This year I will be rounding up all of my purchases at the end of each month. This will be my first round up of the year so I am including purchased from January and February!
Home
Outdoor Decor
Sam and I bought our patio set & woven rug last year for Valentine’s Day & this year we bought the daybed, a new umbrella & some throw pillows to finally complete our patio!
Work
Office Supplies/Desk
I have a full blog post here about how I put all of this together, but long-blog post-short: I set up my new desk for my new job in January.
Planner
Erin Condren
If you saw my February Vlog, then you saw that I ordered a new EC LifePlanner Binder. I wanted a gray binder because I was using my original gray binder for work and I also wanted to try the Colourful Hourly (which I’ve been loving).
Planner Kate
I refilled my favorites from Planner Kate for functional planning. I’ve REALLY loved using these Planner Kate stickers.
Clothes
For Work
I started my new job in January (so I no longer wear PJ’s to work) so I REALLY needed new pants and I wanted new cardigans to wear my tank tops. I’ve bought all my pants at Target & LOVE them all. I bought the black and white cardigans through Amazon and they do have a lot of other options but I like sticking with neutrals because it makes it easier to mix and match. I think I am goin to grab the Grey and maybe a Navy cardigan in March because they’re soft and really good quality & under $25. I also bought the teal dress and tanks at Target to mix up my wardrobe a little bit and because I LOVE the new teal colour.
Personal
If you missed my Instagram stories in January or new to my page, I donated no exaggeration HALF my closet (three FULL garbage bags). I tossed anything that I didn’t wear in 2019 or knew I wasn’t going to wear in 2020. So I’m slowly restocking. I also wanted to phase out of certain styles that I literally wore 10 years ago and still had in my closet. I found all of these in January and LOVE them all.
Spring
I just ordered both of these for Spring. I LOVE the white dress from Target & plan to wear them with the wedges I just purchased (see below).
Shoes
For Work
I bought these from Target because they’re only $15 (not even on sale!) & I didn’t own any flats. So all I had for worm is heels. I’m honestly not sure if I’m keeping these because I keep gravitating to my heels (mostly out of habit and comfort) and I haven’t really taken these out of the box since I bought them.. but they are comfortable! I just don’t think that I’m a flat person.
Personal
In January, we went to Portland to see my brother and his family where I got to see real snow for the first time in my life! (Texas “snow” does not count) But I needed some type of snow shoes for the week we were there & I wasn’t going to buy actual snow boots because I live in Texas. But I have always wanted a pair of Hunter Boots & found some that are perfect for rain, snow and wide calves. I wore these the entire week we were there and absolutely LOVE them.
Spring
I saw these & INSTANTLY put them in my cart. They’re perfect for Spring & Summer. They also come in black so once I try these out & see if I like then I’ll order the black.
Beauty
Hair
I restocked on Shampoo & Conditioner. I’ve loved using DryBar products SO much. My hair has actually felt healthier and has grown tremendously since I started using DrBar products!
Make Up
I FINALLY bought the last Urban Decay Naked Palette I needed, Heat, so I officially have all of the Naked Palette’s! I’ve really liked this using this one and have been going back and forth between this one and Reloaded this month. & I also picked up another Perversion Liquid Eyeliner.
Skin
I LOVE Tula SO much. In January, I picked up the Under Eye Brightening Balm and Face Filter Blurring & Moisturizing Primer. They’re both my favourite Tula products & I use them every day. Starting this month they have been coming out with new products every other week. So this month, I have grabbed their new primer and will pick up their new make up remover balm but I picked up the Clinique balm in January when it was $15 (half off) on sale at Ulta. So I will pick up and try Tula’s new make up remover once I am done with the one from Clinique but I do love the one from Clinique! Other than that, I restocked on Tula’s So Polished Exfoliating Sugar Face Scrub. I absolutely LOVE the sugar scrub & how clean my face feels after I use it.
Other
Travel
I picked up the medium sized Travel Case from Kendra Scott with my boyfriend’s birthday discount in January. I used this on our trip to Portland so I would have more room in my carry on especially since I needed to pack bulky sweaters and the large takes a lot of room.
Health
There isn’t that many places to eat around where I work so I’ve been meal planning more and taking my lunch with me. So I ordered new containers and new bamboo/glass tumbler (2 pack) for smoothies from Amazon. I also bought the Defined Dish Cook Book for different recipes to try out. There are so many good recipes in this book and its also available in iTunes.
Tech
I bought a Louis Vuitton AirPod Case on Amazon that was upcycled but the link no longer works & I couldn’t find anything similar 🙁
