The Struggling Workin Mama
Happy Sunday! So…how was your week? 🙂 First full week of the year and I feel like I got hit by a truck! Always hard to get back into the swing of things but once I get adjusted I do love a routine. This is a weekly post where I share what I’m loving from the week. So let’s get into it!

Happy Sunday! Week 3! I’m proud of myself for getting this far. 🙂 To be honest I had forgot about posting until a few hours ago (today is actually Saturday), so I’ve been going through my photos and screenshots to figure out what I wanted to include in this week’s post. Here are my favorites for this week…

Hi! I was trying to think of how I’d like to expand my blog in the new year and Sunday Favorites was something that came to mind. Each week I’m planning to share things that are inspiring me, making my life easier or that I just happen to like. One week it might be five things, the next maybe only one. It could be a product, an Instagram account, really anything!
This is also a way to hold myself accountable to posting once a week, because my blog was really the reason I started my Instagram page and I don’t want to lose sight of that!

For a very long time I wanted to go to cosmetology school but my parents convinced me otherwise. Sometimes I still think about owning a salon. I love finding new products and testing them out. Here are a couple things (that I’ve actually tried :)) that I’m really loving right now!
Hello! If you follow me on instagram (@ourdaysinthechi) you know that I am currently enrolled in an MBA program. I finished my fifth class last week and am on an 8 week break before I go back in September. I had 3 back to back classes and have been in session since right after the New Year so this break is much needed! I wrote a summer bucket list post last year (check my June archive) & wanted to do an updated post for this summer! I’ve got a short amount of time to live my best life! 🙂

I’ve been curious about dip manicures for awhile now and a couple of months ago I got my first one. I normally get no chip manicures but they never last longer than 2 weeks. So when I heard about dip manicures and how they were supposed to last 3-4 weeks I was super excited to try them.
