what are you doing new year's eve?

It’s an odd feeling looking back on 2011.  I am no longer the recent college graduate I often still see myself as.  I’ve officially been a working girl for over a year, bought my first place, moved in with my boyfriend, traveled across the world for work {Denmark, Russia, Estonia, Finland, & Sweden}, and still managed to find time to work on this lovely blog.  I still have my 2011 New Year’s resolutions taped in my planner which served as a reminder to keep my resolutions in the forefront of my mind.

While those resolutions were certainly attainable and I did manage to move out of my parent’s house, I am not the most motivated person when it comes to working out and eating well.  I am a girl that loves her popcorn in the unhealthiest way possible (salt & extra butter - hmmm hmmm good). And online shopping -- when I work 40 plus hours a week, sometimes that's my only option (it also doesn't help that Zara now allows me to shop from the comfort of my couch). So this year, I’ve decided to be a bit more specific in my goals.

1. Sign up for a dance class.  It's cheaper than therapy.

2. Budget. Budget. Budget.  Save $$ towards something specatular, like a trip to New York for NYFW!

3. For every item purchased, donate another item or two in return.

4. Pinterest exists for a reason - learn a new recipe every week, or every couple of weeks.

5. Drink more water.  It does a body good.

To all of my lovely readers, thank you for sticking around, I can't wait for what's to come in 2012!  Stay tuned!

PS. Enjoy this little number from two of my favorite actors.  Happy New Year!
