Things I'm Currently Craving

2016 is off to a great start for me. There are a few things that I know can help me along with my goals and things that I just plain ol want to buy! I'm patiently waiting, but I know it won't be long before I eventually cave in.

1. REDKEN Anti-Snap. I seriously feel like I NEED this product in my life! I ran across it while indulging in one of the GlamTwinz youtube videos and as soon as I heard the name I was intrigued. This product promises to 'helps fortify hair that's prone to breaking, splitting or snapping off, gently smoothes the cuticle, reduces friction from brushing and helps prevent further damage, and leaves hair healthy, shiny and resilient through a unique 3D Repair Complex of proteins, ceramide and lipids to help provide internal strength, cuticle reinforcement and protective resurfacing.' All of my healthy hair junkies out there...does this not sound AMAZING?!
2. I totally blame Kim of FancyFlairLady for this next item. The FITBIT Charge HR! I honestly hadn't heard of this particular fitbit until it was mentioned in her blogpost and now I must have it. As I stated in my previous post I'm not only trying to lose weight, but also live a healthier life period. I'm a huge fan of myfitnesspal and having a device that will truthfully track my activity both at work and during workouts is awesome. We'll see how long I can hold out before I grab this little guy.
3. NYX Cosmetics 2016 spring releases. As a beauty junkie I keep up with the various makeup releases and NYX has released so many beautiful products. I've been keeping myself on a strict budget for the month of January, but I have a feeling in February a little NYX haul may be in order. Of course I'll do some reviews of the things I try.

What are you guys currently craving?

New Year Goals

I've been gone so long from the blogosphere until I don't even know where to begin. Let's just say life took over and I took some time away to enjoy the ride. I got married, traveled with the hubby, adopted a dog, had lasik eye surgery, and celebrated the holidays in our home with our family. Honestly 2015 was absolutely phenomenal and I enjoyed every second of it! Now that 2015 has come to an end it's a new year, which for me means new goals and aspirations. I'm totally a resolutions person and enjoy having something to work towards. This year I have several goals in mind and I'm ready to hit the ground running!

1. Lose my marriage fifteen. You know how people say that when you become a freshman in college beware of the freshmen 15. Well nobody warned me about the marriage fifteen! After the wedding and honeymoon we were exhausted and honestly have spent most of the year eating whatever we want whenever we want so the hubster and I have decided to recommit ourselves to our health. For me that includes losing 15-25 lbs. I plan to do that by using MyFitnessPal. I have great success when I track my food so that's what I'll be doing. Feel free to add me! My username is Courtnea2001
2. Recommit myself to exercising regularly. While 2015 was awesome it was not my best year in fitness. My exercise routine was sporadic at best and it's time to step it up. Not only will it help me to achieve my first goal, but I feel better when I'm exercising. I am planning to commit to 3-4 days per week minimum.
3. Travel. Last year the hubby and I got to travel some and it was awesome. I would like to continue that trend and travel more this year!
4. Maintain a positive outlook. Sometimes people and things can get the best of us and before we know it those people and things can have us feeling and thinking negatively. Not this year. I am determined to maintain a positive outlook no matter what!
5. DIY Projects. The great thing about being a homeowner is making the home your own. We love our home and have been slowly chipping away at the list of projects that we would like to do. This years projects include a fabulous spring garden, putting a door under our staircase for extra storage, back splash in our kitchen, and the perfect dining room set.
6. Blog at least once a week. I honestly have missed blogging and even when I wasn't posting I have always been reading and keeping up with the bloggers that I follow. It's a great outlet for me to share whatever comes to mind. So while life is busy I want to commit to doing at least one post a week!

What are your goals for 2016?
