August 2022 Goals

Can you believe it is August already? It seems summer has flown by and before long we will be putting out the pumpkins and fall decor galore! 

Every month I sit down and plan out what I would like to accomplish for the month. I try to break down my goals into categories with one or two specific categorical goals. Without further ado, here are my August goals. 


Social

As adults we all lead busy lives and sometimes we have to actually plan social events. My August goal is to do at least one thing in person with a friend. This can be meeting up for lunch, going to an event, etc. 

Mental

As a reminder to slow down and limit screen time, I want to read two physical books this month. I currently have Elin Hilderbrand's, Winter in Paradise, on my list to read and will likely read the sequel. 

Financial

I have made two goals in this category. The first goal is to put an extra $1,000 toward my vehicle loan. I am so close to paying this one off and it will be the first time in my life I have owned a paid off vehicle. 
The second goal is to eat 4 out of 7 meals each week out of my freezer stash. Eating out of the freezer will help to prevent food waste and trim the grocery bill which has gotten really out of hand. 

Health

I plan to exercise 20 / 31 days this month for at least 30 minutes per session. As a secondary goal, I need to follow a stricter diet and lose 3 pounds. My current starting weight is 140.6 lbs. 

Work

The work category has two goals as well. I need to increase my knowledge of search engine optimization and implement it on the website. I also need to edit the Pinterest boards to be more niche focused. 

Home

There is only one goal in this category which I imagine will be time consuming. I need to clean up the summer vegetable garden to get ready for fall planting. The August heat is going to limit this work to the late evening hours so it will take several days to get this accomplished. 

What are your goals for August? I would love to hear them!

Friday Favorites - August 8

  Happy Friday Friends! I've done absolutely terrible at life photos lately, but I'd thought I'd share a few things I'm loving in my life right now.  #1 Baccarat Rogue Room Spray I bought this room spray for my office and it's a pretty dead ringer for this high end luxury perfume. It makes my glum office feel a little more luxe. Two sprays is all it takes and it smells good for hours. They also have a candle. I got it awhile back and they've since had to remove the word Baccarat, but this is the same product just new packaging.  #2 Spotify Playlist Also office related, but this is also a favorite in home playlist of mine. The Spanish Guitar Instrumentals is just great background music. No words, but relaxing guitar. Makes me feel like I'm a fancy resort on the shores of the Caribbean. I also put my air pods in at the office and play this. It drowns out some of the noise from the fab shop.  #3 Caroline Girvan's App (CGX) I've done two rounds of Carol...

Friday Favorites - September 12

Happy Friday Friends! It has been awhile since I've updated, but I have a few things to share.  #1 Fishing in Canada      We had a whirlwind adventure to Minnesota then to Canada! We were invited by friends living in Minnesota to join their fishing trip to Savant Lake in Ontario. We flew into MSP, spent a few days hanging out at our friend's ranch in Buffalo, MN, then we caravanned up to Savant Lake. We stayed at Cliff & Roma's Wilderness Camp. Most people go in via float plane, but we had 12 peoples so we opted to take the trail in. It's about 5 miles to get back to the camp and lake. We had two four wheelers, a CanAm and a trailer. It took about 90 minutes to get all the way back to the camp, but once we got there it was a view! The cabins are all set right on the shores of Savant Lake and the camp is ran by the best people. We fished for walleye and pike and ate our fill! We even brought some HEB tortillas to make fish tacos. Warmed those right up on the wood ...

Friday Favorites - July 25

Happy Friday Friends! I'm so looking forward to the weekend; I have some shopping plans and we're hosting some of my husband's college friends for the weekend. We have some yummy drinks and foods planned for the weekend.  #1 Birthdays & Spa Days We celebrated my friend's 40th birthday! We had a party for her to celebrate on Sunday then Monday we went to the Lake Austin Spa. Voted by Conde Nast as the #1 spa destination in the US. It didn't disappoint! We had massages and facials and spent time lounging by the pool.  #2 Desserts Some of y'all know I have a more professional blog. I added a new recipe over there for The Best Vanilla Whoopie Pies with Buttercream Filling ! So yummy! We've been eating on these throughout the week, but they are HUGE so we generally split one.  #3 A New Minimalist Purse I've been having such should pain and finally gave in that it was in fact my heavy, very large purse I'd been carrying. I ordered this cross body with...
