Man it has already been a week and it hasn’t even been a full 3 days. I feel as if I could go upstairs and fall asleep for the night…except….it’s still light out (it was before I actually published this post)? This week has been an emotionally draining one for sure. I do work in a school, so for obvious reasons, I am tired just from the regular day to day happenings (and there was a full moon). But this week has seemed even more exhausting. Probably because it is that time of year right before testing and spring break when everyone is just ready for testing to be over and spring break to be here!
We’re working on schedules for next year and if feels like my brain is on overload trying to make sure all details are attended to. On top of the “normal,” (I don’t need to get into details) but the tragedies that have occurred in my district over the past couple of weeks, compiled on the ones that have happened earlier this year, just have my heart feeling super heavy for so many. The daily grind just doesn’t really seem all that important when you start to think of the very serious feelings that our students have and it makes us, as adults, feel so helpless when we can’t “fix” all that is wrong with the world that seems to be troubling our students and sometimes our own children.
But as I thought about what day it was I realized that it was, in fact, Wednesday (although I was hoping it was a Thursday) and for the past two weeks I’ve put off posting. When I committed to starting a blog I promised myself that I would stick with it… regardless of whether or not anyone was reading it, whether I didn’t feel up to it, whether I felt too tired or too busy…whatever. So…here I am…digging in and pushing through the fact that I really want to cuddle on the couch and sleep.
So I’ll go on with the outfits from the past week and even a few purchases that I made. And in my defense, the purchases were early birthday presents to myself from people since they asked me to shop for myself. 🙂
The two products below are from Sole Society. I’m sure you’ll be shocked…but I found this site by following other people on Instagram and I really liked their stuff. Since I have committed to shopping less, I figured I’d try to combo my birthday (which isn’t until April, LOL) with a couple things that I really liked.
I’ve also stumbled upon this amazing line of jeans from American Eagle (AE NE(X)T Level). Not only are they high waisted, but they are stretchy! I’m in love and trying to keep myself from buying 10 pairs. I have, however, invested in a “few” that I am absolutely in love with!
One last share before I sign off. Who doesn’t want whiter teeth right? But besides really expensive bleaching or annoying sticky inserts it’s hard to really attain whiter teeth. A blogger I follow gave a tip about how she only used a certain type of toothpaste so I figured I’d give it a try. I’ve just finished one tube and I can tell a difference. So I figured I’d send you the link to see if you wanted to give a try as well.
