November favorites are here, albeit a little bit later than usual as we got through our Gift Guides for the season! November was kind of a strange month – I was living in a post-election haze for a bit, and some of the things that I bought I can’t share here yet because I like to follow the “a gift for you, a gift for me!” rule of shopping. But with that in mind, here are my favorites from November.

Oura Ring

I’ve had this for a few months now, so it’s not really new, but I finally feel like I’ve played around with the app enough that I have a better handle on the different data sections and what everything really means. I love being able to look at it to see if I need to take it easy that day, or if my sleep was as good (or as bad) as it felt. I don’t use it alone to track my periods, but I do like being able to see my temperature changes to get a hint of when it might be coming.

Rhode Lip Peptide

The weather here has been all over the place, vacillating between the 50s one day and the 20s the next. It’s been doing a real number on my allergies, and also on my lips! I’ve been keeping one of the Rhode lip peptides nearby at all times to help keep them from getting too cracked and dry. I love that it gives a little hint of color, too. This raspberry is my favorite, but you can’t go wrong.

Diptyque Sapin

I love candles year round, but I especially love burning them at the holidays – there’s something about a cozy, pine or fir tree scented candle that just gets me right into the holiday spirit. This Sapin one from Diptyque is new to me this year, and wow, it is incredible! It’s definitely a splurge, so I’ve been using it sparingly, but it is strong without being overpowering. It’s sold out almost everywhere, so if you’re interested, act fast!

Pumpkin Pie (for Breakfast)

My absolute favorite part about Thanksgiving is pumpkin pie for breakfast. This isn’t a day-of only tradition for me, either… it continues until the pie has run out. It just feels so festive and indulgent, and makes me feel like I’m really taking time off to celebrate and enjoy. It just makes me happy!

Wicked

Obviously, this wouldn’t be complete without mentioning Wicked. I had extremely high expectations, and the movie not only lived up to them, but actually even exceeded them! I was in awe for the entire film and can’t wait to see it again. I’ve also been listening to the soundtrack basically nonstop ever since leaving the theater!

Commodity Book Expressive

I picked this up during the Sephora Sale, and have been testing it out since then. It’s the perfect scent for this time of year – nice and deep and woodsy (I think it has both sandalwood and cedar wood), but with a subtle sweetness to it, too. If dark academia was a scent, I think this would be it! It’s a bit mysterious and I love it.

Lake Pajamas Ruffle Set

This style of pajamas from Lake is my absolute favorite that they make. The little elastic ruffle across the top is so cute, and the straps actually adjust small enough to fit me perfectly – a rarity! It’s a really nice loose, flowy shape, too – perfectly comfortable for lounging and sleeping. I’m sloooowly trading out my old Lake sets for this style!
