.keep going.

We are at the end of the month.

How are your new year's resolutions holding up?

I personally did not have any specific resolutions for the new year, but I did want to go back to working out consistently. I have noticed a lot of memes on instagram and twitter making fun of people who have already given up on their goals for the new year. I think these memes are really sad because I feel that they only do more harm by further discouraging those who have been struggling to commit to their goals in the first place.

I also believe that social media makes it easy to compare ourselves to those that are doing better and this makes us forget that we need to solely focus on being better than yesterday. Who is to say those "successful" people you are comparing yourself to haven't had any setbacks? You can get to where you want to be as long as you keep going. Who cares if it's been 2 days, a week, or even years! You guys have no idea how many breaks I have taken from blogging. Every slump was definitely discouraging, but I always came back with so much excitement and determination. What are your tips for staying on track with your goals?

Speaking of set backs, I took these pictures 2 weeks ago when I went to San Diego and I am barely posting! It is also strange looking back at these pictures where I am wearing a sweater, scarf and boots when the weather is currently much warmer. I will admit that I threw this scarf over my shoulders this way because I don't know how to style oversized/blanket scarves. I really loved this simple and cozy outfit, except that my sweater folded in at the bottom and I did not realize it until now. My husband photographer takes his job very seriously and is usually too focused on getting a quality photo to point out flaws like messy hair, untucked blouses, etc... His commitment is on point. 

I hope you've all had a lovely month of January! Thank you for stopping by!

Much Love,
