Earlier this week I had a couple of moles biopsied at my yearly skin screening. This happens every year or two and it freaks me out every single time. As the doctor scrapes off the mole, I internally kick myself for not wearing sunscreen in my teens and early twenties. The amount of sun damage I have now is a literal health concern.
January ended after approximately 75,000 days but I managed to not use a single single-use plastic bag during that abnormally long month...and also managed to break Dry January only once! How did you do? I actually found it really easy since I was prepared ahead of time. I did forget my produce bags at the grocery store more than once and ended up just putting fruit and veggies directly into my shopping totes and having the person checking me out take them from the bag directly.
I consider myself a bit of a loungewear connoisseur... I've been working from home for years and while I strive to get dressed in "real clothes" daily, by 3pm most days I've changed into joggers and a sweatshirt or leggings and a Dudley Stephens. So I was excited few weeks ago when I got a marketing email from J.Crew announcing their new weekend shop.
If you just look at this photo, this staircase doesn't seem all that impressive but may I divert your attention to the before photo below and you'll soon realize that this is actually the most drastic change in our home. The basement and these stairs are where we've put in the most amount of work in for the house so far because it was a hot mess.
