Thoughts from a Tuesday

Life Ramblings Travel November 24, 2015

-It’s this time of year that I fall in love with Dallas again – the weather has been picture perfect and the best part is that it usually lasts.

-I’ve been trying to switch to clean lip balm, and I’m having the hardest time – my lips get so cracked and gross that I go running back to the Blistex.

-We had a low key weekend, including Moroccan food at Souk – I loved the lamb tagine, Lebanese wine, and the dates for dessert.

-I’m excited to see family for Thanksgiving, but not looking forward to travel. The world news is heartbreaking these days.

-I’m so thankful to have some time off work. And to have a good job. And a billion other things this year.

-I’ve gotten really into zucchini lately, and a I crave the combination of potatoes with salmon

-I need some good reading for the holidays. Any recs.?

-Sweet potatoes are my favorite dish at Thanksgiving. What’s yours?

Have a safe and restful holiday!

xoxo

Hey larbs, have you tried eos lip balm its the egg shaped one. It works pretty well. They have a medicated kind too that is kind of like blistex or carmex. Or burts bees is good too but doesn’t stay on as long as eos.

Try Portland Bee Balm! It was a game changer for me.
I am partial to my family recipe stuffing 🙂

Have you tried Badger cocoa butter lip balm? I have tried dozens of natural lip balms over the years, but this is the only one that I find truly moisturising (and, at the same time, not irritating to sensitive lips).

Happy holidays! 🙂

I’m finishing up “A Little Life” by Hanya Yanagihara. It’s hefty (about 750 pages) and, unfortunately, the opposite of uplifting — but so well written and quite a powerful story. Looking forward to reading the other National Book Award nominees’ books next! http://www.nationalbook.org/nba2015.html#.VlXisHarRaR

I love Blistex, there is nothing else that works on my dry, chapped lips!
Fave side dish- cranberry sauce
I don’t blame you on the travel anxieties!
Happy Thanksgiving 🙂

I just finished “The girl on the train”. It’s not comfortable to read but definitely a great book 🙂

I would second the Eos lip balm – it truly works and love that it is natural. I would also second The Girl On The Train for a vacation read, it is a mystery and a real page turner!
