Here we are in the closet at the end of the year we've been. I will not give you a blog about my achievements for the year or any of that stuff. What I am going to do is share some fun stuff with you, events, and stuff I'm enjoying. Let's catch up so grab a coffee from the barista and join me at the comfy sitting area.
Events coming up
I'm also taking a staycation in the last week of December. Those of you that know that I'm a work-a-holic know that this is a big deal. I've made it a goal for 2025 to take a vacation every quarter for my own self-care and mental health.
Stuff I'm Enjoying
my new sugar skull house slippers they are warm and fuzzy and only cost me $5 at 5 Below
I've started to take care of my skin by starting a skin care routine and recently I switched over to a winter routine because it's winter weather here in Texas. We only had a few weeks of Fall.
I've finally replaced my broken phone and got a smart watch at the same time. Tracking my crazy sleep pattern is fun.
Reading "Love in the Big City" by Sang Young Park. I watched the series first and I'm enjoying the book as much as the show.
My new weekly cleaning schedule has been a godsend. I've divided the house into 6 rooms or spaces and given each their own day of the week. But my Sundays are reserved as my Self-care Day.
Speaking of I'm loving having a day dedicated to self-care and being serious about it. It helps that the family helps me with this plan.
Most of you know that I've been watching shows out of Asia instead of the "stuff" coming out of Hollywood. The layered story-telling, magical realism, and difference in story telling rules has been a breath of fresh air. If you want to see what I'm watching, wanting to watch, or more, check out my list here.
