Happy leap day/end of February everyone! Everyone’s talking about how they are spending their extra day which is fun but there’s still only 7 days in the week and two days in the weekend so I’m not putting too much pressure on myself to do something remarkable today haha. I’m spending today, much like the rest of the month just cranking out some work and spending minimal time outside because it’s only 27 degrees out right now. This month hasn’t been super eventful but I still wanted to get this post up because I love documenting my life this way and I think it’s fun to share as well.

Places I went

I didn’t get the chance to do any traveling this month but I am in the middle of planning a road trip for the end of next month which I’m super excited about!

What I bought

• A foam roller – I have loved using a foam roller at the gym and wanted to get one to keep at home for when my muscles are sore or my back in achy. I had Nick use it too and he’s also a fan!

• Fake gold hoops – I have been loving my pair of slightly bigger gold hoops for a while now so I also wanted to add a smaller pair to my collection. These come in rose and white gold as well.

• Blanket scarfs – I know we are all ready for spring but I couldn’t pass up on this big, cozy scarf! I got it in pink and cinnamon.

Where I ate

• Mani – One of our favorite restaurants downtown Ann Arbor. We went here to celebrate Valentine’s day.

• Afternoon Delight– another tried-and-true. I think I went here twice this month :p

What I watched

• Failure to Launch – love this movie and I believe it’s on Netflix!

• The Bachelor – a forever favorite continued from last month

• This is us – a forever favorite continued from last month

What I listened to

• Adore You by Harry Styles – I am into all the trendy pop music this month and this one is a huge favorite of mine!

• Almost by Hozier – this song has been on repeat all month in my car.

• Grape Therapy podcast – Since I have been watching the Bachelor and Bachelorette for so long, I remember when Kaitlyn (the host of this podcast) was the lead so I love tuning into to some of her episodes to hear he thoughts on the season and also hear her interviews with random people like her sweet little niece.

What I accomplished

I made a big payment on my student loan with my bonus and some extra savings. I have an ambitious goal of paying it off in full by the end of 2021.

One thing I am thankful for

I’m thankful for the sunshine. This month has been cold and snowy for us but we have also lucked out with a handful of sunny days which really helps lift my spirits!
