Happy New Year!
Can you believe that it’s 2018?!
I don’t know about you, but I love the start of a new year.
New goals.
New dreams.
New destinations.
A new baby.
(Had to throw that one in there! haha!)
Starting new excites me but I also love looking back on the past year! I think that looking back and reflecting on what went well and what didn’t is a great learning experience to take into 2018. I totally believe that you can learn something from every experience, good or bad, and I love reflecting on that when the year changes over.
As for this blog of mine, I can’t believe I’ve been doing it for 2 years. I can honestly say that I never expected it to turn into what it has and I’m so enjoying the ride!
This blog grew by leaps and bounds in 2017 as I attended New York Fashion Week, worked with some amazing brands/companies and had over 100,000 blog views this year.
SAY WHAT?!
I’m so incredibly proud, humbled and excited that you guys have loved reading it as much as I’ve loved creating it.

So cliche…..but it’s time to get my butt back in the gym!
Always a good goal!! And no better time to start! Good luck girl 🙂
Resolution is to try to eat healthier- less chocolate ugghhhhhh
Oh my goodness….story of my life! It's so hard!
My main resolutions are to read more and get back into yoga! 🙂
Reading more is SO on my list too!
Exercise more and eat healthier!
Time management and being more productive, but balancing with family and friend life. Hoping your future *hopefully soon before baby* post will help me with this!!
My New Years resolution is to surround myself with more positive people. I really do believe people’s negativity can absolutely affect your mood! Here’s to being happier!!
Be consistent in all things..diet, exercise, business…I have a tendency to start out strong and then fall off the boat!
I want to travel more! It’s so hard with the kids. I feel guilty leaving them but traveling with them is so expensive. I would like to do one couples trip and one family trip this year. We are on our way to Disneyland now!
One of my resolutions is to be more intentional with my time. My husband and I are trying to make date night more of a habit too:)
Im excited for the new year, new dreams, new goals! I'm revving up the new year getting things figured out how to pay for extra training to be certified in brow tattooing and lash extensions. Then putting forth some time & energy on my blog, going back to church and putting those lessons Ive learned in life to work! So lots to do this year!
For New Years, I usually have a list of to dos for the first part of the year (specific house renos, work projects, recipes, and chores). But my big goal for this year is to get back to doing yoga 🧘♀️ and complete a motivational course to keep me positive over the winter! Great giveaway 😘 – Nicole pike young
Take more me time. As a new mom, it's one of the hardest things to do, but more self-love is needed for m to recharge!!
Take more me time. As a new mom, it's one of the hardest things to do, but it's needed to recharge!
Taking charge of my own decisions and not letting other people’s opinions get to me.
Not worrying what others think and to quit taking everything personally.
I really want to work on drinking more water!! I have a real struggle to stay hydrated!
I’m defintely getting my eating under control! Workin out is no problem for me because I love it! Eating is the hard part ��
More me time for sure! With 3 daughters, I sometimes forget that I also need stuff…especially clothes! They shouldn’t be the only stylish ones in the house!
I need to be better at managing money!!
Have more patience with my kids and make time for myself… the two probably go hand in hand!

Lose weight and get healthy!

Seems so easy, but my resolution is to make my bed everyday!
