The Monday Motivator | On New Year's Resolutions

December 31, 2018

The Monday Motivator is a series meant to motivate, encourage, inspire and provide advice on real life stuff.*

It's New Year's Eve, which means you've probably already heard that pesky question numerous times: "What are your resolutions?"

Some people find the idea of New Year's resolutions annoying. I would know; I used to be one of those people. Making resolutions is a lot of pressure. It can feel very intimidating, which is probably why you feel like you've buried your resolutions come February. So you think, "why make any resolutions if I know I won't abide by them?"

Like I mentioned, I get it. I felt the same way until two years ago when I began recording my resolutions on the blog. Not only did I start recording my resolutions, but I also started getting more practical with them. I've found that both of these things helped my New Year's resolutions become more successful.

SHOP THE COLLAGE: 

The countdown is on, people- four days until Christmas!

The last piece of the holiday shopping puzzle is always stocking stuffers. Although it tends to get overlooked, sometimes it can be the easiest and most fun.

The key to stuffing stockings is to find small items in an affordable price range, with a few unexpected surprises mixed in. For the ladies, it can be things like makeup, jewelry, hair accessories and other fun goodies. I put together my final gift guide of the season with pretty products that are perfect for that sock hanging on the mantle.

The Monday Motivator | Fresh Start

December 3, 2018

The Monday Motivator is a series meant to motivate, encourage, inspire and provide advice on real life stuff.*

With the holiday season upon us, Mondays come up even quicker than usual and for some, stress levels are through the roof.

I had a really great weekend, but it seemed to fly by even faster than they usually do. So naturally, come Sunday morning, I was already dreading the thought of going back to work. The previous workweek was crazy busy and the quick weekend barely felt like a break from it all. I still have so much on my to-do list at home, and I'm starting to feel the weight of the Christmas season as I begin to plan for the upcoming December weeks.
