The cold weather has finally gotten the best of me as I have spent the entire weekend trying to recover from the flu. When you are sick, rest is one of the most beneficial components to getting better. However, this can be hard for someone like me who can never sit still. I put together my 5 necessities that has helped me stay put, rest and fight the battle.
- Vogue magazine – I had to check out what all the talk about was with Dunham
- Fun color nail polish – I chose a fun color to help lift my spirits
- Flappy Bird Game – If you have not downloaded this game on your phone yet…your welcome and I’m sorry as it is highly addictive
- A Storm of Swords (Book 3) of A Song of Ice and Fire – As Season 4 is approaching I have decided to refresh my memory in anticipation of all the excitement we are about to be throne back into come April!
- Homemade Lentil Soup – My husband was kind enough to make me some homemade kale lentil soup. Sick or not, you will love this easy recipe below!
