2019 was an insane year. I thought it would be comical to review my blog post from last year (you can read it here) and see if I actually stuck to my 2019 goals. Here’s where were at:
- Read more books. I want to say I stuck to this one but I really didn’t. I re read all of my favorite books though…
- Spend more time with Bendel. I definitely stuck to this one! Currently typing this one handed as all 55 pounds of her is asleep on me.
- Buy clothes I like, not clothes I feel pressured into buying to link for the blog. YES to this one. I did a lot of shopping this year but I definitely found myself saying no to a lot of things that I truly did not love, but knew were trending on Instagram.
- Drink more water (lame but true). Nailed this one. Buying a pretty knock off hydroflask helped.
- Curb my Starbucks addiction/ Teach myself to enjoy black coffee. Absolutley did not stick to the first part of this but I can confidently say that I love black coffee. Making the Starbucks blend dark roast at home is compromise right?
- Write more blog posts! I can confidently say I stuck to this one. I wrote over 50 blog posts this year!
- Post more iphone photos. I started the year strong on this one, but then I got a new camera and things went downhill….
- Polish my editing skills. I would say I tried on this one. I’ve noticed some improvements and picked up some new skills but I would NOT use the word polished.
- Try new food recipes. This one was a pipe dream. Who has the time?
- Take spontaneous trips. One word: yep.
Overall I kind of nailed it? Right? Scroll through to see Bendel and I’s NYE shoot. Totally impromptu but the photos came out much better than expected. Dress is last year Draper James on major sale on their website! Shop it here
