Challenge

Hello!

So I failed at blogging everyday,  but I have been doing pretty good with being on time. As for taking photos, meh. Didn't really work out. However, I plan on changing that this month!! I made a little daily photo challenge for the month of February.

The concept of a photo challenge is pretty simple, and open to interpretation. Basically you take a picture everyday that is prompted by the word for that particular day. I really enjoyed making this. It was pretty easy, and I tried to stay with themes that went with days of February.

February photo challenge

Did you know that February is not only black history month? It's also hot breakfast month. If you want to see why I chose some of these daily themes HERE is a link to a really cool website that gives you information on the days in February.

Any who! I know that I'm a little late in posting this challenge, but is there really a rule that says you absolutely must start on day one? I doubt it. Jump on it!! You can start on whatever day of the month it is, or you can play catch up and post all the pictures up to the day you're on all in one go. Get creative with the prompt, and don't forget to tag me on Instagram so I can see all of your beautiful pictures. :)

Love,

Get Shit Done!

Hello everybody!

I say everybody, but let's be honest, who really even remembered that I had a blog. Not me!

So why am I here now? Because it's a new year, and with a new year comes new resolutions. Loosing weight, quit smoking, eat better, travel, blah, blah, blah. There are SO MANY resolutions that we make once a year, and a week later we take a cheat day, and then it's all down hill from there.

I have a new plan this year. I'm making a broader resolution, and I'm going to do a few different things that are really small accomplishments, but will add up when I put them all together.

I'm tired of being the unorganized person who is always late and frantic. A steady lack routine like that really wears on me, and eventually I give up. I'm done giving up. It's time to get shit done!!


Step one: Plan!
Thanks to my wonderful best friend's suggestion I have just purchased an awesome life planer. Erincondren.com is an awesome website that has a great selection of life planers, address books, wedding planners, and much more. I'm going to carry my planner with me all the time. My class schedule, home work, work schedule, and other life schedules are going to go in it AS SOON as I learn about them.

Here is the link to the planner that I picked :)

And if you click here and sign up they send you a coupon for $10 off!

Step two: Be early!
I know "HA!" right? But I have an idea. I'm always at least 15 minutes late for things, and it's because when I know I have to be somewhere at 5 I don't leave until 4:58. It's  problem. So, I'm going to plan to leave 15 minutes earlier than I need to. This step might not seem like it'll work for many reasons, but I'm going to work really hard at it. 

Step three: Everyday!
Finding something to do everyday so your life feels like it has some routine is really important. Some people choose to work out, and some read, or do the daily crossword. I'm going to post a picture. I really like doing the monthly photo challenge on instagram. The problem that I have is keeping up with the days that call for something I'm not interested in. Sometimes I have trouble even finding a monthly challenge to do. So this year I'm going to do a picture everyday. A picture I'm actually proud of. Not just something I posted at 11:58pm just to say I did it. This will also give me a great opportunity to use the awesome camera my parents got me for Christmas!

With these 3 beginning steps I will start my resolution for the New Year. I think I've set myself up for a pretty successful year. 

LOVE, 
ME
