November Goals!

 
I feel like the second half of the year is going by so fast. I can't believe we're in week two of November, soon before you know Thanksgiving will be here. This year has been a wake up call for me and I'm getting myself together. In the past I've talked about goals that I want to accomplish for the month, but I really don't follow through with most. I actually feel like a hill, just thinking about it. But this time things have changed and the goals I have will be accomplished. Life is too short and I'm almost twenty five years old, I'm starting to find out what I want in life. I guess you can say I had an epiphany, which always happens at night which is the time I think about life a lot.
 
I feel like at night it's the most quiet, so my mind isn't going one hundred miles per hour. I don't know whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. So instead of falling off the wagon, I decided to make weekly goals for the month instead. I hoping that makes sense am I even making sense? Anyway weekly goals have helped me so far and it's much easier. I am not putting pressure on myself like I did in the past. That's why I have not talked about having goals in a while, I'm tired of disappointing myself. So from now on I will be more focus and just have fun. Now whatever fun you're thinking is probably not what I mean! Most of these goals I have set are for myself as a blogger. The other is for me personally.

Be Consistent With Blogging
I have said this numerous times, but this one is serious. This goal is not just for my readers to stay interested, but it's for me as well. I didn't realize I much I loved blogging until I stopped. It actually did more harm to my blog and social media. Most importantly I missed joining in the twitter chats and connecting with other blogging in general. I was in a rut and I mean a long one, even while blogging. Now when I blog I put my all into, but I'm starting to realize consistency if you want to see anything you work on grow! One thing I have been consistent about talking my blog pictures in bulk, that really helps me a lot. For one it saves time for me to work on my writing. As far as planning, I take pictures in the daytime because of sunlight/ natural lighting. During the nighttime I write because I feel I'm more relaxed and calm.

Have Fun Blogging
In previous posts I talked about not being the most organized blogger and not having a plan nor schedule. I'm a work in progress, but I realized that I don't want to be stiff on my blog. I want whoever reads my blog to feel relaxed and chilled, as if they were talking to me in person. I want to talk about things other than just beauty products. I feel like I don't want to label myself or my blog anymore. I felt like I limited the potential of my blog, because I was trying to do what everyone else was doing. I'm still going to blog about beauty but I'm going to talk about stuff I enjoy besides that. Like: Movies, Music, Sports, More Throwback Thursdays, DIY's, and Recipes! I feel like if I don't pressure myself I can do this!

Eating Healthy
This is my top goal although it's my last goal. I didn't realized all of the unhealthy things I was putting in my body. All of the processed food that included chemicals. For me I figured if I can't pronounce an ingredient or I don't know what it means, the food is probably unhealthy. I also learned that eating after a certain time can harm your body, because it's not digesting properly before bed. Now obviously I knew that but sometimes your busy and the time you eat gets brushed off. When you eat healthy or change some of your eating habits you feel a difference.

I know my goals are not a lot and they may be small to others but it's ok for me. No goal is more important than another and whether it's big or small they both matter! I hope you enjoyed reading and if you have any goals for November feel free to share them with me!

Helpful Posts/Sites For Bloggers

Being a blogger is not easy at all, whether it's a hobby or a job. Every blogger works so hard to put out quality work. But sometimes it can be a struggle. While in a blogging rut I came across a lot of posts that have helped me gain confidence. These posts also helped me realize my creativity; all I needed to do was use my noggin! But before you click on the links below, I'm going to explain what these links mean to me. I don't want to bore you but I'm hoping these will help you too.   Everytime I get into a blogging rut I always look at my blog design. Thinking that the design I have is always the problem, I go and I spend money to change it. In reality the major problem was myself. Now don't get me wrong, designs I've had were beautiful it just wasn't for me. During my long "break" or breakdown I did a lot of searching. I'm pretty sure you all heard of Etsy, am I right? This is where I found two shops that have helped me tremendous...

Color Theory:8 Piece Ultimate Eyeliner Set

I love Eyeliner; eyeliner is my go to look. Anytime I had eyeliner my eyes would look like their dressed up! The only eyeliner I have ever wore up until this point was black; because that was the only color I thought was out (crazy of me right?!) Anyway lately I've seen many girls wear different color eyeliner, mainly on YouTube; so I knew immediately I would have to try it. After a while I forgot all about them, until Christmas of 2012 when I received them. I was so excited because my Mom didn't even know I wanted them; now that I am thinking I didn't even ask!  Now I can match up the colors with eyeshadow. Enough of that here's the box they came in and I have the colors listed below. On the back it just talks about the different styles you can do with the eyeliners. For example: The famous winged look (instructions for it are on the back).                                ...

Finding My Passion For Blogging Again

  At some point in time, when your heart isn’t into something you should take a break. Blogging is great and I couldn’t see myself without it. However sometimes it can get overwhelming and that’s what happened to me this year. For about eight months I have not blogged and I thought I was a bad person for that. I have realized that it was best to take the long break. In doing so, I have found so many things I love to talk about. I was holding myself back because I put a label on myself, wanting to be known as a beauty blogger. Sure I attached the lifestyle part, but honestly I don’t really know what that means.  During this year I had time to reflect on where I wanted my blog to go and whether I even wanted to write anymore. Honestly the motivation to blog was not there at all and at that time, I really didn’t care if I continued. I did not want to look at my blog or deal with it. For me I was tired of putting in the work and not getting anything in return. Meaning no ...
