LOOK & LISTEN 

I didn't think I'd be recommending a documentary about Jonah Hill and his therapist but it is very sweet and moving and it makes me want to find an ideal therapist that doesn't just listen, but advises. (Any recommendations for LA or remote therapists that you love?!)

You want to listen to Christmas music, but you also want to be sad? I got you. 

This album is making a resurgence in my heart this week.

My new favourite passtime. Also: party games. Or, my favourite very self-explanatory game with new folks — what's your Mum's name? 




EAT & BUY

I felt the need to "test out" some Martha Stoumen wines for gifting to clients and friends, and this Trailblazer gift bundle did not last long in our house. Independent! Women Owned! And very importantly — delightfully pretty labels.

In love with these cabbage dumplings rolls combine everything delicious and are GF! 

Spiced Sugar Plums!

Gluten-free baking books always seem too complicated for me — this one is simple and has a huge variety of recipes that I can't wait to make over the break.

I find myself avoiding wearing puffer jackets because they don't make me feel good, and often don't go with the rest of my wardrobe. I purchased this long liner jacket recently and it is the perfect alternative that keeps you warm and if big enough to go over any outfit, but isn't too bulky — I find myself wearing it every single day.

A niche recommendation I'm sure, but I've purchased a couple of things from Gooby who specialise in harnesses and jumpers for small dogs — and they fit my lil Boston Terrier Iggy Pup so much better than any other brand.
