2018 REFLECTION AND 2019 GOALS

2018 REFLECTION

If I had a word to describe 2018 it would be “growth.” 2017 was a year of big life moments, some really exciting and some really hard. (see that post here). I saw a quote today, by Morgan Harper Nichols, that said “How wonderfully you have grown since January of last year.” SO true. 2018 was the year I took all that happened in the previous year and learned from it. I am walking into a new year stronger, wiser, and way more aware of my self worth than I ever was before. I’m thankful for a year of growth and cannot wait to see what new adventures and experiences 2019 will bring.

While no big huge life moments happened this year, a lot of really fun experiences, sweet friendships, and new beginnings did. Some of my favorite 2018 memories:

1. I turned 25! Still crazy to think I am this old. (birthday post here)
2. I bought a car. (see post for tips on purchasing a car in your 20’s here)
3. I made LOTS of new friends in not only the blogging community, but also friends from college that have also moved to Dallas. I am grateful for every single one of them!
4. I watched this blog turn one year old!
5. I worked on many exciting collaborations with some amazing brands including Neutrogena, Toyota (posts here and here), Waterloo, Forever21, Shein, Nothing Bundt Cake and Chicwish to name a few.
6. I traveled all over with my best friends! My favorite places were Nashville, Vegas, Austin, and Fayetteville.
7. I watched two of my best friends get married.
8. I watched Steph Curry play the Dallas Mavs in person.
9. I went to lots of great concerts including JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE (not over it).
10. I celebrated my second New Year’s Eve in Dallas!

2019 GOALS

As for 2019, I think it’s important to have goals for the new year. Here are a few of mine:

1. Take better care of my skin. (Here and here are the products I am using right now and loving.)
2. Eat better. One of the most cliche New Years resolutions but it’s an important one!
3. Learn to cook/try new recipes.
4. Workout consistently. (This one starts bright and early tomorrow!)
5. Make a budget.
6. Learn how to make a budget.
7. Dance more. For years, I danced almost every day. I miss it terribly. The best memories and workout ever.
8. Practice patience.
9. Spend more time in prayer.
10. Stay organized in all aspect of life.

What goals do you have for 2019? Here’s to hoping this is our best year yet!
