Wowza… When you hear people say that time flies, they aren’t kidding! As I write this post I’m celebrating another trip around the sun. It’s my 52nd birthday (February 12th). I cannot believe those words (or rather numbers) are coming out of mouth. I have a few goals for myself for this next year and I thought I’d share them here. This always helps me. It keeps me more accountable since the goals aren’t just inside my own head or inside a journal that nobody will see. Since I’m announcing them here for the whole world to see, then I have a better chance of sticking to them. Wish me luck!
This next year I plan to:
- Do some more volunteer work.
- Get on a better diet which will include eating less sugar and carbs
- I will purge a good percentage of the things I’ve hoarded over the past few years. This includes makeup, clothing and shoes. It really is ridiculous how much “stuff” I have.
- I will work to overcome some of my claustrophobia. It holds me back from certain things that are fun in life because I worry about being in situations that might set me off, so I just use avoidance more than I should.
- I’d LOVE to build all of my social media connections with people and have better interactions. Let me know if you ever have questions, suggestions or if there’s anything I can do to help you too.
- I’m going to make this next trip around the sun the best one yet!
And now it’s time for a giveaway!! I always celebrate my birthday by giving gifts to others. I’ve decided that this year I’m giving away a $100 gift card to Beauty Brands (their big Friends and Family sale is coming up too!!) and a box of brand new full size and sample size beauty products that will include many luxury brands. Enter below…
Thanks again for all of your support through these past years. I’ve enjoyed getting to know each and every one of you!

I love that phrase – Another trip around the sun! Hope you had a great day. Not surprised to see we share most of the same goals for the year, especially #4. I didn’t realize you were also claustrophobic. Good luck! 👍🏼
Me too! I stole them from a country song. Haha! You’re not claustrophobic, are you? If so, you hide it well. Stacie xo

Happy Birthday! I absolutely love that song, I mean seriously how can you go wrong with Jimmy Buffet and Martina McBride? Have you ever seen the video?
Thanks for letting us share your Birthday and thanks for the opportunity!
Heart ya, Stacie!
I love your yearly goals. Decluttering is on my list too. It’s hard, but necessary….
Happy Birthday! Great goals! I like the purging part, it’s so easy to accumulate junk and then it becomes overwhelming if you let it pile up.
I like to get rid of stuff each month, that way I never have to take a week to clear everything out. 🙂
thanks!
Happy Birthday and good luck with the phobia. Those always suck.
Happy Birthday! The hoarding thing is hard for me, too…I get all excited and giveaway, throw away, recycle, sell a bunch of things…and then buy more to fill the empty spaces, lol.
Happy Birthday! I have some of the same things on my “to-do” list this year.
Fingers crossed! This would be awesome!
Love that store!!!
Happy Birthday! Hope this is your best trip around the sun yet! 🌞
Hope you had an amazing birthday!
Happy Birthday, Stacie!!!
Love your list,Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday. I am also ready to get moving on several projects and some personal goals. Now just to find the time and energy!
A belated happy birthday to you! I like that you’re planning to volunteer. Making the world better for others is the best possible goal.
hope you have a great birthday
Happy Birthday. Great list and best wishes
This is so kind of you to give on your birthday!!!
Happy Birthday! I love your list of goals!
Happy Birthday! Thank-you for running such a great giveaway and thank-you for informing us about Beauty Brands. I’m going shopping!
First of All I Want to Wish You a Very Happy Birthday, I Hope it’s the Best One Yet! Thanks So Very Much Stacie for This Amazing Giveaway, I Really Do Appreciate it! I Could Really Use Some New Makeup & Beauty Products but I Can’t Really Afford to Buy Those Kinds of Things! I Was in a Bad Motorcycle Accident and I’m Currently Unable to Work So I’m On a Major Budget Right Now! I Also Wanted to Say How Great it is to Set Such Awesome Goals for Yourself, I Think We All Need Some Good Healthy Goals! I Have Hypothyroidism Which Makes it Hard for Me to Lose Weight So My Goal is to Get Healthy but Since I Have Chronic Pain I Have to Be Careful Not to Over Do it So I Have Been Trying to Do Some Yoga Lately! I Wish That I Could Do More but I Have Just Felt So Bad Lately Which Has Also Made Me a Bit Depressed! Well I Really Do Appreciate This Giveaway, You Become a Lot More Appreciative & Grateful When You Are Broke or On a Major Budget! Thanks Again Stacie for This Amazing Giveaway, Have a Blessed Day! – Jana
We have a similar personal goal right now! I need to cut sugar out really bad! It is just so bad for my skin. By the way, happy birthday!
Great birthday resolutions! Wishing you another beautiful and fruitful year. Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday! Thanks for a chance at a great giveaway 😊
Beauty Brands on line is a new shopping place for me. I love OPI polish, and they had my brand of shampoo. Happy birthday.
