As we are approaching the last day of this crazy 2020 year, we take the time to look back at how we actually were able to get through it all. The ups and downs, the smiles and tears, the good times and the bad, whatever it is we went through, we prob learned a lot of things along the way. The important things like family and spending time with loved ones and the not so important things like when the next time we can go to to the salon to get our hair and nails done. Didn’t the latter make you realize what you can live without?
Looking back to April when I heard I couldn’t go to my hairdresser’s, I remember freaking out asking myself how am I gonna do my own hair. But with the right amount of will power and the help of some YouTube videos, I was able to not only dye my own hair but cut it too, so much that I still am doing that today! The moral of me telling you this is, 2020 made us open our eyes to things we so luxuriously were doing/spending money on before, that we actually didn’t need to. Crazy how a pandemic makes you realize that you are a true SURVIVALIST and will adapt because you need to. How does that saying go? Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Ain’t that real talk right there? I know you can relate to my story above too.
So, another year has gone, a rollercoaster one at that, and usually to bring in the New Year, my hubby and I like to have a night or two away to celebrate and reminisce of the year we just surpassed. Of course, this year was a little different. No going away due to the restricted guidelines because of the pandemic. No big ass hotel party with hundreds of partygoers whom we made friends with. No nice dinner beforehand at a fav local restaurant. None of those. This was the first NYE where we weren’t doing any of those things. But, we had each other and threw our own party for two at our own home. Plus, I had an abundance of wine & coquito continuously flowing with a smorgasborg of delicious dishes and of course my glitter in full swing! Oh you know I had to dress up in a cute outfit! I mean, how could I not considering we were ringing in the New Year, regardless if it was just to sit on our living room couch watching the ball drop? Ahhh yes, glittery top made an appearance, my love next to me, wine in one hand and our memories of the past year on our mind. To me, being a total party goer and wanting to go ‘all out’, this year we did just that. By ourselves and it was perfect. And because I love taking pictures, a stay at home photoshoot NYE edition was a must lol
What are your plans for NYE? Are you getting dressed up? And if so, what are you gonna wear?
