Happy January and 2025! I really hope that you all had a good holiday season and start to the new year! I know it’s been awhile since I’ve posted on here and I ended up not sharing anything for the month of December. We actually had my husbands’ family in town for Christmas so things were very busy spending time with them as well as having my little brother in town for Thanksgiving. But I am happy to be back posting on here again and plan to do so more regularly 🙂
One thing I’ve done a bit different this year already, is have a slower approach to the new year. In the past, I’ve often put a lot of pressure on myself to start strong and hit the ground running with my resolutions. But this year, I’ve taken the first week of January to rest and recharge. I’ve spent more time at home reading books, drinking tea, listening to records and ease into the new year.
I recently replaced my old record player and I am so happy with my new one! When I first got my set up, I tried to make this receiver work with vintage speakers but I couldn’t get it to work. That’s when I decided to go with a bluetooth record player and speakers. It’s SO much easier to set up and the sound quality is great with the Marshall speaker!
As I mentioned, I am taking a bit of a slower approach to the new year which also means I’ve been gravitating towards comfortable and cozy pieces. This yellow two piece set is so cozy (use my code THEMOPTOP20 for 20% off!) and I’m looking forward to styling these shorts for the summer too! And if you’re on the hunt for a good pair of cozy socks, I highly recommend this pair!
Not sure if anyone reads my blog anymore but I always miss posting and sharing updates so I am happy to be back and continue to share more on here this year 🙂
