It’s February! One month down of this magical year. This marks the month of love. I’m not necessarily a fan of Valentine’s Day. We’ve never exchanged gifts or been any different on that day, but I do enjoy the hearts and love related things that fill the aisles of Target.

Currently, I’m…


Wearing my usual uniform of leggings and a sweaters. When you work from home, you spend the winter happy that you don’t have to dress up very often. I do keep things interesting by trying new lip colors or jewelry when I’m feeling girly.

Cleaning up some things on the blog. I’m working through a checklist to get organized.

Listening to Sam Cooke and Ray Charles. You can’t stop me. I just put them on the record player and my heart instantly gets happy. I also understand that this puts me so much closer to hipster status.


Practicing tiny acts of love. I’ve learned over the last year that I need to let go of some sadness and anger and we found this book on New Year’s Day, so every morning, we read the entry and talk about it. The challenges are simple and the questions can be thought provoking.

Watching Real Housewives of Potomac. I love a whole new group of ladies, especially when they claim to be obsessed with etiquette. Newsflash: They ALWAYS end up looking a little trashy, but that’s what I love about it. Anyone else watching this?

Falling Behind on my reading challenge this year. I finished my first two books, but I haven’t made the time to read recently. I’ll be recapping some recent reads next Tuesday and hopefully that will spark my reading enthusiasm. I am reading After You right now and loving it.

Smelling the Sweet Rose candle made by Nature’s Wick from Target. It smells like springtime. It feels like spring outside this week, so it just felt right.

Missing extended family. Every time we go home, we get some time in with sisters, brothers, parents, etc, but I miss my aunts, uncles and cousins. I’m hoping we figure out how to see everyone this summer.

Counting down the days until Costa Rica and they are in the single digits. Sorry in advance if your Instagram feed is blown up with flamingo floaties, sunshine and beaches. I’ve never been on a beach trip in my life, so I think I might be out of control.

Laughing at the final touches on the trophies for our Fantasy Football league. We will be doing an award ceremony in Costa Rica since the league champion will be present. There is a little crafting happening this weekend.

Using Kiehl’s lotion with Argan Oil nonstop. Is anyone a Kiehl’s user? I’m getting lots of mixed messages regarding their brand, but I’ve been researching ingredients and I’m not freaked out like I am with many products. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

So that’s it. Happy LOVE month. Let me know what you’re up to.

What's New With You
