Five on Friday

1.

There's new Taylor Swift. I repeat, there's new Taylor Swift.

Before it even finished downloading, I texted Sara and sure enough she had already listened. 

Check out the new teaser trailer with the track below.

2.

If you didn't have plans for this weekend, now you do... Season 2 of Fuller House is now streaming on Netflix! Should have this finished before the Steeler game Sunday.

3.

Keeping on theme with "New Arrivals" My Kind of Lovely has a ton of new arrivals going live on the website and in store today! MuMu, sweaters, Christmas tees. Hurry and get 'em while they're hot! [and still in stock]

4.

Can you tell it's the holiday season? 

Lilly rolled out new arrivals this morning too. 

I spy one of my all time favorite prints Southern Charm hidden in accessories. 

5.

If you're looking for [inexpensive] gift ideas for your girlfriends, or for yourself, use my code for a free first month of Rocksbox. Think Rent the Runway but all jewelry and no timeline on your rental. I requested my first box using a code like this last year and now count down for my next box to arrive! You won't regret it.

Five on [the first] Friday [of December]

Here are five ways you can help Gatlinburg and victims of the wildfires this week.

Some are strictly donation based while some are merchandise benefitting the relief fund.

Every little bit helps!

1.

Project 615 is donating100% of the profit from the "Heart for the Smokies" tshirt towards the Gatlinburg Relief Fund. 

2.

Text PFG to 91999

or online at https://app.mobilecause.com/f/150t/n

3.

Starting this weekend, if you shop at any Food City you can donate any dollar amount at the register. If you don't live in East TN, don't worry Publix is offering the same opportunity.

4.

If you'd like to donate directly to the relief fund, you can mail checks to:

Gatlinburg Relief Fund

SmartBank

P.O. Box 1910

Pigeon Forge, TN 37868

SmartBank locations will also be accepting donations.

5.

Donation centers have been overflowing with supplies, so much so that they've asked for people to stop dropping off. Therefore monetary donations are best right now. However there is the one thing we can all do, that there will never be enough of, and that is prayers.
