Last third of 2023 already?

When September starts, I feel like the year is ending soon. Time flies and faster each hear. Thinking of upcoming events make me realize that the year is ending soon.

September: hardcore training for the marathon, Sofia birthday, Sofia school field trip.

October: Chicago marathon week, school break the last week of October, Lombok booked. I miss beaches!!! 8 year anniversary probably celebrated in an isolated island.

November: short trip to Manila for yearly check up post ICL surgery.

December: school break starting mid- month. Husband and my birthdays. Christmas at another idilic island at Raja Ampat.

Definitely a lot of fun coming up. But before that we need to endure the busy weeks with the girls after school activities starting in 10 days. I’m a bit anxious and excited about it at the same time. Our current routine will shift again.

Let me leave you with my bare skin face with lipstick only look. Embracing it. It makes getting out of the house literally one minute šŸ˜„

  1. I love getting out of the house in literally one minute! I am similar to you but only do mascara, so it is swipe, swipe and go! I don’t have the bandwidth to worry about much more than that!

    I have heard great things about Raja Ampat but have never been! I can’t wait to hear all about it (and maybe get some tips!)

  2. I love the fall season here but it also makes me a little nervous, because I know for me the time between November-December with all the extra holiday stuff we do ends up feeling very busy and full. (Although I really enjoy the festivities, decorating, etc, too!) But I guess I am realizing that basically every season is feeling pretty busy and full lately. HA. So I guess maybe it’s just a general season of life right now. They all seem to be busy in different ways. And you look great with no makeup! I definitely would not go out with zero makeup on- I have always had dark circles under my eyes even as a kid, so I don’t think I would show my face without at least some concealer on!

  3. Great no makeup look. Also love your dress (blouse?). Lots of fun stuff coming up and having fun stuff lined up makes the time go by faster, I feel.

  4. The no makeup look looks great! And the time saving is an added bonus! I’m excited for the final 1/3 of the year. I know it will be busy but it’s full of some of my favorite events/holidays. We do not have any family travel plans for the rest of the year. We kind of hunker down during the fall/early winter months. Next spring I am hoping we can go to the gulf coast of FL in April to warm up/get out of the cold.
