This long weekend is flying by! Michael and I are currently at the airport in Denver preparing to fly back home. Did you have a nice Thanksgiving?
I’ve shared a bit more content on the blog this week, which is really nice. Other than scouting cyber weekend deals and brainstorming conversation-starters, here’s what I’ve been reading this week

How to get what you want from an airline (from personal experience: this is indeed the fastest way). [NYT Gifted Article]
The best way to put your carry-on bag into the overhead bin.
It’s always good to know your rights when things go wrong with your flight.

Life & Home
All the heart-eyes for this minimal pendant lamp.
What it’s like to work at an Amazon Warehouse during the holiday rush.
The cutest proposal photo ever.
While this was released specifically for Thanksgiving, it’s good to reference before any large gathering: How to Talk to Your Family About Racism

Food
Some suggestions for storing butter. Weird, yes – but very helpful at this time of the year.
Not a link, but rather a request for recommendations! Michael will be out of town this week for work, and it’s been so long since I’ve cooked meals for one that I have no idea what to eat (I can only survive on avocado toast for so long). Do you have any good recipes for one, or favorite food blogs about cooking for one?
This rolling pin is so lovely, and would make a Christmas cookie-baking spree go much faster!

Style
How ethical is the street-style cult brand Supreme?
I’m so grateful for Andrea’s layering tips and the recommendations I received on Instagram (thank you, thank you!).
things I bought this week
Not much, thankfully! I may take advantage of these cyber weekend deals before the end of the weekend, but so far I’ve just ordered this super cute book for my little siblings for Christmas.
Did you snag a good deal in-store or online this weekend? Or did you simply look the other way?
Thank you for the round up of great links and for the mention! I caved this Black Friday and got some stuff that had been sitting in my cart. I’m a sucker for a coupon but only act on things I was going to get anyway (or so I tell myself).
