The Grinch Meal At McDonald's Has SOCKS

I always am thrilled when McDonald's releases a special meal. I've tried them all! And when I heard about The Grinch Meal, I knew I'd be ordering it as well.

It released December 2nd, and check out the box! I thought it was adorable. I do feel for all the workers who have to put together all the boxes though. I am sure it's a pain, so thank you. 

The meal cost me $11.99, but it depends on your area on how much yours will be. It comes with a Big Mac of a 10 piece nugget. I went for the nuggets. 

This is everything that you'll get in the box:

If you're wondering what on Earth the McShaker bag is, well, let me explain. You add the fries and the Grinch salt, and you SHAKE. It's a fun activity, truly. It confused my cats, honestly. They were like, okay, this lady has officially lost it. 

I only added a little bit of fries and seasoning to be sure I'd like it. I do enjoy pickles but I thought, hmm, would I like my FRIES to taste like that? But I was pleasantly surprised, because I liked the flavor. 

And I can't forget the star of the meal: the socks!

I was excited to see what color I'd get. There is green, blue, red, and yellow. All different designs.

I got BLUE! And I loved the color, because the socks reminded me of snow. 

They are a nice material, so Grinch fans will be thrilled. 

Would I get another Grinch Meal? Yes! I did like the Grinch salt and the socks are sweet. These are only available for a limited time and they seem to be going fast, so if you want one, hurry into McDonald's. 

Will you be getting a Grinch Meal? 

Hey, It's Okay

I got this idea from Glamour magazine. You can link up any day of the week. All you have to do is make a list of what you're okay about. Simple! Please do not link up a post that has nothing to do with Hey, It's Okay. It's rude and I'll delete the link.

HEY, IT'S OKAY....

.....to have loved having the kids home for Thanksgiving break. We had the best time and ate a lot of delicious food.

.....to have explored downtown. Their holiday lights are out, so they were pretty to see. Plus my daughter had to film The Menger Hotel for a school project, so that was neat considering it's haunted. 

......to have lugged out all the Christmas decor and set it up. That can get overwhelming because there are SO MANY PLASTIC BINS but I got it done. Plus the outdoor stuff is set up as well! Yay!

......to might start wrapping gifts this week so I don't leave it all until the last moment. 

.....to love this smiley ketchup plate that they give you at Johnny Rockets. It's so cheerful.

Inexpensive Gift Ideas For Everyone On Your List

The holidays are here and it's time to shop for gifts. In this economy, there isn't exactly a ton of extra money. The tariffs are increasing all the prices, so things aren't as affordable as they used to be. I have some ideas for everyone on your list that aren't too pricey. 

I love crystals, and many people in my life do as well. White Lotus has so many natural beauty products available crafted from BioActive ingredients. Everything is vegan, organic, and cruelty-free. Everything made my skin feel soft and smooth. Plus the packaging is gorgeous! I picked jade as my crystal, but there are other options as well. I received the roller, the activated crystal face serum, the organic green tea face oil, and the jade crystal gua sua. Shop HERE. 

I absolutely love this body wash from RA Body Wash. It comes in a variety of colors, so there is the perfect one for whoever is on your list. What is amazing about this, is that it makes it easy for those who find showering to be difficult. Sometimes people with special needs but have struggle, so this is easy to rinse. There is little to no scent, quick rinse and wipe off, and light minimal lather.  Get it HERE.

If there's a Gilmore Girls fan in your life, pick up this ornament at Hallmark. It's less than $10 and you can purchase it HERE. 

I spotted this light up sign at Kohls at it cracked me up because it's so true. I like people, but I also like when they leave at a respectable hour. Buy it HERE.

I love to read, so I'm always excited when I get a book to read. If someone is into historical fiction and Henry VIII,  Philippa Gregory (who wrote The Other Boleyn Girl!) has a new book out called Boleyn Traitor. It's about Jane, who was married to Anne Boleyn's brother--she escaped with her life when the Boleyn's fell out of favor and is back as a lady-in-waiting to the newest Queen Katherine Howard. Will she survive when all that crumbles down as well? Get the book HERE.

With the way the US is going, this ornament is perfect. Get it HERE. 

Another gift for a book lover! I loved this journal. I found this at Target for less than $10.

Here's another ornament for the Gilmore Girls fan. It's the famous gazebo and even better, when you press the button, you'll hear the theme song from the show. Get it HERE. 

This book is perfect to teach kids that families come in all sorts of ways. Even better, it's only $5. Buy it HERE.

Here's to being able to find something for everyone on your list!
