A Snowy Week!
Hello and welcome back to another edition of Doses of Uniqueness!
Since we last spoke I have been confined in my apartment for the last 7 days!
Hard to believe that I have been stationed here for 2 plus years and this week we received snow (6-8 inches) and freezing temps. Sadly, it's not just Tennessee, Texas was also negatively affected. The news is reporting numerous deaths, property damage, and just distress through the south. Prayers for all! Lord, we need you more than ever.
I have enjoyed my time off, but I am kind of excited about getting back to work. I have a board scheduled for Tuesday and there are somethings that my team and I have to wrap up prior to that board. Oh, and did I mention that I have no access to my work emails? Yep, I'm just all out of the loop. Thankfully, we have all in comms with one another for daily updates.
What have I been doing while coop up in the house?
Nothing! I should have been working on homework...but I'm just starting it. I didn't reach my workout goals for the week. I have been eating somewhat healthy (due to not having any more snacks). I was able to catch up with some friends and family...but other than that, nothing. I feel like I could have done so much (organized, purged, etc.) but I can say... I did get some rest. Overall, I spent way too much time on social media.
I was fortunate enough to catch @three_Nikki live on Instagram. She gave me some helpful tips on how to remain focus and set small goals for getting my homework done and staying focus.
Yesterday my building's fire alarm went off and scared me to death! Everyone was safe, but unfortunately, a neighbor from a building across from me left her apartment and did not leave her faucets dripping or her heat on. Her pipes burst and to see the water coming from her apartment was heartbreaking. Thankfully the firefighters were able to secure the pipes and no other damage was caused to the apartment below her.
I did some online shopping. I purchased some more hand cream from Chanel, A Daily Planner from Goldmine and CoCo(Use code Uniqueness10 at checkout to save), Some activewear from Zyia (supporting a friend), some Collagen (supporting a friend and some collagen chews from Amazon), some more capsules from Nespresso, More facial wipes from Clean Skin Club (Use code DOU to save at checkout), a Jonathan Adler mug as a gift for my friend, some jewelry from JluxLabel, and a LV cardholder....yes, way too much. I'm sure I'm not mentioning some items- but will share them in my next blog post titled "Items I'm currently loving"..... make sure you subscribe to receive a new blog post notification!
I am extremely thankful to see the temperature rise today - it's currently 30 degrees! and to celebrate this sunshine; I decided to put on a cute outfit and take some pictures!
Today's outfit is from ShopACoutureLady, Amazon, and Target!
The Jumper is from Shop A Couture Lady, My clutch and hat are from Amazon and my shoes and earrings are from target!
I purchased these items last year and unfortunately are no longer in stock.
Well, let me get back to my homework; my goal is to have it done prior to Sunday. (fingers crossed that distractions and procrastination doesn't get the best of me)
