Happy 2018!

Happy New Year everyone! I took a brief break from blogging for Christmas and New Years so that I could spend time with my family and friends and plan out some goals for Pretty as a Peony for 2018. I am not going to open with the phrase "new year, new me", but I wanted to share with you all some of my personal goals for 2018 as well as some blog goals!

I don't typically do New Years resolutions, however I do set goals for myself that I try to keep throughout the year. Sometimes I am really great at accomplishing them and other times, like most people I forget.




MY GOALS

- Workout Better
I actually workout a lot, however I would like to 'workout better'. So what does this mean? Instead of my typical run or 30/hr on the elliptical, I would like to set fitness goals. To me this would be increasing my stamina and really pushing myself. I also want to gain more muscle and push myself with weights.

 -Be More Positive
One of my best friends made a comment that I absolutely loved. She said 'holding onto anger is just too much work.' I loved this because I think about all the times I was frustrated about a grade or a silly disagreement and how much work it was. Why put all that energy into negativity when it could be spent constructively or helping someone.

-Make More Time
 A lot of times, especially during the semester, I forget to make time for the things I love. I want to make time to read more books and to paint more.

-More Outfit Posts
My big blog goals are more outfit posts and more posts on Instagram! I have so much fun taking them and want to set aside more time to share with you all!

I hope you all enjoyed this and I would love to hear some of your 2018 goals! Let me know in the comments or email me with any questions!
