New Years "Changes"

Hello everyone!

      I hope each and every one of you is having a great new year so far. Does anyone have any resolutions they would like to share? Comment below! I am the type to plan resolutions and have them fizzle out after only a couple of weeks. So this year I think I will call them something else, "changes", and see if they stick (worth a shot, right?).

So here is my list:

1 - Take better care of my body
This includes eating healthier, drinking a lot more water, following proper hair and skincare routines, and exercising. The hubby and I will be starting the new Insanity Max 30 workout series this coming Sunday (Jan 11) so I will keep you all up to date with our progress on that. I also want to just try and be more positive about myself - try loving my body a bit more instead of constantly bashing it for its flaws.

2 - Blog more
Here I am, world! I am going to aim for at least one post a week. :)

3 - Spend more quality time with my family
I want to plan fun excursions and maybe even some spontaneous trips for Mike, Lily and I. She is such an intelligent little girl and just absorbs everything around her, it's amazing to see what she learns every day. I want to take her to new places, see new things, explore and create memories. <3

4 - Read more books and watch less TV
I love books, always have, always will. I used to read SO much but I've grown up a bit and with the responsibilities of adulthood (boo!) I just haven't had as much time. Also, since having a child I really (!) don't have time. But I want to change this. I waste so much time watching re-runs of old TV shows when I could be reading! I also want to try and read several of the books that are being turned into movies this year, because its fun to compare the two (even though the books are always better). 

5 - Move up a level with Younique
I joined Younique in September of 2014. The business model is arranged so that you can move up in sales "levels" - all called different colors and mean different things - white, yellow, pink, blue, green, orange, purple and black. I started off as a "white-status" presenter and in November promoted to "yellow". This year I would love to hit pink or higher, that would be very exciting!  (If you haven't heard of Younique, check out my website and/or my facebook page. You can also ask any questions in the comments below.)

6 - Maybe, maybe, start a YouTube channel...
This is something I have thought about for a long time, but am very afraid to do. Firstly because I am not sure anyone would even be interested in watching a video by little old me, and secondly because there is a lot of hatred in the online world and that's scary. I will continue to give this some more thought. If you would actually be interested in seeing videos, or think its a horrible idea, please let me know in the comments.

Well I think that's everything, folks!

Thanks for taking the time to read my little goals for the year. Maybe writing them down and sharing them with all of you will keep me accountable. :)

Until next time my friends,
