Currently – January 2022

Spread the love

I am so glad that she (In residence) decided to keep going with the Currently series because I have been following this for a while. I have wanted to participate but I would forget to post or forget about in general. I did December’s thinking it would be the last one, so I was excited when she said going to continue. Now i just need to remember to link it on her blog. The prompts are always amazing.

Anticipating: This is a private thing that I am anticipating. I am not quite ready to talk about it but we are planning something big in 2022. And it’s not a pregnancy announcement. It’s not quite a done deal, but it will be soon. I am also the most superstitious person EVER, so I don’t want to jinx anything. This is actually something I never thought I would do or have. I am super excited about this, but don’t worry I will tell everyone shortly!

Organizing: MY LIFE!! I am trying to streamline my life as much as possible because I have big goals that I want to accomplish this year. By getting things in order, it will help me be more productive in the long run. A big thing I am working on right now is organizing my morning and evening routine. Lately I wake up go to work, come home watch tv, then go to bed. I have been floating from one thing to another that I wasn’t really liking. So I am changing things up, and trying organize/streamline my life without it being restrictive.

Reading: The High 5 Habit by Mel Robbins. I absolutely love her! I have all of her books, and will do anything that she says. This book is so good. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to work on liking and accepting themselves. Another book I am reading is my Precision Nutrition text book. My goal is to have that certification done by April. Right now, I am on track to finish at the end of March.

Resolving: This is going to be DEEP!! I am resolving a lot of negative self talk that I have told myself over the years. I have been my own worst critic. Currently, I am working on changing the things that I have said to myself, and working on being a better person. Loving my “flaws” and embracing them in a more positive way.

Scheduling: EVERYTHING! This goes along with organizing for me. I feel like I have been just going from thing to thing without much thought or care. I also haven’t been putting in the time for the things that matter in my life like scheduling at least 30 minutes every day for each business that I am currently working on. Another things that I am scheduling in my day. I have spent so much time mindlessly scrolling on social media.

We got there around 6:30pm, and didn’t leave until 9:15pm. The website says the walk will take about an hour, but you can go at your own pace. There are so many lanterns in each animal exhibit.

We started going through the Asian Trail, there was year of animals. The Africa section was my favorite, but I am not going to tell you why. But it was a nice surprise, and I was way too excited.

There were hands on activities throughout the zoo, but by the time we got to some of the areas it was closed.
-make your lantern
-paint rocks to be placed around the zoo
-tattoos
-music each night

What are your “musts” when traveling? Let me k What are your “musts” when traveling? Let me know in the comments! 

These are the things I always have when I travel: (arrow down)

1. Spare credit card/bank card - I typically bring this, but before my last trip my regular bank card got hacked. Now I make sure to always have 2 cards with me. 
2. Portable charge/power banks - I have a charger that I keep in my car all the time. It's a 4 in 1 charger, but I also have portable charge that I keep in my bag. It has come in handy more times that I can count for me and other people. 
3. Reusable water bottle - I have my Stanley when I am driving. While I am hiking I use either a water bladder or a hydroflask. 
4. Reusable Bags - My favorite is the Mary Kay roll up bag. It has 4 plastic bags that holds everything I need for my morning/evening routine and shower time. 
5. Books - I will most always have a physical book along with my kindle app. I love to read. During my hikes I stop throughout for snacks and reading. 
6. Wet Wipes - My favorite is HyperGo because they have so many different scents. They are also 12x12 so usually 1 works for the whole body. 

In the reel - Things I won't travel without
