December 2013 Goal Updates
→ Keep up with a normal sleep schedule
Ugh, I don't know. I was doing alright, but then I wasn't. So, for all intents and purposes, we'll say I didn't achieve that goal.
→
Yes ma'am! I made Toll House Chocolate Chip cookies (soooo many!) and a Turtle Brownie thing.
→ Organize hallway closet
Nope. BUT, I was pretty sure that I wouldn't get around to doing this until early 2014 since I wanted to make sure that we had the Christmas stuff all packed up. I don't think this one was a fail, but just not really a good goal for December. Haha.
→
Yep! Check out my awesome Christmas decorations here!
→
I definitely have some things up my sleeve for this year. I'm excited for ya'll! Js.
→
I didn't blog more of my usual blog nonsense, but I think I did nicely with my Countdown to Kitschmas series.
→ Read a full book
Wow. I am disappoint. I have so many books that I'm dying to read, but nope, I did not read even one book in December. Wompwomp.
→
I'm pretty dead-set on keeping my half/half, but doing white and black instead of continuing with blue and pink. Unfortunately I haven't heard back from my friend who does my hair out here and the other lady who has an in-house salon doesn't have the necessary things, so... I'm probably going to ruin my hair by doing it myself.
→
You betcha! We watched the first two movies on Christmas (cos they're the Christmas ones) and finished up with movies three, four, and five the next day.
→ Curl my hair
I haven't even opened up my curling iron. Oops.
→ Explore Kyushu
I have two more years in Japan and I want to be able to say that I saw things and went places while I was living here.
→ Cook more
So far, so good. My goal is to do at least one home cooked meal a week and I've been cooking more than not since the beginning of the year!
→ Start in-home business
My AMAZING husband got me a Kitchenaid Stand Mixer so I can start selling baked goods while we're out here. I hate having to only rely on Ryan's paycheck, plus I love to bake, so it's a win/win!
→ Keep the apartment more organized
I feel like my space is a mess and I never feel calm when things are messy.
→ Enact makeup spending ban
I need to "shop my stash" and review all of the makeup I haven't gotten to yet!
→ Yoga
I actually went to my first physical therapy appointment this morning and I'll be doing daily stretches. I'd like to upgrade to actual yoga at some point. I loved yoga when I was a teenager and I need more zen in my life.
→ Budget better & save more
Ryan and I just redid our budget at the beginning of the new year; saving more and spending less!
→ Start therapy again?
Hm. I'm still not 100% on this one yet, but I figured that I would put it on the list.
→ Start using a blog calendar/organizer instead of just making lists
I bought a binder and filled it full of organize-y printables and I'm super excited. Js.
→ Reorganize blog
I'm thinking of launching a personal blog and turning Kitsch Vixen into just a beauty/fashion blog. I'll post more about that later!
What are your plans for 2014?
