Week 1- Day 2 - Waking up Early

Good morning, everyone!


I hope you all had an amazing weekend.

Well, my week started off a little rocky. I got up 20 minutes late yesterday, and I feel like it threw off my whole day. I couldn’t do all the things I wanted to accomplish. 

I was able to wash my face, listen to my podcast for the day, and put on some Halloween nails, because who doesn’t love the spooky season right?

I couldn’t write my blog post for Monday, journal, or write in my Positive Journal.

But that’s okay! Mistakes happen, that is just part of growing as a person. I think it is important to note that every process is not a straight line, and that is okay. Life just doesn’t work that way.

With that being said, I did get up on time this morning! 

So far, my morning routine is finding a podcast while I lay in bed a bit longer, and once that is found, I’ll get up to wash my face. I think washing my face helps wake me up a bit. 

After that, I will try to tackle everything I wanted to do. So this morning, I wrote in both The Positive Journal, and The Me Journal, then I did my Candid scan (I’m straightening my teeth with aligners, I have to do scans every 10 days to move forward), and now I’m writing to you all!

As every day goes by, I’m starting to learn that each morning is going to be a bit different. There will be constants, like the podcast and washing my face, and variables, such as my Candid scan or doing my nails. 

I do feel that perhaps another half hour would be beneficial. Since I must start getting ready for work at 7am, I’m only getting an extra hour each morning to myself. 

Perhaps after the first week, or two, depending on how I feel, I will start waking up at 5:30am. 

What do you think?

Also, what are some new things that you can begin doing to improve your life? Let me know in the comments below. 

Here’s a photo of my spooky nails, because I know you want to see them!

Week 3 - Good Morning!

 Goooooood Morning! I'm going to come right out with it. I have not been doing great at getting up early. That's because over the weekend, I decided that what I wanted to do with my extra time, was cuddle with my fiancé. It was late mornings from there. BUT! Here I am, at 6:30am, writing to you. It's not all bad! I'm up earlier than usual. Positive thinking right? Had an amazing weekend, had a photoshoot with some women I didn't really know and we pretended we were in a Coven for Halloween, I'll attach some stuff for you to look at. 👀 And as always life is busy busy busy, but I'm choosing to look at it as "productive".  I always like ticking something off my list!  Next list to start working on, my wedding planning list. Who would have thought there was SO much to getting married! 😅 I hope you enjoyed the small snippet I shared! Comment and tell me what you thought!

Life Changes

The year 2018 was not a good year for me. Two things that will send someone into a crippling depression happened to me... As I am still healing from this most recent one, I don't want to go into much detail. But for the rest of this post to make sense you'll need to know that Vincent and I are no longer together, after 8 years.. As time goes by I expect I will be able to open up about it. The past few years I have been stagnant. I still started a Master's program and got a new job as a manager, but I was just existing. I wasn't actually living my life. At the beginning of October I started a 6 week fitness challenge at a CrossFit gym in town. I lost 15 pounds and began to love myself again. But I still wasn't happy. It took the earth shattering, heart breaking, event to make me realize that I needed to do something about the way I have been living. I was one of those people who got up, went to work, came home and sat on the couch watching TV and waiting for the ...

Long Time

Hey everyone! It's been a very long time since I've written on here. This year so many things have changed! Vincent moved in with me at the end of December 2016, it has been going super great! I love waking up to him every morning (except when I work graves of course). I can't believe its been 8 months since we made that giant leap in our relationship, things have been moving along so smoothly. At the end of February I became a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant! Let me tell you, I was so nervous at first. The starter kit was $100 and it came with over $400 worth of product in it, so NO BRAINER, I signed up. I signed up wondering if I could make any money in the business of skin care and cosmetics, and I soon found out I could when at my first party I sold over $300 of product! Quickly I decided to invest in my business and milk it for all that I could, honestly, it hasn't been unrewarding. I've had so much personal growth, it's insane. I beg...
