Hello, my dolls. Welcome back to another episode of Busy Yet Pretty. I'm your host, Jaden Haley. I hope you dolls have been doing lovely as always. And let me just say, winter is right around the corner because I'm looking outside right now and it is so gloomy. But honestly, I'm loving it. I feel like this is the time to rest, recoup and get ready for the new year. So I just love how it's a little bit slower pace. feel like. But anyways, love the winter. Also, I received my Spotify wrapped and I wanted to say, thank you guys so much for all the support. I was all smiles reading it. So it totaled to being 185 days on the charts as the peak position being number 12 on the charts, which is insane. And it was the top 10 podcasts for 43,419 people and top five podcasts for 28,608 people, and the number one most listened to podcasts for 6,648 people. It was listened in 124 countries for 869 minutes. So thank you dolls so much for the lovely support. I literally appreciate it more than ever. Your support means the world to me.

It was just so exciting getting to see that, but I'm ready for the new year and many new exciting episodes ahead. Right now, I'm currently sitting in my skims robe and it's 10 o'clock. I'm not ready at all, but I wanted to take this morning to being a little slower because even had breakfast in bed. Talk about a slow morning. But I wanted to take it a little slower because I have about five events today total and I'm going to be absolutely. so tired by the end of the day so I want to kind of save my energy for all that. So anyways, back to what I was saying. Guys, let's get into today's weekly review.

So this week, I have been non-stop working. I mean, I love being booked and busy, or as I should say, busy yet pretty. But honestly, I have been working so much, but it's felt really good. I love it. and I'm almost kind of craving a little rest time. So, you know, the 80-20 rule is so essential. But I've been loving working hard. And another thing that this week is I've been trying new vitamins out

and I feel really, really more awake and energized. And I'm not sure what vitamins I took to make me feel this awake or if it was even the vitamins. But I've been feeling a lot more energized lately, which I'm super happy about. Another thing in my weekly review is I set up my thoughts. Christmas tree, which I am just so happy because I have been wanting my own Christmas tree, which is not a mini little tree. This is an actual full-sized tree. And now I have my own and

it's pink and white. So I am just so obsessed. I also spend time with my family. I think it's so important to really spend time with your family when you don't live as close as you used to with them so I really try to soak up every minute with them when I am together. Okay lastly I think it's so important to take care of your health during the winter season because everybody's sick. I feel like every single person is sick and I am dodging it this year. Nobody is going to get me sick. I'm going to be healthy. We love a healthy lifestyle and of course you can't avoid everything but I'm trying my best to taking my air one vitamin C packets and just feeling good. Okay, moving on to my current obsession.

So my current obsessions start with iced macha. That's no surprise. But, you know, I do get all my waves of liking a drink. Okay. I always have a drink in hand. Well, of course water. I'm always drinking water, but I always have like a specialty drink, whether that's coffee, a chay latte, macha,

a green juice. It could be either or. And right now I am back full on my iced match era. And I mean, the air is always there. But like extra, extra loving it. I mean like multiple cups a day. But you know what? This girl has to slow down because it gave me kidney stones the last time I had multiple cups

and match a day. So I need to make sure that I tone it down a bit. I love making it at home, but one of my favorite macha places in L.A. is Alfred's. So good. It's classic. It's easy to get. And I love it. Some of my favorite places in L.A. to get macha is Alfred's. It's a classic. And I just like getting it. It's really good. And my all-time favorite is Maru in downtown. And it's seriously so good. I think it's in the arts district. But it's absolutely amazing. I don't really go downtown. that much so I don't get it but whenever I do I always have to get maroo.

Another current obsession is my Christmas tree. As I said, I am obsessed with it. It's literally pink and white. Like I cannot believe how cute it is. And I have this really cute just bow. Oh my gosh. It's so cute. Go look at my Instagram.

If you haven't are ready to go see my Christmas tree. But another current obsession has been waking up early. I love waking up early. I've always been a morning person. but lately since moving really just took the energy out of me and I feel like I'm still trying to get my energy back but I have been waking up around like seven every day but now I'm finally starting to go back to 6 o'clock and hopefully 5.30 soon because I love early mornings. Okay another current obsession is anything mint and peppermint. I literally love mint flavor,

peppermint flavor, the smell of it every single thing that has to be. do with mint. I love it for some reason. I'm just so obsessed with it this year. Okay, lastly, my current obsession is listening to Christmas piano music. I just love classical, pretty relaxing Christmas music on throughout the day. I think it's so nice and it's really nice because don't get me wrong. I do love me some Christmas upbeat music, but when it has to do with like me working, I will get way too carried away singing. So I have to just have some classical focus Christmas music on that I absolutely love. So that's been a current obsession.

Okay, moving on to my goal of the week. So my goal of the week is to continue my morning workouts. As I said, my schedule has been a little off with waking up early. But since I have been waking up early, I've been finally able to get back on to working out in the mornings. So I want to start continuing that because I feel like it gives me a lot of energy throughout the day when I start my morning off with a workout. Okay, another current obsession is Christmas shopping. I love to shop for Christmas things. I'm talking about decor.

Of course I love Christmas shopping for people. Do not get me wrong, but I am talking about decor. I love shopping for anything Christmas related. I think it's so fun. I want to get fully into the Christmas spirit. and holiday season this year. Another goal of the week is to journal before bed. I really like journaling before bed because, one, it's away from blue light, which is on

your phone. You can really just like decompress. But I also want to start journaling because I feel like it really helps me manifest better when I journal. So that's another thing I want to do. And lastly, I really want to cook a new recipe. But I want to start cooking more recipes. I feel like I kind of stick to the same old things.

So that is another goal of the week. Okay, guys, moving on to a self-love question to ask yourself. So today, I want you to ask yourself, do you wake up excited for each day? If not, list reasons why and there's solutions. I really like this question because it helps determine why you're not waking up happy. If you are, that is great. And I want you to list the reasons why you are waking up happy. Okay, next up is an apple podcast.

podcast review. This one is from Kylie Alexa. Kylie said, I adore this podcast. I always tune in whenever I'm doing homework or cleaning. I'm so proud of how far you've come along, Jaden. XOXO. Kylie, that is so sweet. Thank you so much for the sweetest review. I appreciate it so much and I love how you told me how you listen to the podcast because I find that so interesting. And let me just say, homework and cleaning is a great way to listen to the podcast. I love you so much and I adore all the reviews. Please feel free to leave an Apple podcast review if you'd like to be featured on next week's episode.

Okay, lastly, is the daily affirmation. So today's affirmation is, The secret to having it all is knowing you already do. That is one of my favorite affirmations because I live by that myself and I've seen so many amazing things come out of using that affirmation. So I really want you to journal that and really soak that in. Okay, guys, let's get into today's episode.

I want to talk about how this year is a pink and white Christmas. Yes, you heard me right, a pink and white Christmas. I love pink and white, as you guys know, but I know you dolls love pink and white as well. So why not talk about a pink and white Christmas, 2013 Victoria's Secret Winterberry holiday? I'm so excited for this episode. We're going to dive into winter favorites, clothing, holiday essentials, home decor, and more. And before we begin, I wanted to say that all of these items that I'm going to mention are linked over my modem.

So it's easy for you guys to go shop it. And you guys can find all the direct links to everything that I'm listing in this episode. Geez, my allergies has made my voice raspy. Anyways, as I was saying, let's get into today's episode. So I love Christmas. I love the holiday season. Something about the holidays just makes me feel like warm and cozy and happy and like, I guess like a really childhood, happy memory feeling.

So I have been loving this holiday season and I want to really embrace every last second of it. During the winter months, I love to just stay in and be cozy. Don't get me wrong. It's really good to also go out during the days so you don't get too used to staying inside during the winter. But I really do love to just kind of get warm and cozy in my own space and kind of like catch up on things and be ready for the new year coming. I feel like the winter and holiday seasons is perfect for a time to both relax and catch up. So for some of my winter favorites that I want to share with you guys is starting off with one of my favorite, favorite, favorite winter items, which is a hot water bottle. I know that sounds weird, but it's a hot water bottle, like hot pack that you can like fall asleep with.

It's really warm. Or let's say you're having period cramps. Use the hot water bottle. It's so nice. You can just put hot water in this like large water bottle in the cutest part. is it has a fuzzy sweater or whatever sweater that you wanted to have but you can get like a fuzzy pink sweater for it. Oh my gosh. It's so cute. But I haven't linked so you guys can see what I'm talking about if you haven't heard of a hot water bottle. It's a nice way to keep cozy during the

winter season. Another winter favorite is ginger lemon tea. I love ginger lemon tea not only because it's nice and like warm. But I love it because it really helps digestion. And that can be something that honestly helps everyone. So I really recommend ginger lemon tea. It's really nice. I mean, it's a picky taste. If you don't like ginger or lemon, you may not love it, but I love it.

It really helps me feel good. And I just love to have it after dessert in bed. Okay, another winter favorite is Christmas movies before bed. I've been obsessed. with Christmas movies. I'm not one to watch TV or movies. I know I'm boring, but I just choose to go on Pinterest instead.

And lately, Christmas movies has been something I've been looking forward to every night. So I have been doing that literally every single night. Okay, another winter favorite is peppermint candles. I got this pink peppermint candle. I think the name was called like Candy Can Lane or something really cute, but it was like this peppermint mint candle. It smelled so good

But honestly any peppermint or mint candle is perfect for the holiday season Because it just fills the air with like a nice crisp cold like minty scent And I just love it so much And also I love any mint and pepper flavoring So whether that's in a Starbucks drink Love some Irish cream cold foam which is like the peppermint one And I just love anything minty right now Not sure why but I'm obsessed

Simple Mills, mint chocolate crackers are the best thing ever. I've been having them every single day. Those are also minty. I don't know what's up with me, but just like a little minty taste and smell just gives me the ultimate holiday feeling. Another winter favorite is just the gloomy weather outside. I know it's easy for a lot of people to fall into winter depression. And of course, not everybody can help that. But I think it's really good to try to embrace.

staying in and try to embrace the season and the weather rather than seeing it as negatively that you can't go outside or something. Put on a Christmas movie or you want to decorate your house or if you want to bake something or cook, make it a positive that you're staying in in the winter cold days rather than seeing it as a negative the best you can. Another winter favorite is to get comfy clothes on and just sit by the fireplace. Okay, I don't have a fireplace. let me backtrack that. Um, correction. Put on the fireplace landscape on my TV.

But, you know, if you have a real fireplace, put the fireplace on, sit by it. Or if you don't like me, then put it on TV and hear the crackle of the fireplace from your TV. And just imagine it. Really tune into it. But to get comfy, listen to music and just, as I said, embrace the whole thing. season. Another winter favorite is cinnamon. I know that's a fall thing, but I think cinnamon is year-round, of course. But lately, I've been loving it extra, putting it in my oatmeal. It still gives like that holiday feeling. Another winter favorite that I'm thinking of that

kind of goes in the style category, but I love some pearl nails. I know I'm late to the train of the glazed donut nails, but I like calling it like pearl nails rather than chrome. I don't love the word chrome that much. So I like thinking of like a pearl nail. I just think they're so cute, so classy and pretty for the winter. It just like fits perfectly. Something we're going to do this winter season is cycle through items. I think it's so good to cycle through things that you have to get rid of because then you can allow more new things to come into your life or things that you don't use as much and either donate them, sell them, whatever you want to to do, but allow more things to be open because less is more. And my mom taught me that because she is

like an organization queen. And I am a hoarder queen. I'm not going to lie. Like I love me 100 fortune cookie papers to keep for no reason. Like I love to clutter. It's awful. But I do. I love it. But I also realize it kind of stresses me out because I feel like I have too many things and nowhere to put anything. So if there's something that you're not using, then I really recommend getting rid of it, especially because the holiday season's coming up. Maybe you'll get some new items and new gifts that you can put into your room. So you want to have that space. And I just think it's really good to kind of cycle through what you have. Okay. Something that I think is just so nice for the winter is waking up early. This is obviously personal preference. But I think waking up early in

the winter is really good, not only because it's fun too, but it also. It's always, Also can help your mood a lot because it's really easy to just want to stay in bed because when you wake up and you look outside, it's still dark outside from the gloomy weather and kind of just want to continue laying in bed. I think it's really good to wake up regardless of what it looks like outside. Get your morning started because I promise you that's going to make you not feel so sluggish and feel like you actually are having a day rather just sitting in bed all day. So that's something that I definitely love for this winter season. Another winter favorite is Summer Friday's moisturizer. I think their moisturizers are so hydrating and I love them because during this winter season, my skin is so crackly.

Another one I love is Dr. Barbara Sturm. She has great skincare as well. I am really sensitive to certain ingredients and I feel like those ones have worked really well for me. but I think it's really necessary to get a good moisturizer and serum because the weather can definitely just dry out your face. Along with drying out your face, my cuticles and like hands get really dry, especially my cuticles.

And if you get acrylics or gel, it's really good to use cuticle oil every single day. I do it every single night before bed. And it's helped my nails stay on for literally over a month where I'm like embarrassed. I'm like I have to go get them done because like they're staying on. They're fine. They're not coming off.

I'm like, geez. Like it really does work and help when you use cuticle oil. So I use the NCLA one. I linked it for you guys to see. Everything's linked again that you guys can check out. But I use that every single night. And it makes my cuticles so hydrated. I also use the necessary lotion every single night on my hands.

And my hands have been so hydrated. And one of my favorite things about it is it's fragrance-free, which really helps not irritate your skin. Okay, another thing is my mistyore perfume. I feel like winter just calls for a good old perfume. And I feel like mistyore is such a winter scent. I don't know why. I know it's kind of like a spring scent, but for some reason, it just smells really wintery to me. and I had just been loving all the mistyure perfumes and fragrances using them every single day.

Another winter favorite, of course, is the nutcracker. Don't get me started with nutcrackers. I love them. I think they're the cutest thing ever. I have a crush on nutcrackers. Why? I don't know. They're just my current obsession for this year.

Like literally, I look at them and I'm like, I need you in my house. Like, this sounds so weird. talking about like decor, like the Nutcracker statue figures, by the way. Anyways, I just love the cute little nutcrackers and I am just so excited to see the nutcracker. I'm seeing it this week. So I am over the moon about it. I was invited to the first opening night to see the Nutcracker and I am just head over heels

for the show. So I'm very excited. Also, something that I really recommend when you are trying to make a little bit of. little Christmas wish list or holiday wish list this year is use Google slides. I've been using Google slides for the past two years now, I think, for my Christmas list. And it's been really easy to navigate because it makes it an easier time for whoever's viewing your list. You can put some like photos next to it, links, and kind of explain better than just a notes app list. If you guys want to see an example of the Google slides,

Christmas wish list that I have, let me know. And I will show you. share over my Instagram. I just think it's really easy to organize doing it that way. Another winter favorite is blush. I feel like blush is just always a favorite to me, but I feel like blush during the winter is really cute because it can give you like a little chilly look. And I think it looks really cute when you add some like blush to make you look chilly. I don't know. I think it's cute. But some of my favorite blushes are the rare beauty one, glossier and the say beauty blush. and those are just my favorites. And I know I talked about this a little bit ago, but don't sleep all day.

And I promise you not sleeping all day long during the winter because I know it's easy to. It's going to prevent the winter blues. I have an episode I made in January on winter blues. If you want to go check that out, I'll definitely do another one very soon. But it's really nice to try to embrace the season rather than look at it as a negative. Okay, guys, now moving on to style. and clothing for this holiday season. So something that I personally have been loving is earmuffs.

I think earmuffs have been one of my favorite things for the winter for the past few years. And I think they're cute, warm, cozy and adorable. I know there's some that have like jewels on it. My friend Chloe makes the cutest earmuffs ever. Her brand Clow World is adorable. And they're literally earmuffs with like jewels on them. my gosh, they are the cutest ever. I am obsessed with them.

But I have been loving earmuffs. And another thing is, I've been loving sweatsuits. I feel like sweatsuits are honestly just so comfy. I used to never be a sweatsuit girl, but now I have been wanting to wear sweatsuits all the time because when you're at home in the winter days and just want to throw something on, it's really nice to wear that because it's cute, comfortable, and I just love it. My favorite one is from the Pilates class. I love their sweatsuit set.

It's adorable. Another holiday style favorite is neutral colors. I have just been loving neutral colors this year for some reason. I just think they are just so classy and I love them. So I've been wearing a lot of neutral colors lately and I think they're just so pretty. Okay, this is one of my favorites. I'm wanting one for Christmas myself, but it's a Bolero shrug sweater. and it's like one of the ballet sweaters where it's just sleeves.

There's like no shirt to it. It's just sleeves. Think of it like a sweater, but it's only for your arms and it like attaches in the back. But I just think it's so, so cute, so classy and adorable. It's really nice to throw on on your way to a workout and I just think they're so cute. Okay, another winter favorite for style is faux fur coats. Of course, faux fur, but I just love fur coats. I think they're so pretty, so adorable, the cute little, like, slick back bun or even

like having your hair down with curls. Anyway, I just love a fur coat. Puffers are so cute. It's a classic, but I just love a good puffer. It keeps you warm and cozy. It's classy. It's cute. Adorable.

And, of course, one of my all-time favorites is off-the-shoulder sweaters. I adore off-the-shoulder sweaters. My Victoria's Secret one, the iconic pink and white one that I have, is my first. favorite but lately i've been trying to look for more so i can try some new ones out but i love off the shoulder sweaters you can never go wrong with a cute blazer set love love love blazers during the winter bows in your hair bows are gorgeous classy and cute a silk bow to be exact always love the chenelle black and white look for winter especially with a nice red lip i love red lipstick red lipstick Red lipstick is one of my favorite ways to just dress up an outfit.

It's so bold, so beautiful, and I love it. Another thing is kitten heels. Kitten heels are my favorite. I have been wearing them every single day. And also, kitten heels with a nice silk skirt. Don't get me started. That is the cutest pair. Imagine a long silk skirt with some kitten heels and then a little white top.

So adorable. Another thing that is definitely a little. by preference, but silver jewelry in the winter is so cute. I am still trying to decide if I want gold or silver in the winter. I am a gold jewelry girl, but silver in the winter, I feel like just looks so icy and pretty, and I don't know. Okay, I'm moving on to home decor because I think home decor is ultimately the best part of winter. But one of my favorite things is nutcrackers.

As I said, nutcrackers are my favorite. it. So there's a lot of cute nutcracker decor at Home Goods, World Market, Target, all those places. I just love a cute little nutcracker. I have a few nutcracker ornaments. I'm a nutcracker little statue in the bathroom and one in the kitchen. So obsessed. As I said, peppermint candles are the go-to home decor essential for the winter. And I think candles are the best thing to get. So definitely grab yourself a candle this winter in holidays. season. As I said, I'm going pink and white this Christmas. I just think pink and white is the cutest color combo. I love a pink and white Christmas. So pink and white has been my absolute

favorite and I've decorated my apartment in my tree pink and white for Christmas and I'm just so obsessed with it. If you're looking for really cute ornaments this year, I really recommend World Market. They have the cutest like candy themed ornament line. and you know I bought all of the candy-themed ones. And also Target has really good ornaments as well. For my star on the tree, I topped it up with a little beige bow, actually. For some reason, I feel like a star was not my jam. So I decided to do a cute little beige bow on the top of my tree,

and it's flowing throughout and to the bottom of my tree, and I think it's beautiful. So I have been loving that, I think it's a really good idea to do that if you don't love stars on your tree. Also, it's a really nice makeshift way if you have some extra ribbon. Also, this is really funny, but I used a blanket as my tree skirt. I don't love a lot of the tree skirts that I was looking at, so I decided to use a blanket. And it's the exact same material as like the skims, like Sherpa look.

But I just put like a Sherpa blanket underneath it and it looks so cute. Of course, flowers. Flowers is adorable to always keep in during the holiday season. I love me a white flower bouquet in my apartment because I think it just looks so cute and pretty. And lastly, I want to tell you guys that less is more. Having a simple, clean, classy decor can be so beautiful. If you like your clean and simple look, then definitely declutter your area. Get ready to add some new decor into your space.

and enjoy a clean, simple look. I hope you dolls enjoy this episode so much. I always enjoy talking about the winter season and just holiday decor, holiday style, and just overall winter favorites.
