2018 New Year's Resolutions

Happy New Years, guys! Sean and I decided to have a lazy day yesterday where we stayed in our pjs, ate Cuban food and caught up on some episodes of Nashville while we waited to watch the ball drop from the comfort of our couch (the best idea ever). We wrote down some New Year's Resolutions last night that I wanted to share with you all and hopefully this will help to not only motivate myself but some of you as well, now lets get into it!

1. Making A Healthy Lifestyle Change - I really want to focus on making my health a priority this year! I'm not talking about just the typical "lose weight" goal but I want to focus on drinking more water, going on more walks/runs, eating less junk food and eating out in general, and more cooking meals at home with my husband. He got me the "Weekday Weekend" cookbook from A Beautiful Mess for Christmas so we will be using lots of yummy recipes from that!

2. Striving To Be Positive - I felt like there were many moments this year and situations that made me feel negative, icky, and really just took over my happiness. This year I want to focus on not sweating the small stuff and making a conscious effort to look on the bright-side. I am so blessed and happy with my life, I want to make sure I am showing gratitude and being positive. 

3. Allowing Time To Be Creative - When you work full-time it can make you feel extremely exhausted and it's hard to find time to do the things you love, but I want to make sure I am allowing myself time to be creative! I love to craft, film and blog, so I am going to make sure I am scheduling myself time to do so. I purchased this super cute planner from Anthropologie (my place of work) to help me stay on track!

                                                                                                                                                        Source: Anthropologie

4. Be Consistent- This ties in with goal #3 but I really just want to focus this year on posting more frequently on my channel and this blog! It's something that I feel so passionately about and love doing! Consistency is key.  

5. Budget - Sean and I have lots and lots of things coming up this year, from the wedding to the honeymoon, moving in the fall, etc. So we want to make budgeting a focus this year by trying to be smarter with our money and saving!

2017 was filled with so much change. I started a brand new big girl job as a manager at Anthropologie, I married the love of my life, we went through loss, and had so many ups and downs together. This year we will be having the wedding of our dreams, honeymooning in Mexico, moving into our first place together in the fall and I can't wait to see what 2018 has in store for us. I am blessed beyond measure and the happiest girl in the world.

I hope my list of New Year's resolutions have inspired some of you guys, and thank you so much for reading! What are some of resolutions you have down on your list? I would love to know in the comments below! 

-Sincerely, Ken.
