WhatUp Wednesday #21

What Up, friends? Well it's officially the new year! I know a lot of people make resolutions but I really don't like to do that. There's something that really eats at me when I cannot fulfill a promise that I have made-whether it is to myself or not. I have always been that way. Here's an example: I remember being in church and the pastor told us that he wanted everyone to come up to the front of the church who was going to commit to reading the Bible through at least one time that year. I didn't want to go up front because what if something happened and I wasn't able to complete this? Don't get me started on all of the church drama growing up...but it's an example from my teenage years that still holds true to this day.


So, instead of resolutions, I have chosen a goal for myself to do one thing each day that makes me happy. It doesn't have to be much, it can just be something small. It doesn't matter if I repeat it throughout the year or not. This is for me. Do more of what makes you happy. I didn't choose a word like a lot of people, I just decided to opt for this special goal just for me. Each day I am writing down what I have done for the day and it will allow me to show myself some love as well as reflect later on things that make me happy. Don't get me wrong-I still need to eat healthy and exercise more too. I will be working on that throughout the year!




Do you all set resolutions or goals for yourself? I'm curious if this motivates you if you do. Do you find you are able to achieve these goals or if you give up after a little while. I see a lot of people saying they want to eat healthier or work out more, etc. but I am wondering how long this really lasts!


Onwards and upwards! It has been so cold here lately that I haven't done a lot except stay indoors! Lol but really after work and while I was on vacation and off of work, it was a lot of relaxing and Netflix for me! I cannot stop watching The Office and I ain't even mad about it...


I visited a couple of food places I like including Super Chix, Cheesecake Factory and Eatzi's. I rang in the new year feeding my face! But seriously, I really haven't been a lot of places or done a lot over the past week while off! One of the things I did do was go to Ikea and purchase a few more items for my place and put them together! It feels so good to get some more stuff and make my place feel like home!


And then here's a roundup of a few outfits in case you missed them:


 
 
 
 


Don't forget to do more of what makes you happy! Thanks for reading and following along with me!

It’s a special edition of Travel Tuesday on a Thursday!   Ya’ll  need to get on board with going to Galveston! If you’re in the DFW area and you want to get to the beach, you can head south a few hours and get to Galveston easily! This was my second time visiting but I have a feeling I’ll be going back a little more often! I don’t have a ton of recommendations for you yet based on one weekend but the more I go, the more I’ll have!  First things first, where to stay?! There’s a new cute little boutique hotel in town named  Sugar‘s Inn  and I’m obsessed with the cuteness! It’s upstairs of one of Galveston’s finest restaurants  Sugar and Rye . Spoiler alert: I’ll be doing a giveaway with them over on Instagram too! Nothing better than a couple of nights away!

Less Bitter, More Glitter

Image
The saying goes "Spread Kindness around like Glitter" -okay it is really "Spread Kindness around like Confetti", but why not glitter instead? Glitter can be messy, it can be hard to clean up and can be fun and colorful. Just like our lives. Just a friendly reminder that this time of year can especially be a hard time for people. Holidays are a time when a lot of people see their friends and family but sometimes people don’t have anyone. Or maybe there are some people who don’t have much money to get gifts. Or some are remembering those that are no longer with us here on earth. Regardless of how you do or do not celebrate, remember to throw kindness around freely! Less bitterm more glitter! It’s a great time to spread cheer but so is all year!   Show a smile to a stranger or pay for someone’s drink behind you in line. Write someone a note to tell them how much you appreciate them. Random acts of kindness are good all throughout the year. When all els

Chic Soul May New Arrivals

This post is sponsored by  Chic Soul .  Now I already know what you’re thinking- what is she doing posting May content in the middle of June? Well as you all know, there has just been so much going on that sometimes posts like this one get delayed. Sometimes it’s more important to follow along with the way the world is going and prioritize other things that mean more like the Black Lives Matter movement. Sometimes work we do as bloggers and influencers needs to be delayed so the focus can really be on what matters or what is going on in the world. This is just one of those times.  Now you all know that I won’t disappoint you with these fresh new looks! I chose a couple of dresses and a couple of casual looks. I can’t believe I’m wearing shorts in two of these looks! You all know I’m normally a dress wearing gal but I do love some fun casual looks as well! Over on my Instagram, I did try-ons and had people vote for which look they wanted to see first. The first look was this navy one th
