Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend. It snowed here in Philly and so that gave me an excuse to stay at home the majority of the weekend cuddling up under the fireplace in my comfy pajamas. Although, the snow looked so beautiful outside that I couldn’t resist taking a walk to Starbucks just to have an excuse to walk in the snow.
Since we are in a new year, I decided to rack up on new stationary such calendars and note cards to add to my office space. I usually go to Target because they have the cutest little stationary section. It’s usually when you first walk in, which mainly all under $5 and some as even low as $1. In addition, I recently invested in a simple planner to plan out all of my daily tasks, scheduled blog posts, and upcoming events throughout the year. I spent the weekend mainly organizing and planning for upcoming events in my new planner such as New York Fashion Week, The Philadelphia Flower Show, and Beautycon Festival in Brooklyn, just to name a few. I honestly can’t wait to share all the events that I attend with everyone. I’m too excited that I’m already planning outfits way ahead of schedule. I do recommend investing in a planner because it just makes your life so much easier and not to mention you become more organized and a productive person.
