Recap 2020; January

Anyone else feel like January is like... the trial version of the New Year Resolutions? We get so hyped up on our goals and super inspired... yet next thing we know it's mid January and we feel like epic failures for not "staying on track".

I know I struggled A LOT with this, especially since I'm so fixated on doing the things I didn't get to do in 2019 because of all the postpartum depression and general depression that happened and robbed me of my time. But I'm trying really hard to remind myself that any step forward is still a step forward. No matter how many things I do or don't tick off my "to-do" list for that day/week/month.

I have to remind myself that this is a progress, not a destination.

Hello 2020 ✨

It’s been awhile, hasn’t it?

Pregnancy caught up with me and then so did postpartum depression. And then I lost my dad. So blogging and social media took a huge back burner in 2019.

I obviously didn’t get to post all the recap posts I wanted to do so I’ll be doing that through out January.

Most of my resolutions this year have to do with wellness so that’s what I picked for my {onelittleword} this year.

A few other resolutions include;

↠ Finish school

↠ Create a space for PPD

↠ Cook more

↠ Financial health

↠ Purchase with purpose

↠ Read 20 books

↠ Project pan 

↠ Work on myself — internally 

↠ Ignore drama + people’s opinions

↠ Be So confident in my own perception of myself that I won’t believe anything less

↠ Eat better

↠ Create content

↠ Become a Disney content creator

↠ Write reviews

↠ Learn Spanish

↠ Take steps to the 3yr plan everyday 

↠ Get back to meditation

↠ Get back to Yoga

↠ Travel 3 times

↠ Do one big act of self care every month

I’m hoping to stop by more often, especially with me wanting to go back to writing reviews.

Here’s to a productive and healthy 2020 ✨!

Life | Valentines Day Gifts 2019

Early on in our relationship I made it a point to tell Bubba I wanted to be asked to be his Valentine; I didn't want him to assume that just because we were dating he didn't have to ask.

I don't know why I have this thing besides that I've never really been asked to BE someone's Valentine before. Hell I never really even HAD a Valentine's Day until Bubba came along. I use to use Valentine's Day as a day to spoil myself. My mom would get me gifts every since I was little and flowers every year though so I never really cared if I had a Valentine or not.

Even in the 11 years I was previously married we never really celebrated Valentine's Day. I did have a self tradition of having a Valentine's Day outfit. I figured if I wasn't gonna celebrate it, I might as well wear something nice that day. Plus pink is one of my favorite colors.

This year I randomly came out to the kitchen and saw this set up and Bubba asked me for a third time to be his Valentine ♡.

Life | Pregnancy; 32 Weeks

Ohhh baby, you're getting big.

I'm always tired.

Life | Lunar New Year 2019

Happy year of The Pig!

This year we went and joined the Lunar New Year celebration like we did last year.

Food | Olive Garden Spring Menu

Bubba recently took me to Olive Garden for lunch after his surgery (a story for another time) and we noticed a few new-ish items.

Granted it had been a few months since we were last at Olive Garden but I figure: I've never actually expressed my love for Olive Garden on this blog before!

I guess long background short is I use to take myself in lunch dates here when I lived in Cali and wanted time to be alone. It's always been my comfort place and my comfort food. So OG holds a bit of meaning for me.

Hazel Hauls | Lush Spring

Bubba has been spoiling craaaaaap out of me when it comes to Lush the last few trips. There's a bunch of great things he got me!

The first set of things he got me was a bit of skincare-y stuff. He got me the two solid soap bars at the top; I wish I could remember what they were called but when we were in store it was on sale buy one get one free the green one smells like limes and the orange one smells like oranges and it easily splits in half. He also got me the two shower bombs at the bottom: Sleepy and Not Sleepy. These things are so interesting.

I've tried the Sleepy Shower Bomb so far. These things are so interesting!

The thing that's missing is the Sleepy Shower Gel and Scrubee!

This was one of the biggest reason why we went into Lush. Bubba got me the Sleepy body lotion last year and I wasn't that big of a fan, I don't like how it makes your skin feel chalky after it dries down but I love how there's glitter in the pot. Would be super cool if the shower gel had glitter in it too!

I use this as a bubble bath actually and it works out so great! I love using this as a bubble bath! If they ever make this as a bath bomb or bubble bar that would be AWESOME.

I ended up picking myself up two products; the Goddess bath bomb and the Milky Bar soap.

The Milk Bath bubble bar is one of my fav bubble bars so the fact they made it into a solid soap bar is amazing! I haven't used either yet but I'm planning on splitting the Goddess bath bomb in half.
