As some of you all my know, I have a blog page specifically for Polish and Passports! I announce when blog posts are uploaded, when I am working on them, and other miscellaneous fun posts! Recently, I have joined two Facebook groups focused on beauty, makeup looks, techniques, challenges, and more. These two groups have inspired me to create an Instagram specifically for my makeup looks, pictures of my makeup collection, favorite products and more! I got a bit excited and made quite a few posts tonight so I would love if you all could check it out. I uploaded the "My Face is a Blank Canvas" challenge results (which may or may not look terrible, but I had a lot of fun with it. So oh well!) I also uploaded my eyeliner and mascara drawer/ collection/organization. Both of these Instagram pages will be mentioned in the future so make sure to take a look and don't forget to hit that "Follow" button! Links below. Blog Instagram Page: Polish and Passports

I have loved every opportunity I have received and I am looking forward to many more adventures! I spoke with a few different people today and I have decided to create a list of the places I would like to travel to. Of course this will change in the future, but I wanted to compile a nice list for now :)
If you, or someone you know, love to draw, sketch, or build then continue to read and learn more about the 3D sculpting pen from Brookstone!
To start, I have given up soda. I did this last year for about 45 days straight I believe. I was very proud of myself and continued to only drink it off and on throughout the following months. However, since about late October, I fell back into the habit of drinking soda quite often. In order to make myself feel better, I decided kicking soda to the curb would be first on my agenda! I started on January 1st and still no soda! :)
Next on my list is being aware of how much I am eating and of what I am eating. I want to be aware of what I am putting into my body. I also want my body to be physically well-rested and also fit. I plan on starting small. To become more rested, I will try to get at least 6 hours of sleep at night. One day this number will hopefully be 8. I also plan on getting more steps in. This can easily be done by parking farther away from the front of the store, or by getting up during commercial breaks and walking around the house. I have always found that if I start small, I can easily handle what I have set my mind to. I can always build up from there. TIP: Do not give yourself more than you can handle. It may seem like a good idea, but at some point it may become overwhelming or disappointing if you don't reach your desired results right away. Wearing a fitbit or a step counter can really help you become more aware of how much you are actually moving throughout the day. On a day that I work, I average about 10,000 to 11,000 steps. On my days off, that number drops to about 2,000 to 3,000 steps. That is a significant difference so I am going to try and take walks more often on my days off. I always like checking my fitness devices and logging my progress ( though more than 70% of the time, I forget to log it). I hope that whatever fitness and health goals you have contemplated and/or are working towards, will benefit your lifestyle and keep you healthy and young! Have a safe, healthy, fun, and happy 2018!! Cheers! Bethany With a new year, a new planner comes along! I am so excited for another year using an Erin Condren planner! Last year I bought a customized coiled LifePlanner from Erin Condren. I spent about $70 on the planner. I chose the color of the coil, I customized the cover with my own photos, I chose colored banners versus neutral banners, I chose the vertical layout,a and what would go into my planner. It was amazing!! Although I loved it and loved decorating it, I just couldn't afford it this year. By surprise, I found hardcover LifePlanners in TJMaxx! They were gorgeous so I decided to buy one for myself, and one for my younger sister as a Christmas gift! The planner I purchased is a nice hardcover LifePlanner with a vertical layout. It is a nice peach planner with black and white flowers covering the front and back of the covers. The banners are in a colorful format versus the neutral option. It is super pretty and I am glad I found it for such a steal! I purchased this planner for $8!!! I am looking forward to filling out my 2018 plans in this beauty. Any Erin Condren planner fans out there? If not Erin Condren, which brand do you prefer? To those who don't keep planners like these, how do you prefer to organize your schedule?
Here's to an organized and fun 2018!! Cheers! Bethany This year I would like to be more productive, successful, and happy. In order to fulfill these New Year's resolutions, I believe learning and reading is essential. I was scrolling through my Facebook feed and saw a post from a reading group. They shared this image from www.HANNAHBRAIME.com. I thought it was perfect to start out my New Year! I hope to compile some of the books I read and give write a list of suggestions for you all! I think I am going to print out this list and check it off each time I read a book. I am not going to read them in chronological order, either. To all my fellow bookworms, I hope you enjoy this post and read many books in 2018. Everyone else, I hope you successfully fulfill your resolutions and maybe pick up a book or two, as well. Cheers! Bethany New Year's Resolutions... Hmm. Something that I tend to keep, however, I only last a few months.
Well, this year I intend on keeping my New Year's resolutions throughout the year. I would like to become more productive, successful, and happy this year. I hope to see a clear path for my future and intend to work very hard to make these dreams and plans happen. What are your New Year's resolutions? Feel free to share! Happy New Year!! Happy New Year!
I spent my New Year's Eve with my wonderful boyfriend, and his brother and sister! We played card and dice games before the clock stroke midnight. We watched the ball in NYC drop (only a minute late, thanks to commercials) and we yelled and made lots of noise at midnight. There have already been a few downs to this year, but hopefully it will only rise from here. Cheers to the New Year! |
