Resolutions for 2017

I'm so excited for 2017 to start.  I can't wait to see what will happen as the year unfolds and I'm ready to embark on some challenges and step outside of my comfort zone.  I felt like 2016 was a year where I didn't take chances or opportunities that were too outside of the box, so I want to take this year to capture those moments. 

Last night, I started a poll on twitter asking what kind of content you would like to see this year, and I was surprised to see that 40% of the people who responded said they'd like to see more personal posts.  Honestly, I'd like to write those posts as well. 

Dedicate more time to the blog.  I've found that as the semester starts to heat up, I have to move the blog to the back burner.  As much as it saddens me sometimes, school has to come first.  This year I want to allocate my time more efficiently so that I have enough time to be focusing on school and the blog. 

Work out three times a week. Who doesn't have some sort of health related resolution each year? Usually my resolution is pretty generic like, "be healthy", so this year I want to make it a little more defined.  This semester I'm a personal wellness class, which my school makes us take.  I'm doing "individual fitness," which I've heard is basically just a designated gym session twice a week.  Since I already knock out two of the three days with that class, I'm hoping getting to the gym for the one extra day won't be too hard. 

Wash my face twice a day, everyday. Sooo I don't wash my face every night and sometimes forget to take off my makeup... but I really want to make a point this year to take care of my skin.  I've been using Glossier products ever since Christmas and I've loved them! Let me know if you want to see a full review of the products I've tried! 

Take time to breathe. I want to spend more time consciously stopping for a moment to just breathe. No electronics, no phones, no internet, just for a few seconds.  I love those few moments where I really take a deep breathe and take in my surroundings, so I want to make an effort to do that more often.
