Life Lately December 2025

Welcome back to Life Lately, the December edition! I am excited to recap what I’ve been up to in November and share my plans for December 2025 and life behind the scenes.

This Thanksgiving, I spent time with my family and made Molly Baz’s salty honey pumpkin pie.

Now that December is here, I’m taking a much-needed rest and focusing on planning fresh ideas for the new year. This month is all about recharging, reflecting, and getting inspired so I can start next year with clarity, creativity, and renewed energy.

Currently Eating

This fall, I’ve been enjoying a variety of comforting vegetarian recipes that make the season feel extra cozy, including roasted Japanese sweet potatoes, creamy tomato soup, and classic grilled cheese. These simple, flavorful fall dishes are perfect for cooler weather and add a delicious plant-forward twist to my weekly meals. From the natural sweetness of Japanese sweet potatoes to the rich comfort of tomato soup paired with a golden, melty grilled cheese, my vegetarian fall recipe lineup has become a warm and satisfying way to embrace the season.

Currently Watching

November and December have been packed with cozy nights of reality TV, and I’ve fully embraced the drama-filled escape of shows like The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Selling Sunset, and Selling the OC. These binge-worthy series have turned the end of the year into a relaxing mix of luxury real estate, jaw-dropping twists, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into intriguing lifestyles. Whether it’s the high-glam world of the Oppenheim Group or the captivating stories behind The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, my late-fall and early-winter TV lineup has made the season feel entertaining, cozy, and completely addictive.

Life Behind the Scenes

Firstly, this month, I’m focusing on intentional rest while also mapping out fresh content ideas for the new year. Secondly, taking time to slow down is helping me recharge creatively, reflect on what worked this year, and brainstorm new strategies for growth. As I plan my upcoming content, I’m prioritizing thoughtful topics, engaging formats, and ideas that align with my long-term goals. As a result, resting now ensures I can step into the new year energized, inspired, and ready to create impactful content that truly resonates.

Nala

As the year winds down, Nala seems to sense the cozy shift of the season, soaking up extra snuggles and settling into her favorite spots as we head toward a fresh new year. With each passing month, we’re also getting closer to a special milestone: Nala’s 5-year adoption anniversary in 2026. Reflecting on how much joy she’s brought into my life makes the end of the year feel even more meaningful, and looking ahead to celebrating her big anniversary adds an extra layer of excitement for the years to come.
