Merci Beaucoup | Thanksgiving
‍
As Thanksgiving approaches, I give thanks for the people, moments, rituals, and spells that lift me daily. These are the quiet enchantments—the ones that make ordinary days feel extraordinary.

My Family
Dylan | working his first job and absolutely slaying in the city
‍Griffin | working his first job, a rock-star salesman, always making me laugh with his daily stories
‍Blake | crushing his senior year, forever my biggest TikTok fan
‍Wolfie | always by my side, loyalty wrapped in a fashionable greige fur coat—fur-real, naturally. He wouldn’t have it any other way.
‍My parents | who always show up, no matter what

The Little Things That Flavor Every Day
• Daily Starbucks (Venti mocha, 0.5 pumps, skim, no whip, no room)
‍• Wolfie walks
• Long walks outside—nothing grounds me more than fresh air and open sky. A rabbit? A squirrel? Added bonuses…
• Journaling my gratitudes
• Listening to morning podcasts (Let’s Get Dressed, Lipstick on the Rim, The Skinny Confidential, Fashion People)
‍• My morning and evening skincare spell (Dr. Diamond, U Beauty, Rhode, The Skinny Confidential navy mouth tape — #obsessed)
‍• Perfume—a little garden distilled into a bottle

Travel & New Experiences
• Alaska with Dylan this summer — unforgettable
• Building a website from scratch with Webflow, Canva, and OpenAI    
Months later, I can finally say it: the learning curve was steep; the hours were long; the tears… plentiful. But the result? Worth it. Entirely.
‍
And Finally, gratitude for the simple luxuries
For the things that color each day — fashion, skincare, wellness, and the grounding ritual of creating through this blog.
‍
Merci beaucoup.
‍For all of it.
For all of you.
