*EDIT: It's March 2015 now, and it's amazing how much my morning routine has changed since this post was written. Perhaps I'll write a new one later this year, but for now, here's what things were last November...*
I read this article recently, and felt refreshed. Everyone - every woman, every man - has a different routine, different goals, different way of greeting the day.
So I did my own version. Thanks Adam for the help! :)
NOV 2014: I wake up at 7 or 7:30, depending on how late I went to bed.
NOV 2014: Some days I feel pretty, some days I don't.
I usually start my routine with moisturizer (Neutrogena)... unless I forget.
If I have a special occasion, or just want to feel pretty, I'll put on concealer and mascara. On super special occasions I'll do eyeliner and eye shadow.
I dress in lots of browns and greens and blacks, and I like clothes that are comfortable but fitted.
My "Aunt" Patricia said that she always makes her bed in the mornings, to start her day right, and I try to always make my bed before leaving the house - it makes everything look nicer, automatically
Adam has to leave the house before me, so I kiss him goodbye first
It's now officially the end of November, in most parts of the world, and thus technically the end of NaBloPoMo. I have SEVEN partially finished blog drafts in my account, however, and I plan on finishing them up as I have time, and posting them retroactively.
I hate that I didn't "complete" the challenges I set out, but I'm not being too hard on myself, because GOOD GRIEF I had a lot to do this month! :D
Thanks to those of you who've been following and reading and encouraging me as I write. I can't remember now how I ever imagined that I would have time for this project this month.... "What was I thinking??"
Squats: I am going to jump back on the squats wagon for December! Splits: I'm letting go of this goal for now. ㅠㅠ Books: I'm so close to done with Dubliners! I'm on the last (longest) story, "The Dead" with only 30 pages to go. It's been a mixed bag for me: some of them really touched nerves, and some of them felt empty. I really do think it would make a glorious difference to have it read/heard in an Irish accent. Water: Drinking more water is a lifestyle change I want to hang on to, so I'm going to keep at it, til death do us part. :)
CARPE DIEM, FRIENDS.
p.s. stay posted! my post-NaBloPoMo posts will be posted poste-haste! ;)
