Week in Outfits 2021.12.12
Last Week: Recently, I have been feeling extra weird about social media. I have been talking to my sisters and close friends about the sense of disparity and the feeling of exhaustion I am carrying around these days. I am not sure exactly what I need to do for my mental health (maybe take a year off social media?) so I am continuing things for the time being. This Week: It’s the first full work week in a while but it also is the last full work week of 2021! Somehow it’s already mid-December and somehow 2021 is coming to an end. I am looking forward to time off at…

Things I Bought Recently Vol. 2
I am back with another Things I Bought Recently post! Here’s the very first Things I Bought Recently post if you missed it. Some of my recent purchases are for the home and some are for myself so there’s a little bit of everything in this post. Candle Care Kit I had mentioned in my “What I’m Gifting This Year” post that I ordered a few of these candle care kits from an Etsy shop called Sweet Water Decor. The candle care kit includes a wick dipper, candle snuffer, and wick trimmer. I am happy to report that I am loving it! I have never felt so fancy and put…

Week in Outfits 2021.12.05
LAST WEEK: Sometimes short work weeks feel like the longest but thankfully last week was not one of those weeks! It was the first time in a long time I didn’t have any evening meeting and I think that might be why. I spent half the weekend with my older sister Jiyoung which was nice since we hadn’t had one-on-one time together in a long time. THIS WEEK: I am taking a couple of days in the middle of the week (had to use a little more PTO before the end of the year and to celebrate Jiyoung’s birthday). It’s going to be the weekend before I know it, which…

Visiting Jordan Lake Christmas Tree Farm
‘Tis the season! We finally got around to getting a Christmas tree for the living room this weekend. I learned about Jordan Lake Christmas Tree Farm in Apex from a friend recently and was too excited to not check it out! I mean, I had no idea we even had any Christmas tree farm in the Triangle area. Since there aren’t that many Christmas tree farms here, Jordan Lake gets pretty popular. For Thanksgiving weekend and the following weekend, they require reservations, which are free. I made a reservation for the Sunday after Thanksgiving (first Sunday in December) and they actually ran out of trees the Saturday before and cancelled…

What I Read in November 2021
Happy December, friends! I have been not reading as much and November was probably the slowest reading month for me. On some days, I felt pretty down about that fact that but I know the number of books I read each month (or ever) has no significance. BRAISED PORK by An Yu – 3.75 stars TW: Suicide I randomly picked this up while I was in DC a couple of months ago and I have never read quite anything like it. Braised Pork begins when Jia Jia finds her husband dead in the bathroom of their Beijing apartment. She founds next to him a drawing of a man with a…
