happiness project monthly breakdown: appearance (feb)

turtlenecks – 8 feb 2016

When I first started the monthly breakdown, Social Networking was assigned to the month of February. After a year of Simplifying, I was able to combine Social Networks and “Friends and Family” into one month, January. So I had February free. I decided to assign a new topic, Appearance, to February. As I’ve mentioned before, while there is a month assigned to a topic, I really spread each topic across the year, but do more of the “heavy lifting” and re-evaluating in the assigned month.

So for Appearance, the monthly breakdown is actually to go through my closet. I look at what I have, what I should get rid of, what I should replace, and what I need to add.

• Jan: Underwear and socks
• Feb: Turtlenecks
• Mar: Shoes
• Apr: T-shirts
• May: Shorts and capris
• Jun: Swimsuits
• Jul: “Nice” clothes
• Aug: Leggings and skirts
• Sep: Sweatshirts
• Oct: Jammies
• Nov: Pants
• Dec: Jeans

In the future, I think February will be the month where I really do some self-care in regards to my appearance. A haircut, a facial, whatever it is I feel like. But this year, I’m spending any extra time at the gym, not the spa!
