Hi guys !! Smile

It’s almost here, a NEW YEAR !! Everyone looks forward to the start of a new year. I am anyways ! Haha

That will give me the chance to get a fresh start !

Since, one of my Christmas gifts was this book “The Happiness Project

I decided to try my own Happiness Project.
I love everything about this book ! If you plan on setting up some resolution you should definitely read this book ! Smile

OR
If your like my boyfriend who laugh at me every time I say the word “Resolution”, you should still read it! Winking smile Haha

 

So after planning out a rough draft, I finally came up with my 12 resolution categories for the year !

1. The Self
2. Love – Relationship
3. Education
4. Work
5. Friendship
6. Money
7. Leisure
8. Household
9. Eternity
10. Mindfulness
11. Attitude
12. Happiness

I based theses resolutions on Gretchen’s twelve resolutions, but this is just the general ideas ! I will update you guys on the charts and plans. Smile

What are your thoughts on resolutions ? Do you have any particular resolutions for 2012 ?


I will leave you guys will a couple of new songs ! Smile

How do you guys like my “super” original title ? Winking smile
So today is Music Day. I’ve never called it that but let’s start now ! Smile with tongue out

Here are some relatively new videos !

1. Coldplay – Charlie Brown
I love this song and I love their style of music. There new CD “Mylo Xyloto” is amazing !


2. Birdman featuring Nicki Minaj & Lil’ Wayne – Y.U MAD

I didn’t like it at first, but then when Lil’ Wayne starts rapping, I can’t resist ! It’s growing on mee


3. Rihanna – Talk That Talk
This is going to be Rihanna’s next single. So far there’s not really a song I don’t like from Rihanna.


4. All Time Low – Merry Christmas, Kiss My Ass

I love this band, this is the style of music I generally listen too. I suggest looking up more of there hits !


5. Lady Antebellum – We Owned The Night

They’re actually a great country band. I don’t like country that much but they’re good musicians.



The other day I was listening to the Alternative playlists on Slacker Radio and feel in love with these songs ! They’re not new songs but I thought I would share some great music ! Smile

6. Awolnation – Not Your Fault 


7. Rise Against – Help is On The Way

The whole blogging thing…

Dec 18, 2011 by

Obviously I’m not used too blogging. Hence the lack of posts in the past four days. I always to forget to take pictures, bring my camera with me, or forget to plan out posts ahead of time. Not good, Not good.

So I’ll give you guys a glimpse of my week/weekend.

Thursday, I learned that I had a paid day off Friday for no specific reason. So I took the opportunity that day to…

Go to Lowe’s

IMG_0297

and bought a CHRISTMAS TREE! Open-mouthed smile 

IMG_0302

It make the house seem more alive. I love it.

Friday, I took that day off to change the house around a little bit and organize some stuff! That’s one thing you will learn about me is that I LOVE changing things around. I grew up with a mom that did that every week, so I kind of got used to it, and now it’s my turn to do that ! Winking smile

After all that organization and a SWEATY WORKOUT, we went to see Sherlock Holmes at the theatre and had a quick bite to eat at Brewster’s we shared an lettuce wrap appetizer. It was DELICIOUS ! After the movie, the boyfriend was so nice to bring me to Chapters ! I ALWAYS want to go to Chapters! I just love the atmosphere in there.

So after a little bit of walking around, I bought this little planner. I just love Moleskine Notebooks ! It was originally $ 40.00 and got it for $ 20.00 ! So I was happy about that, now I can buy more books ! Haha

Since I was so productive on Friday, this is what my Saturday morning looked like.

DSC04580

Coffee, blankets, television ! No better way to spend an early morning Smile

Sunday, was of course a mix of laundry, and cleaning.

Hope you had a good weekend !

What’s your favorite things to do on weekends ?
Do you like changing things around a lot  ?

PRICE : $225

DESCRIPTION :
What it is:
An enhanced Clarisonic® skincare brush system.

What it is formulated to do:
From the creators of the Sonicare® toothbrush comes a new innovation — the Clarisonic Plus-Pink. Sonic technology first changed the way we clean our teeth, it’s now changing how we cleanse our skin. The sonic frequency moves Clarisonic’s soft, gentle brush back and forth at more than 300 times per second, thoroughly clearing pores and skin surface.

Here are some of the benefits this revolutionary skincare tool delivers:
- Removes makeup six times better than traditional methods.
- Clears pores and reduces the appearance of pore size.
- Cleanses so thoroughly that skincare products absorb better.
- Creates noticeably healthier-looking skin.

The Clarisonic Body Brush Head takes sonic cleansing beyond the face to gently cleanse and exfoliate; smooth rough, dry patches; and prepare the skin to better absorb skincare products. It is ideal for use on the décolleté, hands, arms, elbows, and feet. Enhance your results with the complementary Refining Skin Polish for the body, developed by Robb Akridge. This intensive, 3-tier refining solution exfoliates, firms, and smoothes the skin, delivering radiant, silky-soft results.

What else you need to know:
Used by leading dermatologists and luxury spas, Clarisonic is professional-caliber sonic skincare for healthy, beautiful skin. The Clarisonic Plus has three speeds, allowing it to be gentle enough for cleansing the face yet strong enough to be effective on the décolleté, neck, and arms. Simple control buttons, a customizable T-TIMER®, and a convenient charge indicator make Clarisonic a breeze to use.
