Merry Christmas, friends

This holiday season has been unlike any other I've experienced. It's my first year spending Christmas away from my family, and also my first Christmas in my new apartment. It would be easy to focus on the things this holiday season is missing, but I have so very much to be grateful for. Good friends, though we may be scattered. Jobs that make me happy. Goals, dreams, and plans that I'm truly excited about. Lots and lots of love. A place that finally feels like my home. A rich, well-balanced life.

Wishing every single one of you a blessed holiday!

Cheers,

Rachel

Sweet Lemon Mag - Holiday Issue

Sweet Lemon Magazine's holiday issue debuted today, and it is just perfection. Think tons of gift guides, holiday beauty tips, and all things festive.

 My favorite part? Adam Braun of Pencils of Promise is featured on the cover. Who doesn't love a handsome guy with a huge heart? At just 30 years old, he was named on of Wired's "50 People Who will Change the World."

I'm also so happy to be included as one of the contributing bloggers! You can check out my feature on page 76 of the issue.
