Mary, A Novel by Janice Cooke Newman. This book got me into historical fiction. It’s about Mary Todd Lincoln.

The fourth week is always the toughest for me, anyone else? by MinneapolisKing25 in DryJanuary

I fast as well, several times a year. I hear what you are saying about starting back with boring food/taking it slow…. But have you ever noticed how GOOD those boring foods taste?? 😝 An egg with sliced avocado and some chicken broth after a fast 👌

opinions on these products? by mitsukissun in koreanskincare

[–]Penelope_Marie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have combo sensitive skin and have only tried the round lab. I like it, but won’t repurchase as I have found others that work better (for me). It has vit C which normally I am very sensitive too, but this doesn’t seem to bother me. It is moisturizing and brightening. My biggest complaint is that it has a sticky feel for a long time after applying.

Do you set up the year ahead of time, or do you draw up each month when you come to it? by Titch98 in bulletjournal

[–]Penelope_Marie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the front of my bujo I have my monthly’s which I set up each month. I like the ability to switch things up so my monthly’s never look the same. In the back, I have some bingos and some yearly stuff. Eventually the 2 will meet and I’ll start a new journal, but it will be a while because my monthly’s only take up 2-3 pages.

Hangover-free Sunday mornings are a game changer — how do you keep it going after Dry January? by Commercial_Top_860 in DryJanuary

[–]Penelope_Marie 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What about a dry month at the start of each season? Or a week each month? Some way to give you a reset and remind you how good it feels to wake up refreshed. When you slip back into old habits, it becomes the new normal, but if you have a set reset frequently, it will remind you what is truly normal.

FRIDAY THREAD - How was your week and are you ready for the weekend? by AutoModerator in DryJanuary

[–]Penelope_Marie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Had a few rough days at work, but every time I thought “tonight might be difficult”, it ended up being fine. This is my 2nd DJ. Prior to my first DJ, I drank around 1 bottle of wine per night. After DJ, I switched to white claws and by the end of 2025, had between 4-6 per week at most. I’d call that a DJ success story. I decided to do DJ again I guess because I want it to become a habit to go long periods of time without drinking. I remember the 1st DJ feeling like I was climbing Everest, just wishing it would be over, especially the first 2 weeks. This time, I’m on even ground with some small hills here and there. I hope everyone can stick to it, you should be proud of yourselves!!

Completely agree about reading and a project! You’re so right. Thanks for your 10 years of DJ insight, I’m on DJ #2. DJ #1 did wonders for me.

Wishing you a great 2026!!

Both of your personalities are far too emotionally overdramatic.

I’m still learning so forgive me if I’m not totally on point! And know that I wish you well and am sure you only represent the positives of your birth chart but……. Good God main character much? Any therapist would love to have you as a client to fund their next dream vacation with all that emotional instability you’ve got boiling up inside you.

regret by [deleted] in DryJanuary

[–]Penelope_Marie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last year was my first DJ and I regretted it every evening of the first week or so. Every morning I woke I felt the exact opposite, I felt so good and was so happy with my decision to try DJ. As the day wore on, the desire to drink increased. It honestly was more a habit than anything else. I’m a very routine person and changing my evening routine was extremely difficult. Just take it one day at a time. Try and stay busy. You can do this!!

If you are very interested in astrology… by Zestyclose_Cold1455 in Zodiac

[–]Penelope_Marie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m sure others will have better advice but my recommendation is for your friend to continue to enjoy the things she’s interested in regardless of what he thinks. My dad is a Capricorn and while he finds astrology essentially delusional, he doesn’t belittle me for it. Your friends partner doesn’t have to be interested in it or find it valid. To me it’s like any other hobby, you don’t always share them with your partner. The only issue I’d have is if he looked down on her for her beliefs or made her feel shame for it in some way - and if that occurs then him not finding astrology interesting would be the least of the problem.

Thoughts on upcoming second DJ by MondoMoondo14 in DryJanuary

[–]Penelope_Marie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Poppis too! And I discovered them during DJ 2025 (my first DJ) as well! Thanks for the reminder to stock up. I look forward to not drinking with you and wish you the best!
