you gotta start somewhere and this is my somewhere + making bread for a sandwich: vlog

girl. heeey. sends a hug
this has been a g h e t t o start to winter. burnout is real and i got got. sprinkle in the cold, lack of energy, a sneeze worth of motivation on top of life in general and you've got the smoothest transition into potato mode. not even loaded potato. I'm talking basic azz salt and pepper potato mode. zero routine. lots of tv watching. i read books (lisa jewell anybody?). eating but not cooking, washing but hardly folding lol, up just in time to work (bc my brain has been FRYING) ya know the usual side effects of the slumpalumps when you've been doing the most for too many days in a row.
and then I woke up this day and decided it was time to do things again and turn on the dang camera and say hi :)
finally took down the tree (it was starting to give clutter) and I nearly built the entire day around making bread for a sandwich. what a fun time. oh and I also cleaned my oven...?
anyway if you're slumping/hibernating for whatever reason (winter, life, work, general stress etc.) take note of how long you've been doing so then decide if it's time to choose "up and out". if you need more rest - then rest. if the couch cushion is shaped like your butt - it's time to get up girl (respectfully).
i'm rooting for you miss ma'am! ❤️
thank you for sticking around through the silence. my mind, body & soul really needed the forced break. you the best!
enjoy the vlog!
xx

Welcome back girl ☺️

[@_janetta]

thank yooou!! 🥰

[@oliviaf20111]

Yaaaaaaaaaay! 💃🏾 so happy to see you back 😊. I often feel I wasn’t prepared to adult and the new year typically feels like another year of the same shenanigans but we’re here and can try to take better care of ourselves this year (that’s my goal at least) ❤🤎. Anywho, I am just going to read all of Freida McFadden’s books before moving on to anyone else at this point bc The Coworker was 10/10!

[@_janetta]

Amen to all of that, Olivia! all we can do is our best and quite literally forget the rest 🤷🏾‍♀️ I actually need to push purchase on a couple more of sister Frieda's books and find another for Ms Jewell bc the ones I read were really good! I believe I have the locked door and another one in my cart. The Coworkeerrr WAS good. President of the Turtle club 🐢😂 thanks for sticking around girl ❤️

[@oliviaf20111]

I was SCREAMING and shielding my eyes as she was going back and forth with the Etsy shop owner about the sea turtle debacle 🫣🫠

[@_janetta]

😂😂 let me tell you how I would've closed my shop to her so fast lol either you're buying what I'm selling or you're not.

[@telly_0]

Instead of a drying mat I use kitchen towels. I put them in the laundry after using so they're always clean.

[@_janetta]

that's a good idea! ❤️

[@TheSimplydar]

Girl bar keeper friend and those green pads for the over 🤌🏿✨ no fumes

[@_janetta]

wait BKF doesn't end up etching the inside?! 🤯 How does it do with the burned on grease? I've only ever used BKF for stainless sinks/pots.

[@TheSimplydar]

@@_janetta not really it also works great when you burn stainless steel pans shinny everytime

[@_janetta]

ah ok, I'm with you on stainless steel pans. BKF is unmatched! 🙌🏾 literally brings a pan back from the dead lol

[@telly_0]

Does your oven have self-clean? I discovered mine a few years ago and it's a chemical-free godsend.

[@_janetta]

I wish it did! Would save me some elbow grease 😅
