    New You in 2014: How to Count Calories

    12/28/2013 /

    If you’re like millions of Americans, you will be starting a diet this new year. I remember when I was first starting, I didn’t know which way to turn. Weight Watchers? South Beach? Juicing? Low Carb? Low Cal? Jenny Craig? Atkins? There are SO MANY plans to chose from. For me, I wanted something to work and that wouldn’t break the bank. I had heard that Weight Watchers worked for a lot of people, but essentially…it’s calorie counting with different numbers. You have to take the extra step to look up “points.” For me, I just wanted to simplify it. I decided calorie counting was the “diet” or LIFESTYLE CHANGE…

    New You in 2014: 6 Tips for Goal Setting

    12/27/2013 /

    Today, I am going to talk about setting goals. Not just ANY goals, but REALISTIC goals. I’m pretty good about setting goals, but I lack the follow up that it takes to make my goals realistic. Below are some tips for how to set and follow through with personal goals. 1. Decide on if your goal is SHORT TERM or LONG TERM. Short term goals are smaller, more obtainable goals that may take just a few steps to complete. They generally take less time, but the satisfaction of completion is still great! Long term goals may take the course of a few months or years. In order to make these…

    New Blog Series: New You in 2014

    12/26/2013 /

    *My year in review! When I look back at 2013, I can’t be mad. I can’t complain. I’ve had a GREAT year. 1. I started a weight loss journey. 2. I ended a big chapter in my life. 3. I met, fell in love, and got engaged to the love of my life. 4. I grew as a person. 5. I dedicated myself to giving instead of being selfish. And these are only a few of the things I did! I am not saying I had a perfect year. In fact, I had some of the toughest moments of my life this year. When I see 2013, I see growth…

      I just thought I would show you all this make up look from the other night because I am totally in love with it. You know what my problem is though? I didn’t write down what shadows I was using where or anything of the sort, so I will only be able to tell you what I remember! I really love the highlight in the corners of the eyes. I know for sure that the color there is Verve, I just used so many of that I wouldn’t be able to tell you which one is which! MOTD (Makeup of the Day) / FOTD (Face of the Day) Foundation/Concealer–…
