    New Year!.. Now What?

    Ok, ok I’ll say it. I’ve been slacking mucho.

    I haven’t written a new post in months.
    I didn’t get to my annual ‘New year, New goals’ post.
    And I missed my 3rd year blogiversary!

    I know, how could I? Ok let’s pretend I celebrated…
    *And cue cute, disco background photo of me below* 😉


    There have been an interesting turn of events, to say the least, in the past months and I’ve just been feeling bleh.

    A new temporary, opportunity came up at work. And because of that, all my creative energy has been geared towards something else. And I’ve been drained when I come home. And I just want to be lazy on the weekends.

    Is this really the 9-5 life? I don’t know how people keep up. Especially with no windows in the work environment. Should be illegal.


    Then of course Black Friday and the Holidays come around and that’s always a busy time in retail. And just when I thought I could breathe come January, my contract at work is up in the air and I got sick with the flu.

    I never get sick with the flu! I can handle a cold, but this flu hit hard and bae got it too, so for the second week of 2020 we were feverish and cold sweating it up in bed – yuck!

    Next thing you know, I’m stuck with a stupid, dry cough and January has flown by and there are eleven months left to 2020. Eleven! I haven’t even made my vision board!


    So what are we gonna do?

    We are going to hustle.

    I’m trying to do this for realsies this time where I focus on me. What’s best for me. And I’m not going to worry about explaining or apologizing for the decisions I make that better my life for me.

    I think the reoccurring theme is me here, and not to be selfish, but I think I’ve put myself on the back burner long enough. And I’m bored of listening to other people’s goals and plans for me because the only person that knows what I want is… you guessed it… my chinchilla – jk, it’s obviously me.

    That being said. I’m going to put more effort into my blog posts. I’ve seen a major spike in views last year, thanks to a UK company with the same name – hello to my UK friends! I know you may be coming for another reason, but I hope you stay for me 🙂

    So with more views, I need more content.
    More importantly, more consistency.
    I need to get my creative juices flowing once again because L&L is in its third year! We’re in a fully committed relationship now.

    Plus, third time’s a charm, right?

    Thanks for sticking around.

  • Happy New Year 2019!

    Happy New Year 2019!

    – Happy New Year from Cookie –

    And another one!

    New Year. New Post.

    Now let’s quickly reflect on the past year.

    Basically…

    2018 has definitely been a whirlwind – to say the least!

    There has been a lot of highs and lows.

    Lots of lows.

    For starters, I’ve officially realized I’m stuck at a dead end job because there seems to be personal roadblocks in helping me grow. And thus, I’ve also experienced many anxiety and panic attacks.

    Though I can happily say, one major high – I got married!

    Which in turn was a major contribution to my many anxiety and panic attacks… but totes worth it!

    Future posts to come on my whole wedding experience however…

    I am now currently broke af.

    Like AF for realsies people!

    And so how am I supposed to live my best Luxe & Loaded life when I gots no moneys?

    I’ll figure it out.

    Once again, I am going in to this year head strong. Same as last year’s plan but f*ck the confidence this time! It’s gonna be more of an I kick ass at life attitude.

    Because I deserve to be the best me. And I deserve to attain my greatest goals. And no one can tell me otherwise. #GIRLPOWER

    Mug & Book – You are a Badass… found at Indigo

    Putting it out there! I am going to be more proactive. I’m already in the process of making my first ever vision board and got my first book lined up.

    So you ready, 2019?
