Fresh Start / NYE Recap

Happy New Year!

How was everyone's New Years Eve? I hope you had a blast ringing in the new year. I'm going to be honest, I've never been a big fan of New Years Eve and I'm perfectly OK with just having a nice dinner out with friends (which we did!) and then playing games and having drinks back at someone's house. Billy and I did make a little promise to ourselves that next year we would save a few of our vacation days to spend New Years Eve on a trip somewhere...anywhere...warm. Where that will be we aren't sure yet, but writing it here will {hopefully} help me not forget this little plan of ours and make it happen.

 

 {after I put this dress on I realized I wore the same exact one for NYE last year but still decided to go with it because 2013 was one heck of a year..maybe it was a lucky dress! Ya never know ;)}

I can tell you what I am a big fan of, though.

Spending the first day of the year in pajamas (and I mean the WHOLE day...anyone else do this?), putting together a new coffee table while sipping mimosas and brunching all day. THAT I can handle....

 {I spy a furry #photobomber...}

We purchased this Henry coffee table from World Market (on major sale-we actually even got it cheaper than this with a coupon, too!) and are so happy with it. We couldn't love it anymore, actually. It's really big and we love how it goes with our other decor!

We had eggs, potatoes, fruit, and cinnamon rolls then played a few games at the house together before taking our Christmas tree and all our decorations down. The house feels so plain and bare now without them!

One of my first goals for 2014 (I'm not much of a resolution person either, but I do love setting specific goals) is to juice once per day for 7 days. Today is day 1! When the 7 days is up, I plan to share all the juice recipes/combinations here in case anyone is interested. Or you can follow me on instagram because I'm posting the full recipes there as I drink them.

In 2014, there are certain things I want to work on and this picture sums up a lot of them...

 

And since I was MIA yesterday, I just want to thank you for making this year so amazing by reading and commenting and connecting with me. This blog has not only been my happy place + creative outlet for a couple years, but has opened so many new doors for me and I can only hope it continues to do so. May 2014 be the best yet! Cheers and much love to you all :)

Come back tomorrow for my new favorite outfit/a plaid vest I just recently found that you will love. Everyone needs a cute plaid vest in the fall/winter, right?

Right.

PS: Don't forget to watch TONED UP tonight on Bravo! Finally! Also, today is the start of the VS semi-annual sale! My top picks: this amazing workout jacket, these pajamas, these PINK pants.
