A lot has been happening this week y’all! It’s almost like the new year started this week, not a few weeks ago. I am beyond exhausted with the week I had, but I know my hard work will pay off over the next few months! Due to the crazy week, my “weekly notables” is going to be more “life updates” that happened this week, since there were many of them lol. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy it!

Yesterday I turned 22 – say what?! Yeah, I officially feel old haha. But in all seriousness, I had such a great 21st year and I am so excited to see what is in store for 22. I already have so much to look forward to including wedding planning, completing my 5th half marathon, my bestie having a baby, and so much more!

Last year I shared 21 things I learned before turning 21. Today I’m going to be sharing 22 things I learned before turning 22! Fingers crossed there aren’t too many repeats. 

If you missed my introduction to this series last week, go ahead and read this post. If you already read it, welcome back! I’m excited to share some stuff this week…

So I didn’t do a formal “What I Got For Christmas” YouTube video like I did last year. But that’s because y’all voted for me to do it on IGTV, so you can watch that here if you’d like.

Since I didn’t do a formal video, I wanted to share a few of my favorite items I got with y’all! I didn’t ask for anything this year, so needless to say I had a very surprising Christmas. I feel so blessed and I’m so excited to enjoy all of these items. 

I did one of these posts for 2018’s holiday season, and I really wanted to write another one this year! Maybe it will inspire your gift giving for 2020, or maybe you’re just curious like myself haha.

Like last year, I’m just going to be doing my top 5 gifts I gave. This should go without saying, but this isn’t meant to brag in any way, and I am blessed that we were able to give some great gifts this holiday season. Let’s get into it!
