Oh Hey, It's 2014

Anyone else think that 2013 absolutely flew by? I can't believe 2014 is already here but I'm so excited for all the possibilities and opportunities that this new year holds. Feeling especially excited for this year. It seems as if it's going to be a big, important one. A capital letters year if you will. 
Because I'm taking some extra time figuring out my resolutions and goals for the year I figured I share some of my favorite things around the web right now. 
one. Glitter Guide's Resolutions for 2014  I love this so very much.
two. Headspace's Take10 meditation program. One of my major goals for this year is to make more time for meditation and yoga. I think meditation has such incredible benefits and I really want to make it a daily practice. Headspace's app is a great starting point if you want to explore meditation and it's only 10 minutes a day which makes it super easy to ease into. 
three. What Courtney Wore I love Courtney's blog and her show on Bravo even more. She's sarcastic and funny and I love her style. 
four. Another Glitter Guide shout out. These mantras are perfect jumping off points when reflecting on what you want to get out of this year. 

Till next time,

New Year's Resolutions

Happy New Year everyone! As we begin 2013 I've been thinking a lot about my goals for the year and all the big things to come. Here are some of my resolutions for this year:

1) embrace my natural hair texture

      My hair is naturally crazy curly but I have a tendency to run in the opposite direction of my curls and straighten my hair most of the week. This year I was inspired by Carly of College Prepster and her recent post about embracing her naturally curly hair by not straightening it for a month. I'm planning on doing something similar and so far (a whole three days in haha) it's been working out better than I expected! I'm really loving all the extra time I have in the mornings now! Definitely looking for suggestions for great products for curls though so please leave a comment below if you have any products you swear by!

2) become the healthiest version of myself

Eating better, getting my gym rat status back on, getting more sleep, and remembering to take time for myself. 

3) stop biting my nails

Such an awful habit and I'm constantly so jealous of all the pictures of gorgeous manicures on Instagram and Pinterest! Hopefully I'll finally kick this habit in 2013. It helps that Jay is policing this, he's trying to make me buy a dinner for every time he catches me, great motivation!

4) become a better, more faithful blogger

5) start aggressively saving to buy our first home (!!!!)

What are some of your resolutions this year? Did you already break any?
