July 2021 Favorites

July was wonderful! Here are some things I loved last month.

Working in the office. In mid-July, my company went back to the office. It was my first time working in the office since I was hired in January. After working from home since March of 2019 with my old position, it was so refreshing to work in an office setting again. It doesn't hurt that the building I work in is so beautiful! 

Wearing real clothes. This sounds funny, but it's true! I was strictly wearing sweats and t-shirts for about a year and a half. Working from my dinning room did not inspire any kind of effort to dress up. Since being back in the office, I have worn every dress, top, and skirt I own. It has been really enjoyable to put outfits together and feel a bit more like myself. 

Outings with friends. July was packed with fun outings. My favorite event from July was the Food Truck Fest in Lawrence Park. There was live music, local brews, and, of course, food trucks. My friends and I shared some delicious donuts made by Donutology. OMG, were they tasty!

Going to the gym. My friend and I have been gym buddies for over a month now. She inspired me to join Planet Fitness, and we try to go a few times a week. I have always had a hard time sticking to a gym routine, but having an accountability buddy has helped so much! I feel so good after each workout. I feel strong and happy, and it's true what they say, that feeling is addicting!
