Well, February was a MONTH, wasn’t it? Does anyone else feel like you went into 2026 with all the good intentions and already, life’s just happened? Anyway, February was a lot, and I spent the last week of it prepping for March. Before I get into my March goals in my next post, let’s first do a February 2026 in review post.
MY CAREER IN LIMBO
I’ll be honest, I’m not entirely sure what to do with my life, in terms of my career. I’ve been back at my old Post Office job since October, but I’ve barely found the energy to run my business and blog alongside it. Considering I only work 2-3 days a week, I don’t know how I’d cope with a full-time job! In February, I’ve had a couple of interviews for various roles, but none have been successful. However, I’m thinking that I stick where I am for the time being and continue to work on my business, blog and health. Getting myself organised and balancing these three areas with my part-time job. I guess I’m just desperate to have my own place so I need a consistent monthly income!
FIRST PRESS NIGHT OF 2026
For the first press night of the year, I took my dad to see the Buddy Holly Story. I’m surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did, considering I thought I barely knew any Buddy songs beforehand! However, the actor-musicians took his music to a whole other level, despite the storyline/dialogue being a little thin.
A DAY TRIP TO LEEDS TO SEE SUNNY AFTERNOON
Now, for another show that I’m also shocked at how much I loved it. I won’t give too much away because the review is coming later in the week, but safe to say, I’d love to rebook it again if it ever toured again! My day in Leeds consisted of a wander around Trinity, dinner at Zizzi with 30% off food, and a couple of stops off at Costa. I’d been saving up my free drinks, so I made use of them with large sizes and syrups!
GETTING BACK INTO SIDE HUSTLING
I love making money, it’s just such a hassle to side hustle! However, I have so much stuff in my bedroom and home office that I need to get rid of some stuff. So far, I’ve uploaded three tops to Vinted and have a pile of stuff to upload, too. I also need to get back into online surveys and upload my ID to Prolific again. There are a handful of apps, but they have such a low return for the amount of time they can take!
PREPPING FOR MY MARCH CHALLENGE
Instead of restarting 75 Hard/Medium/Soft, I’ve decided to use March as the month to focus on my routines. Each day, I want to try to do one thing in each of the following categories to move the needle. The categories of focus are health/fitness, beauty, blog, business, finances and hobbies. The idea is to improve my life 1% a day in all six areas. I might not add something to each category every single day, but hitting at least half of them will be an improvement on life right now!
And that’s everything for my February 2026 in review. It was a slow month with a lack of energy, but hopefully, things are looking up. You can find my other monthly reviews and goals right here, too. Don’t forget to follow me on Twitter, Instagram and TikTok!
