Life Lately February 2025

Welcome back to Life Lately, the February edition! I am excited to recap what I’ve been up to in January and share my plans for February 2025 and life behind the scenes.

January flew by so quickly! It was such a busy and hectic month work wise.

I started my kitchen renovation in January and it should be completed by end of February. I’m so excited to share the reveal and what it looked like before and after, stay tuned for a blog post on all things kitchen related! The kitchen is the last room in my house that needed work done. I have been planning out the design of this kitchen back in 2022 when I originally purchased this condo.

Firstly, speaking of before and afters, my recent bathroom renovation was featured in Apartment Therapy! Secondly, I’m so excited to share this article as this bathroom renovation took the longest to complete. As a result, it truly was a labor of love with blood, sweat and tears poured into that project.

While I do have other smaller home projects I’d like to get to this year, the kitchen is the main priority this year.

Currently Eating

With the kitchen being a construction zone, I have had to create a makeshift kitchen in my bedroom and office which houses all my dishes and glassware. For February, I will be relying on pre-made and microwaveable meals. My kitchen right now is under construction and is not functionable to cook.

I am also taking advantage of this opportunity and splurging on take out and treating myself occasionally.

In addition, February 2025 marks almost ten years since I’ve been eating Dunkin Donuts brownie batter donut. This is something I look forward to this all year and I certainly am not the biggest fan of donuts!

Breakfast is something I’ve been neglecting lately and I’ve learned that I absolutely need to eat something in the morning, if I don’t, then I’ll have a migraine throughout the day. Also, shoutout to Starbucks for their iced coffee that keeps me going throughout the day.

Currently Watching

I finished all five seasons of Prison Break and I truly loved how the show ended. Each character’s story had a beautiful ending.

I also finally got around to watching the sixth season of Virgin River. This show really knows how to keep the viewers on their toes especially with their finale episodes. It’s always the last ten to fifteen minutes of the show where major findings and revelations are revealed. I can’t wait for season seven to come out!

Season two of The Night Agent came out in January and I have been slowly watching this season. This show is so captivating and really grabs by attention with each scene.

Love is Blind is also returning for another season this month and I cannot wait to see who the cast is for this coming season.

Life Behind the Scenes

I’ve been making an effort to move my body more and to get out of the house. I joined a fitness class and it’s been challenging and rewarding in many ways.

Additionally, I’ve been meeting new friends through Bumble BFF and I’ve had such an amazing experience. Being able to form connections with people is so important to me, especially since my two close friends live abroad. I’m planning on hosting a small galentine’s party this month with a few of the friends I made from Bumble!

Aside from my kitchen renovation, I am planning to travel a bit more this year. I want to focus on taking day trips over the weekend and a few international trips this year.

Nala

Nala is actually staying at my parents house until the kitchen renovation is complete. It’s not clean or safe for her to be around all the dust and the loud noises. She’s very spoiled at my parents house and even there, she rules the house. Her morning routine at my parents house is very specific. Every morning, she wakes up and talks to the birds and squirrels waiting for her by the patio. Her friends will definitely miss her when she comes back home.

She has also determined when I can and cannot work, see photo below for her response:
