Top Posts of 2021
As another year comes to an end, I am taking some time to reflect on 2021. One of my blogging goals for this year was to publish more blog posts and to write about different topics. In 2021, I published 60(!) blog posts and started a couple of new series such as “Things I Bought Recently” and “Week in Outfits” posts while keeping up with my monthly book review roundups. When I started writing blog posts regularly in 2020, I set a weekly publishing schedule as a motivation to keep up with the blog. This year, I threw the posting schedule out the window to give myself freedom and flexibility.…

Week in Outfits 2021.12.26
The last Week in Outfits post of 2021! I love dressing up for the holidays (for any occasion for that matter) so there are lots of red and green outfits in this one. Alex and I split Christmas holidays and spent time with both of our families. I took off work all of next week so I’m looking forward to keeping my brain turned off for a little longer. I have some cleaning and organizing on my to-do list before the new year begins so fingers crossed, I actually get those done! MONDAY The very last working Monday of the year! I had enough motivation to get some work done…

Holiday Season Gratitude
Hi, friends! I initially shared a shorter version of this on Instagram but I am sharing it again on the blog because I want to live here as well. I have been reflecting more during this holiday season and wanted to share the gratitude I am feeling. My family went to Angus Barn this past Friday and crossed it off our North Carolina bucket list! It’s decorated beautifully for the holiday season this time of the year, and it was quite magical and a little bit surreal being there. Christmas Dinner at Angus Barn was one of those things my family was vaguely aware of but couldn’t fathom the idea of…

Week in Outfits 2021.12.19
LAST WEEK: It was the busiest week in a long time! Work has probably been the busiest it’s ever been since I joined a new study in August. I had some plans a few evenings last week for which I had to have a hard stop. The weekend was a perfect balance of holiday festivities and downtime spent on the couch! It’s finally hitting me it’s Christmas time haha. THIS WEEK: Per usual, I am looking forward to a short work week! I am taking the week between Christmas and New Year’s off so it’ll be a nice 10 days off or so. We’ll split the holidays between my family…

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…
