10 Favorite Things

I have my third interview with a local company next week, and I feel a cool combination of excitement and nervousness.

I can confidently say I nailed the first two interviews, but some of the things I have to present for the next one feel out of my comfort zone. New things can be scary!

Regardless of what happens, I try to remind myself that this will be good practice. Like, if I don't get this job, my life won't be over. It just means that it wasn't meant to be (but I'm very ready to find the right thing, and this job feels like it). So yeah, that's where my cold, virus-ridden head is.

I didn't plan on announcing the job stuff to anyone, but I figured it couldn't hurt to put it out in the universe. As the cool kids say ... "fingers and toes crossed!"

In other news, I've been wearing Christmas turtlenecks, sweatshirts, and sweaters every day for the last week. It's funny how many I've collected over the years.

For this week's ten things, I thought I would share what I have on my Christmas list this year. Cool? Cool.

1. A nostalgic (but not full-on vintage) microwave. I love the color.
   

2. I've had my eye on this limited-edition eyeshadow palette for a while. The pun is 100% intentional. Update: It looks like it's out of stock everywhere, but here's a similar one.
   

3. I bought a pair of faux Birkenstocks over the summer and have worn them to death. They have a little life left in them, but not much. I also have them in brown.
   

4. I love this puffer jacket. Plus, the brand makes me feel cool and younger than I am.
   

5. I would really like to replace my old and boring flatware set with this one. I like its unique design and mix of gold and silver. Oh, and it's affordable.
   

6. I'll admit that I'm pretty terrible at dressing appropriately for cold weather. But I'm pretty sure these gloves will help motivate me this winter.
   

7. I obviously want this t-shirt from one of my favorite Etsy shops. 🔪
   

8. I desperately need a frying pan set without all those weird chemicals in the coating. These seem perfect!
   

9. This makeup bag reminds me of the 90s. And my high school bedroom, of course.
   

10. Last but not least, I received a fresh set of hand towels for my bathroom. It's hard to choose between this design and the floral one. They're both A++ to me.
