New Years Resolutions

I have been so M.I.A the past... what? 6 months? Year? I'm pretty sure if I was an actual missing person I would be assumed to be dead by now.

Are we past the point of apologies? Because I think we are. If I did it again you probably wouldn't even take me seriously, so I'm not going to!

If you haven't already noticed there have been quite a few big changes to the layout of this blog! As for the core, important things, they are the same, I just figured it was time for a new look! I have grown up quite a bit since I created this blog, and not only this, but the content and goals have been slightly altered since the beginning as well, so along with that I reformatted and am going to try to turn over a new leaf :)

In my College Transfer Success class this past semester, I learned something very important. Goals need to be specific, they need to be time bound, and they need to be feasible.

My first goal for the new year is to improve upon this blog so that I can be like the YouTube stars who don't work and spend their life on their websites.

But does that meet any of the above criteria?

No.

My first goal is to create one well written post per week, so that by mid year I can have 20 subscribers.

Does that meet the criteria?

Yes!

My New Years Resolutions are...

My first goal is to exercise 1-2 times per week, not necessarily yo lose weight, but to gain muscle and become more fit
To drink 1-2 cups of water per day, and drink one soft drink or less per week
To finish assignments when they are assigned (therefore not procrastinate) so that I may be overall less stressed
To take one day per week to work on college and scholarships
To read my Bible or Devotional and pray daily, as well as work harder at paying attention and being more involved with my church
And finally, to create one well written post per week, so that by mid year I can have 20 subscribers.

I hope you all had a wonderful New Years, and I hope that whatever Resolutions you have made for yourself you can stick to them! :)

Fragrant Jewels: Shipment One

So I decided to try a new Subscription Box... Remember when that was all I did?? I'm sure most of you have heard of the company Fragrant Jewels. They create candles, bath bombs, and other fun products, all with rings hidden inside! The first box I received was a present for a friend, and I liked hers so much I decided to try it out as well! I really wanted a candle though, and sadly this box didn't contain one. But regardless, this is the Sweet Retreat collection. The scent is described as "Cool Marine Breeze, Fresh Lavender, and Soothing Chamomile." It is a bit to floral and fragrant to be especially soothing, but it is very nice and bright for spring. The first item in the box were mini bath bombs. I actually prefer this size of bath bombs to the big ones! I was, however, afraid that since they were mini that this product wouldn't come with a ring, which kind of defeats the purpose of Fragrant "Jewels" doesn't it? But no worries

Nadine West: Fourth Shipment

So this wasn't the most successful shipment ever, but I still got one nice piece out of it! And they left me a sweet surprise which I'll tell you about at the end, so I wasn't upset at all! This is actually two items from my shipment! This outfit contains both the shirt and leggings from this month, and they kind of go together! Though I really liked the pattern of the leggings, they are much more like tights. They were totally see through, which made me pretty sad. If they were marketed as tights then I wouldn't be too disappointed, but these were called Leggings. They retailed for $14.49, and I didn't keep them. The shirt fit very well and was extremely comfy. I have been looking for a shirt this color, so I was pretty excited to see it in my bag, even though it is pretty basic. This shirt also retailed for $14.49, and I did elect to keep it! These are the "Beauty Within" earrings, and I'm actually pretty sure I received

Dorm Life VoxBox

I got another VoxBox from Influenster! This is a company that sends complementary products to a group of people in exchange for reviews and posts about them. So this is sponsored in a way, but all opinions are 100% true and my own! If you want to see allllll of my sponsored posts then check out my Instagram , because they are coming! I am @bethanyallen15. This is called the #DormLife VoxBox and it is themed around all the different kinds of things a college girl might want or need! Look at all of the stuff in this box! It is packed to the brim, and with a large variety of things, so let's get into it. This is the Not Your Mother's Naturals Tapioca and Rice Dry Shampoo. I loooove dry shampoo and use it on the daily, but personally, I am very loyal to Batiste brand. I have tried a couple others and not really been impressed, but Not Your Mother's is usually a very nice brand, so I was super excited to give this a shot. This retails for about $9.
