Hot takes have been making their way around social media lately and I thought it would be fun to share my hot takes especially since I usually keep my comments to myself BUT this is fun and I would love to know your HOT TAKES in the comments below!

Gabrielle's Hot Takes:

*Taylor Swift is not THAT great /// Okay, I know she is a billionaire and Time's person of the year BUT there is something about her that doesn't sit right with me. I'm proud she's inspiring a whole generation of little girls BUT the fact that she seems money hungry (Eras Tour, Eras Tour Film in Theaters PLUS Eras Tour Film Streaming) and then re-recording her music and releasing multiple covers with the same music?!  I like sparkly dress Taylor more...  I said what I said.

*Being the best at everything /// People who have this innate sense of having to master something to actually enjoy it, annoys me. Why can't you do something for the pure fun/joy of it? I enjoy bouldering but I am not the best at it; I do it because its a good workout and its fun. I don't want to know the history of it, I'm not going to be competing in it; I just want to do it. 

*Collecting EVERY piece in a collection /// I see on Instagram people showing off their collection of Loungefly bags/Mickey Ears/Disney Collectables/ Squishmallow etc and all I can think about is HOW MUCH MONEY did you spend on these and do you really think these will be popular in a year or so?! Do you think you could have used that money for something better?!

*Keeping up with the joneses /// People who consistently have to have the newest and best things that come out. That new iPhone isn't worth the $$$ because it has the same features as the one you already have. You don't need a new car because your friends have a new one. 

*Name dropping /// The people who have to consistently remind others who they know is annoying. We get it, you know so and so BUT you don't have to remind others in every.single.conversation.

and probably the most season specific ones I have:

*Christmas gift guides /// I get it, you're trying to help others with ideas and you link your LTK account so you can get a commission if someone buys something off your list BUT for goodness sake, make things more affordable and not put things on the list that a realistic. NOT everyone can spend $$$ on gifts. 

*Mixing warm white and cool white Christmas lights /// This might just be me, but if you mix different color white lights when decorating for Christmas, I will judge you. They don't match even though they are both white lights.

Whew! So glad to get those off my chest!
