New Years Resolutions: Just be me

Sorry, I'm a procrastinator. Sorry, but I'm not really sorry.  

I decided to approach this year a little bit different. Maybe it's over-compensation for having no real motivation to better myself. But I also don't believe that's entirely true. 
I do want to better myself, but I don't want the new year to tell me that's what I need to do. 

So instead of goaling myself to lose 10 pounds, something I'd love to do. I'm not setting myself up for disaster with January 1. The reality is, I probably will lose 10 pounds but not because of a resolution. 

I just want to be me. I want to look at myself at the end of this year and recognize the woman I am and think, "this year, she was finally herself, not trying to mirror someone else or beat herself up for not being perfect when everyone else seems to be living this fabulous life." 

This years resolutions will go a little something like this. 

1. Eat more Chocolate 
2. Shave my legs less 
3. Snort 
4. Go out of the country. 
5. Search for home. 


You get the point. In the coming of the new year, I only want to be me, something I feel is a goal in itself. 

I also decided if learn something, that will be an accomplishment for 2014. 

On January first, I learned how to make a successful poached egg.  Score!!! 

Things I've already done since January 1. 

1. Learned to make a poached egg.
2. Gone out of the country. Mozambique. 
3. Had more family's dinners. 
4. Learned about a coconut 
5. Read 2 books, almost done with a third. 
6. Applied for three jobs. 

I'm sure there is more, but I'm blanking at the moment. 

absence makes the heart grow fonder.

absence. 

sorry for my absence been a complete whirlwind. I feel like the new year means the opportunity to start fresh. But then life doesn't always happen to work like that. I was behind before it started. 

I got to work early today so I could get caught up. Grabbed coffee for the birthday girl, my boss and myself. It all seemed like smooth sailing. I did my first styled shot of the day and it was a breeze. As I was sifting through pictures to edit,  I made a major mistake. I photographed the artwork in its packaging.  Thought to myself, no biggie, I will just do it again. I photographed it again. What did I do? I made the exact same mistake Again!!!

Needless to say, that's been my year so far. 

After this weekend--fingers crossed, I should be back to speed. I have so much to tell you. Lot's of secrets. Get excited. 


Happy Friday! 

The new Stuffed magazine came out. This shot makes me so happy. This artist is pretty great, I love her whimsical characters.
