Hi Readers,
I hope everyone enjoyed themselves over the Holiday Season; It was extremely busy but lots of fun. There was a great abundance of food, gifts, and laughter shared amongst family & friends.
I have a lot to be grateful for from this previous year; including Stella Luna (my miniature dachshund) sleeping on my lap 🙂 !
A Few Highlights from 2017:
1. I went to Paris last Summer with my family. I have been before, but there is always something new to explore. For example, we ate at the new, trendy restaurant Frenchie. At the Louvre, we explored the fabulous Dior exhibition. We took the train to Reims, France, where we had a tour at Maison Veuve Clicquot. I could go on… but I won’t. This is just a family trip I will treasure forever.
2. Given that I reside in South Florida, my boyfriend & I (Stella, too!) had to flee the state during Hurricane Irma. This was both a chaotic and treasured trip of 2017 as well. At this point in our relationship, he had to see all sides of me; the good and the bad. I do not deal well with stress, and this was a very stressful time for us both. We had to drive, what should take eight hours, 13 hours straight because there was no place to stay. I found Buckhead, Atlanta, Georgia to have both beautiful and friendly dog parks and fabulous dining/shopping.
Our Airbnb was not the best (Roach problem), so we moved to a hotel after the fourth night. He still loved me after this; that says a lot.
3. I graduated in May, 2017.
My resolutions for the year of 2018 :
1. Start my Career in Real Estate
2. Keep Blogging
3. Workout 3x a Week
4. Eat Healthier; Eating In more than going Out… This implies I must teach myself to cook. A challenge I accept…
5. Count My Blessings
January is always my dry month; I watch my spending the most! However, I will post my favorite Sale finds for you all.
There are so many to choose from…
Happy New Year Everyone!
