Resolutions

I didn't really have any last year. So I don't have any progress to report or anything to reflect on. But I would like to make some this time around. I really love how Fleur De Moi gave a monthly update on all of her resolutions in 2012. I might try that.

HAIR

I didn't chop my hair off in 2012 which should count as some sort of small victory for me. I've been trying my best to grow it out. Grow it long. I only have gotten it trimmed every 3-4 months. That's it. No drastic length change. I'd like to keep going. It's long now, yes, but not long long. You know? This started because A. all my friends either had long hair already or were in the process of growing their's out as well and B. I would like to be able to do all the super cool hair styles on Pinterest but now it's more just to say I did. To say to myself that I had the willpower and all that shit. Silly? Eh, maybe but what I do with my hair is up to me. I'd like to continue to grow it until my birthday which is 6 months away. I hope I can wait that long to give it a good chop. I just love change in the form of a haircut. 

MONTHLY

There are a few things I would like to accomplish on a monthly basis.

• Read a new book - 2012 has been the year of the reading rut for me. I hope 2013 goes a lot better especially now that I have a Kindle.
• Give or help out in some way - I just want to do something nice just because, whenever the moment strikes, without hesitation. Random acts of kindness.
• Bake a new recipe - I really need to check some of the recipes off my 'FOOD' board on Pinterest but I would like to stick to mainly baking, as I'm not much of a cook.
• Go to yoga - I was consistent in my fitness regimen in 2012 but now that I have joined a gym I don't go to yoga as often as I used to. 
• Write a handwritten letter. - This shouldn't be too difficult as I send more snail mail than everyone I know combined. 

ACCESSORIZE

I have never been much of a jewelry wearer but this past year I have started to really enjoy it. I've also added some very cute and fun pieces to my little collection. I want to try to accessorize more overall. Earrings (I can't even remember the last time I wore a different pair. I wear the diamond studs Dustin gave me on our year anniversary every single day. They are lovely but I would like to start to change it up.), necklaces, headbands, tights, bracelets, even MORE nail polish (Dustin is wondering right now how I could ever improve on this. HA!). 

SAVE

I would like to save as much as possible. I'm sure every month will be different but if I can put something away on a regular basis this year, I will be a happy girl. 

TRAVEL

I'd like to fly somewhere. I'd like to road trip somewhere out of state (maybe Savannah?!). I'd like to go somewhere in state for an extended period of time. If I can't have it all, I'll take 1 out of 3.

OUTSIDE

I've never been the out-doorsy type. It's hard to want to go outside in FL (unless you're going to a pool). But this year I'd like to do more things outside whenever the weather permits. I want to play catch or throw a frisbee around or have a water balloon fight. Or...maybe just a nice stroll in a park. 

LESS

I'd like to REALLY go through all my shit and only keep what I truly need. I want to give away or throw away anything that I don't absolutely have to have. It's just so easy to acquire random crap. I need to remember that less is more. 

Now that I've typed this all out it seems a bit overwhelming. I hope I'm up to the challenge! 

Let's do this 2013!
