January Favorites~ 2020

Good Morning,


It’s been a week. Horrible news… I know many of you have heard about the news of Kobe Bryant, his 13-year daughter, and the other passengers on the helicopter. All I kept thinking of was his wife Vanessa. I can’t imagine what she is going through right now.  My family and I said prayers for them… it is truly heartbreaking.



Well, let us move on into my favorites for January before I get sad all over again. 





I’ll start off with my new Day Designer that I found at Target. Now I did not find this online. I found it inside my local Target. 

My new one is the black and gold one. I love it! I have more room to write, I love the tabs and extra stickers. It was a great purchase for $18! I can’t seem to function without my Day Designer. I open it every day. Sometimes before I even touch my phone!
My second favorite was Alena Pettitt’s interview on the BBC Network regarding “trad wives”. I thought she did a lovely job standing up for femininity and embracing being a stay at home mom.  Way to go Alena!


My third favorite has been my toile inspired bangle bracelet from Talbots. Beautiful, isn’t it?

Fourth on my favorite’s list are these beautiful Coach Wren Pumps from Von Maur. I have not worn them yet but they fit well and I am looking forward to wearing them this spring and summer. 


Fifth on my list has been my long lost love fragrance…. night-blooming jasmine.

It is still sold out online. I have had numerous women stop me left and right and ask me what I am wearing. I love this scent! I have already emailed the customer service staff at Bath and Body Works asking them to please return it on a permanent basis. We shall see!

Sixth on my list has been baby’s breath. I don’t know why but that has been the only floral bouquet that I have been buying at the store. It gives such a light soft scent in my office and home. It has been really enjoyable. 



I also love my black cape and faux fur gloves that have been my winter gear for this season. I forgot to take a photo of them. Maybe I will share it in a video. 


I hope you all have a great day and we will chat soon!

    Dear Mrs.Shockley,
    The day designer is a favorite of mine too, since you shared your daily planning video. I immediately went out looking for a 2020 day designer. I am also loving the night blooming jasmine. Thanks for the inspiration!

      Hello Mya,
      I am so glad that you use the Day Designer! I love it! I try to move on to other planners but always come back to this one. Do you really like the night blooming jasmine? I have gotten lots of compliments on it.
