November Goals

November already? Where have the days gone? I cannot believe how fast October went. I really need to live every moment and enjoy the days.... 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Month's Wishes
1.  DON'T TOUCH THE CREDIT CARD! I'm going to try this one again this month. Not touch my credit card. If I want to buy anything - it will be in cash. I don't want to live a life paying off my credit card. I just want to be able to buy what I can, without any worries. I think this is fair goal.
2. Research. Applications for grad school, and second entry programs will soon open up. I need to sit down, get my life together, and figure out where I am applying, and for what program. Lately, I've been thinking about leaving home this time around, a different city? a different province? maybe even a different country? I'm thinking about expanding.
3. Health and Fitness. This month I am going to continue to watch what I eat! and this month, I want to put more of an emphasis on exercising - whether it would be walking more or hitting the gym. 
4. Be more productive with school work.  For the first 2 months of November, I literally have no tests to study for, or papers that are due. However, with that being said, on the third week of November, I am hit with 2 papers due on the same day, and a test on the next. So, the plan is to be productive and START (and even finish) the 2 papers ahead of time, so I have time for more editing and more studying.  
5. Blog consistently. This month, I would like to blog at least 3 times a week. I think this is the best to consistently keep up with my blog, and school work at the same time. Blogging consistently also involves planning - whether that would be writing a list of what I want to blog about, and on what days, or literally write my posts ahead of time. 
6. BE happy!  This is my birthday month... I am soon turning 21. I am both excited and scared. This month, not only do I want to live in the moment of everyday, but I want this month to be fully of happy memories. So, that means being happy everything, through my positive thoughts. So let the happy month begin!  
What are your goals for November?

October Goals!

October Goals!

Hello, friends! Hello, October! Hello, fall! Hello, new friends! Hello, to everyone! Can't you tell I'm in a good mood? Well, I am! Okay, I think I really need to stop with the exclamation marks... but, any who, what better way to start off the month with some positivity? I mean, positive thinking leads to a positive life right?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Month's Wishes
1.  DON'T TOUCH THE CREDIT CARD! This is going to be a HUGE challenge. But, if I want to plan big for my 21st birthday next month, I need to save and not spend. I mean, I will touch the card to pay for gas... but, I think I'll stick to my debit instead of the credit card. Wish me luck!
2. Research. Applications for grad school, and second entry programs will soon open up. I need to sit down, get my life together, and figure out not only a plan, what schools I will be applying to. 
3. Fitness. Zumba on Mondays is a definite motivator for me! I mean, how fun is that?! Also, this month because I do have to balance school, work, and blogging (yes, this is important!), I decided to balance out my work outs. Practically speaking, 3 days at the gym and doing walk/run around the neighbourhood. And, because I work like a 6 minute drive from home, I will walk to work at least once a week! 
4. Get ahead in school work.  I think this should be a daily goal, and not just a monthly goal. I need to keep up with my school work, and ideally, just stay ahead if I can. It will make my life that much easier when tests are approaching, and I don't have to end up staying up the night before. 
5. Blog consistently. In the past, I've made goal of blogging daily. I won't lie, this is actually hard, and just stresses me out if I miss a day. This month, I'm going to try a different strategy, blogging at least 3 times a week! Hopefully, this will help improve my blog content while giving me more time to edit and take better photos! 
What are your goals for October?

September Goals

September Goals

background image via

Tomorrow is September... already?! I cannot believe that summer is already over and I start school next week. It is bitter sweet.. summer is ending and I won't be able to sleep in until the late hours. But, summer is ending... I can get my butt off the couch and start exercising to lose all the pounds I gained throughout the summer.. fun times.

Last Month's Wishes
1. Fitness. I did a lot of walking last month. I know it is not the hardcore working out I wanted and hoped to do, but walking is walking. According to my S Health on my phone, there were days where I walked more than 6000 steps (which is a daily goal). So, I think thats an achievement in the right direction.
2. Focusing on the Positive. This past month, I think I did a better job at looking at the positive. I was able to actually see the good in all the "bad" I've encountered. Thinking back, it made my life a little easier not to stress and not to worry so much! I am most definitely happy about that.

This Month's Wishes
1. Fitness. This month, it is time to get back into the hardcore workout routines. I have a lot of important events coming up in the near future - 21st birthday, grad photos, grad day, Cuba vacay - I want to look and feel my best. Time to get started and back into the habit. This is definitely a priority.
2. Blog-tember Challenge! This month, I've decided to participate in Bailey's 2nd annual blog-tember challenge! This will definitely be a challenge as it is literally everyday (7 days a week), and I have school starting back up in less than a week. So, I think with a bit of scheduling posts a head of times, I will be able to complete this challenge will keeping up with school!
3. Kill my last year in school! This is kind of exciting for me to be honest. I will be finishing up my 4th year of university. I cannot wait to do so, and I cannot wait to accomplish this huge milestone in my life. I want to be able to my best... and what better way to start of the school year with my 100% effort and focus. This is my last year! Time to get going! 
4. Stay in the Positive.  This is definitely going to be a repeating goal. I truly believe in the saying, "positive things happen to positive people." Staying in the positive will definitely be a challenge in certain situations, but the goal is to keep a smile on my face. Not to let anything bring me down!
Farewell summer 2015! You were most definitely amazing to me this year!

August Edition: Monthly Wishes!

August Edition: Monthly Wishes!

background image vi

This post is a few dates later than I originally intended, but nonetheless, it is still here! Being August, (already?!!?) I think it is time for my focuses to be more on me. Summer is quickly coming to an end, and I think a little focus on me will motivate me, the right way, for September adventures of school to begin! 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last Month's Wishes 1. Fitness. Nope, didn't even... let's just not talk about this one.  
2. Kill summer school. Actually, I wrote my midterm about 1-2 weeks ago, and I got an 84%! Yay me! Hopefully I'll keep this momentum and motivating going up until the exam!
3. Make the money. Yes, I've work a lot the past few weeks. However, I spent a lot as well.
4. "Fix" my Blog. BIG CHANGES ARE STILL COMING. No worries!
5. Research my future. Urg. This is what stressed me out the entire month of July. The fact that everything, and everything, was so confusing and competitive. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Month's Wishes
1. Fitness. If I do not have time to go to the gym, I want to at least be more active. That means, if I need to go to the store, and it is a fairly short distance, I'll ditch the car keys and walk. Just moving around more is better than sitting around debating whether I should hit the gym tomorrow.
2. Zen lifestyle. Recently I've come across the term Zen in a way I've never expected. I think it would be a great future blog post to talk about it. But, as a week ago, I decided to live a zen lifestyle - yes, mediation and intuition. This will be tough, since I've never done this before, but I am most certainly interested in this way of life. Maybe, it will do wonders for myself.
3. Focus on the positive. Especially with all the heat, it is easy to forget about the little things that fulfill our days. I don't want to be cranky. I don't want to judge others from a first glance. I don't care about these things anymore. I want to focus on the positive. My goal is to do think of 5 different positive things in the morning when I wake up - especially, on the Mondays!
4. Not care what others think. I have a tendency to let what others think dictate the way I live my life. That even includes what I write on this blog. This month, I will try to not focus on other's thinking. Hopefully, it will just be another positive change in my life to just focus on me!

July Edition: Monthly Wishes + Happy Canada Day!

July Edition: Monthly Wishes + Happy Canada Day!

Happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canadians! 

Because it is already a new month, I can go on and on about how the days are quickly passing, and how we are already past the half mark of the 2015th year. I could save you the troubles of reading that thought process, and just go straight into my goals for the month. I choose just to go straight into the goals. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Month's Wishes
1. Fitness. This month, I want to focus on fitness more than everything. I like my body and all, please don't get me wrong, it is just, I have certain areas -arms, stomach, chin- that I just want to get rid of. And, because it is impossible to just focus on one area, a complete fitness plan is needed - one that includes the diet portion and the workout portion. This month is a new month, and honestly, this is something I need and want to stick with. 
2. Kill summer school. This is the second half of summer school, and I will be taking Cognitive Development. Once I finish this course (in the end of August), I would have officially finish all the requirements for my Psychology major that goes towards my HBSc. It is exciting, and I cannot wait to just kill it. Wish me luck!
3. Make the money. Because I am literally only taking one course, this is the opportunity I have to make the money I need. I need the money to pay off my credit card bill, and then make the money for school essentials like books, and parking pass... oh, and not to mention tuition... It would also be nice to have money to go with friends, and for personal shopping. 
4. "Fix" my Blog. I love blogging, and I want to be more inspired to blog more.. if its not more, then at least have more bloggable posts. Not sure what that means exactly, but I think some of you understand! Also, when I say "fix", I'm thinking about moving. Not entirely sure about it yet, but it is something I've been definitely looking into. Hopefully this month, my research will help me understand the entire process.  5. Research my future. As September is quickly approaching, I am finding myself more and more worried about my future plans. Like what I will be doing after I graduate university, and beyond plans beyond that... This month, I really need to get my s**t together and figure out a plan. A plan for a career. 
It may look like I have a lot of heavy goals for the month, and I do. Hopefully, the fear of the unknown will push me towards getting everything completely. Especially the losing weight part.. I want to look amazing when I graduate in less than a year!

Am I the only one who finds it weird that in a blink of an eye, the month is already over? Like, it now June, and I'm a nervous wreck because I feel like I'm wasting my days on doing.. well nothing. This month, I'm going to make more of an effort to enjoy this summer, regardless of what the weather brings us! So, it is the first day of June; let the month begin! 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last Month's Wishes

Last month I had of goals...and to be honest, I kinda, didn't get them all accomplished. Opps. But, its a new month, and it is time to take it more seriously since it is now summer.  Here are my goals for the month!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Month's Wishes

1. Get a summer body. I have less than 2 weeks to continue to get this summer body I need for my friend's wasaga beach trip. Time to get cracking at this diet and exercise plan. 
2. Blog more. Last month, I was doing pretty well, until the last two weeks where, I kind of just disappeared. Time to plan, and prepare posts ahead of time to post!
3. Make and save money. This month is about making and saving money. Hopefully, I can continue to get a lot of shift this summer to make the money I am in need of. 
4. Have fun. I want to make sure that this summer is the best summer ever. I want to go our as much as I can, but also stay in and relax. I'll probably make a to-do summer list for the summer, and share it with you guys!  

These are my goals for June! Wish me luck!

Have a great Monday, xo

May Edition: Monthly Wishes

background image via

It is May already? I swear just yesterday it was the first day of April, and I was stressing over about starting to study for exams, and finishing all my papers that were due shortly. Now, it is May, I'm on summer vacation, and about to start my fourth year of university in summer school. I am loving the weather, and I cannot wait to get mad at the sun for darkening my skin, while I hang out int he sun without sun protection!
Any who, it is the beginning of May, and that means goal setting time. Hopefully these goals will help me accomplish what I need to complete or get done or wish to do during the month of May! 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last Month's Wishes

Well, from the looks of it, it doesn't seem that I've actually posted down my goals for last month. But, looking at the weekly wishes post from last month, it was apparent that I wanted to hit the gym 4-5 times a week. Because I was off from school, I clearly didn't do it.. oops! My other goal was to blog more regularly. I think after my exams I was more successful with that goal. And, my other goal was to plan in general; which I definitely think was successful! 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Month's Wishes

1. Get a summer body. I learnt one of my friends will be celebrating her birthday next month at Wasaga beach. This means... I need to get my summer body (or at least a nice looking tummy) in one month. This month's exercise plan will solely focused on this in addition to others like my arms and booty.
2. Blog more. Quality is better than quantity. SO, instead of the mindset of "blogging everyday", I rather have more post more meaningful posts that I genuinely enjoy writing. 
3. Make and save money. I need to start making and saving money for the 2015-2016 year school year. The goal is to make, and actually save it. I'm notorious for spending the money I make... I think this summer I'm going to have to choose wisely on what I choose to spend my money on; especially if I do not want to increase my student loans. 
4. Read a book. Last month I successful read one book. I know, not impressive. But, this month, hopefully before summer school starts, I'll be able to finish two books. 
5. Kill summer school! I shouldn't have any excuses this summer. I am only taking one course during the first two months of summer school, and a different course in the last two months of summer school. So, really, I have one subject per semester. This gives me more time to study and put more of an effort into these courses, and hopefully come out with an A in each course. 

These are my goals for the month. If you made a post sharing your goals for the month of May, leave a link below in the comments, and I would love to hop over to your blog and leave you some encouragement!

Have a great Monday, xo

Happy Monday bloggers! It is that time of the week to be linking up with Melyssa for Weekly Wishes. This is a great linkup to share weekly goal and receive some encouragement from others who also have wishes/goals for the week! Unfortunately, this is the last week of this hosted link up! However, as much as I love the idea behind this linkup, I will most likely continue on a monthly basis for the sake of my mind!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last Week's Wishes

This past week... this past week was extremely relaxing! And, when I say I've been relaxing, I really mean I've sat my butt down on the couch, or porch, or laid in bed just watching tv series on Netflix, and just reading a novel. Honestly, I really don't mind because I caught up on all of my sleep, and now I am ready to be more productive this week!  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Week's Wishes

1. Hit the gym 4-5 times this week.  It's spring; and summer is quickly approaching. Need to start getting that summer body! 
2. Blog more regularly. I'm sure this happens to a lot of bloggers - just not having the urge to blog about everything. I want to put more of an effort to do so, and in order to do that, it is time for me to go back to planning my posts ahead of time.
3. Make money. I'm obviously a full-time student with a part-time job. I recently opened up my availability, and hopefully this summer, I'll be able make and save money for the upcoming school year. (The key word is save...)
4. Read a book. I finished a book this week, took me longer than usual, but I still finished it. Time to read my next novel, something I still need to decide on! 

These are my goals/wishes for the week.  If you're participating and happened to hop onto my blog, leave your link so I can leave some encouragement as well! And, a HUGE thanks to Melissa for hosting such an amazing link-up! I've definitely made my fair share of new blogger friends through her linkup!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last Week's Wishes

Last week I must say has been really successful. With having all of my exams crammed in last week, I was able to finish them all better than I expected. Considering how much "motivation" I had to study, I think it is fair to say that I am just happy it is over.  I pretty much have 1 month until summer school starts, so this week, and the upcoming weeks, I definitely have set full of goals I am hoping to accomplish them, especially since summer is quickly approaching!  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Week's Wishes

1. Hit the gym 4-5 times this week.  It's spring; and summer is quickly approaching. Need to start getting that summer body! 
2. Run. I want to become a "runner". So, I went online and found an 8-week plan to become a runner who can run 2 miles. This is definitely a start, and that means today, I start off with 2 mins walking, 1 min running, for a total of 30 minutes!
3. Plan in general. I find that my life is a bit more organized when I have everything planned out. I feel a bit more stressed free when I know I can accomplish something within a planned time frame. 
4. Blog regularly. I've missed a lot of blogging days this month because my attention was mostly on school and studying for upcoming exams. I personally like to have my blog up to date, instead of the 1 every month or so... This week, I definitely want to start and creating draft post for the upcoming days/weeks!
5. Make money. I'm obviously a full-time student with a part-time job. I recently opened up my availability, and hopefully this summer, I'll be able make and save money for the upcoming school year. (The key word is save...)
6. Read a book. Last week, I mentioned how I went to a cute used book store and bought few books (click HERE to read that post). I started reading a book, and I haven't read a novel in a while. So, I am excited to read this book, and most importantly, finish it! 

P.S. in case you were wondering, I'm reading the "chick-lit" novel called, Then Came You written by Jennifer Weiner. Have you read it? Thoughts? 

These are my goals/wishes for the week.  If you're participating and happened to hop onto my blog, leave your link so I can leave some encouragement as well! Have a great Monday, xo

Last Week's Wishes ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HAHA, the start of the month, and I think it is safe to say that I was very unsuccessful pretty much with all of my goals due to reasons beyond my control. Maybe I'll make a post about it explaining why I was pretty much missing on every social media possible. All I can say, is that I must go harder this week!  This Week's Wishes

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Hit the gym 4-5 times this week.  If I want to see changes, I have to literally go out and make this. March is going to primary focus on getting my arms smaller in size (make the flags go away!) and get a bigger butt.. because well, I want a bigger butt ahah :) 
2. Eat smarter. If I am serious about losing a certain amount of weight, in a certain amount of time, I need to stick to this. Instead of quickly transitioning into a diet, I think I'm going to try eating smaller portions, and smaller meals more, rather than the 3 standards meals.
3. Plan in general. I find that my life is a bit more organized when I have everything planned out. I feel a bit more stressed free when I know I can accomplish something within a planned time frame. 
4. Convert Drafts to Posts. I notice I have A LOT of draft posts... some finished, some unfinished. So, I want to try to spice them up a bit to post!
5. Socialize more! I haven't been keeping up with comments on my blog, and I feel so bad! This month, I am going to make more of an effort to actually respond to the new, and even the old ones! 
6. Finish my paper ahead of time. I have another paper due this Thursday. I feel like I have a good understanding so far; I just want to make sure I finish a head of time, instead of the typical night before. I rather save the night before for just editing, and not worrying about meeting the online submission deadline. 

These are my goals/wishes for the week.  If you're participating and happened to hop onto my blog, leave your link so I can leave some encouragement as well! Have a great Monday, xo

February has come and go so quickly! I literally remember yesterday creating a goals list for the month, and now here I am revisiting that list to see if I actually accomplished anything! I mentioned blogging 4 times a week, and I can say I definitely accomplished this! Tying into one of my other goal, planning in general, I found it easier for me to keep up with my blog post, and actually writing a lot of them a head of time!  This Months Wishes

I don't I could ever express how relaxing my week off from school has been! Last week was reading week, and let me tell you I did everything BUT reading. No regrets... for now! So yea, there isn't really much for me to complain about!  This Week's Wishes

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Hit the gym 4-5 times this week. I have no excuse. I'm going to have to hit the gym this week because I pretty much didn't do anything last week... so, I definitely got to shed off all the extra pounds I accumulated!
2. Eat smarter. If I am serious about losing a certain amount of weight, in a certain amount of time, I need to stick to this. 
3. Plan in general. I find that my life is a bit more organized when I have everything planned out. I feel a bit more stressed free when I know I can accomplish something within a planned time frame. 
4. Convert Drafts to Posts. I notice I have A LOT of draft posts... some finished, some unfinished. So, I want to try to spice them up a bit to post! 
5. Study! So, I'm back at school, and I already have a test on Wednesday. Well, wish me luck! Oh yeah, and I have 2 papers due back to back next week... I really get started on that as well!

These are my goals/wishes for the week.  If you're participating and happened to hop onto my blog, leave your link so I can leave some encouragement as well! Have a great Monday, xo

Last Week's Wishes ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last week went fairly well, and really quickly! I successfully completed two of my tests, and feeling confident walking out of the exam room, and just feel positive all around. Although I was unable to hit the gym, I worked out at home which made me feel just as productive instead of just laying in bed saying I should have gone. Overall, I'm very satisfied at how well my week went!
This Week's Wishes

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Hit the gym 4-5 times this week. Although I was unable to hit the gym properly, I still did some home workouts, which was almost as productive. Although I have the week off from school, I'm going to make an effort to ensure I still get my daily workouts, even if it has to be at home again.
2. Eat smarter. I'm not one who sticks with diets... heck, I'm a girl who actually loves to eat. Instead of cutting out a huge part of my life, I think I'm going to eat smarter. Have smaller meals instead of 3 big meals, not eat past 7pm, and definitely no junk food and pop (which I've been successful with thus far!) I really want to see a change in my body, so I am willing to put the effort in! 
3. Plan in general. I find that my life is a bit more organized when I have everything planned out. I feel a bit more stressed free when I know I can accomplish something within a planned time frame. I need to get back into the habit of using an agenda to plan ahead, maybe I'll be a little bit more relaxes about everything. 
4. Blog at lest 4 times a week! Blogging isn't a huge priority for me as school has definetly have that number one spot. But, this month, I definitely want to be more engaged with other bloggers. So, this month I will make an effort to partake in the weekly linkups! At least 1 for everyday of the week, and hopefully this will help grow my blog and the blogger friendships! 
5. Convert Drafts to Posts. I notice I have A LOT of draft posts... some finished, some unfinished. I thin this week I'm going to take the time to finish and edit them and schedule them as actual posts!
6. Plan stuff with friends/family. Next week is my reading week! That means, one week off from school. Instead of just staying home and catching up/getting ahead in school work for all 7 days, I definitely want to do fun activities with friends and the family. I need to start planning!
7. RELAX! It is my week off from school, and RELAXING I MUST DO. Heck, I deserve to just lay in bed until 2pm if I want! 

These are my goals/wishes for the week.  If you're participating and happened to hop onto my blog, leave your link so I can leave some encouragement as well! Have a great Monday, xo

Last Week's Wishes ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last week was a bit hectic. I felt like I was just overwhelmed with so many things to do, and with little time, I just started to feel very anxious last week. It's hard dealing and balancing sooo much in life, especially when you have everything falling onto one week of the time. I think this week, I'm going to try my best to get everything I need to get done in a timely manner.
This Month's Wishes ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Hit the gym 4-5 times this week. Last week I was able to hit the gym for 4 days. I think this is amazing. I definitely want to start seeing results, so I'm going to put myself a little more during those times I am at the gym. I think its time for me to really start figure out which day is leg day, chest day, and so on. 
2. Study, study, study! I have a test today and a test tomorrow, then I am free for the rest of the week! I defiantly want to do well on these tests, since these are the first ones for the course and it really sets the tone for how much I really understand the material. 
3. Eat smarter. I'm not one who sticks with diets... heck, I'm a girl who actually loves to eat. Instead of cutting out a huge part of my life, I think I'm going to eat smarter.
