A personal goal I’ve had for years is to read more books. I absolutely love reading but I definitely don’t make it a priority. But as you can see from the pile of books in the picture above, I really need to get my act together and start reading more. Thankfully, there are a few new factors in my life that will push me towards my goal and I’ve listed then (as well as my current reading list) below.

Now that it’s February, you’ll probably find a ton of people with that love is in the air mindset. Well you won’t find that here on this blog. February is more of my month to get my sh*t together (especially with NFF) and to focus on self improvement. February is definitely not about red roses, heart-shaped chocolate boxes and romantic walks on the beach for me. But just because my dating life is non-existent for the time being, doesn’t mean I’m just going to sit at home and do nothing. I’ve been thinking about my goals for this year, and one thing I really want to work on is my confidence in being alone. So for the rest of the year, I am taking myself out on a date once a month.

So this idea was inspired by two of my best friends, Amanda and Alison, who have made it a tradition to go duckpin bowling every November for their birthday. I know as you get older, going out for drinks or for dinner becomes the norm for birthdays. But I really don’t think that has to be the case! So here are 3 ideas for super fun birthday parties for adults (which you know involves alcohol too…)

Is it almost February already? Wow, I guess that means it’s time to really get my ish together. If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know that every year I do a “No Fun February” Here is my original post for NFF and here is last year’s post. Each year I tend to shift my goals for NFF and that is why I am really excited to talk about my plans and ambition for this month’s challenge.

So how are those New Years Resolutions coming along? We’re almost through the first month of the year, and I know this is when most people start to weaver. But if you are hoping to still make some positive changes this year or focus your energy on your 2020 goals, making a vision board is fantastic idea for you. It’s been a while since I made a vision board for myself but I still have my old ones hanging around my room. I got the idea for this post by watching one of Brooke Miccio’s videos (click here to watch it) and I think this is such a great concept for starting your year out with intention and goal-getting energy. Plus, I love some arts and crafts. But even if you’re not super artsy, there is still a great option for you below to still create a vision board.

Wow it’s been a minute since I’ve posted one of these. I really took a break from posting ‘need-to-knows’ during the holidays just because I was already putting out a ton of content out. So now we’re back and normally I would do a huge recap of this time since my last ‘need-to-know’ but wow that’s like an entire month and so much happened. So to keep this comeback short, here is a short list of everything I think you need to know:

Happy 2020 everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful and safe New Years Eve. My friends and I threw a Gatsby themed house party and it was so fun! This is the third 1920s themed party I’ve thrown in my life and I now feel obligated to continue the trend until 2030. I love dressing up in 1920s flapper attire and I love it when my friends dress up with me (usually I’m on my own with the whole ‘playing dress-up’ thing). I rented this gorgeous sequin dress from Rent the Runway and brought out my old Daisy headband from my Gatsby party a few years ago. More pics and some similar dresses are below!

Maybe it’s not my weekend, but it’s gonna be my year.
I think I’ve been singing those lyrics to myself every NYE since I was 13. Honestly 2020 snuck up on me big time. I’m throwing a Gatsby themed party tomorrow with some friends and I haven’t even gotten everything I need to decorate for it. We’re entering a new decade which is very exciting because I can only imagine all of the exciting things that will happen in my life in the next 10 years, but at the same time, the thought completely overwhelms me. So rather than think super big picture about anything, I’ve decided to make a quick post about the basics of what I really need to enjoy my New Years Eve tomorrow and 3 simple steps I can do in the next few days before I make a precise list of resolutions or goals for the year.

Woah. What a year. Definitely some ups and some downs but that’s pretty typical for any year. Either way, I like to focus on the positives. Below I have listed 10 of my favorite things that happened this year. In no particular order might I add, other than maybe chronologically… But all of these events are highlights of my year.

I have such a love for the Roaring 20’s so you can probably guess my excitement for all of us to be entering a new 20’s era. I really enjoyed reading The Great Gatsby in high school and that quickly turned into a love for F. Scott Fitzgerald, his work and his love story with this wife Zelda. I’ve thrown two 1920’s themed parties already in my life and I’m about to throw a third on NYE. I’m actually not wearing this outfit but I seriously love this look. This gorgeous sequin cowl neck, high slit midi dress is a rental from Rent the Runway and everything else I already owned (which is a pic win for me). Roaring 1920’s fashion is something I really admire and I hope I embodied that in this outfit. If you’re attending a Gatsby NYE party this week, you’ve stumbled upon a great post. If you scroll down, you’ll find some 1920s appropriate party captions for Instagram and some more pictures of me looking like a true flapper girl (so basically, in my happiest state).
