Well the first week of the new year is over! How did you fair getting back into your routine? On my first day back at work I forgot my work pass so I couldn’t get into my office; I packed my lunch with the intent of eating well and saving money, but somehow my lunch bag got left behind along the way; and I couldn’t find my gloves on a day when an extreme cold weather alert was announced. I’m happy to say that despite it all, I survived the week!
If you follow me on instagram or facebook, you’ll have seen that before the holidays I was struggling with making the decision of staying in for New Years or making plans to get all dolled up.
On the left you have the cozy me: hot chocolate, cozy socks and my Kobo ;). Â On the right is the me that wants to get glammed up! Shimmery eye shadow, red lipstick, flexible hold hairspray and of course a bit of bling!
In the end, I did a combo of both for NYE – got a bit dressed up and had a nice dinner out then straight back home for a cozy night in!
