I hope everyone had a relatively chaos-free and enjoyable holiday season! Now, t'is the time for resolutions and looking back. And overall, I'm pretty pleased with 2017. Lil' Man turned 2--which means we have kept him alive and in a general state of health for another year. We had no major medical or financial crises, and I even managed to max out my 401k. Oh--and I chopped all my hair off for charity over Christmas.
10 inches gone to Pantene's Beautiful Lengths.
I'm hoping this will sate my do-gooding needs until I can start giving blood again in April (I got benched for a year because we traveled out of the country to an area with malaria risk). In the meantime--I'm loving the cut. I feel like I have so many more quick options for styling! If I want to wash & go, I can just add a little mousse, scrunch, and head out the door. If I want to flat iron, it takes less than 5 minutes. So glorious.
One of last year's resolutions was to eat more breakfast--and that I did. With the exception of a couple days in the summer, I ate breakfast every day, and catalogued much of it on Instagram (to the confusion of several of my friends, who thought my dates were actually a rating system). I also managed to keep up with my line-a-day journal (though sometimes by catching up a week at a time--life's crazy, yo.)
This year?
1) Eat more vegetables. We got fruits in the bag, but we just aren't good about getting a lot of veggies on the plate. Unless you count potatoes. So I'm hoping to mix it up a bit more.
2) Exercise. I know, it's so trite, but seriously needed. We just got a 6 month family pass to the gym at our church, which is less than 5 minutes from our house. No excuses. I'm still working on figuring out a reasonable, measurable goal, but at this point, if I go even 4 times in the entire year, that's better than 2017.
3) Moisturize. Winter is upon us, and dry skin is a plague. I have plenty of hand cream, foot cream, face cream, even in-shower lotion...but do I use it? Not really. I feel like I should take better care of my skin now, and avoid the expensive surgeries, Botox, and firming creams later down the road.
Keeping it simple with three. I mean, I have work goals too, but I won't bore you with those.
And now, on to the Top 10 Posts of 2017!
