Monthly Musings {January 2025}

 Happy Thursday! We are sooo close to the weekend and so close to February! I am linking up with Holly and Patty today for the first Monthly Musings of 2025!

1. What do you do to stay warm in the winter?

Heated blanket!! I'm using mine as I type this!

2. Favorite wintertime activity?

Staying inside. Where it's warm. 😂

3. Any different beauty routines in winter?

Lots of extra moisture! My skin gets so dry in the winter. Whether it's thick night creams, serums, or oils, I just like to lock in as much moisture as possible.

4. Skating, sledding, or skiing?

I hug the wall when I ice skate. I've never been sledding. I have never tried to ski. I don't get out too much in the winter- ha!

5. Favorite winter recipes?

All the soups, red beans and rice, and baked goods!

6. Favorite winter hot beverage?

Coffee!

7. Best winter memories?

Anytime it has ever snowed way down here in Mississippi!

8. Coldest day that you remember?

Last year around MLK Jr. Day...we had lots of ice on the roads, and it was FREEZING! 

This was me on that frigid night!

9. How are you practicing self care this winter?

Keeping up with my skincare, getting in an exercise or walk when I can, WATER. I think we feel like we need less water in the winter, but we need tons!

10. Flannel sheets...yes or no?

Big fat NO from me! I love a crisp, cool sheet!

Have a great Tuesday!

Let's Look: January 2026

 Happy Wednesday!! Let's Look is one of my very favorite blog link ups and after not doing it last year, I am ready for it in 2026! I am linking up with Shay and Erika for this monthly series! Today, we are LOOKING at..... THINGS WE OUTSOURCE WITHOUT REGRET. Ok, there are so many things you can outsource that I just would rather do myself. I love to grocery shop. I think I would be weirded out by someone else doing my laundry. A house keeper is just not something we currently need or really want. BUT, there are occasions when outsourcing is just what needs to be done. Grocery Delivery/Pickup We don't do this often, but when we do it's pretty nice. That being said, I am usually ready to get back in the grocery store myself! Food Delivery This is another one we do not do often, but a Wednesday free delivery from Wingstop has sucked me in a few times 😂. And of course, pizza delivery is always nice! Plus, we can get food delivered to the school I work out, so that's nice e...

Friday Favorites {6.6.25}

 Happy Friday, friends!! How was your week? One of my summer classes started this week, so I have been getting back into a bit of a routine which is nice! As always, I am linking up with Erika and Andrea to share some faves from the week.  How cute is our new wreath sash?? My mom got it for us, and I am obsessed! Lots of food faves this week.... Another salsa I am now obsessed with! I found this at Aldi, and y'all it is SO good! I used it in a recipe, but I am definitely going to get another jar to eat for a snack or with lunch or dinner! Now for a Tik Tok "recipe". I used quotations, because it's really just a chop/open a can and throw together situation. Corn, black beans, pinto beans, onion, tomato, cilantro. I ate it with tortilla chips for lunch this week. It was so good! Next time, I would add more tomato and use less onion (maybe even no onion at all), and I should have chopped up the cilantro a little better! I also squeezed in some lime juice and added salt a...

Friday Favorites {12.20.24}

 Happy Friday, friends!! And Merry Christmas Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve- that's a thing, right??😂 I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea today to share some faves from the week, and then I will be off for the holidays! My plan is to see y'all back here on January 13! For some food faves.... I grabbed the raspberry kringle at Aldi the other day after seeing so many positive reviews on it. It is really good!! I had some with a cup of coffee a couple times this week! Last night, Caleb made lasagna soup- YUM. Definitely a favorite of mine lately! A great way to end the night.... Caleb made me a cosmopolitan the other night. Yum! I am really going to miss this sight.... This is my favorite time of year for sure! Twinkly lights and candle light = the BEST. On my drive home from work yesterday.... This was a fun little surprise. I don't remember this from last year! I hope you all have a great weekend and a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday! However, whatever, whenever, whereve...
