january 🤎
the first month of the year and the first month of my 30s.
I picked up my reading habit again and I have been enjoying it so much. It has been such a good option to grab for when I want to doom scroll and soo much better for my mental health and sleep. I read FOUR books, already so close to my goal of 12 for the year 🤯 (almost done with the ACOTAR series)
I celebrated my 30th birthday by spending the evening with some of my best friends and then locking myself in a hotel room for the weekend with Jacob. It was SUCH a needed break and I now want it to do be my birthday tradition.
I did a lot of decluttering, thank God, my house needed it so so bad. I have so much more I want to do and lots of house projects I would love to tackle this year!
I spent lots of time at home with my babies, and sooo much time with my family. It has been lovely!
To top it off, I finally invested in a camera for myself to start creating long form content. I can't wait to see where this year goes 🥹🤎
Starting a new decade is an exciting turning point, and January truly set a powerful tone for this chapter in my life. Picking up reading again was a game-changer—not only did it replace my usual doomscrolling, but it also significantly improved my mental well-being and sleep quality. I found that immersing myself in books like the ACOTAR series helped me unwind and focus on positive narratives rather than overwhelming news cycles. Celebrating my 30th birthday was another meaningful milestone. Spending time with close friends and then retreating to a hotel for a weekend with Jacob gave me the perfect balance of social joy and peaceful solitude. Creating such birthday traditions can be deeply restorative and a wonderful way to mark personal growth. Decluttering my home was also transformative. The process of tidying up and organizing not only refreshed my living space but also cleared my mind. I recommend starting with small sections to avoid feeling overwhelmed—setting achievable goals can keep motivation high. This momentum has inspired me to plan additional home projects throughout the year, which promises to make my environment even more nurturing. Quality time with family and my little ones added another layer of happiness to the month, reinforcing the importance of connection and grounding relationships. Finally, investing in a camera is an exciting step towards capturing and sharing life’s moments creatively. Long-form content creation feels like a perfect outlet to express and document this phase of personal evolution. For anyone entering a new decade or simply seeking renewal, focusing on enriching habits, meaningful celebrations, and intentional living can make the beginning of the year truly special. January laid a foundation of growth, balance, and creativity that I’m eager to build on.
