I had to majorly reprioritize my week this week and ended up cancelling and shifting all sorts of plans to make sure I was getting the most important things on my to do list done first and foremost. I am trying to set myself up for success and some relief by planning in advance as much as possible but it has left me feeling very stressed. After feeling the anxiety build and build I made attempts to take a pause, looked at my calendar and re-assessed and rescheduled as needed. I also did quite a bit of meditation to try and take the edge off. And wine. There’s always wine 🙂

All that being said, I am so thrilled to be heading to Paris tomorrow and I am also kicking off my holiday content next week! Lots to look forward to in these parts! Thank you for joining me to enjoy it all! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

WHAT I DID THIS WEEK:

• Prioritized my most important to dos, packed for Paris, prepped a lot of content for next week, took a lot of conference calls and cancelled plans that weren’t the best use of my time.
• Signed up for a bunch of NYT newsletters! I love the NY one
• Had a consult with Equilibria CBD to hear more about their offerings. They had sent me products and I was eager to hear more about how to fit them in my life based on my health goals.
• Launched a little giveaway for Paris, Perfected over on Instagram! I am picking a winner tomorrow so be sure to enter today!
• Finally updated the Beauty Shop to reflect all the clean products I’ve been loving.
