i'll be sparklin' bright

♪♫ St Tropez (Party Girl) - Lana Del Rey

How has everyone's new year been going so far? I just worked for 8 days straight, which ended on Tuesday. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! I had yesterday off, which was also a snow day, so I relaxed inside and did nothing exciting (just some minor cleaning & watching TV)... which was awesome! Having a lazy day after working for so long was wonderful. I do work today, but then I have another 3 days off. I'm spending most of that visiting my boyfriend. His birthday was on Tuesday, so I am taking him out for dinner to celebrate!

I've done a fair bit of online shopping lately. I ended up buying a new phone. This wasn't an impulse buy, its actually something I've been looking at for a while. Its mostly for the camera honestly. I was just going to buy a digital camera (to take good pictures when traveling), but then a youth I work with told me about a brand called Xiaomi that has affordable phones that are iPhone quality or better! I researched it heavily and concluded it was a great investment. I paid around $400 for a phone with a 48 megapixel camera and 64gb of memory! To put that in perspective; two years ago I paid around $300 for my current phone which has an 8 megapixel camera and 16gb of memory. What an upgrade!


I also bought screen protectors, a shockproof phone case, and a popsocket for the phone. So excited! It will take a month or so for all the items to arrive, but it will be worth it. I cannot wait! Aside from that, I also ordered some new planner stickers, cactus paperclips, a couple movies on DVD/Blu-ray, travel towels, eye mask, ear plugs, a combination lock, luggage tags, a selfie stick, and a new book. As you can tell, most of those items are for traveling. I'm trying to get everything I need now before May comes (when I travel to Hawaii). All I will need to buy close to May will be clothing/swim gear! I'm putting that stuff off, because I am hoping to lose some weight first.

That is all for now. I'm gonna watch The Office and relax before I have to go to work. Hope everyone is doing well!

  1. I have never heard of that cellphone brand before. That is pretty awesome. Hope you enjoy it when it comes in. XD
    Wow, working 8 days in a row! That would kill me! lol I agree with being relaxed and not doing much on a day off though. Sometimes it is best to do that for your body and your mind.

  2. Oh wow, working for eight days straight! At least you were finally able to get some time off. I've never heard of that brand but it looks like a new iPhone to me.
