The Workday Reading: January 15, 2016
Jan 15, 2016
January is the time of self-improvement and change. Do it for yourself. Don’t do it for someone else. It’s too easy to quit otherwise. You are good enough, worthy enough, be enough of a reason to do a little better for yourself.

Belle – saw that WHBM sweater online and liked it, but what put me over the edge is how great it looks on you on instagram. Is the grey one you link to here the same one as the cream-looking one you are wearing in that picture? Or are you wearing this one from WHBM?: https://www.whitehouseblackmarket.com/store/product/convertible-cowl-sweater/570157177?color=1335&catId=&onSale=true&fromSearch=true&scPos=1-1004-3128
It’s the same style as the cream, I didn’t see that one on the site.
Is anyone else loving the irony of the how to dress like a President Article? Especially this part: “Let me get this right,” he responded, secure that he already was, “ISIS is cutting people’s heads off, setting people on fire in cages. Saudi Arabia and Iran are on the verge of a war.” According to Jeremy W. Peters, a New York Times reporter covering the 2016 presidential election, he continued to list more “grave threats to the country’s safety and stability,” before closing with, “And people were worked up about his boots, he asked, incredulous.”
Welcome to being judged by your appearance! Remember 2008/9 and all the drama about Hillz and Palin? Yeah. there were more pressing things then, too buddy!
That pink pillow looks even better in person! If I hadn’t purchased all new bedding over the holidays I would have been all over them.
