Weekly Resolutions
[ 13 April 2008 ]
1. Untitled, 2. Tag Heuer, 3. keep your coins, i want change, 4. Valentine’s Day
Hello darlings! Welcome to Monday, which of course means it’s time to set our intentions for the week! Here’s what we planned to do last week. I hope you were insanely successful!
Here’s what I want to do this week…
Start planning stuff for the iTC!
There’s a lot to do, because I not only have to plan things to make your challenge easier, I have to plan my own, too! Some of the things I have coming for you include podcasts, daily motivation emails & progress updates, as well as a place where you can all discuss how you’re going. (Still thinking about that bit. ) The amazing news is that in a little over a day, we’ve had 800 nonpareils sign up for the iTC mailing list! The mind boggles! This is going to be so, so, so good! I can’t wait for it to start!
Buy Simon’s birthday present
He’s a lucky boy… he turns 37 at the start of May & I’m buying him a Tag Heuer Carrera Chronograph to mark the occasion. Exciting! We went watch shopping last Thursday & after a good trawl of the shops, we found The Watch. It is sexy. Hilariously, the difference between buying it online & buying it in-store is about $1200, & I’d prefer not to throw that kind of money away just because someone has to pay rent! Anyway, it all means I need to buy it sooner rather than later, to ensure it gets here on time. So, that’s one of my missions for the week!
Curb spending!
After I buy that watch (phew), I’m going to curb my spending riiight back. I have been buying stuff like it’s going out of style (& funnily enough, with the new green movement, it kind of is!), & well, it’s lame. I don’t need anything new, I’m just being lusty & materialistic. I am okay with being materialistic, but you reach a point where you realise that it’s just getting a bit out of hand. There are better things to put my money towards than stockings & dresses (I know, I know — shocking but true), like… plane tickets & apartment rental in exciting foreign cities! I just keep thinking, ‘The more money I spend on clothing the less I have to do anything else’, & it’s wigging me out. My purse needs some discipline, & I’m not afraid to use my whip!
How about you?
Remember to grab a badge, & good luck!
(Oh & by the way — it’s Blogger Appreciation Day — the perfect opportunity to send lots of electronic kisses to your favourite blogger! I guess my fourth unofficial weekly resolution is to write little love letters to the bloggers who make my day shine!)
Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala

Happy birthday Simon! :) Don’t you just love birthdays? Mine is coming up soon as well and I’m so excited!
And by way of Blog Appreciation Day, I just want to say that not only do I appreciate all you’ve done for me (which is more than I could ever type), I admire you as well for living your life by your own standards and not the world’s. I aspire to do the same one day.
Have a wonderful week, Gala!
I appreciate you, beautiful girl!
It’s already Monday afternoon here, and I thought of you and the resolutions this morning as I ploughed through my scary phonecalls and asking-people-for-money. Tick! tick! tick! went my list.
This week:
3: Tidy my lounge. Urgh.
2: Do some baking.
1: Call my sis and sis-in-law; check up on the babiiiiees . .
* finish assignments on time *get a job *must mail exchange papers!! if i can do all of these my week will be an incredible success!!
love the blog gala~ :)
I did pretty well with last week’s … my ‘do something romantic with myself’ thing ended up being, errrr … with someone else. Cough.
This week, I want my resolutions to have nothing to do with the work I have to get done, because that’s a given.
- Go to an opera, ballet or classical performance, semi-spontaneously. As in, “I’m bored, let’s go to the theatre and see whatever happens to be on …”
- See to all of my vintage garments that need work. Some need buttons replacing, dry cleaning, washing … and I was just at the Sydney Vintage Clothing and Textiles Show, so I just accumulated a huge amount of new-old clothes. In other words, get to the bottom of my pile of “needs work” clothing.
- Eat deliciously and healthily this week for under $25. It can be done, if I go to the markets and pool food with friends to eat communally. I should probably also adhere to your “curb spending” thing, after the vintage show, if only to stop my credit card from crying itself to sleep at night!! But oh well.
Cheers, ava lovely week everybody!
This week I will:
1.Get on top of my uni!!! (So very behind – this distance education thing requires alot of discipline)
hence..
2.Be more discriplined!!
3.Watch less crappy TV
4.Go 2 sleep earlier = early mornings (chilly but beautiful)
5.Prepare for ITC – so excited – Im slowly weining myself off bad habits and into the new good ones
6.Increase productiviy levels – no more procrastination
Have a great week everyone!!
oh, I forgot, happy early birthday to Simon!
Although it’s still Sunday here, I have plenty of goals.
1. Start on a new blog. I’ll update y’all when it’s ready to launch (*hint*, it’s about makeup.)
2. Start planning for the iCing challeng.
3. Get out more because it’s nice out, finally!
Ahh so Simon’s a Gemini!? I was thining Taurus – I was close.
I’m with you on the spending, Gala. Must – not – ebay..
I also want to change my sleeping habits and wake up really early. Like 5am early, before the birds are singing!
And go swimming more. I have the key to an indoor pool and never use it! For shame..
Nice choice of watch, by the way! And isn’t Brad showing his age in that photo? Still looks handsome though :)
Hey there!
My resolutions for the week are:
1) Exercise morning and night (get the blood pumping in the morning and finish the day off with a lovely stroll along the beach with my man!)
2) eat healthily – we have been following the Liver Cleanse eating plan for a week now and it’s amazing the difference i have noticed in my skin and general wellbeing! So not a chore at all to soldier on – very excited actually, can’t wait to get to the supermarket to stock up on delicious fresh produce!!
3) Finish 2 articles (for my soon-to-be-finalised website) that I have been procrastinating on….time to bite the bullet!!!
Please wish Simon an EXTREMELY happy bday from all the nonpareils!!! I have just left my job as a watch designer, and in all my research, I always loved the Tag Carrera…it’s just so stylish and SLEEK! YAY!

My resolutions for the week commencing Monday 7 April were:
~ do one of my favourite things ever & hang out in Borders alone late one night (preferably when it’s raining) & find myself an inspiring new book to read (does anyone have any suggestions?).
Yes, although I didn’t have any luck finding something I liked at Borders (I think I’ve decided their Wellington store is officially crap) but I ran straight home & ordered ‘Style Statement: Live by Your Own Design’ from Amazon! So, despite my lack of success at Borders, I did find an inspiring new read afterall. :D
~ do another one of my favourite things ever & go to the movies alone to see something utterly cute & girly (2 Days in Paris is looking like the one!).
Yes! Although one of my colleagues at work said 2 Days in Paris isn’t all that spectacular & to just wait for it to come out on DVD so I went & saw Definitely, Maybe instead which was… nice.
~ go & see Jum Nakao’s A Costura Do Invisivel: Paper Couture exhibition at TheNewDowse.
Yes! It was AMAZING!
My resolutions for the week commencing Monday 14 April are:
~ prepare for the iCiNG Transformation Challenge that starts next Monday! I need to beg, borrow or steal some (preferably electronic) scales & a measuring tape this week so I can take my starting weight & measurements on Sunday 20 April before the challenge starts. My transformation challenge isn’t just about losing weight but I’d like to be able to judge the success of my challenge in a measurable way as well as by how I feel. I also need to go grocery shopping at my local organics store, Commonsense Organics, on Sunday & stock up on lots of fresh, raw produce! Yum!
~ I’m booking my trip to New York (flights, accommodation, tours) on 1 May so I need to find hotels to stay in! I need to find a hotel to stay in at Los Angeles airport (LAX) as we have a short sleep there on Saturday 6 September before flying out to New York early the following morning. We have seven nights in New York & four nights accommodation at the Beacon Hotel is included as part of the tour we’re booking, but we need to confirm where we’re gonna stay the other three nights we’re there. I wanted to stay at The Hotel Chelsea, but I’ve read some really really bad reviews that are kinda putting me off. :(
~ start my new book (Style Statement: Live by Your Own Design) as soon as it arrives this week & try to finish it before the end of the week.

I’ll give myself 2 1/2 out of 3 for last week, which I’m happy with
Do something everyday, just for me
This is the start of my birthday week (yay!) so I’m going to make the most of it.
Get up at a reasonable time everyday
I’ve been getting into a bad habit of going to bed late and sleeping in
Let my boyfriend know just how much I care about him
Ariel — Thank you, honeypuff!
Natalie — Kisses to yooou!
I V Y O L O G Y — No, he’s a Taurus… May 5th. Taurus + Virgo = match made in heaven, haha!
Rach — Aw, thank you, I will pass it on! It’s a beautiful watch, huh? When we were shopping I fell in love with a Dior women’s watch but that’s a tale for another time!
For Blogger Appreciation Day Gala, I want to send you one thousand kisses! You have been consistently inspiring. You are something to wake up for. You have changed my whole perspective on life and I feel as if I have changed for the better since I discovered you. I Love love you and your work Gala :)
As for my weekly resolutions. Here they are…
Keep being nice to my boyfriend We have been going through a rough patch and on the weekend decided to go out of our way to be nice. It has worked and we are going much better now.
Contact family I have been putting this off for a long time because we dont have the internet at home so I cant call! This week I WILL call my mum and dad.
Make serious plans for ITC I want to plan out my meals. I also need to order my bike!
Good Luck everyone. xx
I giggled a bit when you said, Gala, that the watch has to get there “on time.”
hehehe!
I’m quite excited about iTC!!
And Happy Birthday Simon!!!
I’ve been putting this off and umming and ahhing about it but now it’s time I commit to some weekly resolutions… here goes:
1. Get the revised interview transcripts for my book back to my editor by the end of the week.
2. Maintain focus and discipline and plough through the moments when I’m sitting at my little yellow table and my mind wonders away from the task at hand.
3. Not to eat any wheat. I have a hard time resisting cup cakes though… I need a good recipe for gluten free cup cakes :)
Good luck to everyone else with their weekly resolutions!
B
xo
What an amazing week!! I got the job I really wanted (yay!), trained everyday for the Mother’s Day Classic, and curbed my spending! This week I will…
Train like crazy! I will step up my training and watch my diet for the Mother’s Day Classic. Also, I have to put together a training schedule for when I start working (!!) because I won’t have as much time as I do now!
Get organised for work Lovely new outfits, getting loose ends tied up, cleaning, filing & sorting. General pottering which I love!
Get Positive & Motivated I’m so excited and need to channel that into being super productive, confident & motivated!
Izennah xoxo
Hey Gala,
Thanks to your To Do List motivation, I have now finally *Enrolled daughter no.1 at school (and she starts next year – that has been on the list for a while) *Picked up a lovely photo to be framed (after procrastinating over my choice for 6 months!) *Booked my USA and Japan holiday (after stuffing around with dates for 3 months) *Taken all my old accounts to Medicare (and got lots of money back yeah!)
Yes, there was a theme here. Although I always have a To Do List, there always seems to be carry over items; that keep being carried over. Seeing how well you and all your lovely readers have been doing with there’s, spurred me on to tackle the ‘hanger-on’ jobs.
So here’s my love letter to you:
THANKS GALA for putting a Firecracker into my day! You are the Blue Haired Queen of my Monday.
XXX Super Kawaii Mama XXX
www.superkawaiimama.blogspot.c…
* Finish my history research paper – eep!
* Eat healthier – cut out the junk food
* Go through my closet!
Hey everyone!
First off, have a fantastic birthday Simon! That watch is amazing, a perfect gift (well, that and lots of luurve).
Then, happy blogger day Gala! I definitively want to thank you for helping myself and every other nonpareils with achieving their goals and dreams. You’ve created a parallel universe filled full of amazing people and ideas.
My weekly goals are…: – Eat healthy and continue my exercise! I’m now starting to eat a lot of raw food (not out of an attempt to be a raw-foodie, even though I love them too), and seeing how much better I feel after running. When life turns a little sour (as it did this week), instead of feeling sad, I feel a little like the Bride from Kill Bill. You know, like, being even more determined to suceed! (Not homicidal…)
- Make specific plans for my wardrobe. I’m planning out some designs I’m going to sew up, and make lists to see what I want to buy for this season!
- Be more self-confident, and be proud of my name change. Unofficially, I’ve changed my name to (Ashley)Skye, and while I don’t expect people to use it right away, I would like them to respect my decision.
Lots of love!
mine is to get up at least early enough to have time to spend/waste. Getting up 15 minutes before class and struggling to pick out clothes, not eating and looking generally like rushed shit is not worth that extra 20 minutes of laying there.
i cant look away from brad pitt X_X
Gala you are mega inspirational, and if any blogger deserves appreciation, ‘tis you! As for resolutions…
One of the universities I want to attend is posting admission decisions starting tomorrow, and when it is posted I will have to make a decision, which I am dreading! But I resolve to have made a decision within a week of hearing.
Go for a run! I haven’t been in ages and physically and emotionally, it is taking its toll! Arg.
Take some pictures. My dad gave me an old SLR camera, a Mamiya, and I am in the middle of a roll of “test” film to see if it works. I want to finish that so I can get onto some fun picture taking, and see if I am creative as I like to think I am :P
Good luck to everyone this week!
xox
1. Do my assignments: I have two assignments that desperately need doing and I’ve been procrastinating so badly. It sucks!
2. Eat less junk: In preparation for the Icing Transformation challenge (though I can’t give up my cupcakes).
3. Buy my ticket to Bangkok: I want to go back to Bangkok (I lived there for 3 years and finished high school there) for New Year’s, and I want to buy my ticket while I still have the money!
I’m kind of not so happy with myself this week- I don’t feel like I really achieved any of last weeks goals, and I feel like the week was kind of a bust. I spoke to a few friends from home, but mostly realized that I had less people that I wanted to call at home than days in the week. I was unproductive. And I didn’t write. Blah. Oh well, new week, right? So this week’s goals:
Plan for iCT I need to do something, I just don’t know what yet. iCT also falls at a funny time for me, as I’ll spend the first week at home on break, the next two weeks taking exams, and the last week at home for the summer. What can I change that works in both locations, and over Passover??
Kick Ass at School I have a bunch of major assignments and such going on this week before I go home, and I want to do really well.
Make Compromises Mostly this is with my family. Everything will not go my way while I’m home, and I can’t bitch about it, and I can’t whine about it, and I need to compromise with my family and figure out the best option for ALL of us, not just me.
Gala – RE: the Dior watch…...well, your birthday isn’t too far away (sorta)!
;)
Are you reading this Simon???!!!
haha
Rach — Haha! I don’t think I can wait that long ;D It will probably be my next major purchase. Exciting!!
My three goals this week are:
Fix my computer It collapsed like 4 hours ago, this week I’m just going to back up my important files and during the weekend I’m going to do a full clean up and just install everything again.
Enjoy Engineering Week Engineering Week is three days that the University dedicates to the Engineering Faculty, we have contests, conferences, work shops, we get to have three days full of activities just for us and we also get to wear our polo shirts with our names on the back, it is really fun.
Finish preparing for the iTC I have my schedule written down and I got a new bottle for water. I already have my workout videos picked out and I got my yoga mat from the back of my closet. This week I’ll EFT like crazy to get my mind set to start the iTC.
Happy Blogger Appreciation Day Gala! You make my heart go doki doki!
Kisses,
Julie.
JESSABELLE
This is random, but I think you may be my penpal! :D (On postcardx I use my French name: Cendrine!)
Where do you buy Tag from online? I have absolutely fallen in love with one of their watches but if I can get it cheaper online (and it’s not a fake, ugh) then I will!
Amy — Ebay, baby!
I’ve cut up my credit cards and I haven’t really missed it so far, but it’s only been 2 weeks.
Weekly Resolutions
1 eat lots of salad
2 tidy my house
3 inspire someone
Well, I did just OK on my resolutions from last week. I had some low moments at work, but overall I’m staying positive. I only ran once instead of three times (whoops!), but I did go for a long walk today. And I did email my friend…although I forgot about that resolution until the very last possible moment. Hopefully this week I’ll do a bit better.
1. Call Grandma and Grandpa!!!
2. Completely update the new lovely ipod. Lots of my music is on data cds right now, so this may be a bit of a bother…but it’ll be so worth it!
3. Apply to 5 jobs (at least!!!)
Infinite x’s & o’s to you then!
This week I’m going to: – Don’t complain and stress that much about everything I have to do (which is a LOT) – Find time to work on my art projects – Stick to my diet & drink lots of water.
This week I plan to…
+ Get a decent amount of reading done for my next assignment so that I don’t end up with no time.
+ Stay calm and not find reasons to stress (eg. don’t comment when my sister gets annoyed at being asked to do something or my parents leave their shoes in the middle of the lounge).
+ Go to Yoga and try my hardest to keep my mind focused and uncluttered.
+ Cook a decent meal for my family.
Okay, so last week I wanted to excercise every day, eat a raw meal every day, and read a chapter from the scriptures every day. I did perfectly on all but the last. I had one day where I was really tired and hadn’t read that morning, so I just read a verse. And for one day, the excercise was that I went to a dance. And slow danced with a hot guy. And might have possibly flirted (which is amazing, since I’m horrible at flirting).
So, this week:
1. Increase my raw so that I get one raw meal, no meat except for dinner, and don’t drink milk until dinner. This’ll be a challenge, but I think I can do it! If I find myself with really bad cravings, I’ll lock myself in my room and do a couple rounds of EFT. (BTW, thanks for recommending that to everyone. I don’t need a therapist or antidepressants any more!)
2. Go shopping with my friend. I really want to dress nice, but I haven’t had a chance to do any serious shopping in months. We’ve been trying to go for about a month, but stuff keeps getting in the way.
3. Plan with said friend about doing a double date with previously mentioned hot guy that I flirted with. If she can also ask someone out, then we can head over to my house for a videogame date and order pizza. Nice and cheap, and a great way to get my first date! Ever!
I did not know it until a couple of weeks ago when I stumbled upon your site but I have been looking for it for a very long time.
You have managed to create a site that is deeply insightful, truly inspiring and packed with positive energy. Thank you Gala! You amaze me and I believe that with your help I will begin to amaze myself again too.
Oh I’ll start with my first week resolution too: – Get myself to the gym at least 2 times this week.
quit smoking properly – not just cut down
go to the gym every day this week not just once or twice
I’ve had a lovely week, actually, despite spending a lot of it in the library!! This weekend I’ve been pretty damn happy :)
1) Sort out my duties – emails, sorting stuff out like events. This is what positions of responsibility do to you!
2) Keep making cake for my crew because it relaxes me in the evenings
3) Not to get upset or sad, just because I’ve watched the last Green Wing episodes (Caroline and Mac godammit!! Stressful).
Have you thought of maybe creating an ITC forum? It would be a fantastic place for everyone to introduce themselves, write about their progress, post pictures, etc. I’d be all over that if you did create one :]
long time watcher, first time poster! consider this first comment as a sign of my appreciation, haha :) thanks for running this enormously entertaining and useful site. it has made my day more times than i can count! i’m going to try to participate more as a nonpareil from now on, to give something back for all the delicious icing i’ve been taking.
1. at least 2 hours thesis work, and 2 hours coursework per day. we’re on a ‘teaching break’ right now so this is the perfect time to catch up AND relax simultaneously. spending this much time on each seems like a realistic goal.
2. go on an ‘information diet’ – that is, not read newspapers or watch crappy tv or tool around on facebook etc. i hope to fill my spare time with work on a secret project (!), reading, exercise and creative writing. i’m a bit of an australian politics geek so the newspaper bit is going to be hard …
3. save money! this is a biggie! i have a major birthday present to buy plus a big night out planned before next pay, and i want to be able to spoil those involved thoroughly!
hello Gala
many thanks to you darling as i read you’re blog the most and have found out interesting things over the past months.
this week i aspire to
1. have more fun with my mother
2. get assignments done even though i am on holidays
3. stop buying pointless things
have a great week everyone xoxoxoxo
* To get everything done for my art portfolio!!! Interview thursday!!!
on that note I have started a blog to add a little to it so I would really appreciate it if anyone could take a look (please!?):
thevintageromanticsscrapbook.b…
Much love x
My final exams of school are starting in less then two weeks (eeew), so my top goal is to learn alot this week, especially maths and also arts.
I also want to keep up my new sleeping routine. It’s so nice to go to bed a little earlier than usual and be able to get up and be boosted with energy the next day!
Eating more fruits, drinking more water (you totally made me aware of how much I disregarded it, Gala)
Oooh, and I ordered the Ballet conditioning DVD’s yesterday, I can’t wait to get them and start exercising this week! And maybe a little run every other day is a goal too!
I’m so motivated! I hope y’all too! Good luck, have a nice week!
1. Workout 4-5x
2. Figure out an eating plan and stick to it.
3. Continue my job search and look into classes.
4. Keep carving out time for friends and fun, and stick to it. I always have a hard time sticking to plans since I’m so moody. :/
I did two out of three last week, well I gave the second one a good go but my pledge still failed. Oh well. This week:
1. Read one fiction book.
2. Get up before nine every day.
3. Second draft all my essays and creative writing assignments. This is a pretty big task but I have all week and I started working last week.
I appreciate YOU Gala. Seriously, this site has changed my life for the better. :)
Resolutions:
1. Decide on a new name for my art promotion project. (A name that works in more than just livejournal…) I also need to organize a posting schedule and talk to some more people about contributing in the future.
2. Play Dance Dance Revolution a few more times this week. (It’s pretty amazing cardio.)
3. Eat breakfast (lunch & dinner as well) everyday.
Last week’s goals:
Get a better cell phone plan: turns out I already had the best plan. But we’ve decided to lose the land line. Achieved!
Find a picture of a haircut and book it: I’m taking an afternoon next week to see my old stylist to catch up. And this way I don’t need a picture. Achieved!
Find some jewellery stores for engagement rings: I’ve got a conference for work in NYC (!!!) next month and D announced he’d like to buy me a ring there. A wildly romantic gesture for both of us! Can anyone shortlist some places? Small budget, under $500. Thanks in advance!
This week:
Start doing some cardio.
Go through closet and take stuff to self-help.
Think of one idea to pitch to CBC.
My one goal for this week will be to not comfort-eat at all. I’d like to get this out of the way before the iTC starts!
1. Plan for the Transformation Challenge! I need to make my goals for that and decide how I want to do it.
2. Spend some good quality time with my Gran who arrives tonight. I want to get off the computer for the majority of the week.
3. Go to bed at a reasonable time every night and wake up earlier.
Last week’s goals were to go to the gym at least twice (I went once), eat more fruits and veggies (I did!), and get my garden going (it’s blooming!!).
This week’s goals are to:
- write some fiction (!).
- finish an office task that needs my attention (building furniture, aiyee — will likely have to come in over the weekend to do it).
- go to the print shop and get the ball rolling on business cards!
Last week I completed 2 of my 3 resolutions. I did everything from week 1 in “Apartment Therapy,” (the largest undertaking was washing all the floors in my house!), and I cleaned out my car interior. I also took a load of stuff to Goodwill, but I think I changed my resolution from that to cleaning the car at the last minute. I did NOT work on clearing out my wardrobe, because I took one look and wasn’t ready to part with anything yet.
This week I will:
1. Complete Week 2 Exercises in “Apartment Therapy”
2. Make eye doctor & haircut appointments
3. Catch up on the details & make my plan for the iTC!
My 3 this week… *get old clothes to second hand shop *try to be better with people. I used to be really shy and now I am kinda shy. I need to get over that. *do something fun for me. I feel like I am being slightly wahwah about life and being a little mopey. So I need to kick myself in the head and snap out of it.
My 3 are:
~to not mess up tomorrow! my friend and I have our first stand up comedy and I’m nervous as heck because I’m opening it. so if it goes wrong I’m pretty guilty.
~eat a lot healthier. I’ve been eating an insane amount of junk lately and it’s making me a little bit ill tbh.
~finally really knuckle down on revision for my last week of spring break. exams when I get back! uuugh.
1. Begin my Psychology research paper. Munchausen Syndrome ahoy!
2. Resume yoga! I’ve been a lazy lazy girl.
3. Tidy mi casa.
I did better than usual last week but still not as good as I should :[
* Clean
* Plan for the iCT
* Sort out some more details about my trip to Melbourne. Galas guide to Melbourne has been a great starting point. One of my work mates is moving to Melbourne 2 days before I go on my trip so I showed him the guide too. He fell in love with the cupcakes (as did I) and is making it a must visit as soon as he arrives.
More in my blog :]
-Forget the lazyness, I’ve to read A LOT and study A LOT, so no lazy me this week!
-Plan our anniversary (a year and 5 months!). I have to go to the “chinatown” (not really, but close to one), and buy the ingredients I need for making pad thai!
-Try to eat well, I need lots of energy for this week :o
good luck everyone!
Ooh, I forgot to make some resolutions last week! Naughty naughty! Here’s my list for this week:
x Survive the week without drinking Diet Coke. Although it’s not a very rebellious vice, I am a Diet Coke FIEND (it is my coffee) and this week I’m going to substitute it for tea, just to experiment.
x Wear some of my clothes that have been on low-rotation in recent months – while it’s tempting (and fun fun fun!) to buy some new clothing, I’m feeling a little bit guilty about my pieces which haven’t been worn lately – so its time to pull them out and see if I can be inspired and fall in love again!
x The idea of writing a blog is making my head swoon and my heart flutter! So my final goal for the week is thinking about how I can turn my dream into my reality..
- Set a “wake up” time.
I mastered getting to bed at 12am every night, so now I want to wake up at 7:30am every morning!
- Learn to make smoothies.
I bought a blender, and I need to learn how to use it. If anyone has recipes for interesting smoothies, send them my way!
- Use EFT to work through my anxiety issues.
Work hasn’t been going well at all, mostly due to my anxiety. I want to get rid of those feelings all together.
This is a day late yes >_< but here are my resolutions for this week! –
- Get to work on finding a job! Firstly, write my CV [with help from your article!] & then researching which places I want to go apply to!
- Get creative with my new moleskine! I’ll try and do a page a day for the next week :]
- Start to plan my short trip to London sometime in summer and write down a list of things/places to see and visit, along with the possible cost >_
I got my first weekly resolution done already! My second I’m confident I’ll see the week out by and the third is also on course! Woo hoo! Super exciting.. B xo
