It seemed like Year 2024 had just started not too long ago, but we are already in April. Working from home has saved me some commute time, but it also keeps me busier than ever. I feel like each day goes by much too fast for me.
The consolation I have from working from home is to choose where I want to work in the house. I have set up my desk by the window and it gives me the opportunity to watch Spring puts its magic touch on all the plants and flowers in our backyard. I got to watch the plans coming back to life from their dormant state. I guess working from home is not that bad after all.
To enjoy the Spring to the fullest, I have several things I am doing this month.
Food/Drink
New Coffee for Afternoon Pick-me-up: I am a big fan of Nespresso coffee. In addition to my daily morning Nespresso coffee routine, I like to drink a 2nd cup of Nespresso coffee in the afternoon when I work from home.
Nespresso recently released a new limited edition Maple Pecan flavored coffee. This is supposed to be a medium roast blend. In my opinion, this Maple Pecan coffee tastes a little bit more on the lighter side. However, I really like the Maple Pecan aroma and it’s perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up.
Accessories
New Versatile Handbag: My new favorite accessory is the red Marc Jacobs’ Small Leather Tote bag. I have been using it on my recent wine tasting trips. It’s a perfect bag to hold all my essential stuff, such as wallet, phone, lip gloss and sunglasses. See more information on the bag.
Lifestyle
New Piano Song to Learn for Self-fulfillment: Playing the piano is one of my favorite hobbies. While I enjoy practicing the songs I’ve already known how to play, I also love to learn new songs on a regular basis. My recent new favorite song to learn is Chopin’s Nocturne No. 19 in E Minor, Op. 72 No. 1. To me, this is a very beautiful song, but has some unspoken sadness in the melody. I think it will take me a while to master this song, but I am confident that I will keep at it until I do.
Nail
New Red Glitter Gel Nails: Red is my go-to color when it comes to getting my nails done each month. For this month, I have red nail covers covered with glitter and rhinestones aligned on each finger.
Travel
Wine Tasting in Lake Chelan, Washington: I’ve heard many great things about Lake Chelan in Washington, but I have never visited there before. I finally got the opportunity to visit Lake Chelan at the beginning of this month. The weather was very nice. Given that it was still off-season, the town wasn’t crowded. It was a perfect time to visit the town and the wineries.
