“Create the content you want to see on the Internet”
I read that quote while browsing Twitter at the beginning of the month, and it perfectly sums up my general feeling towards blogging and social media at the moment. Do things seem monotonous to you? Sometimes when I'm scrolling through the LIKEtoKNOW.it app, I feel like I'm seeing the same content over and over again. Not that I'm any more creative, because I struggle in this area too! But I do wish for a little more variety.
Anyway, I wrote that quote on a sticky note and it's hanging off the top of my computer now. Maybe it will spark something special one of these days.
The February Edit:
I picked up this
rose water facial toner from Trader Joe's and I've been using it everyday. If you love the smell of roses, you'll want to try this. I believe it was under $5 and great for a midday skin refresh.
This Vasanti Brighten Up! exfoliating cleanser is amazing! I got a smaller size last year in my Fab Fit Fun box and enjoyed it so much that I bought the regular size from Amazon. I use it twice a week in place of my regular cleanser and it's great for dull Winter skin. I concentrate it on my chin, the home of cystic acne. I *may* even prefer it over my beloved ExfoliKate! Although that product is more of a treatment whereas this is a cleanser.
Things I loved in February:
Nate and I took his parents to SuperCross during a storm and the torrential downpour made for some laughs.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills started another season. I'm a Bravo t.v. junkie (Top Chef and Below Deck have been entertaining as well). I mostly love seeing what all the ladies are wearing.
Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's performance of "Shallow" at the Oscars.
Celebrating Katie's mom's milestone birthday over the weekend. I won't give the number away though. I loved catching up with her family, especially her older sister. Friends are the family you choose.
Coincidentally,
I'm going to include this brilliantly written blog post that I came across just last night before publishing this. It's all about the author's thoughts on the current state of bloggers and influencers, and it is spot on.
Things I didn't love in February:
Unexpected unforeseeable events like concussions at work and torrential downpours at sporting events.
The realization that after booking a weekend away in Palm Springs, I need to go bathing suit shopping STAT.
