Thanksgiving Break means Me Time!

This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Weave Made Media®, PEOPLE® Magazines, and The Hershey Company®, but all my opinions are my own. #weavemade #HolidayMeTimeMags http://my-disclosur.es/RgFrEH

Do the holidays get crazier and crazier each year? That’s definitely what it feels like. People get really busy, emotions are at an all time high…I feel like life in general is hyped up. Whether it’s good or bad, it’s all happening in the Fall. October was a blur and I couldn’t wait for my Thanksgiving break so I could get some “me time," especially with December and all of the holiday events approaching! Sometimes you deserve a few drop-everything-and-veg moments, ya know? The other day, while doing some shopping in Randall’s, I prepped for my beautiful and amazing Thanksgiving break: a People magazine, and a King Size Kit Kat bar. KING SIZE. Because dangit, I was gonna treat myself.

Want a dollar off your purchase of a People magazine and king size Hershey chocolate?

Lately my free time is spent studying or sweeping. We got our new floors this Fall, and I went from sweeping up dog hair every other day to every day. I love the tile, but it’s a stark contrast against our black labs’ fur coats! It's a blessing though, because I've been keeping the dog hair at an all time low after 5 years of carpet. :-O After a typical morning spent studying, sweeping, walking the dogs, editing photos, and putting laundry away, I hid in the guest room for a while. My favorite record lately is Bridge Under Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel. I keep playing “Only Living Boy In New York” on repeat…thanks Garden State. (By the way, kudos to the record player generation…makes me thankful for the “repeat” option on my electronics!)

I got lost in the story about Brooke Shields’ childhood, as I ate my Kit Kat bars methodically. Nibble off the exterior chocolate before munching on the layers of wafer. Osa was super jealous. Also, I never realized that Brooke Shields’ career began so controversially. Or that she was bffs with MJ. Hmm.

I don't mind letting Osa share in my "me time." :)

How do you take your “me time”? My sister watches those Housewives shows, Daniel plays video games. You?
