Thanksgiving: 5 Things I'm Thankful For Today
Happy Thanksgiving! Even if you don’t celebrate this holiday, it’s a great excuse to exercise gratitude and give thanks for even the small, silly little things we take for granted. While I am incredibly thankful for all of you, my family, my friends, my dogs, and all of the wonderful opportunities I’ve been granted, today I decided to take a playful spin on the topic of thankfulness and put together a little tongue-in-cheek list of 5 things I’m grateful for this time of year…
- Red lipstick. The holiday season is my absolute favorite time to wear this look. It’s festive, sophisticated, and just plain fun to wear!
- Holiday drinks. I get so excited (like little-kid-jumping-up-and-down excited) when the local coffee shops roll out their festive holiday drinks. From pumpkin lattes to peppermint hot cocoa, the more the merrier!
- Eggnog. This is the only time of year I get to indulge in one of my guiltiest pleasures…eggnog! Yum.
- Chilly nights in. I love the excuse of bundling up with friends and spending a night in beside a warm fire.
- Calories don’t count on holidays. When you’re celebrating with your loved ones, the last thing you should think about is calories. In my book, it’s time to enjoy, indulge, and eat!
Tell me about the 5 little things you’re thankful for this time of year in the comments below!
Have a lovely Thanksgiving everyone :-)

Even though I am from the Uk, I am so thankful for so many things. I am grateful for My family, friends and cat but I similarly did a playful spin on what I am thankful for too this year. Here they are:
1.) Reading: I love reading and I am thankful that I can read magazines and books whether that be on the train or taking a break from doing university work.
2.) Dvds: I am thankful to be able to lose myself in a great film, every Friday night! Chick-lit for the win!
3)Nail Polish- I am thankful to be creative with something so simple such as the Floral Manicures, trying new colours and I am already planning of my Xmas nails- Dark Red and Dark Green.
4.) Food- I appreciate food so much and I am incredibly grateful this time of year and thankful that I can go out and enjoy it whether that be some Thai Food, Sushi, to Nando's or Mcdonalds or Kfc. There are great places for hanging out with friends on Uni breaks.
5.) Coffee-shop trips: Finding new drinks to try during the Winter Season from Pumpkin lattes to Eggnog Lattes to having a traditional cup of tea or hot chocolate. I am thankful that it keeps me warm when I am in such a cold country like England!
