Let's keep it 100. I've been on this "let's make better life choices" thing for the last couple of weeks. I'm not going to say it's great, because to be honest, I've been sneaking in Fried Chicken here and there. My entire routine is simple.

The winter has finally retired its hideous weather and my skin is ready to breathe again. You know me, I love a good skincare routine once the season changes. Over the winter, I did a 28-day challenge with Olay and it kept me going.

It took a year and a half. Long story short, my therapist asked me during one of our sessions why I hadn't put together my dining area yet. Why haven't I bought the plants I said I would love to have? Why haven't put up any pictures and tried to make this space a home?
