I was in a bad bad mood yesterday. Very bad.
I would like to say that I woke up on the right side of the bed this morning, however, my toddler son spent most of the night curled up in the middle of my bed after a failed pillow-hijacking attempt. So to answer that first part: No, I didn't sleep very well nor did I wake up on the right side of the bed.
I scurried into the shower shortly after his dad whisked him away in anticipation of trying a few goodies I had picked up yesterday from the Body Shop.
I am not a fan of the Body Shop as I don't think their products are quite worth the money, but I do have some sort of nostalgia for the place. I remember cooing over their products in high school and even worked at a local store during the summer.
Still, I found myself in a nearby store while killing time on my lunch break. I figured that trying a new scent would deliver a quick pick me up. It did.
The products weren't any better than what I could have found in the drugstore but I took advantage of a fairly decent sale and also nabbed a free body cleanser. I'm already looking forward to taking my next shower tomorrow morning, if not tonight.

Spring Cleaning
I am actually looking forward to doing some spring cleaning next week. I am most interested in creating a more tranquil and relaxing environment for myself and my son.
My first step is to declutter, declutter and, well, declutter. Maybe I don't have that much decluttering to do -- just need to better organized my "stuff."
I am proud of myself for tackling the vast majority of my clutter and for understanding why my apartment looks like a paper tornado swept through.
I normally put things off whenever I am stressed or overwhelmed. So that magazine that I've been meaning to read ends up sitting on my kitchen table for at least a month or those personal finance articles that have been sitting around for much longer.
Not sure what's left to do once I declutter. It's still a bit chilly in New York which means candles are still in season. I love candles but feel odd about burning them in the middle of summer so I try to switch things up by buying fresh flowers instead.
That said, I am looking forward to burning a candle tonight as I just want to sit and bask in its warm glow. Sometimes it's the littlest things that matter most.
