We are starting a new month, friends! Are you ready for what November has to offer? I am!

My hope is that this month is filled with wonderful opportunities, lots of smiles and laughter, and a ton of blog-tastic moments!

I’ve created a November calendar just for you! Be sure to grab it at the end of this post!

I’d love to hear from YOU on what you would like to see more of here at Make Life Marvelous! I am here to write content that matters to you! 🙂

 

1. Halloween

 

Halloween was yesterday and I had so much fun! While I don’t really dress up for Halloween, I love staying in and watching Halloween-themed movies and tv shows!

 

2. Goal Setting

 

I’ve been wrapped up in goal setting this week and it’s already helping me get a little closer to my end goals! I’ve been mainly using Trello for this, and have a list of big goals I want to accomplish and then I’ve broken them down into mini-goals for each day. It has been really helpful!

 

3. Amazon Wish List Revamp

 

Do you have an Amazon Wish List(s)? It’s funny how what we want changes so much over the years.

I went through my lists and noticed that most of the choices were from 2013. Wow! So many movies or other gifts that I really don’t have any desire to own anymore. I deleted all of those items and added in some fun, new items that I would actually buy today or want as a gift.

 

4. Instagram Myths!

 

I don’t know about you, but I feel like I’m always learning something new with Instagram. Plus, there are a lot of different view points out there about using too many hashtags, using the same hashtags can get your account considered as spam, etc. I found this article from Later really great at busting some of the myths that I see posted a lot!

 

5. Hulu

 

I signed up for a free trial last weekend so that I could watch a particular movie, and I really love all of the options! There were so many 90’s Nickelodeon shows I used to watch growing up, and have really enjoyed the nostalgia. I also really enjoyed watching Smallville again!

 

Sales I’m Loving!

 

  • If you’re in need (or just really want!) of some boots, check out this Zulily sale for JustFab boots. I’m seeing a lot of Sam Edelman dupes! Each pair is only $13.99!

 

Let’s Chat!

What are you excited about for November?
Do you have any goals set for this month?
What did you do for Halloween?

    I’m always amazed when I look through my old Amazon wish lists at all the things I wanted at one time, but totally don’t care about any more.

#gifted Meet my very first 2027 planner thanks to #gifted Meet my very first 2027 planner thanks to @blueskyplanners!
 
My multiple planner friends will understand the ‘very first’ part! 😉
 
While I haven’t used a Blue Sky planner in a really long time, I have always appreciated their beautiful covers, their accessibility because I find them often at my local Walmart, and their affordability.
 
This chic Blue Sky Life-Note It Planning Calendar in the Latte cover (could there be a better option for me than a cover named after COFFEE?!) is an 8.5x11 productivity machine! ✨ It gives a luxury vibe with the gold coil and written year, and has plenty of space for us ladies who need to write down ALL the things.
 
If you’re a fellow planner girl, feel free to hop over to my YouTube Channel for a full walkthrough of this beautiful planner and you can visit my LTK Shop for the link! Both 🔗 can be found in my bio! 
 
What do you think of this Blue Sky planner? I’d also love to know if you’ve picked up your 2027 planner(s) yet?
