#BreakThings: Snow Day

12.30.20

Did you have snow days growing up?

In my entire childhood in Montana, we had only two. One my junior year of high school. And one glorious snow day when I was in first grade.

It was, in my six-year-old estimation, the perfect day. We slept til 8:30AM, then put on our snowsuits and went sledding on the big hill near the school. Everyone was there. It didn’t matter whether you were friends with someone or in the right clique, for one perfect day, all the kids were sharing sleds and pushing each other down the hill.

It’s one of my happiest childhood memories.

With the snow coming down at a good clip, maybe I’ll head to Ace to buy a sled. I have a feeling some things are still fun even in adulthood.

At some point, I stopped thinking about my career trajectory. I don’t quite know how it happened, but you get on a certain path, and you stop thinking critically about your future dreams. Need a refresh? SELF recommends keeping a career journal to get back to thinking about your needs, wants, and goals in a productive way.

We love Indian food. So we’re making this 30-Minute Butter Chicken and my absolute favorite side dish ever, ever Indian Fried Rice with Peanuts for New Year’s Eve. And my husband will probably put the leftovers on a Naan pizza the next day.

I put together eight great planners for 2021 including one from Appointed that is my go to planner. Start fresh in the New Year with a new planner.

SoulCycle was the hottest thing in exercise. The craze surrounding it verged on obsession, but those days are gone. Now, people who were on the inside are talking about where it all went wrong. From instructors sleeping with riders to petty squabbles over bike placement, this story has it all.

Need to brighten someone’s day? Wit & Delight has eight great ideas to bring a little joy to someone who needs it.

This year, I’d like to be more conscious about my eating and more disciplined in my exercise habits. I hope to lose a little weight and strengthen my body. But in a world that tells you the New Year is the only time to lose weight, remember that there’s a difference between caring for your body/health and changing your body to meet the expectations of others.
