Christmas day for me was filled with family and love! I asked for money (help me, I’m poor) and crossword books, because I really didn’t want anything more than to be with my family. However, my mom slayed when it came to gift giving, which I am really proud of, especially because this was her first Christmas as a single woman, and no, she didn’t need no man to slay the day! My dad gave me money, which I am so grateful for, so here is a haul of the gifts I received from my mom and my siblings. Even though I cried Christmas night (sadness really hits me out of nowhere), I am absolutely so grateful for my family, and just being with them, jamming to R&B Christmas songs, and feeling so full of love!
Even though I am the least forgetful person, in the past year I turned to day planners, and just writing things down in general. I figured, why keep so many things in my head when I can write them down and declutter my mind? Even though I already have one for the new year, my mom got me this mini day planner, so I will be using this solely for school!
Since I am always lugging around a huge 100 lbs purse, my mom got me this little cross-body purse for when I go out. I also had a ratty old wallet, but I was trying to put off buying a new one for as long as I could, so my mom gave me a new wallet to match the purse!
I have been so into reading self-help books lately, so I am extremely excited to read this one about ways to love your body! I am really hoping to focus more on health and wellness in the new year, and hopefully I can build the body I want at the gym, but at the end of the day, no matter what I look like, there are always moments of self-doubt, so I am looking forward to learning to love myself, and whatever else this book has to offer!
I have been wanting to add more sporty pieces to my wardrobe, and to have more clothing to workout in, so my brother got me these beautiful, high-waisted black leggings from Puma!
My brother also got me a nice asymmetrical grey hoodie to match my leggings!
I remember being heartbroken when I found out that exercise was the key to happiness (it is literally the fastest way to produce happy hormones). So, since gym=a happy life (starting 2018) my mom got me this nice black workout hoodie with thumbholes!
I have always LOVED! therapeutic colouring books! There’s just something about the amount of patience it requires to colour one page that really slows your world down, and brings you peace. My mom got me a big colouring book, and a mini one for travelling I guess!
I have been wanting a giant pink coat for Y.E.A.R.S! No matter what, I either couldn’t find the colour, or a coat large enough to butter my fancy. I don’t know how my sister found this coat on Missguided.com, especially when I looked there several times and couldn’t find anything half as cute, but I’m glad she found it. I don’t know whether I want to wear this coat or put it in a shrine – I will update you when I finally make my decision.
