five: holiday makers

This time of year there are so many things that make the season what it is; an amazing celebration of life and love, joy and hope. Here are five things that made me happy just to be experiencing the season for another year. (The last year before I experience it with a little one in tow mind you...yay!) 

[my favorite stop of the day: Two Guns for a flat white // a Christmas manicure a la Revlon "Posh" and Deborah Lippmann "Happy Birthday"]

[homemade brownie with peppermint ice cream]

[a wooden Santa from Olvera Street and our first Christmas together and a glass orb find from our holiday road trip last year]

[beautiful Christmas cards...I'm like a little kid running to the mailbox everyday to see what's arrived]
