Pursue your dreams and enjoy the unfamiliar
Happy third week of the New Year! How are you doing on your Resolutions my friends?
So far things have been good and that makes me happy.
In today’s post I want to share with you my Resolutions Video for my first video of the year for YouTube! YouTube consistency is one of many goals for the year. I was very proud I was able to get this video out and wanted to share it with all of you!
First and foremost, HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope you had a great 2017 and are ready to kick start your 2018 into full gear! I know I’m ready to make ish happen and start my 2018 New Year’s Resolutions!
And with every new year comes mine and probably millions of other people’s yearly traditions of New Year’s Resolutions.
That’s right, I’m ready to start the year off great and start focusing on my goals in all aspects of my life. And my first way of doing so is to make New Year’s Resolutions at the start of every new year. While a lot of the times my goals don’t really change too much from year to year, I still enjoy having a New Year’s Resolution for the start of every year and throughout the year I also focus on smaller goals to overall reach these resolutions.
Ever get so scared on a bridge that you’re willing to run into people while you run to get off of it? Well I did.
If you didn’t already know I’m afraid of heights. Funny, I used to never be when I was younger. I would climb trees, climb rock walls while on a cruise ship, I actually enjoyed heights. But I took a turn when I visited Yosemite National Park and took a full day hike up to the the upper Yosemite Falls and something in me clicked as I went to the edge of the waterfall. Turns out that I did not enjoy being up that high. And ever since I have been a scared little girl when it comes to heights.

Every year I make a resolution to read more and more books all the time. It all started when I first picked up that Mary-Kate and Ashley Passport to Paris mini-book that came with my MK Snowboarding barbie doll, I was honestly hooked. Funny (and cooler) thing was that when I finished the mini-book I just so happened to be in an airport. I guess my two passions collided in that one moment, it’s pretty wonderful if I must say so myself.
Unfortunately as I got older and life, friends, boys, parties, whatever got in the way, I stopped reading for the pleasure of reading and started to not even pick up books that I enjoyed reading. Granted when high school and college came along I had to read textbooks instead of novels. So truly I did not want to read those.
Since I haven’t opened up a textbook in years (that partially including my college years), I figured it was time to get my butt back into gear and start reading for fun again. For the fun of getting lost in a new world and falling in love with characters. And crying when one of them dies or gets heartbroken. I love how books can throw me into a new adventure whenever I pick one up.
Oh Canada! You are beautiful and I’ve only seen a small part of you. That’s right, I got to actually go out of the country this year and finally visited Canada! I know I still haven’t been to Mexico even though I’ve lived in California and Arizona, but yet I made it to Canada first.
And boy did I love Canada! We visited Vancouver while we visited Seattle to hang out with my two BFFs Ryan and Cody! Ryan was kind enough to drive us past the border of Washington and right into Canada!

October is a great month. I mean not only is it my birthday in October (Yeah, I’m a year older), but I love Halloween and all things scary. Now I usually like scary stuff almost all year round, but there’s always something spooky about anything scary in the month of October. Not to mention we had an actual Friday the 13th in this month!
Working out has been a part of my life lately. Like a lot. I was way more into fitness in my younger days and this Vlog definitely proves it.
Fall. Oh how I love Fall.
Well hello there my lovely people. It seems to have been some time before I last posted anything on almost any form of social media. (I know I say this a lot, but I’m trying okay!)
Any who, I am here and ready to rock and roll. I’ve had a lot more energy and motivation lately and I will thank the gym for that because yes, I have also been going to the gym a lot more lately as well. For my first day back into this social media world and mostly on the YouTube front, I was tagged by an awesome sorority sister of mine named Diana! She made an I love Fall YouTube video and tagged me to answer some questions about my favorite things about Fall!
I recently visited my sister in Colorado and I almost forgot how much I love Colorado. I had so much fun this last time, it reminded me of my very first time visiting her.
Have you ever watched the movie A Walk To Remember with Mandy Moore and Shane West? It’s one of those Nicholas Sparks, will make you cry forever, book turned to movie?
Well if you haven’t, you should if you want a good cry. But for now I’ll just briefly explain a scene in the movie where West took Moore to the middle of this empty road and made her stand and place her feet in two different spots. When she opened them he told her that she could cross off being in two places at one time off her bucket list because she was straddling the state line. So after that moment, I had a huge obsession of being in two places at once.
So instead of Shane West bringing me to place, I found my own.
