Welcome
to my first blog in 2013!
I
was an awful blogger last year. AWFUL. I
just haven’t had the gumption or interesting content to write. Stuck in a rut.
I
did feel compelled to write today, however, to talk about my yearly goals and
objectives. I’m not one to make “resolutions”-
the term “New Year’s Resolution” has become commercialized in my brain. Just strive to be a better version of
yourself, in whatever aspect of your life, and call it a day…..and no need to
start these goals JUST in the beginning of the year. Goals can be started at any point.
Here
are a few of mine:
·
Move back
to Alabama to be closer to friends and family- Yeah. You heard me.
I miss home. I moved to
Charleston last June. I thought moving
to a new location was what I wanted, but let me LET YA KNOW….the grass is most
definitely NOT greener on the other side of that tharr pasture.
·
Finally
commit to lose this extra weight before my 30th birthday- I turn
30 in October. I’ve seriously been
trying to lose this extra weight for two years now. TWO. Years. I just haven’t been able to make the habit
stick like I’ve done in the past. I know
what needs to be done, but I always let life’s little excuses get in the way.
Not this time. I’m hoping that moving
more towards 30 gives me the extra push that I need mentally. (In case you’re wondering, YES, I’ll still
have my wine in moderation.)
·
Save
money. SAVE! SAVE! SAVE!- The worst thing about being so active on the
internets is seeing all the cool stuff that’s out there to buy, buy, buy…..and
I, my friends, have a shopping addiction.
I admit it that it needs to end this year. I have a well-paying job and have credit
cards I need to shed. One of the reasons
I want to move back to Alabama is to save money. I still own my home there, but will be living
with my parents for awhile (*sigh* and *yay* at the same time). I didn’t even have a savings account up until
two weeks ago! Yikes indeed. This also
means no more frivolous spending unless I can honestly afford it. I love haul videos from YouTubers and I, of
COURSE, follow several beauty and fashion blogs. I think we all know how envious those can
make us sometimes. I’m stopping the insanity.
So tell me—what are your goals for this year? How do you want to improve your life?
I miss chatting with all of you, so leave those comments below!
My favorite is the last row, middle. BUT, I can’t stop loving the very last color.
I. LOVE. IT. I just feel like if I’m
going red, I better do it right and be happy with it. I get that the red process should maybe be
taken in baby steps, but this girl is ready for some color! (P.S. The third and eight photo are the same. lol. Oops)
