TBB Asks: New Year, New You

January 11, 2018

I love doing link ups, sharing my blog with more people and getting to find new blogs I may otherwise not have found on my own. I especially love ones that ask questions that allow me share a bit about myself! When I saw this one on The Blended Blog I thought it would be fun to share.

Resolutions or No Resolutions: No resolutions for me. I am so terrible at keeping up with things like that and after years of making & breaking them I realized I should stop. I pick a theme/word for the year and go with that in whatever form it takes but importantly I make sure that I do my best to do what makes me happy every year.

Love Snow or No Snow: Noooo snow. No thank you. BUT I will take it over -30 windchill if I must. I feel like if it is going to snow I want it to dump like a foot of snow so everything shuts down and I can just go out and play in it and relax at home.

Name a New Place you want to go this year: Hmmm there are so many. I feel like my list gets longer everyday. I am really trying to explore more of the US though so Austin is next on the list of cities to visit.

Would you rather have a new hair cut or new hair color: This one is tricky. I hate cutting my hair because I ALWAYS regret it after unless its only a trim. I love having long hair but I recently cut about 6 inches off because it was touching my butt already. But I do always feel so fresh after a new color!

Name one special thing you want to do for yourself this year: I would really like to make a travel wall. I have this idea in mind to go along with a Map gift I got for my wall. Since I really don’t like trinkets and knick knacks around the house I always buy something to hang and I want to get it all together all nice.

Least Favorite Thing about January: The cold. It gets so effing cold in Chicago in January & February it makes you hate leaving the house

Most Favorite Thing about January: Everything slows down. No more holiday rush, no more something to do every single week/weekend. Its a great time to get organized and relax!

When do you take down your Holiday decorations?  I don’t take down holiday decorations until after Three Kings Day (January 6). Usually a couple days after or that weekend depending on the day of the week it falls on.

Do you diet in January: I am on a revolving diet train at all times so January isn’t much different except that I am usually so bogged down and gross from all the junk food over the holidays & break that I am happy to eat better.

What area of your home do you want to organize most: My bedroom. I have 2 closets and one has turned into a storage for all things. That needs to be fixed.

Favorite Winter Comfort Food: Easy! I love love mashed potatoes! Shepard’s pie makes my heart so happy too.

Favorite Guilty Pleasure: Are cookies a guilty pleasure? But otherwise YA books. They get me every time. I love them and I don’t care how ridiculous they are.

If you aren’t linking up tell me some of your answers!!
