Welcome to 2018

Hello!
I’m finally getting back to writing a real post on here. As I sit at my desk contemplating all the things that have happened this year, I know that I’m ready to enter 2018! Things in the last few weeks have been crazy, but with the promise of new beginnings and more things to come. I thought that I would share some of my goals and hopes for the year.

I want to finish 52 books in 2018. I set my reading goal on GoodReads at 25, but I’m hoping to read more. I plan to participate in at least 2 readathons and hopefully that will encourage me to read more, even if I don’t make this goal it will still be good to try and achieve it.
I want to travel at least 3 times this year. Matt and I have 3 potential trips planned and hopefully we’ll be able to do all of them.
I want to finish 10 eyeshadows in 2018. A few of these shadows will be included in my Pan that Palette challenge which I hope to announce more in a video soon. I have failed the challenge the past couple of years, but I have hope that I will do well this year.
I want to have more adventures and do more, so I can share my experiences with you. Even though in 2017 I had plenty of adventures I feel that I didn’t share them enough with my friends and online community.

In many ways 2017 was a year of growth and change. There were many stressful and unnerving moments, but more blissful moments and moments that I am proud to say that I traversed through. I spent a chunk of 2016 and 2017 in self doubt and worried that this is all my life is. Now that I traveled through that period and am back with a vengeance on creativity and bringing you things that I hope that you will enjoy. I hope that you will continue to follow me in 2018.

How was your year? What are some goals that you want to accomplish this year?

Hey..

I know that I haven’t been around much lately, but I’ve been in a major blog slump lately. If you are visiting my blog after a while you will notice that aside from the major over haul that has happened here, there is a huge chunk of posts from the past year that are missing. I do know about that I’m still cleaning up the clutter from claiming my own blog domain and creating my own space. I had been meaning to do that for a while, but when photo bucket decided to over haul their web situation I decided that it was time to make all the move.

I would like to say thank you in advance for all your patience. I am still in the process of cleaning up the clutter and getting those missing posts over here. It will be a bit. I will also be deleting some very old posts from my blogger days that I had transferred over to wordpress. I’m not deleting them because I’m embarrassed about them I’m mainly deleting them because the content is not relevant anymore. With this revamp I’m hoping to take my blog in new directions and show you a bit more about my life. I hope that you will stick around and see what else I have in store. I promise that I will be back soon.

I know that I’ve been slacking a little with the posts, but I’m hoping that I can catch up and work forward, by doing a few of these link-up parties. Today I’m linking up with Lauren from Siddathornton. I’ve read her blog off and on for several years. I don’t even remember how I discovered her blog, but it’s beautiful and you should check it!
