A New Year, Another Promise

So, I did it again. I had neglected the blog and I made big promises to get back and start posting regularly, and then I neglected it again. I'm ready to try once more.

It's an exciting time in my life and I want to try to get back to doing what I love. I got engaged this New Years Eve on the Cape so I'm in the midst of planning my wedding, looking for a new home, and everything else that comes with starting your life with someone.

I know it's February, but I thought I'd start with my new years resolutions:

1. Drink better Champagne 
2. Actually do things instead of just talking or dreaming about doing them
3. Read at least 1 hour every day
4. Start a better beauty regimen

Perrier-Jouët to celebrate choosing my wedding dress.
My one hour of reading is currently Bossypants.
Birchbox for a better beauty regimen.

27th Birthday!!!

Today is my 27th Birthday and we all know how much I love birthdays!!!

This is an especially exciting birthday for me as I have a lot of big life changes happening. Yesterday was my last day with a company I have been with for over four years, I am going to be starting to take classes again soon, looking for a new home, and much more. I am looking forward to starting off my 27th year by spending the day with Nic, pumpkin pancakes, Champagne, and some much-needed pampering (hair and nail appointment). Cheers to an exciting and challenging new year!
