... and technically it's not even Black Friday yet
It's time to share my annual list of why my bank account continually depletes...
The list isn't as long as it's been the last couple of years - I've kept it to things I have ACTUALLY bought in the last 24 hours alone
Now... I usually have a special Aussie stores section, however this tariff situation has made it a little challenging. I'm still going to include it because some stores have US presence, but consider this my disclaimer that I'm probably going to share some amazing things that aren't going to be easy for you to get! Don't hate me.

So we received this guitar a year or so ago and it's a hit in our house. They just released a keyboard, so I decided to add this to our musical instrument collection this year too. I kind of want the hello kitty electric guitar too!

This has been life changing for me this past year. I make batch soups, then freeze in these cubes, pop them out and put them in a 2qt size ziplock bag. Boy does is it amazing when i'm struggling to figure out dinner and just quickly heat up a cube in the microwave. The 1 Cup trays are perfect for Kid size meals. Bonus - the founders are a family that lost their home in this year's LA fires... anything to support!
Food freezer trays are 39% off

I'm tempted to gate keep this brand, but I can't. I'm just obsessed. If you see me, I'm always wearing a pair of earrings from here. The sale is only 24 hours and they are releasing the code shortly. Sign up for their newsletter - if you miss out and need the code, reply to this newsletter - i'll probably have it by the time this newsletter is out!
Apparently 40% - i'm so so excited

Was this brand cancelled and I didn't know?! For some reason it's INSANELY cheap and now sold on Amazon. I have 4 pairs and can officially say I love it more than Lululemon etc etc. Highly recommend for $25!

Calling all Dog owners - this is HOT in Australia. I've seen it on any and every dog and I am obsessed. I love that you know the name of the dog if needed and the harness is perfect for your furry friends. I want a dog just so I can get this harness (and I would get a dog if it weren't for damn quarantine rules in Australia!).

What I am running to do this week...
|

I've always wanted to do a color analysis. Will I pay hundreds of dollars? Nope. Will I line up for hours? Also nope. But given this is free, i'll take a look and if the line is bearable, I'll be doing this
When: On now - not sure until when

What I am convincing my single friends to do...
|
|
I don't understand why my single friends are single, they're amazing! I LOVE the idea of a singles event at a local bookstore. Usually I only send things that are I've already sent it to all my friends, so hopefully it's not sold out before you send it to yours!
Should we host our own singles event for our friends!?!?!

One more thing I might go to...
|
|
Ronny is a fellow University of Melbourne Alumni... I actually think he went when I was there? Not that I know him. But he did star in an Aussie sitcom years ago that really nailed going to Melbourne Uni back in the day, so I have a soft spot for him.
When: December 7

What saved my sanity this week...
|
|
I was in desperate need of quiet. A drum set probably sounds like the last thing I'd want my Little One to use, but hear me out - you can plug in headphones! Life changed... this took up a solid 45 minutes of time in our house...

What we are reading this week...
|
|
Anyone else miss having a solid TV show on like The Office? This is a pretty great book to incorporate into bedtime and get in the spirit.

What I am watching ...
|
|
Alright... guys... sure, this got 0% on Rotten Tomatoes, but hear me out.
It deserves the 0%. But it's also pretty great. It's super camp, not serious, terrible writing and Kim K wears some pretty insane outfits... and i'm really into it. It's clearly not Law and Order, nor do I want to watch Law and Order. Sometimes I want something crazy mindless and silly (if not, stupid) to watch - what else is on TV these days that let's you escape to such ridiculousness? Try it... you're welcome. I 'watch' it while i'm doing whatever around the apartment.
