{Five Fab} Things I Am Looking Forward to In February

Sooo..I somehow manged to delete this and another post from this date, so this is a complete recreation from memory and mama is getting old, so my memory is not always so great…bwaa…Thankfully I hadn’t read them on bloglovin, so I was able to get the entire text for the other one there but for this one, I only got the part before “the jump” but I do have the events in my calendar already & pictures to aid the rewrite process…anyway…use this a reminder to backup your site daily!

Happy February Delights!

I have a love/hate relationship with February. I hate that the Winter weather here in Chicago is usually at it’s most brutal in February and how it can really wear me down. But there is also so much to love. Of course it’s Black History Month and there is that little holiday, Valentine’s Day.

Valentine’s Day sometimes gets such a bad rap. But I think it is a wonderful, love filled, colorful break from the darkness of Winter & a reminder that it won’t last forever. And this year I am rethinking my Valentine’s Day fashion and red, as much as I love it, is nowhere in the picture. Stay tuned.

How sweet is this Valentine’s Day setup that Joe surprised me with for a previous Valentine’s celebration? It still makes me smile…like HARD cheesin’. It was so thoughtful and so perfectly me.

This year’s Black History Month feels more important than ever to me & I will be taking in as many events and activities related to it as possible. Here are a few of the events that I am planning to check out:

Pearl Cleage’s Blues For An Alabama Sky at the Court Theatre






I am also looking forward to revamping my wardrobe studio. It has been a work in progress for over a year now. Joe put my cabinets together and then I changed my mind about how they were configured and she changed them and then I changed my mind again and that is basically where I left it. But I am planning to do a huge purge of my clothes and get the space set up. It is so long overdue.




I also started listening to this book Un*ck Your Habitat and I am very excited to get into it because it uses one of my favorite get things done tools that I talked about during The 12 Days of January. It is of course available in all formats but this is definitely the type of book that I like to listen to.


 


Today Friday 3rd is Go Red For Women Day and The majority of my family on my maternal side deals with heart disease related issues so, The American Heart Association is an organization that I support wholeheartedly.  So I will be rockin’ my red. I picked up this awesome red fit and flare dress on major sale yesterday! Here is a previous dress that I rocked for the occasion




I cancelled my January staycation but I am definitely planing to get a little trip in for February. I haven’t decided where exactly but it is a MUST!




What are you looking forward to in February?
