Making Your Bed

It's been a while since I've posted. Don't know if anyone actually noticed but my New Years resolution to post consistently uh....fell through.

I've had an incredibly stressful month and I really don't want to make excuses but with everything going on I just decided me having to worry about posting every week was not in my best interest. I hope to get back on a more consistent schedule.. but maybe not every single Tuesday.

I just got a desk for my bedroom so I can work at a desk rather than sitting in my bed so I'm hoping that will encourage me to write and do more things for you guys here. You can see pictures of my finished bedroom very soon in a new blog post so look out for that!

The point of today's post was to apologize for my lack of blogging, and to talk about life and something that's very important to me; making my bed.

I started making my bed every morning when I got up, maybe like 6 or 7 years ago? I don't remember why I did it but I'm glad I did. Making the bed is such a simple thing to do and it really can turn your whole day around. It makes you feel like you accomplished something. Like oh hey! Just crossed something off of my to-do list! Just getting the ball rolling if you will.

The winter gloom happening over here in California has been taking it's toll on me. So something as simple as this has been a bit of a mood booster and something to make me feel somewhat productive.

Another thing. There's no better feeling than getting into a made bed. The sheets are crisp and all straightened out like they should be. It just looks great.

It makes me feel like I know what I'm doing with my life. Which is far from the truth if I'm being honest with myself.  I mean I know what I want to do. In the future. But right now? It's not it. I have to work hard to get to where I want to be and that's what I plan on doing. Making my bed is going to help me get there.

If you don't already, make your bed every morning! Thank me later. And you can expect a new post in the next few days!

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to play Kingdom Hearts all night. Adieu.

New Years Resolutions ☆

Happy New Year!

I know it's like the second week of January but I wanted to take some time to think about where I'm going with the blog and prepare for some other exciting things happening in my life at the moment. I do have some resolutions and goals for 2019 and I think the new year is a good time to reset and make a change in your life (if you want to).

Obviously you can start anytime of the year and you don't have to wait until the new year begins but I think that's when you really start thinking about starting fresh and making a change. So that's what I'm doing!

Number 1 on my list of goals for this year is to blog more consistently. I've always wanted to and tried to but this year I'm really gonna step up and make sure I'm posting on a schedule every week. So look out for new posts every Tuesday from now on!

2. I want to read more! I love reading but I never have time (or if I do I'm just lazy and I don't do it). So this year I'm going to read a book a month! Maybe even 2 depending on how often I'm able to actually sit and read something. The first one will be Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Now I actually have already started this.. I'm almost done but I'm using this month as my incentive to finish it.

3. Cooking! I really enjoy cooking but I don't do it as often as I'd like. I'm very lazy unfortunately and I'm always exhausted and never want to do anything but that changes now! I'm going to cook at least 3 times a week! So follow me on Instagram to see what I cook up!

4. Take better quality pictures. I actually just bought a camera for this! I'm so excited to use it and see what I can do. I LOVE taking pictures and I LOVE to edit them but usually I only take them with my phone or my film camera which doesn't really allow me to edit them.

5. Getting healthy!! AKA working out and eating better and drinking more water. I all of a sudden want to work out???? Which is so bizarre considering I'm always exhausted after work and I hate sweating. But nonetheless! I will try to exercise more often! I think I'm more excited about buying workout clothes though..

Those are my main goals for the year! Hopefully I can stick to them for the most part!

As always thanks for reading and check back next Tuesday for a new post!
