July is here, and I've been thinking about my goals for the month. I'm very goal oriented and like to challenge myself by setting goals. I thought it would be fun to post about them, and check back in at the end of the month. This blog is officially one year old, and it's been amazing. I'm so happy to have my own corner of the internet to talk about what i'm passionate about.


Blogwise, I have alot of goals. I want to really focus on this blog and my content. I want to stop with the constant product reviews and incorporate a little more of myself. I want to find new ways to talk about makeup without just offering a product review. This blog will remain beauty focused, but I want to add in lifestyle. Yes, I love makeup but I'm also a wife and mom. I also want to focus on my writing and try to improve.  In addition to my content goals, I want to find new ways to market my blog and bring in more traffic. Pinterest has been a great help.

My Mom's funeral service is this month, and I have alot of emotions going in. I'm afraid of how I will feel that day, and how I will react. I set a goal to allow myself the time to grieve and not be hard on myself. I will focus on what needs to be done for the day, and allow others to help me. I also need to write a eulogy, and I really hope I can deliver it on that day but if I really can't...I'm not. Throughout the loss of my Mom, I've found strength I really didn't know I had. I want to be prepared with a Eulogy and hope I can deliver it. I will have a post this month talking about grief; a real- raw post about losing a parent.



Organization is a must for me. When I don't have a plan, I get really anxious. I've come to learn that I thrive with organization. This month, I want to keep up with my Digital Planning and my Meal Planning. I'm not a person who loves to cook but having a weekly meal plan takes some of the stress away. I will be away for two weeks at the end of July and that will be wonderful. No work, we'll be going to our hometown and hopefully relaxing. My Mom's service is scheduled that first week we're away.

Personal goals would be reading, looking into podcasts and finding more various content to watch/listen to. I watch alot of beauty channels, but there's so much more out there. I'd like to look into self-improvement, personal growth and more lifestyle videos. Possibly some good blogging channels about growth. Books, I need to start reading again. I haven't been too excited about any books lately, and that has brought my motivation down.

These are my goals for the month. I've been feeling inspired by my blog and really want to focus on it. It's a great creative outlet for me and this blog is still so young. I hope you stay with me and see improvements on here.
