It's officially the New Year, and time to update my goals for 2021. Due to the current circumstances, I honestly didn't feel like doing some of the stuff, and/or I wasn't able to.

How did you do with your goals for this year?

 21 things that I want to Start, Stop, and Splurge On


1. Read More- Towards the middle of last year, I found an app that I loved. It really has kept me on task with my reading goals. However, it's still very important for me to read and implement what I've learned. 2. Date Myself- I started off the year strong last year by dating myself. I have to get back on track with this. My goal is to take myself on a date as often as possible. 3. Stop buying just to buy! - Though I still struggle with this. I'm getting better with buying just to buy, especially in the food department. There's no need for me to stock up as much as I do especially when I'm at the grocery store at least once a week. 4. Treat me- I still struggle at a time when it comes to buying myself stuff. I have to work on this. However, I'm looking forward to treating myself. 5. DSLR- (Learn how to shoot in manual mode) - Towards the end of last year I purchased a new iPhone. Trust me, my old phone was three or four years old, and the battery life was horrible. With that being said. I reach for my phone now which is to be expected. However, it still can not produce the product of a DSLR camera. I still have so much to learn when it comes to my camera. 6. Nails Done- To be honest, I really just need more non-toxic nail polish in my life. I did great with keeping my nails done last year though. 7. Quality- I have my eye on a couple of pieces. Looking forward to making the investment. 8. Planner- I have to get better at using both of my planners daily. 9. Hobby- I would love to still enroll in a class at Michael's or any other craft store. 11. Travel often - I actually did a good amount of traveling last year, and I'm super proud of myself. I love to travel, and I'm looking forward to traveling often. 12. YouTube- I just have to do better. I have videos recorded. I just have to do better with editing and posting them, and keeping my schedule. 13. Language- Learn basic phrases. (brownie points, if I learn a new language.) 14. Silhouette machine - I haven't used my machine in over a year. Looking forward to using it again. I honestly really do love it. 15. Drink more water - I did okay with my daily water goals. However, there is always room for improvement. 16. Self-Care Day - I just have to incorporate more self-care days. 17. Makeup- I've been doing great with my everyday no-makeup makeup look. I have to throw in a couple of full-face looks here and there. 18. Get Dressed Up - I've actually been doing great with this. Looking forward to dressing up more. 19. Minimalist- I still would love to keep a minimalist mindset in all areas of my life. 20. Do More - This year I just have to incorporate doing more of whatever I like. 21. Garden - Last year I didn't anticipate starting my garden. 2021 one of my goals is to spend a lot of time in my garden.

My weekend was really low key. I spent most of my weekend planning and strategizing… For some strange reason, I did not get mimi’s Easter Basket together until the day of Easter. I have no idea what was going on with me. I was really struggling with what to put in his basket at the age of eleven, and at what age would I stop creating Easter baskets for him. Earlier in the week, I wanted to stop at my local Dollar Tree to pick up a couple of items however time got the best of me during the week. I woke up Easter morning in hopes that I would be able to run to Target to pick up a couple of items. (Yes, I’m one of those people that run to Target for everything) To my surprise Target was closed. Instead I ran to Dollar Tree. In the future plan on creating a bin with knick-knacks of things that I can put in an Easter basket for him.


Also, this year I decided not to host Easter Dinner at my home, I usually try to host an Easter egg hunt for the kids. Which they seem to really enjoy, however for several reasons, I opted not to.

 
However, I did bake homemade vanilla cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. They were amazing!!! I’ve used this recipe several times now and hands down it is my absolute favorite. I ran out of all-purpose follow and had to substitute ¾ cup with self-rising flour. (I think I’m actually going to continue with this method) The cupcakes were moist and airy. (sigh)

Anyone who, overall my weekend was amazing J

What age did you stop receiving Easter Basket’s?

 

Thank You For Stopping By!
