Happy Friday! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday last week! Michael and I had a great time in Baton Rouge. While I love to travel, I was so happy to be home this week! This is the first week since October that I’ve been home in Houston for the entire week (and weekend ahead too!). It was nice to be back in a routine. The routine will be short lived as I’m heading to NYC on Tuesday, but nonetheless, it was nice to be able to work from my home office all week long!

Things to Note

Tis the season for Gift Guides! If you need gift ideas, check out my Gift Guides:

Discount Codes

I currently have a few discount codes for some of my favorite services and products. I share these on Instagram Stories often (and try to save them in my highlights), but I figured I’d share them here too in case you missed them!

*Kendra Scott // I’m so excited to share that I have a Kendra Scott discount code for you for the holidays! You can use code KSHOLIDAY2019 for 20% OFF any purchase of $100 or more!

Winc Wine // I’ve been using Winc, a wine delivery service, for the last few months. I love that they essentially pick out wines for you, based on a fun quiz, and ship them straight to your door! I usually end up switching a bottle or two out for something I’ve been specifically wanting to try, which you can totally do too! You can use my link to get $22 off your first order, which equals out to $39 for 4 bottles of wine! Click here to place your order: winc.mivh.net/cobalt

Rent the Runway Unlimited // I’ve been using my RTR Unlimited collection like crazy over the past few months! Weddings, Christmas parties, my upcoming trip to NYC, you name it, the Unlimited service is great! Use code RTRASHLEE for $200 off a 2 Month Trial ($100 off your first and second month) of RTR Unlimited. That’s more than a 60% discount!! I love using RTR Unlimited! You can read all about my experience with the service here!

Equilibria CBD // I’m just dipping my toes into the world of CBD, but I finally found a CBD company that I really trust, and I ‘m excited to be partnering with them. Equilibria is a women owned CBD company based in Chicago. I’ve been using the pain relief cream on my hips and calves after long runs while training for the half. One of the things I love most about Equilibria is that when you make a purchase, you are put in touch with a dosage specialist who can help you figure out what CBD dosage is best for you and your needs! You can use code cobaltchronicles for 15% off your first order!

Daily Harvest // My go-to, easy to make, at-home smoothies! These are great and so convenient! I love that they help me to mix up my smoothie game. When I’m left to my own devices, I tend to make the same combination smoothie day after day. Use code COBALT for $25 off your first order!

Territory Foods // The BEST already prepared, meal delivery service! If you’re in an area where Territory delivers (hey DC, Dallas, and more!), my code still works for $50 off across your first two orders ($25 off each order). Use code COBALT – I’m still lobbying for them to make their way to Houston!

WEEKEND PLANS

This is our first weekend home in quite some time! I’m excited to hit up hot yoga tonight, pop on a Christmas movie, and wake up in my own bed Saturday morning! The SEC Championship game (LSU/Georgia) is this Saturday so I’m sure we’ll be doing something low key for the game. Other than that, I’m excited to wrap up my Christmas shopping from the my couch, get ahead on a little work, and relax!

FAVORITE THINGS THIS WEEK

A few of my favorite things this week!

Pout Protecter Lip Care Set // I shared this on Instagram Stories this week. The Lip Polish (lip scrub) is BOMB. It’s great for dry winter lips! It feels amazing and works wonders to remove dry skin and hydrate. The set comes with the Lip Polish, Lip Balm, and Lip Gloss (I use the balm and gloss daily!).

Camo Amazon Leggings // This pair of leggings lives up to the hype! They are SO similar to the Lululemon Align leggings (I have a couple of pairs of the Align, so I can truly attest!). They’re high waisted, buttery soft, and are a fraction of the cost of the Lululemon pair. They’re available in lots of colors and patterns. I have the Army Green Splinter Camo pattern and LOVE them. I’m eyeing the Deep Grey Camo next! I wear a size small.

Kendra Scott Walker Statement Necklace // I wore this chunky gold necklace to a Kendra Scott event this week, and love how it can be styled so many different ways! I’ve worn it to weddings, on date nights, and with more casual jeans and a tee! It’s a great gift for yourself or for someone special! Use my code KSHOLIDAY2019 for 20% off!

Have a great weekend!
