Ultimate Dream Christmas List
Carly Riordan did this a couple weeks ago and it seemed so fun. These are the items that we would absolutely love, but could never ask anyone to buy for us (unless I start dating a billionaire suddenly) and have to save up for, probably for a while. The luxuries that none of us really…

Cute stocking stuffers. Why do long drives feel so good? I have wanted to do a sleepover at Ikea ever since I saw that Kelsey from The Sorry Girls got to do one as part of an influencer trip. Well, a bunch of random Danish people got to do that after a snowstorm and it…
