It's National Drink Wine Day!

Pour yourself a cup of adult juice today to celebrate! If you aren't legal, get some of that children's wine (grape juice) to celebrate! 

Happy Friday Friends!!!

Happy Newsletter Friday! Welcome to those of you who are reading this for the first time and welcome back to those returning! Let's kick it off with the anticipated poll results!

THE POLL RESULTS: 

Winter... what a ROUGH season it can be. Some people love it, some people hate it (I hate it). When it comes to discussing the best winter activity, it appears that there is a major discrepancy. Y'all can't seem to agree on whether building a snowman is better than sledding. What is the best winter activity then?!

Before I reveal the winner, I want to point out that 7 different responses tied for last and then 2 tied for first. Y'all really couldn't agree on just one. The two that are tied between are "Ice Skating" and "Curling up with a good book." Because of the tie, I get to pick (rules are rules...) and the winner is *DRUMROLL PLEASE*... CURLING UP WITH A GOOD BOOK!

Valentine's Day was this past week! I know there were many eye rolls alongside the gushy posts about love. Regardless of whether you are single or in a relationship, love is an important thing to be reminded about. The love that I am talking about is self-love. Loving yourself is sometimes hard but, it is important. I am here to remind y'all that you are enough and that there is love in the world for you. Even though Valentine's Day was this past week, let's go forward and find love around us every day!

News about my life! The YouTube journey is back! I know this is unexpected, I didn't expect it myself. This next chapter is going to look a little different though. The YouTube channel isn't going to have a regular release schedule and the content is going to be focused around the journey of Nikki Lodeon. Buckle up because who knows where this roller coaster will lead to!
