I cannot believe it is the end of November.
This means it is one month closer to seeing my family and one more month that I
have survived my first year of teaching! Things have been wild recently (as I’m
sure you can tell by the severe lack of posts), so I have to catch you up as
much as possible!
1. Austria Trip
I am working on making a
wonderful travel
post for you all about this trip. My two best friends from home came to see
me at the beginning of the month since I had a week off, and I cannot begin to
tell you how thankful I am for this trip. We go to see so many places and
experience different cultures. For me, the most important part was just being
with them. I’ve been craving friend time, and it means so much to me that they wanted
to come see me. We now have some incredible memories to cherish.
2. The Military Band at the
Changing of the Guard
Before we left for
Austria, we had a couple days in London. I think the Changing of the Guard is
one of those things that could be overrated. However, the band is AMAZING. I
was a bank geek (and proud of it) in high school, and I’m a huge fan of music.
The band played Skyfall AND Thriller and it was fantastic. I fangirled the
whole time.
3. Rewards System
This is so silly, but I
have come up with a great way to motivate myself to mark books. It is, in fact,
in the form of Smarties. It was a complete accident one day, but I have been
using it ever since. When I know I can eat one Smartie after every book marked,
it definitely speeds up the process. My book-marking time has been cut in half.
Whatever works, right?
4. Christmas Candles
It is that time of year
again! I just got myself this adorable candle folder with four scents from a
Black Friday deal, and I am obsessed. I happened to walk by a candle store that
is going out of business, so I may be making even more purchases to make my
flat smell very Christmas-y!
5. Eco-Friendly Make-Up Wipes
In an effort to be more
eco-conscious, I wanted to find a way to take my make-up off and put toner on
without going through 100s of makeup wipes and cotton pads a year. I found
these wipes on Amazon,
and I have been loving them. They are soft and thick and a great size for using
to take makeup off your entire face. I love that they come in a laundry bag so
they don’t get lost in the wash. I bought two sets, so one is for storage and
one is for washing. Definitely a good invest in the long run!
I have so much to look forward to in
December. The Christmas season is certainly my favourite, and it is going to be
even more magical to get to go home.
That’s all I have for now. What have been
your favourite things this month?
