2018 Goals and Resolutions

So, are a blogger, I am obligate to write a post all about my goals and resolutions for 2018. There are a number of things I want to achieve in 2018 that aren't just for my blog and youtube that I would like to share with you today!

My goals for my youtube and blog are:

• upload two videos a week
• publish a blog post once a week
• Trying new things such as doing live videos

My ultimate goals for 2018 are to be able to work with a brand on a sponsored post/video. I would also like to have 2000 subscribers by the end of 2018. I will try and achieve this by uploading consistently and creating unique content for the blog and channel.

My personal goals include:

• working out 3-times a week for at least 30-60 minutes
• paying down debt on student loans and car loans
• self-care
• travel

These are things everybody wants to achieve in a year but I am SO tired of paying our stupid student loans every month. I am going to consciously try to apply any extra money we have to our student loans and fingers crossed, pay off the remainder on my student loan which has approximately 8,000 dollars left. I will continue going to orangetheory fitness once a week and workout from home the other days of the week. I want to get outside more and go for more walks on my lunch breaks to help break up my day better. I also want to meal prep every week and eat healthier. I want to treat myself to manicures, pedicures, and massages more often as my self-care goal. I LOVE traveling, so I want to try and take 3-5 mini trips this year and one big trip this summer!

I hope you found this helpful in creating your goals for 2018!

My blog got a makeover!

'Girl Behind the Blog'

So I have been blogging/making youtube videos for a little over two years now and I thought it might be a good idea to let you all know a little bit more about my personal life. I saw Kerralina do this post over on her blog and it really inspired me!

So far starters, my full name is Elizabeth.

I am half Italian and half Polish.

I am currently employed as an Application Specialist for a local hospital. 

I graduated from college in May 2012 with my Bachelor of Arts in Information Science. 

I am considering going back to school for my Masters Degree in Information Science.

I have been dating my boyfriend for almost five years.

I love to travel! My goal is to travel to Europe within the next five years. 

I would go sooner but it is so expensive to fly internationally!

I am a Christian.

I would love to see other fellow bloggers do this post as well

xoxo Liz

Quick Update

I just wanted to let everybody know that this week I am starting a new full time job, so it will be a lot more difficult to work on blog posts as well as videos for my YouTube channel. My goals for videos and blog posts are as follows: two videos a week and 1-2 blog posts a week. I managed to do this earlier this fall when I took a temporary position and it worked out pretty darn good. I usually like to pre-film videos on weekends and work on blog posts at night, if I have the time.

I also would like to continue the upload schedule I put in my place on channel before, where I would upload videos on Tuesdays and Thursday, so if that sounds like a good idea, I will continue to do that with my videos.

If you have any requests from me, for a video or a blog post, please leave them in the comments section below or feel free to contact me on any of my social media sites!
