New Years resolutions

by Olivia

– What I want to accomplish in 2021 –

I am a person who ACTUALLY makes resolutions every year and REALLY TRIES to stick to them.

I write them in a notebook where I can reflect on them every so often. New Year resolutions can be super personal, but sharing mine with you, is a way to encourage you to reflect on your past year and make plans for the next.

I think you have to be practical with your resolutions in order to make your goals apart of your routine. One of mine from last year was to tell people I love them more. Silly maybe, but I wanted people to know I care and appreciated them. The more I said it, it just became apart of my routine. So my biggest tip is to make resolutions that are attainable.

Here are mine this year!

  • Pray each night

  • Do pilates 5 days a week

  • Manifest/write in my journal weekly

  • Stop caring what others think of you

  • Focus on your mental health

  • Eat clean

  • Be environmentally friendly/use to-go cupsreusable water cup

Most of these are a repeat of last year, but I want to continue to remind myself these goals make sense and are attainable to my lifestyle.

One of the resolutions  I added was, “be environmentally friendly/use to-go cups.” I never really thought about being environmentally friendly. HORRIBLE, I know.. Once I moved down to Alabama, I noticed they didn’t recycle. Which I find BIZARRE. So I made it a mission to use to-go cups for coffee, water, tea, anything that I could bottle up in a to-go cup.

To go water cups are everywhere and they’re amazing. Most of the time, they keep your drink cold and icy all day. BUT, it’s so much harder to find a to-go coffee and tea mug, that keeps your drink hot and has a lid and handle. Look no further, NAYAD has the best to-go mugs, I got the Metro Mug. They’re so cute and come in so many colors. They’re environmentally friendly and keep my drink warm for hours.  All the tumblers are stainless steal. NAYAD has not just mugs, they have tumblers, bottles and just everything you’d need for your drink on the go.

Apartment decor – What I bought for my apartment

It’s no secret! I’ve moved over 800 hundred miles away from New Jersey to sweet home Alabama for my dream job as a TV news reporter.

I was so nervous about leaving all the familiarity of home to go somewhere new. I had never even been to Alabama. It was so important for me to make my apartment feel like MY home. I tried to make it cozy as possible with all the apartment decor. Coming back here at the end of the day gives me so much comfort.

The move was…eventful. The moving company promised a delivery on Jan. 6….it showed up Jan. 9. As I type this it sounds silly, what’s a few extra days, right!? Well, my Mom and I slept on an air mattress for one too many nights. Mom had to extend her days and change her flight. It was a pain, but I’m lucky she was able to stay longer. Just a hiccup during the move, but it all showed up and we’re thankful for that.

I feel very grateful for this space and apartment, I’ve worked really hard to have something like this and I’m so happy this apartment is now my home. One day, I’ll live in a more neutral toned space, so while I’m living alone and am young, I wanted a FUN space.

I played with color and ran with it. I wanted to go out of my comfort zone and sway away from neutrals with my apartment decor. Of course, my go to accent color is pink, so you’ll see subtle touches of it all throughout. The main statement in this apartment is the couch. BOLD but I love it. There’s no time like now to have fun with a space. I think it has vintagey/retro vibe but more modern.

Everything is linked below! Just click the images. The bar stools are from AtHome, I couldn’t find the exact stools but recommend that store for anything home/apartment decor. I had never been there and yeeesh, it was AMAZING.

Sharing one of my favorite winter outfits on the blog today. If you follow my Instagram, you may have seen it there first.

First of all, this jacket is SUPER affordable. My blogger friend, Taylor Mantz, found this coat at Target and when I got it, it was on sale for $25 dollars. A STEAL. I’m obsessed with it and it’s so versatile.

You can easily replicate this outfit with pieces from your own wardrobe, but everything will be linked below.

The leather pants are from Princess Polly, but I couldn’t link them on LIKEtoKNOW.IT. Here is the link.
