The day after Christmas is always bittersweet because you’re bummed that Christmas is over, but yet you have a bunch of new toys to play with or money or gift cards to spend. I’ve decided to go with the “treat yo-self” route because today kicks off the “get what you really wanted for Christmas” sale. I only asked for baby gifts this year and I’m so grateful for them, but there are still a few things out there that I want for myself. If you’re looking to treat yourself to some new goodies today after all of the gift giving you just did, be sure to scroll through my top purchases of 2019 along with some last minute New Year’s Eve outfit ideas!
