Goals! 

Plenty of us have things we’d like to accomplish. I’m finding more and more as the years go by, I’m reflecting on if I’m satisfied by my accomplishments. The verdict is: I’m not at all satisfied! I have some traveling that I would like to do, projects I would like to bring into fruition as well as some health goals I’m reaching towards that I’d like to accomplish. 

Nevertheless, I took time to reflect and plan on my next moves. While I won’t be sharing any of those goals here, I would like to encourage everyone reading to reach for a your goals. Let those goals be motivators for getting up in the morning. I have so many things that I put on a list that I wanted to conquer this year and I’ve done quite a few! I’m so proud of that! Moving forward, I am focused on not my fails but my progress…no matter how seemingly small. 

In the near future, you all will see my goals as I accomplish them and I will be sure to elaborate on them them. It is important that we not get frustrated at what seems like a fail. Each failure teaches us a lesson that can’t be learned any other way. Using focus, turn attention to all positives. Positive people, friends, thoughts and productive actions all help in gathering the gusto to check off those goals. 

Ignore the people that tell you that you can’t, the thoughts that take your confidence down and avoid procrastination. Don’t put off doing something because you’re afraid to fail. The weather isn’t always true to the current season but each season comes like clockwork! Things may not go right during a certain “season” in your life, leaving you to battle through treacherous storms but don’t put off your goals because of it. Makes accomplishments despite those storms. 

Feeling Inspired!

Thank you for everyone that stuck around in my semi-absence. For putting up with my “here and there” uploads. But I’m back and I’m feeling inspired for once in a very long time. I have a it of advice, PLEASE take a social media break when you need it! I know I don’t normally upload a post on a Sunday but for those of you that are not swept into the Super Bowl frenzy, hopefully you’re reading this lol.

Most times, I’m not really inspired by the cold season. This time, I am. I wanted to just talk about what make me feel cozy. What I enjoy. Recently, I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had a chance to really enjoy some of the things that I have wanted to. There are goals that I set this year to enjoy things that will also enhance my life. One of those things is learning another language. You would be surprised how inspired you become just from learning another language and embracing the culture that is entangled with it. This inspiration has got me going…what has been your inspiration lately?

Bomber OOTD: Where Have I Been? & Change Is Coming?

Hi guys!

So things have been pretty rocky for me the past year (2016) as I have discussed in one of my last blog posts of 2016 but I have still been having trouble getting into the swing of things. I haven’t been able to give my full focus to my blog so I needed a brief step back. Secondly, I’ve been oddly uninspired. I feel like I hit a blogging rut. The blogging world has changed so much.

You know I’ve been considering doing YouTube videos for some years now but recently I’ve gotten more interested. That’s taken some of my interest from my blog. I’m ready to make YouTube an extension of my blog. I love doing reviews but I’d like to be able to build and share with a wider audience for my reviews.

Next, in my honest opinion blogging (not bloggers) has become so unauthentic in so many ways. Actually I hear Youtubers saying the same, that YouTube is no longer fun. For me, it just seems that blogging and Instagram has become something other than fun and genuine. Instagram is no longer as a matter of fact or natural moments type pics. Pictures are staged and over dramatized to draw in jaded consumers and “viewers”. Extra is needed to be noticed. I miss the the fun and impromptu posts. Well, I can’t complain too much because I’ve been guilty of staging photos for reviews. It’s pretty much business. Honestly, I hate staging tho. {Insert eyeroll} But how do I get back to that fun I first had?

Well, I’m working on a few things. I won’t say right now but I am. I’m excited to do some blogger collaborations this year. Just plain ol fun! In the meantime, I’m going to continue to review and do outfit posts. I love thrifting so I’ll be going back to more thrifting and posting those looks on my blog. So keep a lookout for those posts! Shall I do a thrifting series? Hmmm, let me know! Thank you guys again for sticking around!
