I think it's nice to add a couple new things to your living spaces every so often, just to keep things fresh and fun. Recently, I've made a couple small updates to my bedroom, just enough to give me the feel of a change but without going overboard (because that could totally happen). I added some new light-blocking drapes (my thinner brown ones were not so effective, and had some kitty claw marks in them!), a new accessory to my bookshelf, and some new art above my desk. See the before here.
With today being the start of Lent, I thought I'd share what I'm giving up and taking on! I have a small list, and I actually have started giving these things up already (rather, attempting to):
-- I would like to give up coffee for Lent, an amazing feat which will be difficult considering the long days I've been having with my major.
-- I'm trying to go back to being gluten-free, so I've started to limit that in my diet and will keep going with Lent. I feel much better when I go gluten free, but it's a challenge when you just received your Girl Scout cookie order... eep!
-- In an effort to help relieve stress, I'd like to commit to yoga in the morning, meditation at night, and a relaxing bath once a week. Last night I took a nice relaxing bath and it put me to sleep so fast I forgot to meditate, but I think that's a happy mistake.
What are you giving up or taking on for Lent? And do you switch things up in your home decor often?
