I went to NYFW this past weekend, and after being surrounded by tall, stylish glamazons these past few days, it feels incredible to be back home, in casual clothes, and settling back into my normal routine. I always appreciate the privilege of attending Fashion Week, but sometimes it can mess with you mentally!

Now that I’m back, and it happens to be the week of Valentine’s Day, I’m working on a bit of self-love and self-care this week. Before I left for NYFW last week, I decided to switch things up and decorate my bar cart for Galentine’s Day. It’s super easy and inexpensive to style your bar cart seasonally. After taking my holiday decor down last month, I’ve been looking for an excuse to infuse a little bit of color and life into my entertaining spaces!

So I did some homework and polled my followers on IG Stories to try to figure out ways to get a good night sleep. I tried a lot of different methods, but here are the ones that happen to work best for me!

Does anyone else feel like this week is the actual start of the New Year? I was thrown off by the fact that New Year’s Day was on a Wednesday this year!

2019 was an exciting year blog-wise. I had to take a few breaks here and there, and I slightly shifted my focus after my reader survey, but overall it was a good year! Surprisingly, most of the posts that received the most traffic last year were older posts that were published in 2018 and earlier. However, here were the most popular blog posts that received the highest amount of traffic in 2019. Just in case you missed them!
