Well, we are all going a bit nuts because we cannot leave the house…. Good thing my family lives in the same complex so we could have lunch together to celebrate my brother’s birthday. Great excuse to dress up!!! Love this dress/shirt I got at Maurices! The necklace from Ghana is a big statement too…
I just thought I would share this today since most of us are spending our days in sweats or pajamas…LOL…
While I am looking for a new job I decided to put my talents to good use. I have opened a store on Etsy and I would like you to help me spread the word. For now I have the reusable sandwich and snack bags and I plan on adding much more.
Tell your friends to check out my store every once in a while… These were fun to make and can be used for dog treats, your snacks and sandwiches and they are eco-friendly since you can use them over and over again…
Thank you for your help and for reading… I am still working on some new pictures for the blog with some different ideas for clothes…
So this has been a weird year already and it is only March. First the university where I have worked for the past 5 years informed us they were closing in April. I have been looking for a job ever since the announcement and I have had no luck.
To make things more complicated and interesting, we are now dealing with this crazy pandemic. We have been told to teach virtually for a month and I worry that won’t be enough. My kids are also home for a couple of weeks and it could be extended. This is just crazy!!! Schools and companies are certainly not going to worry about hiring now so I guess I will have to be patient and wait. Meanwhile I will try to get out in nature to get some pictures for the blog and work on some crafts too.
Well, this was a tough week for me and all of my co-workers and students. Our university announced Monday that it will be closing on April 30th. It was a surprise so it has been a week full of emotions and fears.
So here I am, yesterday was Valentine’s Day and I decided I needed a date night with my hubby. I dressed in red to celebrate and also had a huge dessert which was what I needed I think.
I have to say that dressing up and going out can help when one is feeling down. I felt much better by the end of the night. I thoughtI should share my outfit since it was red and perfect for the occasion.
Stay tuned for a possible promotion I will be running soon… Tell your friends to join the fun and read my blog too…
Here I am again, today I decided to wear all black and gray and my glasses were the focal point of the outfit. I did not get any compliments but I felt good about myself. At the end of the day, that is what matters most.
This year I thought I could go on a diet or try to loose weight but I am not feeling it. I have so many other things I have been worrying about that I don’t feel like I have the time to devote to a real diet. I also think I need to accept my body and be happy with it. It is a hard thing to do but it is the healthier thing to do. Of course I would like to be smaller and possibly healthier but I also want to be happy.
Curves are ok and I should accept them. I will keep working on finding the perfect outfits to make me look and feel good rather than fat and that should help matters. I think society and our culture likes to shame those of us who are bigger and it is hard to not pay attention to that. I have had weight issues and complexes my whole life and I used to be much smaller. So, really I could never make everyone happy so why bother. I should worry about making myself happy and that is it.
Here we are in 2020 and I am already back to work. I have tried to make some resolutions but really all I really want is to surround myself with happy thoughts and ideas.
I started out right with my outfits I guess. I got a lot of compliments on this shirt so good start to the new year.
I wish you all a wonderful year and much happiness.
