MENTIONED/RESOURCES:

1. Travel! A change of scenery, especially to a hot climate, may help alleviate your winter blues. Even switching up your commute can change your perspective.

2. Sign up for in-person classes! After years of countless online courses, I’m excited to go offline and meet new like-minded people!

3. Daily Movement! I move my body daily, anywhere from five minutes to an hour. The goal is to be consistent and do what I can. Exercise always helps boost my mood. So it’s especially crucial to stick to it during the winter when it’s dark and cold, and I don’t feel like it.

   Here’s the MonikaFit Workout I did when my OOTD was in pajamas! He he he he. Pic of pajamas below!

4. Wardrobe Challenge!

   

   This is probably my favorite on the list. I am finally wearing the clothes in my closet, including proper PJs. My style archetype is Tomboy! I found this out last year after taking a style quiz on Tradlands.

   Some of my tops, jeans, and jackets are menswear (Quite a few were bought in Korea, so they are Asian size, which means they run a bit smaller/slimmer cut)

   Most of the clothes featured above are old or were gifts or were purchased in South Korea, but see below for the available links.
