Happy New Year!

Hiiiiiiiii, it's me again. Your friendly oh so scatterbrained blogger friend. But it's a New Year, we all survived 2012 and the end of the world and lived to tell the tale! My last month has been full of working. And more working. And more working. I've been working like crazy to get through the holiday season alive, AND because I'm saving money for a very exciting life changing event. I'll let you in on that little secret soon though! :)

Now if you've been reading my blog ever you've probably seen my write about "Project Life." Project Life is basically the coolest way of scrapbooking your life.. without actually scrapbooking. And it's all started by a different badass named Becky Higgins. Now I'm calling this project of mine project life, but I'm actually using knock off supplies because it was super difficult for me to get Becky Higgins' products in Canada.

The basic premise of project life is putting photos, notes, and other memories in photo sleeves, and eliminating all of the complicated time consuming nonsense of trying to compose a full scrapbook page. It's fun, it's easy, it's a way of preserving memories.

This is my very first project life page. My 2013 New Years Resolutions. I'm using a 12"x12" binder with multiple photo sleeves.

Along the side I put one of my favourite quotes from Ms. Oprah Winfrey (who by the way *unpopular opinion* should really put someone else on the cover of her magazine. I mean it's already named after you!). It says "Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right!"

At the bottom of the page I cut out ugly stars from the band of a party hat from New Years Eve and wrote 2013 inside of them to add a little bit of sparkle, because what's NYE without a little bling!!

At the very top I put together a bunch of my favorite pictures of the night!

I love this project. I am having soo much fun already thinking about what I'm going to do next week. I'm going to post my new project life pages every Wednesday hopefully for the rest of the year!!

 *This is not a sponsored post I really am this excited about Project Life!*

New Years Resolutions!

Hellooo 2013! 

We survived! I've been working my turkey dinners off (just kidding I was working so much I never actually got a turkey dinner) which is why I've been 100% MIA for the last month. But hey, this is my blog I DO WHAT I WANT. Just kidding I'm sorry I love you.

My NYE consisted of work until 11:45, making myself 10 minute pretty, and getting absolutely hammered with a former CFL player. I had a way better time than I expected and I seriously love all of my co-workers, they're like a second family to me, living and working together has made us so close, especially in this past month! 

The next day was basically a blur of work and coffee, but I did manage to jot down my resolutions for the upcoming year!

So these are my Resolutions! In case you can't read them they are:

1. Take 1 photo/day! I have a lot of exciting plans for the future, and even an instagram photo would do. I want to remember everything about 2013!

2. Blog once/week (at least!) I was trying to set reasonable goals. I want be more consistent with you little blog!

3. Get out of the country! So many plans, so little time... We'll see what the future holds ;)

4. Keep doing project life (2 pages/week) I just finished my cover pages and have started working on my pages for this week and I'm already freakishly addicted to this project!!

5. Work on my fitness once/week! Again, reasonable goals. I'm actually really happy with my body right now, you can check out my fitness blog and see how I do with this goal!

6. Skype/call/email the family once/week! I love my family sooo much, but I am the worst at keeping in touch!! I hope that will follow through with this one, it's probably the most important of all! 

7. Experiment more with fashion! Jeans and tshirts are getting boring. I've already started to branch out of my sweatpants bubble, but expect more OOTD posts in the near future!

8. Make the most out of 2013!! I want to live life to the fullest and take every opportunity that gets thrown my way! 

I am super excited to be starting a New Year, and I have a super positive outlook on the next 12 months - and beyond!! I hope everyone had an amazing night, a hungover next day, and are looking forward to this coming year as much as I am!!
