Happy Friday, y’all! The kids are officially on Christmas break starting today and we couldn’t be more excited for 17.5 days off!!!! Today, as always, I’m sharing a few favorites from the week, and for the first item, I have a question for all you middle aged (or older) ladies…
O N E – Olly Perimeno Supplements
Well… I think it’s finally happening… I’m pretty sure I’m starting to have perimenopause symptoms. Two thumbs down. And one of those symptoms happens to be dizziness, as if I haven’t already had enough of that these past few years. I guess my body is just super susceptible to it for some reason. Sigh. There are many things I can handle – like night sweats and mood swings – but I simply cannot handle being dizzy for the next ten years or however long it takes for my hormones to even out again.
I plan to talk to all of this about my primary doctor and my gynecologist at my next appointments, but in the meantime, I came across these… has anyone ever tried these or any other supplement that is helpful for perimenopause symptoms? I’m pretty sure that plummeting estrogen each month is causing the bulk of my issues based on what I’ve observed, but obviously there’s no way to know until I see a doctor.
I haven’t purchased these yet, but I’m considering it and I just wanted to reach out to all of you first… if you have any good recs for any good products that help stabilize hormones during perimenopause or if you have any opinions about these specifically, please let me know! They have good reviews on all platforms and Olly is a trusted brand, but I'm just not sure whether or not they're worth it...
T W O – Wrist Towels
Y’all want to know something that absolutely disgusts me but is so very silly and is also a major first world problem? When water drips down my wrists every night as I’m washing my face. Y’all want to know which product solved this issue after years and years of being disgusted every single night when water drips down my arms and into my sleeves? These $3.99 wrist towels. Where oh where have these been all my life?! I couldn’t be more pleased with this purchase.
T H R E E – Mary Oliver’s
Drunk Cousin AKA Lyndsay Rush
I have followed Lyndsay Rush on Instagram for years @maryoliversdrunkcousin and she is one of my absolute favorite people on all of social media. She is a poet and she writes the most beautiful sentiments, many of which are like a punch to the gut, but in a makes you feel seen kind of way. A few of my recent faves are below, and one of her posts may have contributed to the inspiration for my word for 2026… but I’m saving that one to share in 2026. ;o)
F O U R – Tiny Tweaks,
Happy Life
My friend Erin wrote a book, y’all! I’m so incredibly happy for her and I cannot wait to get my hands on my copy in January. In her book Tiny Tweaks, Happy Life, Erin will help you to overcome overwhelm by decluttering your space, mind, and schedule, identify and prioritize what truly matters to you and your family, learn how to harness time as a powerful tool, establish routines for efficient household management, and find the freedom to embrace imperfection and abandon comparison for a more fulfilling life.
The book will be released on January 27, 2026, so it will be the perfect read to kick off the new year when we’re all working on New Year’s goals and/or resolutions. You can preorder your copy now… I’ve already preordered mine and I can’t wait to read it and start my new year off on a positive note! Erin is truly a joy!
F I V E – Yeet Tee
Brian and I saw this t-shirt at Kohl’s last week on our shopping day and I couldn’t grab it fast enough for Jacob. If you have a teen or tween, then you know! Haha. It’s currently on sale for just $10.39… I know it’s kind of late in the game for this Christmas season, but I wanted to share in case you want to grab one for next year. My friends and I have been saying yeet since college, so I don’t see it going anywhere. Hahahaha.
