Blessed as a kardashian

You know when you feel late fall magically turn to early winter? The air transitions from crisp, to actually cold. The Starbucks cups are dressed in holiday cheer. The Hallmark holiday movies return. The weekends are spent hunting down your favorite cozy sweater. And then Mariah Carey officially announces the holiday season kickoff. It's a wonderful time of year. 

As I type this, I find myself enjoying a quiet weekend. It's rare to have a weekend like this all to myself. The extra me-time has my mind fantasizing about the holiday season and I can't wait for Thanksgiving stuffing, apple pie and the lovely feeling of spending time with dear family & friends. This year will be my first Thanksgiving without my family and my first with my boyfriend's family instead. I usually spend the holiday with my parents and best friend, Shaffat, who is my family too. Since I felt late fall turn to early winter today, taking time to reflect for everything I'm grateful for before the big day. After all, the grateful feeling is what this season and happiness is all about.  I'm feeling blessed as Kardashian for:

- quiet weekends (they are the best)
- Trader Joe's (best snacks & prices)
- vacays (I am still thinking about my summer trip to Greece. oh my...)
- dear friends (those people that really know you)
- books (the type you can't put down)
- Netflix (thank you for The Crown, GLOW, POSE, The Great British Baking Show and Friendsgivings)
- tea (if a cuppa can't cure it, we got a real problem)
- pups (dogs make everything better)
- planners (would legit be lost without mine)
- trashy reality shows (love my Real Housewives & Kardashians)
- my bed (Drake knows)
- positive attitude (always important)
- everything else (shelter, money, family, DAVE, you know...)

Last Thanksgiving with my Mom
