So January is finally over and it feels good to be into a new month! February is one step closer to spring, lighter mornings and brighter days. February isn’t looking too crazy for me and I really like that. I want to take things slowly this month and make some plans for the year ahead. However, there’s still a lot that I want to achieve so let me fill you in.
01. Make travel plans. Last year I was lucky to travel abroad – Prague – have a nice summer island holiday and travel quite a few times back home to visit my family. This year, I haven’t made any specific travel plans just yet. I have a traveling bucket list of course, but I want to sort my traveling plans so I can plan ahead. I want to visit my friend from college next month and I have already started looking for dates and flights. Apart from this short but much-anticipated trip, I have no idea where am I traveling this year. Recommendations are always welcomed!
02. A home update. We haven’t done any work on our apartment since the end of summer but I really want to spruce up things for a while now. I want to change the decoration in our living room, spruce up my office space and print some black & white photos to display around the house. I would also like to add plants, lots more plants! Our house is quite dark and really needs some greenery to light up. One more thing on my list is creating a kitchen inspiration board and start adding some fun touches with kitchen accessories.
03. Shoegal Out In The World Newsletter. I haven’t sent out a newsletter in months and that my friends are the truth! But, I want this month to work on updating my newsletter and start sending it out again to new and old subscribers come March. On my list, is creating some free downloadable prints for the new subscribers among others.
04. Get back on the Instagram wagon. I haven’t been posting on Instagram regularly the last couple of months. To be honest, even though I love Instagram, I often catch myself playing the comparing game. Thus I haven’t been posting and kind of avoiding even opening and spending a lot of time on the platform. However, since Instagram is a big part of the blogging and social media everyday life, I feel it is time to get back posting daily and trying to overcome comparison. I have already photographed some images and can’t wait to start sharing again bits of my life with all of you!
05. Invest in a new leather jacket. I decided that I need a new leather jacket for spring. Sales are still going so I am positive that I can find a nice bargain. Still debating between a tan or a black leather jacket. I have already started planning spring outfits with my future wardrobe addition.
06. Celebrate Valentine’s Day. We never really celebrate Valentine’s Day, sometimes I will buy my fiance a card if I see something I like and he will bring me flowers. This year we have no plans yet! I will book an appointment for a Valentine’s Day inspired manicure and I might have found the perfect little gift. But, what does everyone do for Valentine’s usually? Celebrate it or skip it? I am intrigued.
So that’s February! Pretty quiet, which gives me a chance to catch up on life and get ahead. What’s on the cards for you this month?
