Today J and I both slept in ww. He was supposed to work and have a medical appointment in the morning and he missed both! Thinking back, I'm not even sure what I did today tbh...

Oh, I did notice mold in my water bottle straw today though! Who knows how long it's been there... No matter what, I always seem to end up with moldy water bottles. I'm giving up and going back to glasses for now.

necklace...d.i.a.

top...GHOST OF HARLEM

shorts...SkinnyLip

heels...Pleaser

I went for a dark smokey eye today.

fading out this color is annoying, I feel very not cute.

Now I'm reading these two books, I've wanted to read them for more than a year now, and I'm really enjoying them!

What nice weather today! It's finally sunny and warm and starting to move to Spring time.Today I slept in so hard that I didn't even wake up to cook J breakfastI woke up around 10:30 and I couldn't even open my eyes for a while.

But now I'm feeling so refreshed and liberated after that looming appointment is behind me. I took the dog for a walk and I'm spending the day reading old blogs to gain inspiration and blog ideas.

Yesterday I said I'd show what we got J for his birthday (other than the thing I got on AliEx which isn't coming yet w). Maybe you're like "why would we care" but it's home items so it's relevant to my content anyways.

We got him a standing lamp and a new comforter and bed set!

We recently gave up on our fancy plush grass-looking comforter because it's just... impossible to wash. We had gone back to our old one but J just hates old things so I thought a new one would make him happy. Plus I thought the busy pattern will hide the dog hair and dirt better. AND THESE CAN BE WASHED IN OUR WASHER AT HOME! ALL IN ONE LOAD!

Also, this morning I got to take out the first of these nice fancy hand soaps we bought from Costco a few months ago. The bottles are glass and the look is very nice so I'm pretty excited about them.

Is homemaking content boring? Well too bad because I have no life.

NEW NAIL

 

Today was a very taxing and difficult day, but also a very very good day.

Well to start, it’s J’s birthday! I picked up his favorite cake yesterday and his mom and I got him some gifts at IKEA the other day. The three of us celebrated at home this evening with Indian food and Kill Bill Vol. 1. (As he requested). Of course I didn’t take pics of his cake bc I forgot but I’ll show what he got tomorrow ww.

Because god and country hates me, there was a non avoidable scheduled exam I had to attend today, which my MiL very kindly took me to. She supported me through the appointment as the examiner was a huge dick, and afterward she said we should get a treat so she took us to have our nails done. 

We got matching. ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

She is so kind and supportive, I can’t believe what an amazing person I am privileged to have as family. (=´∀｀)人(´∀｀=)

Well I barely slept last night and woke up at 6 and I haven’t stopped since (it’s 21:42 now) so I’m MECCHA tired and I’m so ready to relax.

Happy SUNDAY~

Yesterday MiL and I went to IKEA and today J and I went grocery shopping.

Lately I've been in a girly mood, I think that happens during winter usually but this year I'm frustrated because I gave away all my girly clothes in 2023 so now I have really nothing to wear if I'm in this kind of mood.I'm doing my best with what I have and maybe hopefully I can pay off Sei soon so I'll have some new items to work with ww.

At IKEA I got a big planter pot for my monstera (not sure if it will work out), a new mug (because J whacked my old one off the counter and shattered it last week w) and another shelf! It was only $19.99 and honestly I might buy more of these because for the price they are so sturdy and large!

Yeah I have a lot of hair products haha... this isn't even the half of it...

Also, before I left for shopping this morning Olivia dropped by and gave me a gift!

Whaaaat are you freaking kidding me???? My friends are so sweet.

I totally made myself ill lol...

After writing a lot on my blog earlier I went out with MiL. We went for coffee and plant shopping. I haven't seen her in a while so it was nice.

But since I stayed awake since 6AM without going back to sleep, and then did something out of the house, I totally collapsed by the afternoon.

Today I was feeling SO UGLY!!

jacket...sugargloss

top...d.i.a.

shorts...skinnylip

socks...AngelicPretty

shoes...SODA

bag...MARS

I didn't have enough time to style my hair nor glue lashes before leaving and it really showed...

With this damned pimple I just see the barmaid from Shrek when I look at myself and I can't unsee it no matter what. I wish I had pimple patches but J used them all...

It hurts so bad to post me looking bad but it's part of the resolution of The Year of Casual Gal. I'm not gonna look amazing all the time and I have to be okay with that.

For dinner I made a lemon balsamic pasta salad. But I added way too much mustard accidentally so it was almost inedible...

Also I'm trying gummy vitamins again starting today! Hopefully it will help with SAD to start taking vitamins again.
