Stained Couture’s weekly series, Link-End Round-Up, features interesting reads I read from around the internet this week.

As of tomorrow, it would be 2 weeks since I’ve been sick. Bronchitis is horrible. However, I can happily say that I’m at about 90-95% back to my normal self. Currently, I’m just craving some normalcy back into my life. My work/life balance has been all the way off. I worked from home for a few days these past 2 weeks, which I don’t like doing unless I have to. However, I was too sick and weak to partake in cubicle life.

I still have to get rid of this last bit of cough and get my voice back. After that, ya girl is back! *Sips ginger peppermint green tea*

As usual after I get over being sick, I’m spending this weekend deep cleaning and disinfecting my home. I’m swinging my Target after work to load up on laundry detergent and Lyson cleaners and disinfectant spray. I have piles of laundry that have been waiting for me to get off my “death” bead. Plus, I’m running out of clean clothes.

On Sunday night, I’m going to treat my skin to a spa night. While I was sick, I was sweating so much at the beginning and got dehydrated. Therefore, my skin got very dry and shallow. I plan to deep clean my skin and do some multi-masking. Time to make my skin plump and hydrated again.

Hopefully, between my cleaning frenzy this weekend, my brain and I will become cohesive and start coming up with blogging ideas. There’s hardly been any creative juices flowing in my brain these past couple of weeks, but that’s about to change.

I hope everyone has an amazing weekend keep your fingers crossed that I pop up next week with some new posts. *fingers crossed*

Stained Couture’s weekly series, Link-End Round-Up, features interesting reads I read from around the internet this week.

I’m so over this week. I’ve been trying to fight off a summer cold all week, but it caught my sister/roommate. So, I’ve been trying to keep my distance from her. However, a stomach bug did catch me out of nowhere on Wednesday at work. So, I ended up leaving early to work from home. Like I said, I’m over this week.

Work has been a little hectic and some mini projects have popped up. So, I might be cashing in some overtime this weekend since I didn’t have any plans. Plus, who doesn’t love a little extra money on their paycheck? Am I right?!

I’m so glad that it’s Friday! After work, I plan to go home, finally wash my hair this week, and do some laundry. Oh, and I need to clean my makeup brushes and sponges, because I feel like it’s been forever since I deep cleaned them. I love Friday nights at home doing light housework knowing I don’t have to get up in the morning to go to work.
