It was kind of scary how fast 2017 passed by for me. My year was full changes, good and bad, and I can't say that I am the best with dealing with change. I moved across the country, traveled to Europe , and left my job of 5 years for a brand new position in a new city.
Basically, I started over and I am so glad I did. My life was literally refreshed and although it was hard AF it was worth it.
I am already proclaiming that 2018 will be a year of increase and growth for me.
Keep reading for some of my personal and blogging goals for 2018.
Recommit to my Health and Fitness goals
This was a goal for me last year and I have to say that my health is a priority again this year. Although I strive to be pretty healthy by exercising at least 4 days a week, I really do eat like shit pretty often because honestly FOOD IS LIFE. I love a good meal, but this year I just want to cheat less and control myself more. I've been a part time Pescatarian for a few years, but the plan is to go full time this year and eat a lot more green vegetables.Put at least one more stamp on my Passport
2017 was a great travel year for me. I went to NYC twice, Philadelphia, Paris, Miami twice, and Cabo San Lucas. This year, I really want to push the envelope by traveling more internationally and Greece is at the top of my list. As a kid, I was obsessed with Greek mythology so going to Greece will be life goals for me. The Dominican Republic is also planned for this year as a girl's trip and I'm super excited just thinking about it.Take better Photos
As a blogger, I want to improve on my photography and editing skills. I am considering getting Lightroom and some additional lighting so that I can take more photos at night. Right now, I have umbrella lights and I use either my Sony a5100 for selfies and Samsung NX3000 for product photos, but I kind of want to experiment with a ring light.Blog at least twice a week
Because of a bunch of life changes, I found myself not blogging as much as I would have liked in 2017, but it's a priority of mine to change that in 2017. Blogging and beauty is a creative outlet for me and I have to get back to that this year. I miss talking about makeup everyday and even more I miss wearing makeup every day. My life is almost back to normal and I feel really settled and happy in Baltimore so my weekends will be dedicated to my passions in 2018.Socialize more
Since moving to Baltimore, my social circle has become almost nonexistent. I mean I have a boyfriend and a few friends here and there, but I would love to get out and meet even more new people. As an introvert, it's super easy for me to sit at home and be perfectly content, but honestly people need people and I'm no exception. I also want to connect more with other bloggers online and in real life. I used the website Meetup to find some social events last year, so I am going to go out of my way to keep doing that this year.
