{seeking refuge from the rain inside the luxe Hotel Georgia}
The period of time from when daylight savings ends until the winter solstice happens is when I tend to be the most down (as much as I wish it wasn't true, weather plays a huge factor in how I feel). In an attempt to combat my SAD this year, I've vowed to try to be more thankful for the fact that I live in a part of the world that gets to experience four distinct seasons, among countless other blessings. And between a wonderful weekend consisting of a lovely wedding show (I'm not engaged, but it's always fun to dream up ideas!), matcha lattes and being tucked away inside while listening to the pouring rain, I think that mentality is working out quite well indeed.

I love the lipstick with your name engraved on it!
I know what you mean about feeling down during the winter. I go to work in the dark and as soon as I get home the sun goes down. I'm thinking about getting one of those SAD lamps, they're supposed to help! Have you ever though of getting one?

I feel the same way about this time of year and it's definitely all about mentality. Being thankful for what we have here puts things in perspective, plus your treats and that lipstick make any day brighter!

Oh goodness! Now, I'm craving red velvet cake and it's only 8 in the AM. Those mini version look so delish. I also love your personalize tube of lipstick. So cute and definitely a great Christmas present idea. :)
I wish we had 4 distinct seasons here in Hawaii. The grass is always greener, right? Well, I hope your week is off to a great start, Jen!

The engraved lip gloss is ultra cool! The matcha latte looks devine. I feel you on feeling dreary with cold bleak seasons!
