It's My Birthday! Success and Goals

Ah! It's my birthday and I'm 32 this year. Time keeps passing whether or not I want it to, but that's inevitable I suppose.

In all reality though, I'm loving my 30's; they're so much better than my 20's! I'm enjoying my freedom, I know who I am and what I want out of life, I'm able to do the things I want and am still looking forward to the future.

So last year I wrote 31 goals for 31 and I'm really proud to say that I've reached a majority of them! A quick rundown of what I've accomplished in the last year:

I purchased a condo and started living with my brother!

Things are going well and were working everything out together

I've started saying "yes" more to blogger events and collabs

And I've been so impressed with the friendly, supportive community here in Denver

I've been working on making new friends using the Bumble App (iTunes, Google Play Store)

I've met some really lovely ladies, and it's great to have single girlfriends to talk to!

I've overhauled my diet, started with Whole30

And have been eating pretty well since then (about 80% clean and 20% what I want!)

I've bought a swimsuit (2 actually) and will be wearing them on my vacation to Costa Rica this month!!! (more posts to come on this)
My attitude has been a lot better, I've been more grateful and focusing on the good aspects of my life... most of the time.

I think I did pretty well for myself last year. Especially because last year was a challenge and a year of growth for me. I had a lot of change, healing from my divorce, and focusing on myself to do. And I'm so glad I took the time to do it. I'm now stronger, calmer, happier, and enjoying life so much more!

A few of the goals I am still working on, so I'm going to roll them over to this year's goals. I have a lot fewer this year, but I think their really good ones.

Invest in nice, classic clothes that I feel great in. Really focus on my wardrobe and buy clothes I love!
Don't let fear rule. Sometimes the doubt and fear is more debilitating than anything, it can keep me from even trying.

I've especially had fear when it comes to dating; meeting new people and opening up has been so challenging for me. But I'm working on it!

Continue on my health journey - Run the Bolder Boulder 10K this year. I have a year to train and I want to do it!
Try something new (often)! Do something that scares me.

I keep meaning to signup for a spin class or Yoga on the Rocks and I constantly talk myself out of it.... no more!

Work on marketing my blog more and focus on the business side of things.

Not my strong suit but it must be done

Allow myself to dream and want and reach for my goals instead of settling for the status quo and.or mediocre. I can do great things!

See only 6 goals this year, but they're big ones so I'm going to have to work hard. But I just know that 32 is going to be a great year! It has to damnnit!

Also my blog turns 3 on June 3rd, so I'm excited to apply these goals to my blog and document everything on here. This has been a great outlet for my makeup obsession and personal life. Thank you all for your support!
