Welcome 2012

I love the feeling of starting fresh in the new year. I am so thrilled with it so far. My life is like a sponge that just keeps soaking up more of the goodness in this world. Its amazing how simple it can be too. All you have to do is think positive,then pursue what you love and work hard! then, BAM! Things will start really happening for you.

I figured I would start over with my blog.

My xanga is no longer going to be used.

It will just be about primarily my life, love, personal,

fashion, crafts, and beauty related things.

 

(sorry this photo is a little blurry!)

Anyone have beauty goals for 2012?

I know this is weird, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who has em.

-I am going to try to go out of the box with my wardrobe and at least try on something different that I may not normally wear. 

-Accessorize!  

-Be nicer to my hair. Not as much heat, and not over-shampooing.

-Get shellac done more, and if not shellac then use nail strengthener at home.

I wish so badly that our natural nails grew out like the picture below.

I don't think it'll ever happen for me. So that's why I get shellac. Its a thin gel like substance which caps your nails but doesn't destroy them like other acrylics. I cant wait to go to the salon! Its been a long time since I've gotten it done. If any of you have tips for nail growth please let me know! It is a struggle!

 

I went to the mall today and checked out what they had in store. My friends and I were all in agreement that they needed some fresh new items. Most of the styles are just too winter-like. Obviously its still winter :(

I bought a few leg warmers and some cozy candles and scents from Bath and Body works.

 The sales at VS weren't very impressive this time for me.  One thing I never thought I would wear again is leggins but they really are comfortable and keep you warm if you buy the right ones.

I love this style..

Comfort is the best function of fashion.

I am going to get a few bandanas and wear my hair up in a bun messier than ever and just go out with it like that.

 

I am such a fan of the simple neutral earthy tones. There's something that feels so good about wearing white. Some of my most favorite shirts have been plain white with style on them, like buttons or little detailing on stitching.

Every now and then I get reminded to add more pops of color into my wardrobe.

Thanks for checking out my new stuff. More updates later. I want to know what the trends of this year will be. I have been seeing a lot of crop tops but im not a fan of them.

Is there any cute trends?

My goals continue to be the same.

Obviously.. everyone wants to be in better shape so and I want to also.. for this year I'm eating better and getting more physical activity in. I did even better in 2011 then I thought I would with eating better. When Chris and I first moved in, we ate more junk. Not to say we never eat junk food, but it has lessened up quite a lot.

 

 My anxiety will GO DOWN this year. Im finding out more ways to deal with it when it does come up. It does exist and I need to acknowledge it. luckily, I dont get those attacks too often.

I believe that pampering yourself should be a huge part of life. Not that working hard isn't good, it is... but taking care of yourself is even better.  and that's how working out should be viewed. It is a way of taking care of yourself.




Back to pampering....another addition to this year is more massages, more going out, more treats, concerts, vacations, and whatever this litte heart desires.
I'm only in my 20s for a short period of time, and this is where its at!
I really miss going to shows and the feeling that it gives you.

Music does not judge your emotions, it evokes them to be released.

here I am, 2012!

 LIVING IT UP!
