Hi, hello there, how are you? It's almost 11 pm here and I'm cozied up on
my living room couch, tapping away on my laptop. Weirdly enough, I have been
battling a pesky bout of heartburn for the past hour. But nothing a little
patience and maybe a glass of warm tea can't fix, right?
My week has been quite the rollercoaster ride, what's new.
On the productivity front, I have been on fire! I managed to buckle down and
churn out two articles for a cosmetic company and a wellness brand. Talk about
being in the zone!
But amidst all the hustle and bustle, cue the sound of drilling, hammering,
and the occasional "oops" as my partner, Adan, and I dive headfirst into yet
another home improvement project. Yep, you heard that right. We're at
it again, folks! Thank goodness Adan loves DIY-ing as much as I do, so we
make quite the dynamic duo when it comes to tackling these projects together.
Without him, I'd probably be buried under a pile of unassembled IKEA boxes by
now.
But anyway, this is the Sunday currently #21 ♡
currently...
Doing
My best to cope with this heatwave lol. We're just in the middle of redoing
the flooring in one room, which is a pretty big task. And on top of that, I'm
really in the process of decluttering my camera roll as much as possible. It's
getting a bit overwhelming for me, especially since I have already moved some
of the photos and videos to my hard drive. Yikes!
Listening
Mostly to Tay-tay's "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?" and "The Black Dog," oh, and "Getaway Car" for some random reason. I know, you're probably
rolling your eyes right now, but Taylor Swift's been on repeat a little bit
too much lately.
Thinking
You know, I'm finding this child-free stage pretty awesome. Having the freedom
to do whatever I want without a major commitment feels so peaceful. And you
know what? Not feeling the urge for kids at the moment doesn't make me any
less of a woman. It's just about different goals and desires, and that is
totally cool.
Writing
Besides a couple of articles due in the next two weeks, I'm mainly working on
drafting blog posts for future posting! I have got a bunch ready to go, and
I'm genuinely looking forward to finishing them up.
Hoping
I'm hoping to tackle everything on my mental to-do list. ALSO, colder weather!
Wanting
Wanting this weird heartburn to go away! It's so uncomfortable and annoying.
Wearing
A cute white cotton crop top and a flowy maxi skirt I got from Shopee. Turns
out, the skirt is a tad shorter than expected for my height, so it's strictly
an at-home ensemble. Oh, and I have Nudestix lip and cheek pencil in
Sunkissed Nude on my
lips, a sample from my recent Sephora order. And, of course, can't forget my
trusty anti-glare glasses!
Smelling
I'm giving a boss lady vibe today with my Good Girl
perfume by Carolina Herrera, ha! Got a spritz of it this morning, and can
you believe it's still going strong at 11 pm? This classic scent never fails
to impress me with its staying power.
Loving
A LOT OF THINGS, AS ALWAYS!
- I've been really enjoying using a desktop instead of my laptop lately, though ironically, I'm on my laptop right now lol.
- The routine my sister and I have nailed down for running our business! I think that is so #GirlBoss of us.
- Cheese fries. The cheesier, the better.
- This post by Lucy! It just speaks to me!
Needing
To finish redoing the flooring by next week so I can dive into ANOTHER
exciting project in the house! I'm so committed.
Watching
Nothing, except watching my cat grooming himself. I can't help but feel like
giving his freshly licked fur a little pat because, well, that is just the
kind of mom I am!
Feeling
Surprisingly calm even though I've got a bunch of deadlines looming. Also,
feeling a tad annoyed with this heartburn situation. Guess it's time for a
soothing cup of warm tea.

Good luck with all of your house renos! I’ve been back and forth with being child-free in my early thirties. I really want a family one day and feel constant FOMO when I see my friends with their little ones, but then I remember how content I am with how things are right now. Life as a woman is a wild ride!
ReplyDeleteHeartburn can be the worst! I don't get it often, but it really bothers me when it happens, so I hope it's much better for you now! Good luck with your home projects and you are so right about it being perfectly okay enjoying not having any children right now. While my husband and I do want a child, we have really prioritized having our own time and just enjoying being together without having any kiddos yet!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a fantastic upcoming week and best of luck with your deadlines - you will do great! :)
Make Life Marvelous
Hi Lenne. Not sure if this is an appropriate question but are you married? Feel free not to answer my question if you don't feel comfortable sharing. I feel like I missed a big chunk of your life updates.
ReplyDeletesoothing cup of tea? Definitely drop your recommendations here. I'm currently loving TWG's Eternal Summer Tea these days.

It's funny - you're hoping for colder weather and I'm hoping for warmer weather and some stability with the weather here! x
ReplyDeletedo you know what randomly works well for heartburn? Eating a banana! My boyfriend gets really bad heartburn, and when we don't have any medicine sometimes we have bananas at the apartment! I hope this helps the next time you have heart burn!
