Happy Sunday friends! As we moved into another week of quarantine and social distancing, I noticed myself and many others are feeling hopeless and uninspired. I wanted to do something to help myself and others feel a bit brighter during these gloomy days.
I thought of what I could do right at home that would spread sunshine to myself & my followers, and perhaps something that would motivate me this coming week. So I came up with a fun #ROCKYOURLILLY style challenge!
What a week it has been y’all! Mostly everyone’s lives and plans have been turned on their head. It is a challenging time and I want y’all to know I am praying for YOU! That’s right, you! Everyone is having a different situation that they’re used to right now in one way or another. Grant and myself are blessed to be people who do work from home, besides my part-time “fun” job at a local consignment shop. Needless to say I’ve been counting my blessings lately because some are not so lucky.
If you have the privilege of still having an income at this time, I encourage you to shop small. Supporting small business is nothing new here on my blog, but now more than ever it is incredibly important to remember those who don’t have a multi-million or billion dollar company to save them. I come from a family of small business owners, including my Dad and my sister who both own and operate small businesses, and it is a scary time for them.
Today I wanted to share some of my favorite small businesses and if you, like myself, have been doing some retail therapy during social distancing, these are some great small businesses to check out and support. Even if you aren’t able to financially support at this time you can support these businesses by sharing this list with your friends, giving them a follow on social media, etc. Remember, supporting small business means to keep a fridge stocked, to keep someone’s lights on, to give a young child resources, and so much more!
It was a crazy past week y’all! I worked all last weekend, and Monday – Wednesday we had a mini vacation. Needless to say my day are all messed up lol. And not gonna lie, I am feeling super unmotivated since I’ve taken a break this week. But I am hoping I can find some things I want to write about and just go with it!
I am such a creature of habit. I find things that I like and use, and keep using them! Once upon a time I said I would do seasonal favorites as a blog post series, but that didn’t work out lol. I rarely stray from my routine, so it’s hard to have new favorites every month or every quarter.
But today I’m going to reflect on the past year and share my favorites over the past year with y’all! I’ll divide things up into categories & link items when possible.
Hey y’all! Long time, no talk. I took a little break for the holiday but I’ll slowly but surely be coming back to life haha. I wanted to do a bit of a different post. I normally don’t share sales, but if you read this blog post from a while back, you know that I’m making an effort to start investing in my clothing pieces.
Right now, Nordstrom is having their half-yearly sale! I want to share some high quality pieces that are great prices at the moment. The sale ends January 2nd so you’ll want to shop sooner rather than later! Hopefully y’all can find some great investment pieces that will last you for years to come.
