The Lou & Grey Dress

My brain is still 100% in vacation mode.

You might have seen on snapchat or instagram that I was in Alaska last week and it was really the most amazing trip. We were in Juneau for our entire trip and it was a week of exploring, whale watching, and eating the most delicious food. I’m planning on putting together a big post about the entire trip, but I don’t know when that will go up (hopefully soon though…I should really know these things).

One of my favorite parts about the trip though was that I got everything for my blog and work done before I left. That meant I could turn off email notifications, ignore twitter and facebook, and basically forget about work for a week. (I did do a little instagram and snapchat but I took a step back and just posted whenever I felt like it.

I was a little nervous about it going “off the grid” (ish) for a week, but it was the best decision I could have made. I don’t think that I really realized how much time I spend thinking about work and what I need to get done. It was amazing to just turn everything off and just relax. I came back from the trip a little excited to get some blog things done, but sad that my time to relax is over. It’s made me realize that I need to find more time to turn my brain off AND not think about work. I don’t really know how I’m going to do that once I’m back in DC, but I now know how necessary it is and that I need to find a way to do it. Any tips are more than welcome.

So what did I miss while I was gone?! What new things are going on in your life?
