Minted Holiday Cards + Giveaway!

November 16, 2015 by Hillary 42 Comments

Today we are taking a break from Europe Trip Diary posts to talk about the holidays… because somehow Thanksgiving is next week and the holiday season is among us. Wasn’t it just summer!?

Sending out holiday cards via snail mail is one of my favorite traditions of the season. I hold fond memories of helping my mom make 100+ cards to send out to friends and family near and far. Our dining room table was a Christmas card assembly line for a solid month: covered in colorful card stock, ink, stamps, ribbon, fancy scissors, envelopes, postage stamps, etc.

Now my mom and I no longer make our cards together, but I still enjoy sending warm wishes to loved ones during this cheerful season (just as much as I love receiving them, too — hint hint).

While Target has some seriously cute cards, last year I took mine to the next level by using Minted to create personalized photo cards. I was extremely pleased with how they turned out, so I am using their service again this year. Minted offered me a credit this season, so I would love your help deciding what design to choose…

Ornament Card 2

I love the new post card styles they are offering this year, and have always loved the dual purpose of the ornament cards. I like the simplicity of the single-photo cards, yet I am leaning towards something where I can share a few pictures (yes, Europe pics!).

Plus, if you use envelopes, you can get free recipient addressing which makes your cards all the more polished. Minted almost always has a good discount running (especially during the holiday season), and they have also offered to give one reader a $50 credit to create their own cards — see giveaway below.

    the ornament cards are really fun, but my favorite from minted’s website is the ‘winter botanicals’ holiday card — it reminds me of anthropologie or something. just really beautiful and comes in lots of pretty colors too :)

    I love the ornament style cards, but I think the new postcard styles rock as well. I love to send cards; but with the rising cost of postage nowadays, I can still send a nice card but with the postcard option, it will cost less.

“Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. “Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. George Papanicolaou

It’s no secret that I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks. Or at least I don’t intend it to be. Because while there can be a lot of shame and embarrassment around both of these, I know I’m not alone in my experiences. While I’ve leaned toward the more anxious side most of life, my bothersome anxiety has steadily increased since my mid-twenties - some periods being worse than others. 

It’s not a complete surprise that my mental health has taken a dip during my first full gloomy Seattle winter — in the height of a pandemic. 

Here are some ways I have been nurturing my body & mind as I work with a team of practitioners to work on understanding the **root causes** of my panic, and to live with more ease. 

» no coffee (not even decaf)

» meditating regularly - I’m using @insighttimer 

» gentle movement

» weekly therapy sessions

» attempting cold showers (this is hard for me!): if you’re interested, you can research how this impacts the nervous system

» working with a naturopathic doctor to focus on gut + hormone health

» trying a new Rx - a decision that took years of consideration

» lastly, opening myself up to vulnerable conversations/sharing my story and my experiences in efforts to reduce any shame and connect with others 

I am not my anxiety. 

[image: a photo I snapped to send to my mom of my naturally red palm holding my Rx on the first day I took it]
This rare blue sky day in February is having me da This rare blue sky day in February is having me day dreaming about long, light-filled summer days... they’ll be here soon.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
