New Year's Resolutions 2014

It's that time of year again, WOOHOO! ... I mean the end of it of course.

Looking back, 2013 was ... quite a year. I went through a lot this year and although the year started off on a horrible note, I wouldn't change that.  I learned that I'm tougher and stronger than I ever thought. I believe that everything happens for a reason, and this year was proof!

FIT? Manhattan? NYFW? Marc JACOBS? Things have a way of working out if you hold on ...

This time last year is not something I'd like to relive. Seriously, don't let sucky people get you down. It's not worth it. So go wild! Take a risk! Go after something (or someone) you love! Make 2014 a year to remember.

Luckily this year I'm ringing it in with some great new friends. I'm not quite sure what I'm wearing, but I'm thinking shimmery champagne colors, makeup-wise, and possibly a bright nail. I'm excited for what 2014 holds.

I've been thinking a lot about my resolutions since I didn't really have any in the past. This time, I compiled a list of what I want in 2014.

Check out my New Year's Resolutions!

• Read more books - I never really was one to read for pleasure. I never initiated things or ran off to the library for fun (that was my sister). There was mandatory reading in high school, which I did and (mostly) enjoyed. I am going to make an effort to fit in some reading time. In 2014, I hope to read at least one book a month. January = The Fault in Our Stars!
• Save for Paris!!!! - I want to study in Paris this fall, but um, I have no money. I just got hired at Sephora (WOOT) and will be starting in a few days. I don't know if that will help me achieve my goal or hurt me because I'll want to buy EVERYTHING. Hello? MAKEUP ALL AROUND. This could be a real problem guys ...
• Take a yoga class - For the past week, I've tried out meditation and yoga (thanks, internet) and I LOVE IT. I want to take a class this year and really learn more.
• Take it easy/don't stress so much - I'm a worrier. I stress out, I'm always anxious, always on edge. This year, I want to take it easy. B r e a t h e .
• Blog more often, NO MORE talking about being tired or busy - I apologize for the sporadic posting these past few months. There will definitely be more content coming up, I know that!

• Makeup tutorials on YouTube - I've said I'd do this year after year to everyone I know. I put up a couple of videos on YouTube just try it/warm up, but I'm REALLY shy .. and awkward. It makes things a bit difficult, haha.
• Spend more time with people I love - I barely saw anyone last semester. It was like whoosh byeeee. I WILL see my friends more, and make time for them.
• Explore more of NYC - I want to dive into this beautiful city headfirst, and find all the cool places and just sit there for a while. Just sit. Maybe order a coffee (or 5).
• Draw more - I just got my 2014 Moleskine right in time. I have a Moleskine for every year of my life (since the end of middle school). I like to decorate it, draw in it, and it's just fun to see my art through the years. I like to compare my doodles and scribbled song lyrics to what was going on that week, that month, that year.
• Work more on photography - I have several cameras now, and I want to put them to work. I hope to capture more moments - even the little ones. I don't think I'm going to commit to a 365, though. Who knows?

I know it seems like a lot, but I want 2014 to be great.

I wish you all a happy and healthy new year!
