January: A Recap

january(2)

The Happiness Project ~ This book is most likely one of my favorite of all-time. Something in Gretchen's writing style and honesty just appealed to me. I loved how dedicated she was to research happiness and share her findings. I totally enjoyed what she focused on and what allowed her change during her yearlong happiness project. Like me, she wasn't really unhappy but rather just want to improve areas of her life that weren't up to the place she wanted them to be. This book was the push I ... Continue Reading...

Friday Five: Sick Season Helps

I could not be more relieved to say TGIF! So thankful for Friday! This week was wicked. The flu is no joke...no, it's not even a laugh. It is coughable though and I've hacked a bunch over the last 5+ days. So, Monday morning I was in one of those stand-alone ER's because there was no room at the inn or rather the clinic. Urgent care opened too late for this little ole early bird and who has time to wait 4+ hours when you are practically dehydrated? The best option, therefore, was the ER. ... Continue Reading...

TGIF! I love Fridays. The end of the work week and looking ahead to the weekend makes me smile. Some Fridays I indulge in a tall flat white from Starbucks on my way to work as a little celebration. Not every Friday but a few. Today I'm off work because I'm indulging in a day of doctor's appointments. Not my favorite way to spend the day but it has to be done. Typically, I do these appointments in August around my birhtday. In a strange sense of humor I say I'm taking the day as my birthday ... Continue Reading...

Friday Five: All the Red

The first Friday of 2018 is here! I'm going to make it through the work week after all. It was only four days and I totally wish they were all this way but unfortunately that is not my reality. So glad you're here today friends because I have something special to share with my faves. It's number one so please check it out! One of my favorite colors is red and yet if you peek into my closet you would find scant amounts of it. I have a couple of red winter coats but other than those items the ... Continue Reading...

Friday Five: Gift Subscriptions

TGIF, friends! How is your Christmas shopping going? I've been thinking about how great a gift subscription would fun to give to someone. How fun to get a little something in the mail each month for an entire year or even for a few months after the holidays are over. I thought it would be fun to share a few today. 1. Birchbox ~ I subscribed to this one for awhile and did enjoy it. One of the things that I loved besides the products were the cute little boxes. I used them to give gifts ... Continue Reading...
