Yesterday was my birthday and today was my first full day as a 27 year old. Where does the time  go. I am looking forward to making 27 my best year ever.

Beyonce is my all time favorite singer and her new cd comes on next Monday 4/7. I am so excited to add her cd to my gym mix she always gets me energized.

I plan to accomplish the following goals in April: 

1. Take a cooking class or at least sign up for one

2. learn to sew

3.complete the 21 days to getting organize challenge

4. complete the spring cleaning challenge

5. cook 2 dishes out of Julie Child's cook book

6. finish decorating the living and dining room

7. invest in nice sandals for summer

Anyone else have any goals for the month of April?

2. What is your favorite kind of flower to grow or receive? My favorite flower is a white Tulip.
3. What is your favorite nail polish color?

White because its so on trend and because it goes with everything.

• Where is my Glossy box???? My mail is so slow I always get my subscription boxes a week after everyone else. Hopefully I get my box tomorrow... it would be the perfect end to a Friday.

• Umm so I meant to sign up for bracket contest but I totally forgot and now it is too late. So sad

• Today is the first full day of Spring and it is 75 in Houston. So glad winter is over I hate winter clothes for two reasons 1. I cant layer to save my life 2. winter clothes are so expensive

• I wish I could hire someone to walk my dog in the morning. I hate having to get up 10 minutes early to walk the dog...I need those extra 10 minutes of sleep!!

• I need to create a to do list for this weekend so I can feel accomplish on Sunday night.

• I am going to two festivals this weekend: the food truck festival and the crawfish festival....I am not sure what I love more spring or festivals.

What I’m Loving Wednesday

               

               I’m linking up this week with this kind of love for What I’m Loving Wednesday.

                                                                         I'm Loving...

 

The power of habit by Charles Duhigg. I know at first look this book might seem like a total bore but I am only 50 pages in and I am totally hook. This book discusses how habits are formed and how habits are essential to life.  I decided to give this book a try because my main goal this year is to create new habits that will enhance my life. If you are looking for a new read I definitely suggest this book.

                                                                       I'm Loving...

Iphone 5. I recently just got this baby after I woke up one morning to find my iPhone submerged in water on my nightstand. I guess while I was sleeping I happen to knock over the water on my night stand. Oops!!! Anyway the screen on this phone is amazing and I can not remember life before Siri and I became BFFs.

                                                                       I'm Loving....

Patent leather Miller sandal. I have decided to stop shopping at places like Forever 21 and Wet Seal and really start building a mature 27 year old closet. These shoes are the perfect closet staple and I imagine I would be able to get a lot of wear out of them to offset the cost. 

2013

In a previous blog post I spoke about the reasons why I should become a blogger. One reason was to help me reach my goals through accountability.  For the next couple of days I would like to share with you the many goals I have for 2013… in fact I actually have 101 goals. 

Now your thinking "wow that's a lot she will never be able to do all of those" and maybe you are right but if I don't try I will never know. I got the idea of 101 goals from a blogger I love Design Darling at mackenziehoran.com. Mackenzie is doing 101 in 1001 days but 101 days is too long for me. I need change now.

 I spent new years on the couch with my boyfriend this year thinking about the past year and I realize that I really have not done anything I had just been going with the flow. I had done the normal in 2012: going to work, come home cook and clean, rinse and repeat and on weekends add a few stops at Target.

 I made a promise to myself on New Years that I was not going let the days just pass me by and during next New Year's I would be speaking about all the fabulous things I did and learn in 2013. So over the next couple of days I will be sharing my 101 list for all you to judge and criticize me on….just kidding I know you all would never criticize me.

What are some of your goals for your life in 2013?

Motivation Monday

This quote definitely hits home for me because I constantly struggle with patience. I want everything now! Honestly I really want to everything yesterday. LOL

--- I am not quite sure why linky parties are so popular but hey why not

--- Tomorrow is Friday...I love Friday.. especially the Friday before spring break vacation

--- I leave for Cancun on Monday I have a closet full of clothes but for some reason I need to go to the mall because I have nothing to wear

-- I need to find a website that lists all the online shopping sales so I don't have to go to every website to figure out if they are having a sale or not

--- Neon is the new black for me thanks to Kate Spade and Michael Kors
