Yesterday I took my first sick day in a LONG time…I forgot how miserable I get when I’m the least bit ill. I may or may not have sent a text to my mom saying “how’s about you drive over here to put my sheets on my bed and rub my back?” (side note: she didn’t do it. I’m pathetic. I waited until right before bedtime to put the sheets on my bed.)
While these pics weren’t taken yesterday (obviously, if you saw my snapchats) I did think it was a good time to post them, since they basically portray a more put-together version of my sick day. Whether you’re on your deathbed (#dramatic) or just taking a personal day, scroll down for my favourite teas, cozy clothes, and Netflix pix.
TEA. Days at home are all about tea. It may seem simple, but a yummy cup of tea makes all the difference.
My FAVOURITE tea right now is the Tetley Clarity tea. It’s a blueberry ginseng flavoured herbal tea, and it is JUST what the doctor ordered. I also recommend any and everything from David’s Tea, or the Celestial Sleepytime Vanilla tea for the end of your day.
Gals, we too can rock the man bun. Since I cut my hair shorter, by the end of the day I’ve usually tossed my hair up in a half messy bun. It can be super chic when done properly, but it really is just my laziness shining through (as seen in these photos…)
I like to think I’ve moved on from my navy Queen’s sweats that I once wore for 14 days straight during exams (oops), but they are still a go-to when I feel gross. For days that I feel a little more human, I got these pants at Forever 21. They make me feel “productive” when I’m really just being a bum. They’re so soft and comfy, but if I’m suddenly required to make a trip outside (this never happens, but IF IT DID) they are trendy enough to be seen outside of the house.
This ancient top from VS Pink, on the other hand, is really more of an at-home favourite. It’s pretty loose and low cut at the top, but this makes for extra comfort. It is one of the softest, most worn-in shirts I own, and it’s like a hybrid between a t-shirt and a long sleeved top.
Fuzzy boots (aka slippers) are my weakness. I have 3 pairs (WHY) in patterns ranging from leopard to sequined zebra, but these mouse slippers are my fave. I wear fuzzy boots out SO quickly, so if you find any other cute pairs, please let me know…Old Navy usually has some in the winter time, but I’m always on the hunt for new cozy slippers.
Finally here are some of my Netflix picks at the moment. Watch any or all of them and enjoy the BEST DAY OFF EVER.
- The Good Wife (honestly I’m ADDICTED and there are 5 seasons on Netflix…SOS send help)
- Bloodline (I haven’t actually watched this yet, but I’m DYING to…as soon as I’m done The Good Wife, IT’S ON.)
- Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (pinot noir. Obsessed, along with the rest of the planet.)
- Any and every documentary (I watched Blackfish for the first time and subsequently watched every video on Youtube of orca whales)
