Productivity Tip of the Week

This past week I’ve been focusing on my to-do list first thing in the morning. I also fell back into the terrible habit of being on my phone first thing in the morning, which I am working to stop ASAP before that turns into a bad habit. I recommend sleeping with your phone away from your bed somewhere out of reach to get this to work. 

I’ll probably never stop talking about this app called Habit Tracker I’ve been using every single day. I’ve even made it a habit to check off habits in the app. It really works to keep my content schedule in place and to keep me accountable. It really sucks breaking a streak!

Motivational/Inspirational Message of the Week

This week, I want you to recognize something. It’s December 1st and you have exactly 31 days left in the year: How does that make you feel? If that’s terrifying to you, I suggest you really follow along on my Instagram account where I’ll be sharing weekly tips to set your goals for 2022. December is one of my favorite months, and not only because of Christmas. Think of December like a trial run for the goals and habits you want to act on in 2022. I promise you- putting in the extra work NOW instead of waiting until January 1st like so many other people do is the secret to actually sticking with your resolutions and goals.  

I’ll be covering more tips in detail on my Weekly Happenings posts as well! 

Outfit Favorites of the Week

I have my eye on these ultra mini uggs- I have a pair of grey short uggs that I’ve work for years but these ultra minis are just so cute and seem so much easier to slip on for errands and wear around the house! 

I have been wearing these free people tanks almost every day, and I’ve been wearing them under this $15 long sleeve top from Target. I have it in black, off white, and olive green and I am so obsessed with it. It’s been my top seller the past few weeks as well! I also just purchased this quarter zip from target in the off white color because it looks just like the Lululemon “white opal” color I’ve been drooling over, and it’s only $20 and SO comfy! Perfect for chilly days and wearing around the house. 

Last thing- I just got this Abercrombie & Fitch mini puffer jacket in the mail and holy moly  it is amazing quality! The faux leather feels buttery and it’s so warm! It’s still 30% off as I write this on Tuesday evening, but even full price it is 100% worth it! I got it in black because that will go with everything. I consider this an investment but these mini puffers come out every year for a great reason- maybe next year I’ll get a furry tan one!

Books I’m Loving

Confession: I haven’t read a book in 2 weeks!! I keep saying my goal is to keep reading and finish Atomic Habits but I haven’t touched it. Reading a book is part of my daily habits in my habit tracker, so I’m hoping that will help keep me in line as we finish out 2021! 

Anything Else I have to tell you! 

I’m so over the sales lol. As someone who shares sales as a hobby and someone who usually shops those sales, I’m so over it!! It’s such a crazy time of year and I really can’t wait to get back into a less hectic inbox and save more money! I hope everyone had fun shopping the sales and I hope you got things you have been wanting or got amazing gifts for your loved ones- remember, it’s not what is under the tree, it’s who is around the tree with you that matters! 

Xoxo, Jess
