WISH AND PRETEND I need to be somewhere where I can wear flip-flops and feel the sun all over me. I need to be somewhere where I can't wear too much clothes because I will sweat. I need to be somewhere other than Winnipeg right now, even for a few days. I cannot go anywhere so I just wish and pretend...
The perspective today, is not fresh...
Ah February! The month of Love, Black History, Groundhog Day, Louis Riel, Mardi Gras, and much more. We made it through the first month of the new year! How are those New Years resolutions looking? Still working out? Still saving money and spending less? Still attempting to get a hold of your diet and eating? I'm going to go with PROBABLY NOT!
I'm not trying to be a downer but the chance that any of us are actually still keeping up with our goals is probably quite slim. I'm sure some of us are going strong but I bet a majority of us have already let a few things slip through the cracks these past few weeks. I know for myself, I've been struggling with the weather and have slipped off a bit on my spending/saving goals (nothing like retail therapy when you're suffering from the low temperatures. I was doing so good and now.... Well, let's just say that I'm slipping a wee bit.
I've decided to try to focus on some of the great things that February has to offer in order to cheer myself up.
1) the shortest month of the year. let's get on with it!
2) RAW: almond
3) some dinner dates and birthday parties
4) one month closer to summer coming... (see first point)
5) NFL Super bowl XLVIII
I can't think of anything else, and now that I have made this list I feel like maybe this wasn't such a good idea... I'm up to nothing considering that two of my points are basically the same point and the Super Bowl is totally and indoor event that lasts only a few hours... I'm over this weather and I'm over this cold.
Peace
Happy New Year jokers!! As per usual, everyone has a subconscious list of all the things they would like to do better in the new year. We all have an internal collection of the things we didn't accomplish and want another crack at. Is that bad? I don't think so...
It's the same type of feeling you have when you wake up in the morning. It's a new beginning, it's a fresh start. Yesterday you didn't get the laundry done. Today, you will. Just a part of being human. I have heard so many people say, "why wait till the new year to try to be better?", "new years resolutions suck, and are stupid. be better all year round...". Really??
I can't say I totally agree because I think it's in our innate nature to 'want'... We want more money, more time, more, everything. Just like I said before, whenever I wake up, the new day (and the new sun) makes me think of a list of things that I would like to accomplish. Even if it just the laundry, I'm positive that those types of small goals are just as life changing as the big ones we make on the first of every January.
And besides, laundry is sort of a big deal, I mean, I post my outfits on Fridays so there's that...
That's the fresh perspective...
Today is our last day of work and then we're off to holiday bliss! We are excited, and quite deserving, of the next ten days. Thanks to all of our clients. It's all of you that make our jobs that much more incredible. You guys, in your own way, bring us joy and happiness. Not every time you come in its perfect, but you are grateful and we are appreciative.
I've been in this business for over 10 years! That is incredible to me! From all my clients who have grown with me, to all the fresh clients from Academy Road, my gratitude is immeasurable and completely genuine. It is all for you and we are all grateful. I don't think that you, the client, gets enough recognition.
As the year comes to an end, we are forced to reflect on the past months and I haven't praised you enough! I know many business have a 'client appreciation day' or a loyalty type thing going... We don't have that, but what we do have is our love, thanks and adoration (should we get that client loyalty thing?)... You guys are one in a million and we love you very much. You know who you are! :)
That's the fresh perspective... See you next year!
Got any family traditions that are coming up? Anything that a lot of you, or a few of you, get into in December? I have two small kids that are at the age of actually remembering experiences. This holiday we will attempt to take the bus (again), go sledding, go skating, and last but not least, go to the Nutcracker.
As they get older, I'll see what we keep and what we ditch. Taking the bus, in my opinion, is pretty fun. We take it to the University of Manitoba, and when we get there we run around the snowy fields and throw snow and make snow angels (last year, my youngest sat in the snow and cried while my other daughter and I did all that fun stuff). I think it's something that they should experience instead of being driven around all the time by me...
At the shop we've kept the tradition of stockings going for the third year in a row. Starting December first, we put up stockings and all of us fill them till our last shift at work. On the last day, we open them up and laugh, and cry, and laugh. It's the best. We do take the Holidays off and this time spent to make memories and be together is very important for me. I hope all of the clients that patronize us aren't too inconvenienced by our break, but all of you should know that we are so grateful for each and everyone of you that choose Freshair Boutique to be your salon!
Whatever you get into this month please be careful and please enjoy your friends and family. You know I will!
Peace
December is here! Are you ready for the holidays? I find it funny that we use the word to commemorate a season and also use it as a meaning for rest. HA! There is hardly NO REST for most of us this month.
There are parties to attend, and random bakings to make/consume. There are presents to buy, and family trips to be made. During this time let's try to remember that it indeed is a holiday, and you should spend it doing whatever makes you feel good... You know I'll be having the time of my life!
Peace
