2025 Black Friday // Cyber Week Sales + What We Did for Thanksgiving

      Happy Black Friday + Cyber Sales Weekend! I was reflecting while writing this post about how Black Friday for me has changed over the years. During high school and college, I never missed a Black Friday at the mall. I truly looked forward to it all year!! I even once had the experience of being on the other side when I had to work at my mall retail job on Thanksgiving night in 2016. 

     The last time though that I went physically out shopping at the mall for Black Friday was in 2021, my first holiday season living in Virginia Beach. Being in a mall setting just wasn't hitting quite like it used to. These days I really do feel like all of the best deals and steals are to be found online. I still very much enjoying shopping in-person throughout the year, but on Black Friday I prefer to be home and shopping from my laptop these days. 😊

Pretty foliage outside of work earlier this week!

      I hope also hope that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday! We had a very low-key one, but no complaints from me because we are in-between our two bigger trips of the year right now. We just got back from an anniversary trip to Mexico on Saturday night, and next Friday we leave for Maine for an early Christmas celebration with my family. With it being such a busy few weeks for us, I was glad to have a quiet long weekend at home for Thanksgiving! Ryan's parents hosted us at their home for the Thanksgiving meal yesterday. Today and tomorrow I plan to enjoy workout classes, online shopping, and catching up on house chores and more organizing projects following our move into this house last month!
