I love holiday weeks! There's just something about the days surrounding a holiday that excites me just as much (if not more) than the actual holiday itself. I think it's reminiscent of school days as a child and the anticipation of getting out for break. Those weeks leading up to break were always just a little bit different- full of anticipation and typically a little bit more lax, no? Do you have anything exciting going on for Halloween? As of now, my plan consists of a little candy, maybe a cocktail or two and a spooky movie! Other than that, it's pretty much a normal workweek with normal to-dos but I've added a few fun things in for this week too!
+MAKE SOUP - Halloween week + colder weather calls for soup! Last weekend I made tomato bisque which was so good. It's just a vibe, ya'll-- soup really is good for the soul. I used a soup mix "starter" that you just add a few ingredients too and voila, homemade soup! Super easy to do and delicious. Potato is on the menu this week!
+FINISH HELL WEEK - Today + tomorrow are the last two days of Hell Week at Orangetheory. I'm knocking out my last day tomorrow on Halloween which I've heard is a "Trick or Treat" workout. Although tough, I surprisingly feel like all of the workouts were very manageable? I'm really glad I signed up, it's been a fun challenge.
+SAUNA - Despite Hell Week being "manageable", how my body feels right now would suggest otherwise, LOL. I normally do one or two classes per week so I'm feeling the pain from taking four last week. I try to go to the infrared sauna once per week and I'm looking forward to this week's more than usual. My body needs it!
+LAUNDRY//SHEETS - My weekly push to wash my sheets, lol. IYKYK. It always feels a little silly to include laundry on the list because it's always there? I've decided that you can never really catch up. I actually don't mind doing laundry or even washing my sheets, it's just the putting them on part that I hate. Because I don't love it and I WILL skip it sometimes-- I try to add it to my to-do lists so that it *might* actually get done. Lol.
+HAIRCUT - Ya'll, I STILL haven't gotten my haircut. TBH it's shameful at this point. My hair has gotten so long that now it's starting to get in my way a little bit. It's just a little too much, lol. I want to chop off enough to make it more manageable but still keep my "long hair" identity, know what I mean? I just don't think I can dive into short short hair. It's one of those things that I just keep pushing off but I just need to make myself go.
+CHRISTMAS TREE - Alright, I typically don't follow any rules when it comes to Christmas decorations. I've done them both before and after Thanksgiving, however normally it ends up being last minute because of my busy schedule. Because of that, this year I was thinking of just putting up my tree early (aka this week). I'm not really in the mood to decorate just yet but I would love to have the tree up, even just to enjoy the lights.
Wishing you a Happy Hallo-week!
