Welcome to Live Well Anyway. I'm your host, Mackenzie Kappa, formerly of cultivating the

lovely, and on this podcast, we focus on wellness, beauty, style, planning, and life.

I feature both a fun mix of guests who I've invited, as well as some hopefully helpful and humorous solo shows centered on things I've learned in my own life.

And today is a fun episode, you guys.

It's the week of Christmas.

It's just days before Christmas when this episode is coming out.

And so Katie and I decided to do the wrap up of our

year and talk about all of our favorites from the year. We realized afterward there were some things

that maybe we left out, you know, like my echo dots. How did I, how did I manage to not

mention that in this entire episode when it has been one of my absolute favorite things of this year

making my house into a smart home i digress anyway we talk about books we talk about shows we talk about

movies it was not easy because there wasn't much content in a lot of those areas but we really

try to dive in here and have a fun conversation about our favorites of the year.

But also, I want to mention, okay, I know you're really focused on Christmas right now.

I get it.

We have to be.

And hopefully this show you can listen to, you know, while you're wrapping those last minute

gifts or whatever.

But I just want to say that as of Saturday, Christmas will be over.

And we will be focusing

and transitioning to New Year's, which is actually my favorite holiday of the year.

And I would love to be able to help you figure out how to plan your year, figure out goal
