Happy New Year! Are you one for making New Year’s resolutions? I sort of try to set some for myself every year. After just a few months into the new year I sort of forget about my resolutions and revert back to my old ways. I say that I’m not going to make any more resolutions, only to find myself making a few once again. If you don’t set any goals for yourself then how can you reach them? Therefore, here I am with my New Year’s resolutions for 2107.

Not a bad view, huh?! This is where I am for the first week of 2017. No complaints!! Let’s just say that my husband is the best renting us this amazing house on the ocean.
- I received an Apple watch for Christmas. I’m so excited to have it because it’s helping me with some of my fitness goals already. The watch reminds me to achieve certain fitness milestones each day, such as standing more often, moving more, burning a certain amount of calories, etc. It’s sort of like a little nudge that I need to keep me going.
- I received something called a Hips-Sister a few months back (pr sample*). This is so perfect for my walks because I just put it on and can keep my hands free while I walk. I put my phone into it and also my keys and credit card. And what I love about it even more is that it looks good and makes my waistline look nice and slim. This should help with my fitness resolutions as well. Retail is $24.99 on their website.
“Each comes with a front secret top loading pocket ideal for cell phone storage. Other on-board pockets hold keys, jewelry and personal belongings. Everything stays securely around the hips allowing free range of movement and hands-free convenience while working up a sweat at the gym.”
- Decluttering and organizing are things that I promise to do every year as well. I already started on this task a few weeks ago. I’ve been tossing a lot of makeup and beauty products that I’ve had for more time than their shelf life. Why oh why do I insist on being a hoarder? LOL! I’m trying to kick the habit and simplify. I bought a book called The Complete Book of Home Organization
last year and plan to finally put it to good use in my home in the next few weeks and months.

- I plan to revive my Youtube channel in 2017. And I plan to get that started asap. I’m working on a video right now that I will post this week. I wanted to share some of the progress on my new house. I took a bunch of pictures before I left on this glorious vacation so that I could put together a video while lounging poolside.

I’m in total agreement with resolutions. My main 2 are being healthier (I started putting my food tracking in my planner) & organization (I add at least an area of the house to tidy up each day after dinner & if I’m watching TV live, on commercials I have to get things clean.) 🙂
Those are great ways to achieve your goals/resolutions! Good luck to both of us! Stacie xo

my only resolution is to get back into doing a full face of makeup for work even on days when im super tired! i’ve been a bit out of it for a while but it’s just not me! also to use all my massive lipstick collection and rotate them more instead of buying new ones!
Those are great resolutions! I need to do the same with my lipsticks. Stacie xo

I love the hip band for carrying stuff! I usually just tuck my keys in a little pocket in my leggings.
It’s been quite handy! My leggings don’t usually have a pocket, so I’m happy that I have this to use. Stacie xo

Yay for the apple watch! I want one so bad.
I’m loving it! I actually sat and watched an hour long video yesterday on how to use it. Stacie xo

That hip thing is cute. I don’t do resolutions. Just another way for me to disappoint myself. haha
Awww, I bet you’re not as bad at resolutions as you think! Stacie xo

I always say “this is the year I do things” and then I don’t do the things. I don’t have resolutions as much as I have a checklist of things I want to get done. Seeing it in a list makes it a little less intimidating.

Me too! I try every year, but sometimes don’t quite make it. I’m hoping this year’s goals are more attainable. Stacie xo

These are some fabulous goals for 2017!! And that ocean view….amazing!
Thanks! I’m trying to get a good start on the goals. Stacie xo

It seems like you’re already on your way to making your resolutions happen, and that’s awesome! I definitely need to declutter more, I have stuff everywhere. It’s ridiculous!
Oh, I’m trying so hard. I actually started right before Christmas because I knew I’d be out of town for the first 2 weeks on January and wanted to get myself going. Good luck with your decluttering. Stacie xo

You and I share fitness, decluttering and YouTube revival as goals! I’m terribly camera-phobic (fled when they once asked me to read the news, where I died of nervousness and read the teleprompter instructions as well), so I keep putting YouTubing off! Hope we both attain our goals <3

Great goals! Mine mostly include eating healthier and drop 20 lbs. I already dropped 20 last year so I know it’s doable if I put my mind to it.
