Merry and Bright








Merry Christmas everyone! I can't get over how today is finally Christmas Day, the excitement of waking up early (the only day when I'm a morning person haha), the anticipation of unwrapping each and every gift, and spending time with loved ones. This Christmas was one to remember with the  lovely gifts I received as well as the company of my family. I hope all of you have enjoyed the Holiday season and have a fabulous Christmas.

Xoxo,
Jillian

'Tis the Season for Entertaining



 '








Hi everyone! The Christmas season is finally in full swing, even though the low has been 73 degrees, doesn't stop from all of the Holiday excitement! I recently finished my brutally stressful, painful and ever-so dreaded midterms week, which comes with the gift of having almost 3 weeks off for Christmas break! I'm so thrilled to be off for Christmas, spending time with my loved ones and doing new things each and every day! I'm planning on making this Christmas break one for the books! With all the time I have off, I'll be posting more frequently with the different adventures I encounter during my hiatus that hopefully all you readers will enjoy! Any who, considering Christmas IS the time for entertaining (and I do enjoy to entertain), also celebrating a successful  finish to my midterms, I decided to host a Christmas brunch with my nearest and dearest friends. I'm a huge breakfast fan and I've been wanting to host a brunch so badly & it came out to be a total success! I set my table with festive Christmas decor and for my center piece I used poinsettias, as well as individually wrapped earrings for my friends to take with them. I served egg sandwiches, fruit salad, mini pancake muffins, a hot chocolate bar, crustless feta cheese and spinach quiche, and to top it off, red velvet cookies for dessert! The brunch was a great kick off to Christmas, as well as getting everyone in the Holiday spirit! I will definitely make this an annual event! What are some of your Christmas traditions?

XOXO,
Jillian

Hey guys! Let me just start off by saying how happy I was by realizing how much of a hit my first post was! So in spite of it being Cyber Monday, and the early start to the Holiday season, I've put together a Under $50 Gift Guide to everyone on your list! Who knows, maybe they are all three! Creating this blog post is so exciting because it made it so surreal that the Holidays are pretty much in full swing. This is perfect for your best friend, sister, cousins, you name it! Hope you enjoy what I put together.

Jillian
