Happy first Sunday of 2026!
It’s Monday. My favorite day of the week. Life happened, and sometimes life happens.
And that’s okay.
I’m so partial to even-numbered years, randomly. I think because I was born in an even year and it just feels so . . . symmetrical. The only thing that could really make it better would be when a year (or a month) starts on a Monday. I love a Monday start (not new news).
This weekend really feels like the first weekend to be back in the swing of things post-holidays for me. I really only took a few days off during December, but I’m feeling really ready to jump into 2026. I’ve got two trips planned this month, one for a quick trip to Morgantown and another weekend with friends.
I’m trying my best to not miscellaneously shop this month, and to do a big purge. Local friends, does anyone want any of my clothes? Truly, text me.
That being said, I did do a few last minute buys before the clock struck midnight on 2025.
My obsession with bows is holding strong for 2026, and the most perfect flats were on super sale. Now, I just need tracking to update (cross your fingers for me!).
I realized the weekend after Christmas that somehow I don’t own sweatpants? I own a lot of leggings (duh) and one pair of spacedye joggers, but no sweats. I found the cutest set a la Grossy: the pants and the top were on super sale. Genuine needs.
Probably my most-used lip product from 2024’s favorite things party was the lip peptide. It’s on super sale through Sunday. I’m not kidding when I say I bought four of them last year and have gifted probably a half-dozen this past holiday. Do yourself a favor, buy one or three of these.
Cheers to making this the best year we can. Saying yes to the things that we truly want to say yes to, to trying new things and saying goodbye to the things that aren’t serving us anymore.
It’s going to be a hell of a year, I know it.
