what a lucky girl

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Obviously, I love to eat, but I also love spending a day thinking about how lucky I am. I am very blessed in a lot of ways, and even though I try to remember that every day, it's not always easy when it's midnight and I still have half my math homework to get through. This is a day for me to say thank you, and to get on my (new, very snazzy, impeccably waterproof) raincoat, and go for a walk with my family. To tell my partner why he's my favorite, and to remind all my friends that I love them. To pet my dog, and clean my house, and invite more people over for dinner. To be happy, and pass it on.  

Thank you for hanging out with me,

 and for making this little piece of the internet the best place to be. 

Happy thanksgiving!

did I say thank you?

These photos are all very dramatic, and my life really isn't, but it is incredible and I have a lot to be thankful for. I'm not going to make you read the whole list, but I want you to know you're on it. I get to do really cool stuff becuase you guys keep reading about it, and liking it, and talking about it on your instagram stories. (I like to creep, ~sorry not sorry~)

For those of you who are American, may your turkey be bomb and your mashed potatoes even better.

For those of you who aren't, prepare for the videos of crazy Americans fighting for televisions that'll splash be on your evening news tomorrow.

Happy thanksgiving!

The title isn't a typo. It's Thanksgiving, so there's a 10/10 chance I am already full up to my eyes with food. I'm also full of thankfulness for so many things. Basically, I'm going to explode, and it could be either from thanks or mashed potatoes, and we may never know.

You guys ask me a lot if I "get used to this.". Here's the answer: no. nah. nope. never. I wake up every morning, and read your tweets, and your emails, and for you odd birds who use it, instagram dms, and I get so excited. I read them all to my mum, and  my friends, and my postman who complains about carrying my parcels up the ten foot drive. My main goal is to never get used to it. I am so lucky to have such a cool job where I get to talk about, and to, the things and people I love. That includes you. I know I say this every year, and I can feel you rolling your eyes young lady, but this year, I'm thankful for you. Thank you for reading, and commenting, and (hopefully) laughing. You're the real MVP.

So as you're sitting in your comfy pants watching Snoopy for the 900th time, just know I'm thinking about you. I am also sitting in my comfy pants watching Snoopy.

  idk dude autumn leaves are just awesome

 Happy Thanksgiving! 

(aka "Justina's favorite holiday")

If you are an American, and took a break from eating to read this,

stop it immediately.

This post will still be here, 

but I cannot guarantee your food will for much longer.

If you are not American, or have already passed into the semi-comatose, internet wandering state,

carry on.

I would like to take this opportunity to express how deeply thankful I am for you guys.

I make lists a lot, and on this years "Thanksgiving Thank You's" list, 

a lot of the things were rooted in the fact that you read this blog, like my instagram posts, 

and come up with clever 140 character responses.  

So thank you for being so exceptionally fabulous.

Now let's get back to these pies.

xx,

Justina

PS. (A)

Don't go to Walmart tomorrow. 

 pps.

if you don't watch this movie every year you're wrong
