Happy new year & goals!

This new years post is coming at you a little late, but that's because I was thoroughly enjoying my winter holiday and couldn't bear to sit at my computer for more time than I needed to! I just got back from my NYC trip on the weekend and it was such a fabulous time—plenty of photos to come on that front! Once I got back I was off again to spend new years with my boyfriend and his family. It was a lovely way to cap off the holiday season and we enjoyed lots of good food, company and champagne :)

For the past 2 years (2011, 2012) I have been forgoing resolutions and instead documenting 3 goals I have for the year. It's become a fun tradition and I love looking back on past lists and seeing what I've managed to accomplish. And since my birthday is only 10 days after new years, it's always a perfect time to evaluate my intentions and have a good look at what I would like in the coming year. Here are my 3 goals for 2013!

1/ Bet on me.

I am sometimes guilty of not giving myself enough credit, and I think it has, at times, hindered my ability to go for what I want. But no more! Because, as this wise man said, if you don't bet on you, who will?

2/ Work smarter.

Life can get hectic with school and work, but I love what I do and I want to enjoy my work even when time is tight. Therefore I want to come up with new strategies and processes for running the blog and my studio so that I can get more done and still have time for a bubble bath and cup of tea at the end of the day!

3/ Make time for adventure.

Along with the 2nd goal, I want to carve out time in my schedule for more mini-getaways, or even just an afternoon trying out a new restaurant for lunch. Both large and small adventures feed my soul and I know that if I make time for them, it will only benefit the rest of my life!

What sort of goals do you have for 2013? I'd love to hear them!
