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!

February 13, 2017 at 6:41 amI 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! 👍🏼

February 13, 2017 at 12:07 pmMe too! I stole them from a country song. Haha! You’re not claustrophobic, are you? If so, you hide it well. Stacie xo

I love your yearly goals. Decluttering is on my list too. It’s hard, but necessary….
Debbie F says
February 18, 2017 at 2:08 pmHappy 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!

Jana Williams says
February 20, 2017 at 11:48 amFirst 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
