Hey guys! I'm going to go over a lot today in this post because who knows when the next time I'll be able to post is! I hope y'all had a great Christmas, I know I did! I'll actually be showing y'all some of the stuff I got while I also talk about what my New Years Resolutions are for this year & did I stay true to my resolutions from my New Years Resolution post from last year? You are about to find out all of that right now!
What I Got for Christmas
My sister got me the first 2 presents shown in the first pic which are some BEAUTIFUL Kendra Scott earrings & a BEAUTIFUL Kate Spade wallet! I was super shocked by both presents because I'm known to have a lot of knock off Kendra Scott styled earrings so now that I have some real ones that aren't my studs I got years ago was pretty cool! Another present I got that I wanted to showcase was my BEAUTIFUL new purse from Victoria's Secret! I've really been wanting a quilted purse & when I saw this one I fell in love with it! My mom got me this present! What drew me to this purse was not only the size & pattern but it looks like a Chanel purse (or another way to describe it is that it looks EXPENSIVE)! You best believe I used all of my presents right away! I'll post a picture below of my outfit I wore on Christmas & how I incorporated my new Kendra earrings!
Another fun thing I got for Christmas from my mom was this super cute & comfy tie in the front black top from Express because I needed more black clothing for work!

So here we go again, my annual 2020 New Years Resolution post! I've done this post for the past 2 years & I look forward to doing it every year! 2019 was such a up & down rollercoaster & I am EAGER for the New Year to be here already! Here's just a few resolutions & goals I have for this year & then later, I'm going to react to my resolutions post from last year & see if I stayed true to my resolutions I made!
1. Continuing to move forward!
January 1, 2020 at 12:00am, anything that needs to stay in 2019 will STAY in 2019! I'm not going to go into detail on this but let's just say I need to stop overthinking so intensely over things I can't control. Overthinking is the worst for my mental health & especially in the past year my overthinking has gotten SO BAD!! In 2020, WE ARE NOT GOING TO OVERTHINK EVERY LITTLE THING!
2. Taking action on what I want to do career wise!
This one really has taken me a long time to do! Earlier this year, I decided to do online courses through my local community college & university which was HUGE for me considering the fact I was never a school person & I decided not to do the school thing right out of high school. I took 2 courses in Leadership & Social Media. I've opened up over the past year about how this year really has opened my eyes to start taking action on what career I really want to pursue which is Social Media Marketing! My goal someday is to do social media for my favorite clothing company which now what I'm doing while I wait for that opportunity is I'm building up my resume with a huge variety of retail experiences so I can understand all types of company's strategies! In between that, I'll be taking a few little courses to expand my knowledge in that industry. 2020 is the year I get one step closer to what I wanna pursue career wise!! I'll get there! YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!
3. SAVE UP MONEY FOR A NEW CAR!!!!
I've had the same car since I was in high school & let's face it. It's getting old!! I have 2 jobs right now which I'm mainly saving to get a new car so not only because I need the update but with my current car, I can't travel which for me going to concerts out of town, I've had to depend on people for rides there but for once I WANT TO TAKE THE CAR OUT OF TOWN FOR CONCERT ROAD TRIPS! My goal is by Summer 2019 (just in time for summer concerts & tour season), that I'll have a brand new car I can travel in!
4. Eating more healthy!
I swear I put this on my list EVERY YEAR & I still catch myself at Chick Fil A twice a week! But seriously, it needs to stop! I was so stressed for a huge time period which caused me to gain a little weight & that's because my eating habits got more poor which in 2020, THAT'S NOT HAPPENING AGAIN! We are eating small portions & healthier choices in 2020!
5. Having a consistent workout schedule!
With how much my life has changed this year, my workout routine was all over the place! I went from having the most consistent workout routine to barely working out at all! Earlier in the year, I had to take a month break from working out at the gym because of my Heart Cath procedure & then shortly after that I switched jobs (twice) & I never since the Cath got back to a consistent schedule so in 2020, I have a more consistent work schedule & I already have a game plan of when I'm going to the gym so hopefully in 2020 you'll see a more fit me!
6. Travel as much as I can!
I love travelling & even if it's a day road trip to San Antonio, IT COUNTS! Whether I'm travelling for a concert which most of my trips are geared towards that or if I'm visiting family, I love discovering new things & being in a different city for once! My goal is at least one concert a month & one road trip a month! I almost hit that goal last year but I missed 2 months sadly!
7. Get even closer to God!
I can always get closer to God! My goal is to go to church consistently & maybe even get involved in the church! I could always use some more God in my life!
8. Improve my blogging!
I will be going into my 3rd year of blogging next year which is crazy to think I'm still here doing this but with the field I want to be in, keeping up to date in my own blog is a huge advantage! I do this blog strictly as a hobby (I wished it was my career) & I know I'll be super busy next year juggling 2 jobs, attending shows, & staying active in my social life. I will continue to give y'all good content!
Now did I stay true to my 2019 resolutions??
Now keep in mind my life was totally different this time last year so my goals were catered to what I was doing at the time!
My first resolution was to find more time for relaxation which I've gotten a lot better at than I was that time last year. It's been up & down though but I still find time to relax & take it easy because if I didn't, I would go INSANE! There's times where I have to say no to plans simply because I am physically TOO EXHAUSTED!
My second resolution was to be bold & try new things which definitely happened this year as I left a job I was at for 2 years & pursued other job paths! I've definitely grown a lot from changing jobs & mentally it's been beneficial for me & has opened my eyes to so much! Without having a job I was completely miserable in for a month, I would have never been so motivated to pursue social media marketing like I am now because life's too short, chase your dreams!
Resolutions 3-6 are all things I can simply still work on like eating healthier, working out more, & organization. My organizing has gotten a little better but it can always improve! The reason I didn't put that on my resolutions this year was because it isn't a huge issue in my life! I keep myself pretty organized most of the time!
Resolution #7 was to travel more & I did indeed travel a lot & go on a lot of road trips this year so that's something to be proud of & I want to do it all over again in 2020!
Resolution #8 was to improve the blog more & I definitely have improved in ways catering to how my life is now. My blog is forever changing from what it was a year ago & it will continue to change! I think now I'm more organized with my content & I plan my content in advanced. Especially in the first year I started blogging, I never planned my content & even a lot in 2018 I was horrible at planning my content but now that I plan in advanced, it's been so much easier & makes blogging something I look forward to rather than something I'm trying to force!
So that was today's post! I don't know if I'll post again before the year ends (because I haven't planned my next post) but if I don't, HAPPY NEW YEARS! Stay safe out there!
