Week 1: Going Nowhere
Happy New Year!
The first Monday of 2018 landed on New Year's Day, so I didn't have work or anywhere to be. I barely left my apartment.
That didn't stop me from making an effort, though. Let's face it - it'd be hella embarrassing to mess up Make an Effort Mondays on the very first Monday, even though I had nowhere to go. So I got up and pulled on a pair of black jeans with no holes or tears in them, a loose green top from Stitch Fix, and some jewelry. I have a simple necklace with my first initial - B - on it and some blue and silver drop earrings that my boyfriend gave me for Christmas a few years back. I pulled my hair into a high ponytail with a bouffant in the front. (I'll break this down at some point for you, but it's the easiest way to quickly make my hair look tidy.) Then I put on makeup. Real makeup, not just my usual mascara only trick, but actual blush and lipstick.
Then I promptly sat on my sofa and read and watched movies, because it was New Year's Day, and I had the day off. But the point is, I MADE AN EFFORT!
Anyone else making an effort this year?
