February is the month of love! It is cold and snuggly still but I'm thinking ahead to springy weather.  I love a good snow in December and also in January too, but by February I do not want any snow at all.  In February we are all about 

Taking down the Christmas Tree is the absolute worst.  It looks so lonely and bare without the tree.  And its a ton of work.  Physically, its a lot of work.  We have a fake tree. Fun Fact:: I didn't know that real trees were a rich people thing until a couple of years ago.  I had no idea that was a quiet luxury.  But we have a faux tree and it is probably 6' tall and comes apart in 3 sections and I store it and pack it away in the garage until next season.  That part is not the bad part, the bad part is taking off all 600 strands of lights and all their remote control plugs and keeping everything together and not in a big knot.  Then I like to add a bit of rizz and go ahead and take down the Christmas village too.  I crawled under the piano and there were THREE long ugly surge protectors power strips monstrosity, all different colors powering that little town.  That is my favorite part of taking the village down, not having all those ugly cords and bulky plugs. But also when I cut the electricity to Christmas village my electric bill goes way down and I love that too.  I love these power strips because they're discreet and flat and they come in normal colors- black or white.  No more long green extension cord surge protectors tangled up with a battered yellow one tackeying up your living room.  These are sleek and cute! https://amzn.to/3PLIizy Storage is the key to Christmas take down and I beg you to get proper ornament storage, it is a game changer.  It is so much more aesthetically pleasing but also, your precious ornaments are safer than the cardboard box you keep relabeling every year.  This cute ornament is the Don Cesar Hotel in Florida.  We bought it there over the summer and then in the fall a lot of that area got destroyed so I was glad we had this to remember what it was like when we were there.  If you still have your Christmas Tree up, take it down today.  It's time to decorate for Valentines Day! 

I have over 2 decades of radio experience and have been to countless live shows and I do just fine there. But I get very sonically overwhelmed and it does not end well for anyone.  Over stimulation in adults just looks like absolute rude behavior.  I'm just trying to get a grasp on why I can hear the person 4 rows aways shoestrings.  You have probably seen a toddler or younger kid with headphones on at the most inopportune time and you may have wondered to yourself 'what could possibly that important'?  Controlling what I am hearing and when is paramount to me.  Invest in yourself this year and get yourself some earbuds.  I love these Catitru earbuds.  They are wildly comfortable and cute.  And the best part is they're barely visible so you really can wear them anytime you want.  And I definitely do.  If I start to feel over stimulated or getting anxious, I pop them in and pick my favorite murder podcast and relax.  It's all i can hear and I'm focused on that and not a million other noises allowing me to remain calm and cool on the outside.  I can tune everything else out and just be with me in my own head.  These stay charged for very long time too, which I also love.  https://amzn.to/4h7fbmy Tune the world out and tune into yourself, you're worth it babe. 

Here we are in the last couple of weeks in January and how are you? Tomorrow is Blue Monday, The Most Depressing Day of the Year, are you ready? Are you familiar with the term?  The theory goes that the third Monday in January is the time of year when everyone is cold, less well off after the holidays, yearning for sunnier days, and riddled with guilt that new year's resolutions have fallen by the wayside. Are you ok?  I'm thriving most days honestly.  I love it here. But I have been going thru it for the last few days and I am not sure why but I had a really hard  time trying to connect a wireless mic to my laptop and failed epically. I spent a literal 2 days crying that. Tears.  Actual real tears, for 2 days.  And it's still not connected. But anywho, it happens and like a G, I bounced right back.  Updates to the blog include Inaugural Fashion, Aisle Lice (Trust me its not what you think!) and the best fast food options if you are still on your healthy weightloss journey.  Dry January is still here too, so if you're observing and you're still on pace with no pilsner, I am proud of you.  It's really hard to stop drinking and I am proud of anyone who can reach their own goals with that. My favorite N/A drink, Recess, is on sale at Amazon right now, and I promise you, its a game changer. https://amzn.to/4aqJS3w   Enjoy and I love you! xoxo, angie nash

LET. IT. SNOW! There is snow all over the country and its wild to see so much snow so far to the south.  Places who rarely see snow are seeing inches this year.  It's so fun to see all the doggos and babies playing in the snow for the first time.  Head over to my Food blog for a recipe for Snow Ice Cream and in the Fashion Blog all the best sweaters you can find on sale this weekend.  Spend some time looking for your next vacation today and fold that laundry on the couch. In the Relationship Blog today learn all about my love of being a trad wife and the guide that got me here.  I'm still watching Dallas on season 5 now, updates coming soon to youtube, I just finished the final chapter of Natalia Grace and still have no idea what's going on there.  Take a minute this weekend to catch up on what's happening on the left coast where the entire LA County is burning and its absolutely devastating to see.  Our friends on the West Coast are going to need all the support they can get, if you're not sure how to help, sending a simple donation works the best.  Send it to a reputable organization. Do your homework.  Here is a direct link to the LAFD https://lafd.org/news/wildfire-donations-your-generosity-inspiring 

Last night kicked off the second best season of the year.... Awards Season!  The Golden Globes are the loosest and seemingly the most fun of all the awards show.  BTW fun Angie fact is that I would 100% absolutely love to go to an awards show sometime.  I never have been, but I feel like the CMA's or the VMA's would be the ultimate.  "The Brutalist" won big at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards, which honored the best of both television and film from the past year.  The real winners are the stylists in my opinion.  I have loved awards shows all my life, but when I started watching them it was because celebrities were so much more elusive.  Now you can have instant access to anyone at any time.  The fashion is always one of my favorite parts.  The grammys, The Oscars, The Razzies and everything in between are right around the corner so put on your favorite caftan and house shoes and sit back and relax and judge all lewks, cheer for our favorites and get the plot lines of all the movies we haven't seen or even heard of.  Cheers to awards season and remember, everyone is winner in someone's eyes. 

This is the absolute busiest time of the year for gyms and healthclubs.  Everyone has a New Years resolution to be healthier, get fit etc. And sometimes that includes drying out from all your holiday festivities and not drinking any alcohol all month. Hence, Dry January.  There are some cool sober alternatives.  Adaptogens, moody drinks etc.  I wish more clubs and restaurants offered that option instead of just the usual Diet Coke or Shirley Temple options you get if you are not drinking.  There are many more options than there were a few years ago, so that's a step in the right direction. I cut back massively on my boozy ways.  Mainly for health reasons, I was gaining so much weight and just super unhealthy.  Now that I wake up without a hangover, and I don't have blackout nights and I'm not spending tons of money on booze, I am really glad I took the step back.  I still love a good cocktail, but now more occasionally and socially than my need for it every day.  I love the Recess drinks and N/A beer but this Free AF mocktails taste like the real thing.  Its the party with out the passout.  https://amzn.to/42qWO7C  Cheers and Happy New Year!
