December Monthly Goals 2018

December is going to be a great catch up month for me because I don’t have any classes for grad school until January so I have put together a list of things I want to accomplish this month!

1. Reorganize my office/craft room
My office has become a dumping ground basically since we moved into our house. I want to get all new furniture and completely redo my office this month. I have some extended vacation time at end of month, so I am hoping to get this done so I can share it with you all!

2. Exercise
My goal for December is to get to the gym at least 2-3 times a week. I have been very lazy the last couple months, so now is the perfect to get back into a routine before all the new people join in January.

3. Read
I have many books on my to-read list that I really want to try and read 5 books this month. I have really enjoyed getting back into this reading when I was on vacation, so it’s the perfect time to snuggle up with a good book.

4. Spent time with friends and family
This is a no-brained for the holidays but since I have some extra free time I want to try and make it a habit to spend more time with friends and family.

5. YouTube/ Blog
My goal for YouTube is to upload 2-3 times a week this month while I have extra time. I would also really like upgrade my filming camera but we will see about that. I would also like to blog at least once a week since I recently upgraded my layout.
What are your goals for this month?

Some of My Favorite Snacks

These are some of my favorite snacks to bring to work and they are all better for you than something out of the vending machine at your office, college, etc.

Special K Cracker Chips - These are so delicious and 25 chips is only 120 calories!

Almonds - Probably one of the best snacks for you. Eat as many as you like!

Fiber One Brownie Bars - I enjoy these as a mid-morning snack and they are only 90 calories!

What are your favorite snack foods?

OOTD 8/13/14

Please ignore all my recyclables in the background :)

Cardigan - TJ Maxx

Tank Top - Target

Pants - JC Penney

Shoes - TJ Maxx

Engagement Ring

Bracelet - Eye Candy Los Angeles

Today I wore a pretty simple yet easy outfit. It looks like this outfit took a lot of effort but only took about 15 minutes to put together. It was a gloomy day, so I didn't feel very colorful I paired a patterned tank top from Target with a cardigan and ankle pants. This was a very comfy outfit and great for a day where I didn't have a ton of important meetings to attend.

What is your go to outfit for looking put together?

Sky Blue: An OOTD

Dress - Banana Republic

Cardigan - Gap

Necklace - Banana Republic

Leggings - Target

Shoes - Target

Wow, I have been MIA for a while. My life has been so crazy these past few weeks I don't even know where to begin. I have been looking at wedding venues, been just crazy busy at work,  and my fiancé's father recently got very ill and will now been spending the rest of his life in a nursing home. I've had no time to post anything on this blog or my youtube channel. Today I was feeling springy, although the thermometer never got over 45 degrees. I got this dress back in February and this is the first time I have worn it to work. I paired it with some leggings in a little black cardigan. I love this dress because it is made of the most comfortable fabric and it helps cover-up my trouble areas, which are mainly my tummy and butt. I really want to get a pair of white sandals and a white cardigan/jacket to pair with this dress in the spring. Hope you're all doing well!

What I Got for my 24th Birthday ❤️

I went shopping over the past weekend for my 24th birthday and here are the few things I decided to purchase. We went to Ikea, Ulta, and Banana Republic.I got the Hemnes Nightstand from Ikea in Black-Brown.I am obsessed with the Hemnes line at Ikea and am looking to buy a new dresser this summer possibly!

Work Outfits of the Week: Feb 4-8

So this week I decided to film an outfits of the week video so everybody can see the types of outfits I wear to work on a regular basis! I have to dress business casual because that is the dress code of my office. I work for a local hospital in their Information Services department as an Application Specialist for business and financial systems. My job sounds complicated, but it really isn't.

I get the majority of my work clothing at JC Penny, Target, Marshalls and Kohls.

Thanks for watching and thank you for 25 followers , you guys are awesome!

February Task: Blogger's Office & Organization

February's Beauty Blogger Task  is all about blogger organization and office space.

• Where do you blog? I typically blog in my bedroom. I will sometimes sit at my desk. I usually  sit on my bed. I would love to be organized in how I blog eventually when I get my own place, to maybe even have an office/room dedicated to blogging and videos would be amazing! But for now, I have to deal with the space I have been given.
• What do you blog on? I blog on my laptop, which is a MacBook Pro 13". I also use it to edit and upload my YouTube videos.
• Do you have any blogging rituals? I like to have snacks with me if I am working on a long post, otherwise I tend to listen to music in the background.
• How do you keep your blogging ideas organized? I used to keep a journal with blog/video ideas but now if a topic comes to mind, I will just sit down and start blogging.
• Do you have a blogging schedule for the week? Or the month? I don't have a schedule at this point. I blog when I want to and I post as many or as few times as I want to. There may be time periods where I blog three or four times a week and times where I only blog once a week, if that.
• If you review products, how do you keep track of what needs to be reviewed in your collection? 
• What do you do with all your "old" data? For now, everything is stored on my laptop. I would like to invest in an external hard drive because storing all these photos and raw video footage takes up a LOT of space on your computer. I will occasionally deleted old photos and videos but I would like to be able to keep everything in case my blog gets accidentally deleted.
• For fun, what beauty/non-beauty products do you need to have on hand near your blogging station? Honestly, like I said in a different questions, I keep snacks or drinks nearby.
