Do It Yourself Projects...!!!

Hey Y'all,

I want to do some kind of do it yourself project in the near future. I only have one in mind currently but I'm sure inspiration for more won't be hard to come by. So I apologize now for a short list of projects. A lot of these are inspired by pinterest, where everyone posts their own projects and advice on everything you could possibly imagine. 

1. Build my own Crate bookshelf. I can find the crates at Micheal's for a pretty cheap price. I might be able to get the paint there as well. I'm not sure yet if I want to paint them or stain them. I might stain them because I like the look of stained wood. I'd also have to figure out where to put it and how tall to build it. I think its possible. 

2. Boho Lamps made with mason jars, paint, and gold fabric paint. I actually am currently working on theses. I painted them and everything. The only thing I have left to do is get the gold fabric paint and do that to make them look as awesome as they do on pinterest. I bought everything I need for this one at Micheal's as well except for the fabric paint. I couldn't find the kind they have listed at Micheal's. 

Well I don't have anymore projects as of this moment. I hope to add more as soon as I find some I believe I can do on my own. I'm not the most handy person in the world but I like trying my hand at projects I complete on my own. I feel like its an accomplishment really. I seem to struggle with projects like this because I am a procrastinator. So I always put things off. 

The Best of News...!!!

Hey Y'all,

So after all my hard work applying to different places for a job, I finally got an interview at Kohls. On top of that, I also got a call back from Kohls after the interview, I got the job. I'm so excited, it's a seasonal position but I'm hoping that I can get a more permanent position within the company. For most of you that don't know what a Kohls is, its a clothing and home goods kind of store. I like to shop their discount racks for great deals on clothes I might not buy at full price.  I usually find all my clothes this way. It makes me feel rather accomplished too. It's always an accomplishment for me when I find great clothes that I really love at a great price. 

On top of some other things going on in my life. There's not much to talk about really. I'm still looking for a full time job so I can make the next big adult thing in my life happen, moving out. I may or may not have gotten my boyfriend on board to move out with me too. I know we haven't been dating very long but I feel like this step would be okay for us because we've known each other for a while. I believe we have known each other for almost three to four years now. He's been my best friend for that short time. I feel living together will make no big difference in our lives as a couple or as best friends. 

Honestly, my life is not very eventful at the moment. At this point, I feel slightly like a failure in my life. But really I'm still young. I still have a life to live and I should push for that. I just hope that someday that when I'm old, I wont regret the way I lived my life.

Late Goals of 2015...!!!

Hey Y'all,

So I feel like I'm already doing better with my blog. I know its only been a few days since I made that pledge to myself to start writing more. I think I'm off to a good start. This would be my third post. I hope to continue this trend that I seem to be on. 

Anyway, as many of you know of you know that this year is coming to a close. Unfortunately some of the goals I made for myself never came to pass. I really ought to write these things down more often so that way I can reference them on a day to day basis. If you'd like to see these goals, you can find them here. 

Some of the ones I did accomplish were my goals to read more, saving some money, and trying to live life to the fullest. I have been spending a lot of my free time reading. I love to read. I love getting lost in a a good book. I also love using Goodreads as a way to track my reading progress for that year. I am currently eleven books away from my goal of reading twenty-five books. I'm almost there. I also did start to try budget my money better and save more. It's a lot harder than it sounded. I'm just lucky I have people in my life who I can talk to about it and help me keep on track. I'm nowhere where I'd like to be but at least I have a nice start. Once I find a new job, I will be able to take another look at my budget and see how things will fit into my finical life. I also am allowing myself to live a little. I don't have a lot of money so trying to do some of these things is kind of hard but its not entirely impossible either. I just have to work at it. 

I wanted to add some goals to my goal list. One I want to add is to Be Healthy. To me this means taking the time to workout, eat better, and using an app on my phone to help me track it. I'm just starting out so I know I won't make a huge difference in my life. I just know the earlier you start caring about yourself, the better chances of keeping those trends later in life are usually much higher than vise versa. Currently I am trying to get at least thirty minutes of being active every day. I plan to accomplish this goal through tracking my steps with an app. 

I hope to keep up with my goals and try to push the ones I can't complete this year into next year. I still want to do those goals. I just know that some of them aren't possible for me right now. Hopefully that will change as I find a better job and start to pay off my debt. 

I'll keep everyone up to date on my progress for the rest of the year. I'd love to hear from others about what goals they set and which ones they have come to work on. If you have any, feel free to comment below.
