I can't believe Thanksgiving is less then a week away at this point & both the salon & my personal life are kicking into high gear!

But I'm certainly not complaining... I've learned by now through the years that I actually love all the excitement & will be totally bummed out when things die off after the holidays.

I LOVE having things to be pumped about & obsess over & the holidays give me tons of opportunities for this!

So without further ado here are the five things I'm obsessing over this week.

AUTUMN ENTRYWAY TABLE

I'm so mad at myself because I just realized I didn't share any pics of my entryway for Halloween!!!! And I just re-did it for Thanksgiving so I'm just gonna share that now anyway before I switch it out for Christmas. Maybe I'll do a post where I show the space decorated for each time of the year... what do you guys think about that?

WILLY WONKA

This week was the first show in my broadway series subscription & the only one for 2018... all six other shows are next year. And I'm not gonna lie... this was the one I was least looking forward to seeing & I was so pleasantly surprised. I'll take any excuse to visit the beautiful Academy of Music but I also loved the show. I was scared it would be just for kids but people of any age would enjoy it for sure.

"THE GREAT ALONE"

I know... I'm a little late to the party on this one too but what can I say... I don't have the time to read that I used to. I loved "The Nightingale" which was also by this author & I love this one too so far... I can't put it down! Have you guys read it?

BLACK FRIDAY PRESHOPPING

Gone are the days you have to wait for Black Friday to get a deal... I get emails everyday letting me know of all the presales & I'm scoring some major deals! Don't get me wrong... I'll probably still be out shopping that weekend a little but now you can get most of those same deals right now! Oh and a lot of my friends are looking at the Black Friday deals online & on apps but I'm old fashioned I guess.... there's just something about getting that paper off the front porch at my parent's house where I spend Thanksgiving & going through all the circulars in front of the parade on TV... what can I say... it's just tradition!

PUMPKIN PIE CHEESECAKE DIP

I made this for a little get together I went to & even though I've had it many times before it's kinda like that buffalo dip on game day... I just never get sick of it!

So there you have it.

What do you think about this week's 5 things... or what are you currently obsessing over?
