1. I’ve been to Trader Joe’s 4 times already this week. Yeah, I know, I am addicted. So excited that it is the season of Candy Cane Joe Joes!
2. Starbucks is offering a great deal to those of you with Chase credit cards – upload $20+ with Chase Pay and you’ll get enough bonus stars for 2 free drinks. I have this card and love it! Also, here are a few of my favorite Starbucks Hacks. 
3. I am visiting my sister next week for Thanksgiving. She’s the coolest and lives in ITALY! We’ll mostly be in the Florence area and I am doing some last minute research to pick spots I want to go. Found a few great articles ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]) – please let me know if anyone else has recommendations!
4. The new Fantastic Beasts movie is coming out in one year! The first one was so good, can’t wait to see what JK Rowling comes up with next. I highly recommend the first movie, even if you are not a Harry Potter fan, it’s a great movie.

1. Very inspired by Emily‘s post on hosting a friendgiving brunch! I think lots of people can get a little turkey-overloaded during November, and brunch is such a nice (lighter!) alternative, where you can still bring in some of those delicious fall flavors. Drooling over this Thanksgiving Leftovers Eggs Benedict recipe.
2. My fiancé and I are starting to plan our honeymoon for this coming April. We’re heading to Moab, Utah for a week! I’ve never been, but it’s a longtime-favorite in his family, so we’re doing some research on new-to-him spots to check out ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]) as will as scheduling some of his familiar picks!
3. I have 3 very close friends who all just had babies in the last week (!!), so I’ve been gifting lots of newborn items as of late! My favorites so far are: this spasilk layette set, this icybite teether toy, onesies on onesies on onesies on onesies (I hear babies get them dirty often?), and this crib mobile.
4. Laundry symbols explained! Finally! Some of these make absolutely no sense!
