Favorite Show: The Handmaid's Tale
from Time.com
Here is a summary from IMDB:
A religion-based autocracy has taken over most of the United States, renaming the country Gilead. In this country, women are second-class citizens. Anyone trying to escape is punished. One such person is June, who is captured while trying to escape with her husband and child and is sentenced to be a handmaid, bearing children for childless government officials. As a handmaid, June is renamed Offred. This is her story.
This show had me absolutely HOOKED. Elizabeth Moss won a Golden Globe for her incredible portrayal of June/Offred and has won Best Television Drama (the first streaming-service original series to do so). I'm already halfway through season 3! It's definitely hard to watch, but I am obsessed with the story.
Favorite Album: evermore

2020 was a great year to be a Taylor Swift fan. She released two surprise albums this year, folklore in July and evermore in December, and they've been her best albums yet. This album also features collaborations with HAIM, The National, and Bon Iver. My favorites are "tolerate it", "champagne problems", and "no body, no crime".
Favorite Website: Rolling Stone

This year, I really got into music history of all genres. I have found that Rolling Stone has been one of the best sources for learning about this specific topic.

I have really dry, sensitive lips, especially in the winter. I got this stuff for Christmas and it has been so helpful! It feels like lip gloss and smells so yummy. I wake up in the morning with plumped, moisturized lips. I cannot recommend this enough!
Favorite Skincare Product: Origins Ginzing Energy-Boosting Gel Moisturizer

This moisturizer has really helped with my dry skin. Every time I put some on my face, I instantly feel more awake and energized. I do not understand how it works, but this is a really great product!
Favorite Treat: Terry's Dark Chocolate Orange

I am shocked that I went almost 20 years without eating one of these. I know I am late to the game, but I am currently on my 3rd one this holiday season.I have also tried the milk chocolate, but I think the dark chocolate compliments the citrus a little better. YUM!
