A Few of My Favorite Things This Week

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. In addition to the hustle and bustle of completing all your Christmas shopping and baking up all the delicious treats that come along with this time, I hope you are also taking a moment to enjoy yourself. This time only come around once a year after all. Forget perfection, and instead focus on all the little moments that make this time so special. That's just my suggestion though, do what you will with it.

In an effort to focus on the smaller things in life, I've decided today's post is an excellent opportunity for a Favorite Things List! I've been itching to do another one of these for awhile now, so I'm extra excited! So, without further ado, here are some things I was particularly loving this week.

1.)
First, I am absolutely and totally in love with this dress I imagine wearing it out dancing with my future boyfriend Yankees' Shortstop, Derek Jeter. Wouldn't we make an incredibly attractive couple?!

2.)
Next up is something that isn't defined as a purely this week kind of love. I actually have a rather unhealthy addiction going. I'm, of course, talking about peppermints. I don't know if I've mentioned this or not yet, but I'm pretty positive that I am the reincarnation of an eighty year old grannie. I am "that person" who is always crinkling wrappers in the middle of class and I probably pop a new one every hour or so. To show I'm not exaggerating, here are the wrappers that have accumulated in my bag.

Please don't judge me.

3.)
My next love this week is to recoup from that old soul confession. I go along with nearly every other woman in America, possibly the world, when I add Ryan Gosling to this list. What? He had a fantastic year! Crazy, Stupid, Love definitely goes down as one of my favorite movies of 2011. Plus, he made a cameo appearance in one of my dreams the other night. If that doesn't get you a spot of the list, then I don't know what does.

4.)
Now, I haven't actually experienced the next thing on my list. But, they look so amazing that I feel like they deserve a spot. These delicious looking oreo cookie treats look they they will change your world with one bite. I think it also counts to have them on the list if I plan on making them in the future. With how easy they look to make and how extremely delicious they look to devour, I am definitely making them this Christmas!

5.)
For the final list item, I am opting for a seasonally themed addition. My house had its Secret Santa exchange last night and it was simply delightful! Now, I know it is cliche to say that giving a gift is just as exciting as getting a gift, but I'm going to say it anyway. Especially when you nailed it with a particular gift and you can tell that the person is genuinely happy/excited. The entire atmosphere of the house was light and happy. It was just nice to spend a few hours together without worrying about work or what still has to get done.

There you have it. Quite the eclectic list, I'll admit. All deserving of spot though, I feel. So, what made your list this week? I am eager to hear about it. Have a delightful rest of the weekend!
