I\u2019m giving away two $500 Amazon gift cards today to celebrate Black Friday – be sure to follow me on IG for the details<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n

Hi friends! How are you? I hope you had an amazing Thanksgiving! We\u2019re here in Arkansas with the Pilot\u2019s mom, sis, and our niece and nephew. It\u2019s our first time spending Thanksgiving out here in years, and it\u2019s such a treat to have some time together. The girls were so excited to make a trip out here and are blown away by the trees and greenery. It\u2019s a stark contrast from our lovely brown and cactus-filled Tucson desert.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The Pilot was visiting his dad this week, who lives in Atlanta, so the girls and I flew out super early Thanksgiving morning and he flew from Atlanta to meet us in Little Rock. We rented a super cute lake house for the long weekend and are looking forward to movies, hikes, and exploring.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Well, we all know what today is for:<\/p>\n

SHOPPING.<\/p>\n

I LOVE Black Friday. I have fond memories of shopping with with mom and nana growing up. We\u2019d wake up when it was still dark and head to the stores as they opened. Even though I enjoy the frantic energy and chaos (in a weird way), here\u2019s something I enjoy even more:<\/p>\n

eating a piece of cold leftover pie, drinking coffee, and ordering everything online in my pajamas. Technology is a gift, I tell ya.<\/p>\n

I was able to scour some of the sales early, and I created this list of the best things I\u2019ve found!! I know every blogger and creator in the land is sharing their affiliate links today, so I just wanted to say thank you to those of you who choose to shop through my links. You\u2019re directly supporting our family and the work I do here on the blog, and I hope you know how much I appreciate it.<\/p>\n

Now, onto the good stuff!<\/p>\n

Amazon finds:<\/h4>\n

My beloved walking pad.<\/a> I use this every single day and love it to get in extra steps during the work day.<\/p>\n

Theragun for 33% off.<\/a> Perfect for those sore muscles!<\/p>\n

Peloton bike!<\/a> This is the best price I\u2019ve seen.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Amazing price on the new iPad<\/a>. This was Liv\u2019s only Christmas request (along with skincare and makeup).<\/p>\n

One of the most hyped up gifts of the season!<\/a>\u00a0I think the kids would go crazy for this.<\/p>\n

An Instant Pot at almost half off.<\/a> I use ours at least once per day.<\/p>\n

The best blender in all the land<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A cute mini skincare fridge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A packable puffer jacket<\/a>, which is water resistant and comes in so many colors.<\/p>\n

If you have a PS5 on your kids\u2019 (or husband\u2019s) list,<\/a> this is an awesome bundle.<\/p>\n

Sakara:<\/a> You can still use my link and code XOGINAH for 25% off at Sakara<\/a>. This is the best time to try their meal delivery!

Some more of my favorite things:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Erin Condren.<\/a> This is the planner I order every year on Black Friday for the following year. I\u2019m going on 7 or 8 years now (maybe longer??) and it helps me keep my life together (for the most part lol). Paper planners for life. I also order personalized stationery for myself and the girls, mailing return labels, and notecards.<\/p>\n

Hanna Andersson.<\/a> This is where we get our holiday PJs every year aaaand they\u2019re 50% off right now.<\/p>\n

Our Place.<\/a>\u00a0We switched over to nontoxic cookware years ago, and Our Place<\/a> continues to be one of my go-tos. The pan is used every single day and I also love the pot. They\u2019re also beautiful!<\/p>\n

Spanx set.<\/a> If you don\u2019t own this Spanx set yet, it 100% lives up to the hype. It\u2019s the softest dreamiest fabric and I\u2019m thisclose to ordering another set. They have dupes on Amazon, but from what I\u2019ve heard, it\u2019s worth the splurge because it\u2019s more tailored and structured. I wore it all day yesterday – on the plane and then for our feast! – and was comfy all day. Top is here<\/a> and bottoms are here.\u00a0<\/a>
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

J crew: 50% off almost everything.<\/a>\u00a0Love this classic cable knit sweater<\/a>, this everyday turtleneck,<\/a>\u00a0and these ballerina flats.<\/a><\/p>\n

gap: When I\u2019m writing this post, it\u2019s 40% off everything, but I\u2019m thinking it will jump to 50% today\u2026 I ordered some of the cutest stuff for P recently including this ruffle sweatshirt,<\/a>\u00a0velvet t-shirt<\/a>, pleated corduroy skirt<\/a>, polka dot tee<\/a>, and floral dress.<\/a><\/p>\n

Madewell:<\/a>\u00a0this is one of my go-tos for staples and denim.<\/p>\n

Anthropologie: 30% off<\/a>! Give me all the Somerset dresses.<\/a><\/p>\n

Are you shopping today and Monday??<\/p>\n
