a restful january ⛄️✨ relaxing and realigning myself for a month ♡

During the month of January I took the time to rest, reflect, and reset ☺︎ I said yes to taking breaks, hanging out with friends, trying new things, learning to relax, and giving myself space so I can avoid risking burnout! I also finally got a desktop for the studio! 🥳 *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧
