Share Our Lives

Hello and happy Monday…and happy Veteran’s Day to those who serve or have served in the military.

I hope you had a great weekend. Did you catch my posts on Saturday and Sunday? The Gratitude Challenge has been fun to keep up with with month.

How is this our second to last Share Our Lives link up for 2024? I’m co-hosting with some of my favorite bloggers.

So far this year we’ve discussed…

• Introductions and jobs you’ve had in January
• How we met our significant others in February
• 5 items you can’t live without in March
• Favorite makeup and hair products in April
• 5 favorite and least favorite foods in May
• Foods you make for someone else in June
• Day in the life: summer edition in July
• Least favorite activities in August
• Finding peace in your day in September
• Sweet tooth cravings in October

This month’s topic is…where you shop.

I’m guessing we scheduled this as the topic since many of us are starting to shop for the holiday season. That being said, my brain automatically thought of categories…Why am I like this?

Groceries:

I get 70-80% of my groceries at Kroger. You know I love Trader Joe’s, and I go there once a week or every other week. Aldi’s is another spot I like to check out from time to time.

Beauty:

I shop for makeup/beauty products mostly on Amazon or Target. Ulta is where I get my shampoo and conditioner, and then I always end up finding another thing or two. I love my Tarte shape tape, and Ulta has it now. I still use Dime for my skincare. I just went to Sephora the other day to pick up a gift for Hadley, and that place overwhelms me!

Clothes:

Y’all know I love SSYS, and I truly have so many things in my wardrobe I love from that shop. I buy a lot from Amazon, as you know. I like Target and Old Navy, but I really don’t buy as many clothes at either of those anymore.

Candles:

Bath and Body Works is where I usually get candles since there’s always a sale, and there are a couple stores in town. I love Antique Candle Co. candles too, and usually buy one each season. Jen Reed has some great scents with her Life in Lilac brand, and the jars are beautiful. I usually buy those candles a couple of times a year.

Home Decor:

For me, Homegoods is my fave place to find home and holiday decor. Target and TJ Maxx are also good as well. I just love strolling through Homegoods and taking my time while looking at all the decor.

Gifts:

Obviously, it depends on who I’m buying for, but I shop Amazon, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Target quite a bit. I always have luck at Aerie for Hadley. I do love supporting local shops and buying gifts from Etsy too. Truly, I’ve purchased quite a few gifts from Etsy shops, and I’m never disappointed.

While holiday shopping is still sometimes overwhelming to me, I am lucky that online shopping and curbside service are so convenient!

Next month, our topic is “favorite scents,” and we’d love to have you join us in the link up.

I need to get shopping for the kids’ birthday …which is next week! Where’s your favorite place to shop?
