The perfect collection of small items to add to your teen daughter’s stocking this Christmas 🎅🏻

All of these books absorbed me for weeks and are the recommendations I give to people who love nonfiction and people who *think* they don’t love nonfiction alike.

These are the products I’ve used for years. Makeup recommendations on this list especially suit a cool toned palette.

I’m 5’1, 105 lbs, 24 inch waist, small chested. Finding clothing that fits well can be a CHALLENGE. I own multiples of everything on this list because they reliably fit well with zero alterations.

From a certified hobby hopper, undertaking new hobbies can get expensive. These are the inexpensive materials I’ve used and loved to try out a new activity, craft, or skill.

Northern Virginia is filled with outdoor activities to do all year round. Each recommendation comes with a note about where to grab a meal, snack, or drink nearby after your outing.

Loudoun County is home to many smaller restaurants, bakeries, and shops that fly under the radar. These are places around Loudoun that I go to and recommend again and again.

Materials I’ve used year after year to make my teaching more effective. I’m low tech, paper-based, and focused on function over aesthetics. These supplies help me invest in those priorities.
