My Year In Review

Hey fabulous readers!  

I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season- I know I am!  I'll admit it has been tough trying to decide what to write about next.  However, while reflecting on this past year the other day I remembered my {Beauty Resolutions} I put together at the end of 2011. Here is a reminder of the goals I set.  

The goals I set for 2012 are:

1. Remove makeup every evening before bed.  I have a bad habit of going to bed with my makeup on.  This is a huge cause of the early morning blemishes we all hate so much!  This is something that needs to become apart of my nighttime routine, but until then it is apart of my 30 day challenge.

2. Use my Clarisonic at least once a day when washing my face.  Click HERE to read about the benefits of the Clarisonic.

3. Hit the gym a minimum of twice a week.  Since I am graduating in May I have made a promise to myself that I will leave College in the same shape I was in when I entered 3 years ago.  I know I will most likely go more then twice a week but I do not want to set a goal I will not stick with.  

4. Remove my makeup before heading to the gym.  Working out with your makeup on is terrible for your face.  It makes it hard for your pours to breath and this is another cause of blemishes.  Remember to wash your face after your workout as well.  A clean face is a happy face before, during and after your workout! :) 

5. Cut down on the junk food.  I'm your typical junk food junkie and I would rather eat a bag of candy then an apple.  Its time too break down and put the apple before the candy!

Let me be honest.... these were not achieved- but I did try!  I did manage to remove my makeup before bed, and use my Clarisonic at least once a day for the first month.  However, hitting the gym twice a week, removing my makeup before working out and cutting down on junk food never really happened for more than a few weeks here and a few weeks there.  How did you do on your 2012 resolutions?  

I am awesome at setting goals.  However, I am horrible at achieving them for the most part.  Once again I am going to set a few small goals and try to achieve them as we move into the new year.  

Additionally, I have a few small ideas for my blog for the new year.  I have thought about a few daily vlogs and a few other posts that might be fun.  Would you be interested in seeing a daily vlog every now and again?  

I hope you had an amazing Christmas to those who celebrate.  I am looking forward to kicking off the new year with you here in a few days.  Until then, enjoy the last few days of 2012!

In the news: Is Target cutting their employees time from family?

Hey everyone! 

Yesterday as I am skimming the Yahoo headlines I found an article on Target.  

Target is planning on opening their doors at 9:00 p.m. on Thanksgiving.  To the crazy Black Friday shoppers this is a miracle.  However, to the employees who will have to be pulled away from their family it is more of a nightmare.  

I understand the thoughts behind opening earlier.  However, if I were the CEO of Target I would be making sure that my employees were compensated in some way for coming in early.  Maybe their families get a sneak peak of the discounts, maybe they are given a paid vacation day even if they are not full time, or maybe from 9:00 p.m- 12:00 a.m. on Friday morning those employees are paid time and a half.  I don't make the rules by any means but I do wish that the employees are compensated in one way or another.  

What is your opinion on the situation?  Do you think employees have the right to be upset about opening that late on Friday?  Do you think Target should compensate them for working a National Holiday?  

Let me know if the comments below about your thoughts on this situation.  I would love to hear your oppinions and your feedback.  In case you are in need of the link to the article please click TARGET!.

Making a come back...

Hello to my lovely readers that are still out there.  

Where has time gone?  The last thing I know it was May and I just graduated from college, moved home and started a new job.  Of course the new chapter of my life came with new friends, a boyfriend and adult responsibilities.  

So my excuse for not blogging?  I really don't have one other than I have just not found the time to do so.  I will admit I miss writing to you a few times a week about random things in my life, my thoughts, or the new fashions that are out.  

Recently I have had a lot of time on my hands with not much to do.  So I have decided to make some type of come back and try to win you over again with my blogs.  I know that this will take time of course and it will take some effort and hard work on my end but I am willing to give it a go.  

Please stick with me as I take time to put together a blog for later on this week.  (Maybe I'll write on the new Ugg collection that is out, a holiday guide or just a random thought blog.)

I hope you are well.  Be Fierce, Be Fabulous, Be You and remember, nice girls always finish first!
