Goodbye 2010

So its 7:48pm and forever the last day of 2010. Thank God!! Im am so overjoyed for this year to be over its unreal.
While I know life has its curves, ups & downs, however you want to see it, this year was a tough one for me. And while at the end of the day Im a stronger person, I also am still stressed out just thinking of all the things I went through! And all the people I lost, some deceased, and others who I just had to let go of. One thing I am proud of is not having that many regrets this year. I know a lot of people who are looking back on their year and say "oh, i shouldnt have done this, or if I would have done that then things would be different"..but not me. If things werent supposed to play out the way they did then they wouldnt have. Its as simple as that, and all the time you spend wishing things were different is wasting time on the "right now" and what you can be doing in the present..im not preaching lol just a thought..
I wont make this long, because like a lot of other people in the world Ive got plans tonight! So whatever you do have fun and be safe! Lets start this new year off right!
In love and style

2011 New Year Resolutions

So its that time of year again!!
Egg Nog, Mistletoe, Sales at your favorite stores and lets not forget those good 'ol New Year resolutions many of us fail to stick to after January 1st. For 2011 Im so determined to get so much accomplished, including sticking to my own resolutions! All it takes is discipline and patience, as does a lot of things in this world.
Here are my 8 New Year Resolutions for 2011:

1. Natural Hair!! I have never had anything chemically done to my hair(perms, relaxers, color, nothing) but I DO straighten my hair with a flat iron and blow dry it like everyday. Although I love my natural curls I along with everyone who knows me has grown accustomed to me with straight hair, and Im not afraid to admit not having my hair straigtened FREAKS ME OUT!! But 2011 is a new year and i need a new hairstyle! So curls it is!!
2. Facebook only THREE times a week!! I am guilty of falling asleep being on facebook and waking up to turning my alarm off and opening my browser only to see whats happened in the cyber world while ive been asleep! Not only is it a distraction, but I really have better things to do with my time anyway.
3. Stop biting my nails!! I have always bitten my nails, and yes theres been times Ive stopped, for a week or so, but this time I really have to stop! Not only because I want healthy looking nails but because of GERMS too! ew!
4. GO TO EVERY CLASS!! This semester I have 8 classes(18 credit hours) and cant stay in my dorm when life pisses me off, in the long run its only hurting me, and flushing money down the drain, money that I already dont have! So bedtime by 11 and no going home for a week if classes arent cancelled! And STUDY!!
5. Save money!!!!!!!!!! I know that I need to save, but heres the thing, Im a fashion major, so its only appropriate that I love buying shoes/clothes/things that look 'super cute' that I REALLY DONT NEED!! And living on your own isnt cheap especially in bigger cities! So once I get a job (because I will have a job this semester!) I will save 75% of every check! The rest can be used for the things I DO NEED at that time, instead of having to call my mommy.
6. Stop Cursing!! I curse like a sailor, and Im not ashamed to admit it. I cant tell you why, but I know I should learn to use better words and save the bad ones for when I really need to vent, thats fair enough.
7. Church on a regular basis!! Im not the biggest christian in the world, nor am I a Jesus Freak(no offense to those who are), but I do know that reading my bible and going to church reminds me to treat others how Id want to be treated and I wont forget to mention keeps my temper to a minimum, and I know I will need that this semester since its only inevitable Ill be stressed due to my 18 credit hours.
8. Rec at least THREE times a week!! I already know Ive gained hella weight since ive been at school and get a reminder everytime I go to put clothes on and cant fit them. So, this semester I need ti get my diet in check and make sure im at the rec center at least three times a week, even if it is by myself, though it would be nice to have a workout buddy (:
