Links I Love Week 1
Hello, 2020! I arrived back in Chicago after two weeks of traveling. Time away with family in Florida was great despite the rainy weather. I had a week relaxing in Mexico under an umbrella slathered in 50+ SPF and ate way too much guacamole. Returning back home to cold weather and work emails has been an adjustment. I typically start slow in January easing back into things and setting my goals toward the end of the month.

A friend asked me to participate in Dry January. Here are the details and benefits of no alcohol. Could you do it? I will report back on how it affects my sleep and skin.
If one of your new resolutions was to improve or learn a skill, try two months of Skillshare on me.

Over the holidays, I finally purchased the newest iPhone. I was probably the last person to have the iphone6s.

Here are 11 Reasons Why the iPhone 11 Pro should be your next camera you buy. This gives great tips on how to use some of the newest features.

I am cleaning up at home and getting rid of a lot of things this year that are outdated or I don’t use. I am also refreshing the kitchen area with new pots and dish towels. This Paris dish towel one is right on trend with the color of 2020.
Everlane sent me this sweater before the holidays and I am loving it. I missed the box by a few hours before leaving for Florida and Mexico. It is a new favorite that I know will be on repeat all winter long.

If you live in Chicago, you might find this article about Joan Cusack and her store interesting. I have seen her a few times inside and chatted with her. She is very down to earth and I love her view on being a celebrity. I just learned from this article that her brother rents a space upstairs. I will have to keep an eye out for him.

I’m doing dry January for the second year in a row. I didn’t find it difficult last year, which made me happy. This year, I was laid off 12/31 and I am definitely staying busy and finding small jobs here and there to stay afloat and it also seems easier than ever. Good luck! I promise you’ll be happy you did it if you make it all the way through. And as always, thanks for the great list of links! <3
Hi Sonya,
I am so sorry to hear about your job. I hope you find something that makes you happy. Best of luck in the search and keep me posted how it is going!
So far so good on dry January. I am also doing a clean diet for 10 days so I am feeling good. I will report back at the end of the month!
