Hello, friends! I hope you had a peaceful Thursday, whether you were celebrating Thanksgiving with family or just having an ordinary day.

The holiday season is upon us, along with the frenzy of shopping for gifts.

If you are looking for sales on ethically-made goods, remember to check out Fair Fashion Finds on Tumblr or Facebook. I’ll be posting some of my favorite deals there throughout the weekend (with some breaks for family time, of course!). So far some of the best deals I’ve seen are the 40% off sales from PACT Apparel and Liz Alig!

Need gift ideas? There are some great shopping and gift guides out there this year. Here are some I’m excited to share with you.

As you go about your weekend — shopping, hanging with the fam, spending solitary time in thought — feel free to carry with you these reminders. I need them desperately; perhaps you will find something in them as well.

~Anything worth doing is worth doing so-so. Progress not perfection. Jesus loves you.~

Peace, my friends.
