This week’s round of random thoughts and things to share on the internet…
I kicked off a random day off last month treating myself to some time spent in a local coffee shop listening to this webinar: Design Your Career Action Plan with Fran Hauser. As someone hitting the 10 year mark at the same place and feeling a little run down and unsure about what to do next, this was a really good wake up call for me on how to be proactive about my career instead of passive. This workbook to go along with it is my next work in progress!
Adding to the list of ways I spent random vacation days this summer, wandering through a few local shops I’ve wanted to check out. I picked up We Are All the Same in the Dark at Birdie Books and was hooked – a thriller that takes place in small town Texas, the story centers around the disappearance of a young girl that’s been unsolved for ten years, the discovery of a teenager found alongside the highway and refuses to talk, and the second generation (female) town cop whose desperate to solve both cases.
I’ve been really feeling all the updating millennial outfit content I’ve seen lately and Jess’s 15 Ways to Update Your Basic Millennial Outfit was what made me finally go yep, time for some changes! I donated my 10+ year old utility jacket this week and am now obsessively refreshing the tracking on my Nordstrom package with this jacket in it. I’m hoping it’ll fits the updated look I’m going for!
After spending a few months being really overwhelmed at work and wound up mentally as a result, I’m finally embracing things like the concepts in this article: The Case for Caring Less.
I’m fresh off a bigger chop than usual thanks to some post-covid hair loss that left my hair feeling so damaged, but this hair trick got me through that miserable last week before my appointment when I could barely look at it without getting annoyed. I’ll be giving it a try with my shorter hair too!
This Cup of Jo post on tips for hosting overnight guests was a sponsored post so well done – we gave the last tip of leaving a note a try when getting ready for my parents to come visit, even slipping in some recent pictures I had printed to give my mom. She loved it!
