31 Things to Do in January
With the holidays behind us and the new age roaring 20’s ahead of us, I am sharing 31 ways to celebrate January. I am not a fan of resolutions, however, I am a big fan of lifestyle overhauls and simple changes. Let’s prioritize ourselves in 2020.
1. Create a vision board. I was recently told that when creating a vision board you should be very specific and keep it in a place that you can see. You don’t have to cut out pictures and words from a magazine, you can simply write sentences or words down onto a piece of paper.
2. Select one word or motto to focus on in 2020. This word should be something that will help keep you focused and your priorities in order throughout the year.
3. Grab some takeout or junk food, change into pajamas and put on a movie.
4. Shop post-holiday sales for major savings. This is the perfect time of the year, save some money, since stores are will be going through their inventory they will be dropping prices.
5. Get active and do some indoor rock climbing.
6. Head to a hotel for the weekend just so you can go swimming.
7. Try out a new recipe. Pinterest is a great place to find an abundance of new recipes.
8. Host a board game night.
9. Learn a new hobby. I really want to take a refresher crocheting class.
10. Go ice skating.
11. Visit a museum.
12. For many places, it is off-season, which means you can score some really get deal on a spontaneous weekend getaway.
13. Head to an arcade, bowling alley or play some indoor mini-golf.
14. Go to a candle-lit snowshoeing event.
15. Celebrate national hat day today. From Panama hats to beanies you’re sure to have one to live up the moment in.
16. Head to the hills and go tubing, sledding, skiing or snowboarding.
17. Have a spa day, after all, you work so hard you definitely deserve one.
18. Binge watch a new show on Netflix or see what Disney+ has added to its lineup.
19. It’s national popcorn day. I recommend adding some to your favorite bowl of soup.
20. Go through your closet and donate any clothes you did not wear in 2019.
21. Pick a room in your home to reorganize.
22. Visit a local art gallery.
23. For many places, it is off-season, which means you can score some really get deal on a spontaneous weekend getaway.
24. Refresh your look and try a new shade of nail polish.
25. Go for a snowy hike.
26. Head to the library and find a new book to read.
27. There’s no better time than now to book that vacation that you have always dreamed of – or start saving money for that dream vacation. What’s on my list? Iceland, Vancouver, and Scotland are high on my list currently.
28. Do something nice for a friend, family member or neighbor.
29. Get a house plant to lift your spirits during the dreary months.
30. Get up early and watch the sunrise.
31. Go hot tubbing.
My Favorite Memories From 2019
It’s as cliche as it comes, but I am shocked it’s the end of the year. 2019 is a year I will always remember. I feel like I experienced some amazing things, met some wonderful people and really discovered myself. Here is a month by month overview of some of my favorite moments from a year filled with early mornings, adventures, a move, challenges, loss and countless happy moments:
January:
In January I attended the North American International Auto Show and saw Hamilton for the first time!
During February I finally got to see Legally Blonde the Musical and went to a Galentine\’s party.
March:
I attended my first Red Wings game at Little Caesars Arena, went to Papa\’s woodcarving show and spent plenty of time in the snow with Jack during March.
April:
April was the game-changing month for me. Not only did I see Hamilton for the second time (it\’s really good), but I took my first solo road trip to not only a city I have never been to – but a state I have also never visited. I also fed a stingray and attended the Vera Bradley Outlet Sale in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
May was a low key month, that was filled with bike rides, trips to nearby cities and seeing Waitress on Broadway for the first time.
June:
June was a month filled with first time experiences. I did barre on the field at Comerica Park, tried an aerial yoga class and attended the Grand Prix at Belle Isle.
July:
July was a busy month! I took another solo road trip, visited a butterfly house, did a Spartan workout, went to the Detroit Zoo a ton and went to Vinsetta Garage for burgers with Papa.
August:
August started off with a trip to the west side of the state to attend EMPOWER Summer Camp and of course, I celebrated Jack\’s 7th birthday.
September:
During September I gave rock climbing a try for the first time and fell in love. I also met up with my college roommate at the Detroit Zoo.
October:
October took me back to God\’s Country. I explored Marquette with friends, laughed so hard I cried, visited new places in the Upper Peninsula, ate moose pancakes and never wanted to come home. I also got over my fear of clowns and dressed as one of three blind mice.
November:
November brought on another first, I went with a friend and her family to America\’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in Downtown Detroit. I also went on plenty of adventures with another friend who runs at the same sense of wander that I do.
December:
In December I got to try out my Kurgo dog backpack with Jack and go on hikes, took the best Christmas card pictures ever and visited the Zoo Lights at the Detroit Zoo.
2019: Christmas Card Reveal
Growing up I was taught to always send thank you cards out when you receive a gift, and always send Christmas cards to friends and family. Ever since Jack came into my life I have made an effort to put his cute little face on my Christmas cards, and this year\’s cards might be my favorite ones yet. I placed a Scottish plaid bowtie around Jack\’s neck and we headed to the train. The pictures were so much more than I could have ever hoped for. The snow was lightly falling and the wind was lightly blowing giving Jack a look that was reminiscent of Fabio himself. Choo choo peek at the pictures from our Christmas card photo shoot.
