Where did November go? It was here and then it wasn’t! Below is a short list of things I loved about November 2024.

One. Out-and-Back trips. Out-and-back trips seem to become a monthly event for me! I have traveled over a quick weekend in the past few months. However, it took my November trip to make me really like them. You get the feeling of leaving and the feeling of a vacation in such a short amount of time. It is beneficial to go to a place you have already fully explored. An out-and-back trip hits the highlights without hitting the wallet harder.

Two. Recess Mood beverage. This year, I listened to my body and learned what makes me overly anxious. In the latter half of the year, I made the connection between my anxiety levels and caffeine. Limiting caffeine has improved my anxiety and overall worry levels so much! I recently tried drinks from the Recess mood line and I adore them. They help me unwind and chill out more. I tried their non-alcoholic line too and they are good. I haven’t tried the hemp version, yet. I highly recommend looking into them if interested!

Three. Investing in natural fiber clothing only. I learned that clothing made out of natural fibers will last longer than polyester clothing. It takes more work to find natural fiber clothing, but I think it is well worth the search. I find that clothing made out of cotton holds its shape better and fits better, too. Making the change has challenged me to not impulsively make purchases thus saving me money in the long run! I am not getting rid of anything made out of non-natural fibers since I might as well keep them since they have already been purchased. Going forward, I am making wiser purchases.

That is all I have for my list of loves for November 2024!
