Weekend Update/Ramblings

Hi guys. How are you all doing? Healthy and find joy and/or gratitude I hope. As for us, we’re doing alright. We are being extra careful these days and have forgone seeing our usual friends in our pandemic pod because the numbers are still out of control here. We’re all feeling some social distance fatigue, I get it, but after a tiny scare we decided to be safe instead of sorry. Also having to ask all your friends if they’ve seen outside people felt weird (and like I was the uncool busybody) but I feel like it needs to be normalized. This is the world we live in now.

My August “glow-up” is going fairly well. This is the second week I’ve completed workouts on M, W, and F (yoga on M & W, a jog on Fridays). I’m also eating less sugar (zero candy so far this month), so I’m feeling good about that. Overall, I’m just happy that I’m getting my butt moving.

As for shopping, are you guys planning to shop the Nordstrom sale? I am decidedly not. I have purchased way too many things from that sale just because it was a good price. But they have not been good purchases (hello GloPro Microneedling kit from last year’s sale—still unopened *facepalm*). As a blogger I would love to earn commission by doing a round-up and hoping you guys buy from it, but of course that would be unethical (especially now that you know my true feelings about the sale lol). But if you guys do plan to buy something already, any purchases through this affiliate link to Nordstroms would be greatly appreciated (thank you to all of you guys who support the blog with your clicks and your time). Sorry for the plug but what can I say, times are tough these days and I’m not above asking lol.
