Two-Thousand and Sixteen!


Happy New Year!

Well congratulations on making it though another year! Did it seem to go by quickly for everyone or is that just me? 

2015 brought my first full year out of college and in the real world, a new car (and car payment yuck), it brought 2 new members into J's side of the family; a new future sister in law and a new niece, it also brought some sad news, his dad had to find a new job which is relocating his parents to Virginia Beach


2016 is going to be a doozy, one crazy roller coaster filled with lots of trials and excitement and wonderful new adventures. 

This year J & I move into our first apartment together, which is an adventure we are both absolutely thrilled about. We know it will brings challenges and  a much tighter budget but we just keep reminding each other " We Got This" 

This year will also be the first year he has ever lived more than an hour from his parents. We a both big on family so this will be a hard one for the both of us. 

J will also get his first dog this year! He has never had a dog of his own, growing up the only pet he ever had was a hamster- who lived like 5 years which is unheard of!


As for the stupid resolutions people make, I made some too...
1. Lose at least 15lbs 
2. Stay on budget!! No excess spending on things I don't need
3. Be Happy and Stress Less- This will be a difficult one for me. With the new job among other things,  I've developed a lot of stress and have had a fair share of panic attacks. 
4. Relax more - again this goes along with trying to lower the anxiety and stress and how I handle it. 
5. Read more. 




Maybe we will finally get married this year too, who knows but I cant wait to see what 2016 throw our way while we try and learn life together! 





What are your 2016 Resolutions?  Any good book recommendations? Share them, Id love to hear it all!

Holiday Haul

"Maybe Christmas, he thought... doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps... means a little bit more!"

So in light of the holiday season coming to a close I thought I would switch it up and do a haul blog post for y'all. 

These are just a few of my favorite things I got for Christmas this year, I will also do my best to find a link to the products/items in case you wanted the same things and the big fat man in the red suit forgot them in the sleigh 

Urban Decay Smoked Palette $49



Nike Joggers $50





Alex and Ani - A Dream is a Wish  
I have wanted this for months! My sister and I are Passholders
and every time we would go to a park I would ask every store and they were
always sold out! One day I wanted it so bad and had set aside a few extra buck for it 
and went to every resort and every park to find the darn thing and no such luck. 
But my amazing Aunt found it for me for Christmas and I haven't taken it off since.



Coloring Books: These seemed to be a VERY popular gift this year
Color me Calm $11


Tropical World $9

NIKE FREE 4.0 V5 - Currently out of stock





There is so much more but these are a few of the things I am most excited about and know will get the most use from me. 

We also got so many Target and TJMaxx/Homegoods/Marshalls gifts cards from my family to make our apartment feel like home.

But the best part of it all was spending time with my crazy family. It was a very hectic holiday weekend with absolutely no relaxing but it was 100% worth all of the craziness. 

I hope y'all had a wonderful holiday and wish you a Happy New Year! 



ps. Did anyone else get a coloring book as a gift this year if so what one I would love to get more
