Favorite Song:

I was so excited when Coldplay came out with new music. I am a huge fan, and this song just puts me in a good mood!

Favorite Drink:

This week, I'm obsessing over my regular drink from Starbuck's, a green tea latte. It is such a delicious pick me up and a great alternative to when I'm not in the mood for coffee.

Favorite Quote:

"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom."

-Aristotle

Being it is a new year, this quote resonated with me. I am always trying to work on myself and it is a big challenge. I try and do subtle things each and every day that'll make me happy. 

Favorite YouTuber:

Desi Perkins

Desi has always been a favorite of mine, but this week she wins the top spot. When I first discovered Desi, she was a blonde bombshell doing amazing makeup week after week. Recently, she started a vlog channel with her husband, Steven. Their editing skills are amazing and it makes me appreciate their work so much. And also, Desi went brunette this week and I am DYING at how beautiful she looks!

Favorite Brand:

I have obsessed over Club Monaco for as long as I can remember. I've always wanted to be able to afford their clothing, but it was always too expensive for me. Recently, I went on their site and noticed they were having a sale. I finally can say I own something from their store and I am super excited to style it. I bought the Lindy Soft Trench in olive and I am so in love. The coat is so soft and lightweight, and I cannot wait to layer pieces with it and wear big chunky scarves. 

Enjoy!

New Year's Resolutions : 1|3|16

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog, and once again Happy New Year! I hope everyone is having a great day and a fresh start to the new year. Now that the new year is upon us, I thought I would share my New Year's resolutions with you all. Of course I have some of the generic resolutions like everyone else has but I'm trying to better myself in all aspects of my life so some resolutions may seem small and trivial, but I think they will improve my overall self-confidence and help myself on beginning to truly love myself. Without further ado, here are my New Year's Resolutions!

1. Eat cleaner and drink more water- I know this sounds like a basic resolution that everyone chooses, but I do need to take better care of my body because as cliche as it may sound, you only get one so you better make the most of it. 

2.Get out and exercise more- I want to make a point of going out everyday for a walk. Whether it be just around the block, or walking a couple of miles, I think it will be good for me to just be alone with my thoughts. I also want to start a challenge or possibly join the Tone It Up community and improve my overall health. 

3.Read more books- I used to read all of the time. I recently received the book, Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert from my boyfriend for Christmas and I plan to start reading it this week. I want to read more books about improving yourself and finding your inner creativeness. I think and I know reading will improve my knowledge and learn about new things every day. 

4.Appreciate more- I just want to be more grateful for what I already have. I often get down on myself because I am nowhere near where I want to be, but that is okay. I am on a journey to achieve my dreams. I have to realize it takes time to achieve your goals, but they are attainable. I want to appreciate my family and close relationships more, I want to appreciate everything that I already own, and I want to appreciate myself more and realize that I am doing the best that I can. 

5. Start a YouTube Channel- This is my most terrifying resolution and I am finally going to pursue it. I have wanted to start a YouTube channel since I was 15 years old. I am now 23, and I think I am ready to start creating content that I want to share with the world. I am terrified of the hate and negativity, but I hope the happiness and positivity outweighs the bad. Here's to sharing my creative side in 2016!

Enjoy!
