Coveting at Uncovet

Are you in the middle of Christmas shopping or are you one of those showy types who got it all done early?  Today as I was sifting through my email(mostly filled with either shipping confirmations from Amazon or coupons and deals from internet stores) I came across an email from Uncovet and realized I hadn't browsed their selection in quite a while!  When the merchandise is ever changing, who knows what I've missed!?  If you've never checked out Uncovet, it's totally worth a parusing!  It's like Zulily for adults!  Full of great gifts, tees and home goods that were chosen by interior designers and specialists.  Today's browse made me all swooney and left me wishing I had spare bucks to blow on myself for Christmas!  Here are a few of the things I am coveting from Uncovet!

Sometimes you just have to give in...

It's Christmas time... time for good tidings and cheer.  Tis the season to be jolly,  Fa, la, la, la, la and all that mess.   Normally I am gung- ho and chipper, but out of the blue tonight as my head hit my pillow I got a little sad.  Unexplained sadness is the pits.  I got the sudden urge to take a bath and cry.  What in the world is wrong with me?  I am happy.  I have a great family, great friends, cute nieces and nephews, a guy I am bonkers about and a wedding coming up in 5 months.  My brain begins to race... searching for something I could be down about.  Maybe I need to take better care of myself?  Maybe I need more me time?  Maybe I wish time would slow down a little?  Maybe I am stressed about getting Christmas shopping done?  Probably all of the above.  I don't know, but normally this doesn't set in until later on in the winter.  Whatever the reason, the way I get through it is knowing IT. WILL. PASS.  For now though, I will give in to the unexplained sadness.  I will run a bath, play some tunes, let the tears roll and pray that tomorrow this feeling is gone.
