Comfort in the Cold

This is my comfy-when-it's-cold outfit. And my I-only-have-to-go-outside-once-today-so-I'm-not-going-to-put-in-more-effort-than-I-need-to outfit. I usually try to put in effort even if I'm not doing much in the day, but today I just felt like going to my cold weather go-to outfit. And honestly I love wearing this. The pops of color is just what I need to brighten my day and I've been in love with my fifi lapin sweater since I got it in France. 

The semester is starting to wind down here, as I'm sure it is for many others too. The stress is coming, followed by the sweet relief of winter break. I try to keep my cool by taking frequent breaks and try to get a few workouts in here and there.

What do you do to stay sane during the stressful end of semester? Good luck!

I hope everyone had an enjoyable Thanksgiving! Mine was a great relaxed afternoon with great company and delicious food. This outfit is what I wore for dinner, which I may have been a bit overdressed for, since apparently I am unaware about proper attire for Thanksgiving. But you know, I never really get to dress up so I enjoyed it :)

Below is the corn pudding I made for dinner. My mom taught me how to make it years ago and for any big dinners we'd have I'd usually make it so that she had more time to take care of everything else. But this was the first time I actually brought it myself to a non-family event, so I feel all grown up, ha.

Break is now almost over, which saddens me. How did the time go by so fast?!?! I guess it's time to go back to the usual daily grind.

How was your holiday? Are you ready to go back to normal?

Thanksgiving Firsts

Happy Thanksgiving!

*Gobble Gobble*

I'm normally not a huge fan of Thanksgiving and don't say much about it. But this year Thanksgiving is different so I did want to share what I am thankful for, not just today, but during this season of my life.

I am thankful for:

• My family and friends who support me no matter what, even when I'm being crazy and make no sense.
• My education, because even though it drives me crazy half all the time I know that it will be very important for my future.
• The kind people at this university whom are inviting me to their home this afternoon even though I am not family.
• The clothes in my wardrobe, because even though I always complain that I hate what I have or need more, the fact that I have a choice in clothing is enough in itself.
• The life that I have. Seriously, life isn't as bad as I always think it is. Au contraire, it's quite awesome ;)

That's all I have for now, but there are many many things I am thankful for in my life! I am off to prepare my family's famous (not really) corn casserole dish for dinner tonight. This is my first Thanksgiving without my family but also the first time I actually get to contribute to the dinner! So it all works out in the end :)

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I want to hear all about it afterwards!
