Goodbye 2017

Happy New Year Everyone!
I've been absent for quite awhile on here now, but let's ignore that.
What's been happening in your life?
Here is what has been happening in mine (in list form of course):

-Boyfriend came back from work shortly after my last October blog & has been home since which is amazing
-Christmas happened and it was so busy
-I watched Stranger Things 2 and you should too
-I also watched The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (twice!) and I am so in love with it and Rachel Brosnahan
-It's a new year and new year's eve was so chill this year, I loved it.
-I've eaten so much bad for me food and have enjoyed life
-I also started taking my vitamins again and adjusted the time for my medication and it's working very well so far
-We now own an instant pot and food processor and have been experimenting in the kitchen a lot, so expected food posts soon.
-My skin has been amazing thanks to a more simple routine and ingredients. . .and less face masks.
 -Take more pictures

That's about it, we keep it pretty simple around here.
This year I want to start blogging more (always a goal), maybe try the youtube thing again, read lots, keep taking care of my skin, drink less to save more, start running again now that I feel like I'm getting my energy back (thanks Thyroid), keep trying new recipes and explore my island more.


 Happy New Year, I wish you all the best!

The 2016 To Do List

A lot happened in 2015. I did a lot, I didn't venture out of my comfort zone though.

This year I have compiled a list of things I would like to do!

1. Get a new piercing

2. Get back into shape and start feeling good about my body again

3. Have coffee at home more than going to Blenz (but I love that they know I like my croissant heated there and that I take my coffee black in a to-go cup!)

4. Be more adventurous with cooking.  I stick to chicken and pasta, meatloaf, soup and sandwich while my boyfriend is more adventurous (duck, homemade pizza, stews).  I would like to find some amazing recipes to try out this year!  Maybe I'll make a goal soon, like once a week venture outside my box and post about it (there's a good idea, way to go!)

5. Fold the laundry right away... This is a hard one, as I hate folding laundry (I'm currently looking at a basket full right now)

6. Do a solid purge of my wardrobe.

7. Blog, a lot.  And post one video a week on my youtube channel (I'm cringing)

8. Start planning a wedding.  Ugh.  I bought a wedding magazine, there is a lot to do did you know that?  I don't think it'll happen until 2017 maybe 2018 if it's too overwhelming.  I do love this guy dearly, so maybe we'll end up doing a spur of the moment thing.

9. Visit my niece more.  I'm terrible at this.  I think I've seen her a handful of times since she was born in September.

10. Shop online less. Spend less money on things I don't need so I can buy a house.

What does your list look like for 2016?
