2k13 is YOUR year...

So, I got my Birchbox yesterday, and tucked inside was a list of 25 ways to make 2013 awesome.

As I was reading through it I thought, THIS LIST, THIS LIST WAS MADE FOR ME! It was just what I needed, something to get me motivated, and goals to reach, without actually having to think of them myself! (see the irony there)

I guess they aren’t really “goals”, per se, but they are things to get myself rebooted, and hopefully ways to get my mind off what it’s been focused on for the past week or so.

So here we go, check out the list and see what you think

[ONE]: Don’t swear off carbs (I couldn’t do this if my life depended on it. I’m Italian and Sunday’s call for anything containing pasta)

(2): Experiment with yes (I’ll ante up to this; although I feel like this could get out of control #yikes)

{3}: Leave your phone at home (I’m intrigued by this. Of course the day I do it, I will run out of gas or get a flat tire, but still…intrigued)

[FOUR]: Get cozy with SPF (my new daytime face cream contains SPF, checking this one off the list!)

{five}: Eat Breakfast (see previous post: instant grits have become my go-to. Although I am working on early morning wake-ups that allow me more time…see number 8)

(6): about those resolutions (I really only vowed to keep my running up and to start going to church again. So far so good!)

[[SEVEN]]: Start a Sunday evening ritual (does nursing a hangover every Sunday count?)

[eight]: TAKE YOUR TIME (I try, I so try to wake up early to give myself time. BUT this coming from the girl who slept in a wet ponytail and her uniform in high school so all I had to do was brush my teeth and go!)

{9}: optimize your skincare (huh?? Why wouldn’t you be using something that’s effective anyway??)

{TEN}: fancy a new spritz (I’m hooked on Viktor and Rolf “Flowerbomb” right now, so I’m going to continue to fancy that for a while)

I think I’m going to keep you hanging for the next 15...

See anything, so far, that may spark your twenty13 fire??

Friday Letters

Changing it up a little this week. Linking with Ashley, from Adventures of Newlyweds, for Friday Letters!

 Dear Kabuki. You are amazing. I wish you were differently located so other people could know your amazingness. Don’t worry I am working on spreading the word. Dear Dani and Mal, thank you for walking the LSU lakes with Fritz and me on Tuesday. We thoroughly enjoy the scenery, and its even better to enjoy with someone who can talk back to me. I hope we can do it more often.  Dear Lindsay Lohan and Amanda Bynes, get your shit together. No one, seriously, NO ONE gets in that many wrecks in that amount of time. Everyone is past the point of you knowing you need attention. I mean, Amanda, no one had seen or heard from you since What I Like About You; I’m beginning to believe you were jealous of all the attention Jenny Garth has been getting. If y’all need attention why not try the, shaving your head, ramming cars with umbrellas, Britney Spears way.  Dear Hilary Duff, thank you for beating the Disney/Nickelodeon curse. Dear Bulldog, thank you for becoming my new hangout with Fritz. Dear Sonic, screw you for being next to the Bulldog, but thank you for giving me the wrong order – because it was disgusting and kept me from eating unnecessary calories. Dear Sister, Thank you for my Birchbox subscription – seriously best present ever award goes to you.  Dear New Orleans, please take it easy on me this weekend, I am preparing myself to bring my A game, which could be dangerous for all involved…
