Setting Goals - 3 Amazing Goals I have set for 2015

There's so many bridal, wedding, workshops, meet-ups, wedding planner brunch/lunch functions coming up this year. I love to be very active in my business and participate and attend a lot of events. I will discuss 3 Goals I have set this year; which one includes a fun personal vacation! 

#1 Goal: 

My first goal for 2015 is to continue to participate in the weekly Twitter Chat.  I will continue and plan my calendar around these particular chats (set my phone alerts to remind me).  These chats are fun, educational, and a perfect time to communicate with other wedding professionals. I currently, participate on Wednesdays, and Sundays. I have met some awesome wedding planners and professionals via Twitter. I have even had a few support me when I host my own networking events. Participating in my swag bags, sponsoring prizes/giveaways. 

#2 Goal: 

My second goal....I have a goal to sign up for a educational program. A program that is specific to wedding planners, small business owners, ect... Education is key, and I want to continue to learn more about improving my business. I want to present the best services, products, ect to my clients. I'm currently shopping around for the best educational program to sign -up for! 

#3 Goal: 

Lastly, my 3rd Goal is to plan a vacation for the Summer 2015 during my birthday week. I love to rent out the awesome beachhouses in Tybee Island, Georgia. It's a lot of attractions, restaurants, beach activites, water sports, and more! I will begin now looking for a beach house to reserve ( it's a great idea to start early before they are Sold Out)! I will plan all the activites in advance as well. I want to stay for 7 days; relax, and have a ton of fun! I have been before in the past several times; but this time I want to try things I never have before!

Distractions - and setting boundaries

  

Distractions are always around us, especially with smart phones, tablets, iPads, ect... Balancing so much in your day to day life. It's so easy to be distracted and thrown off task.

 I know that social media, email, and apps all installed on my smart phone it's very easy for me to get distracted. I have lots of notifications going off all the time. 

I certainly get distracted by my phone, and I have already started to make changes. I'm taking small steps, in efforts to cut down on the distractions coming from my phone!

Here are some steps I'm putting into place to create bounderies! 

#1) Have set times "daily" that I check and respond to emails. Only between those hours I will read, and reply. I will make exceptions, if needed. 

#2) I also, have a set time that I will check my phone App notifications. 

#3) I will look at my Apps on my smart phone device and decide what notifications I can consider turning off. 

#4) I want to put into place certain times when I "un-plug" and put the phone in a silence mode or Do Not Disturb ( or just turn the phone completely off). 

#5) I want to create a special place in my home where I can leave the phone and be "un-plugged" during special times, especially during family time. 

Applying discipline and those steps above;  will propel me in the right direction. Distractions can take you away from the most important elements in your life. You can waste valuable time ( time you can't get back)!

My Most Important Action - "Health"

M.I.A. - stands for "most important action"

The next 15 days I will focus on one "most important action"; this particular action will be one of my many goals for 2015. 

My "MIA" is my HEALTH...

I recently joined a 60 day weightloss challenge, it began January 1, 2015 (ends March 1, 2015). There are several people participating and who ever loses the MOST weight wins money!

 Also, this year I have decided to incorporate Meditation and recently checked out some audio books from the library ( Beginner's Meditation).  I decided to participate in a few upcoming 5K road races, and adding more healthy food and more water into my diet. 

I would love to try a new fitness facility that's in my neighborhood. They offer some awesome workout classes, boot camps, ect.. I wouldn't mind taking classes I never tried before.... I have always wanted to try YOGA! 

I want to add more green smoothies into my diet. I use to drink alot of the green goodness before in the past (aka green smoothies). Green smoothies are filled with fresh fruits, veggies, and lots of nutrients. Don't worry you will get use to the taste (don't let the color scare you)! 

Adding more lemons into my diet, especially my water. Lemons have so many awesome benefits. Lemons are a alkaline fruit! Adding lemons to the water makes it alkaline water! Warm water with lemon is a great liver detox! 

On a daily basis I have decided to recently start incorporating JUMP ROPE into my daily routine! It instantly reminds of when I was a child (I Adored jumping rope growing up). The benefits are phenomenal and it's excellent for your heart! 

I have serveral other MIAs however, I know that your health, diet, and wellness is very important, and key to your overall well being. Taking care of yourself, getting plenty of sleep/rest, taking vitamins, scheduling annual doctor appointments all tie into health.

I hope you enjoyed learning about my MIA! I would love to hear about yours! 

Have a Sweet Day,

Imagine celebrating the New Year in this beautiful sequin dress, covered in gold, it's very gorgeous and perfect for a night out of celebration.  Imagine arriving to a party, and dancing the night away in this dress. I love how it's paired with a clutch purse, and bracelet.

New Years Eve parties are about the eye candy ( the pretty decorations) and you can WOW your guests with unique decor! When hosting a New Years Eve themed party you want to create a fun, festive atomosphere! Here's a awesome idea to implement if you love to do DIY projects! I love the GOLD!

I was inspired by this beautiful bridal bouquet perfect for a blushing bride as she exchanges vows on New Years Eve! The colors are so soft and beautiful, and the bottom is wrapped so lovely in gold sequin. Lots of sparkle, and shine, and any Bride will dazzle as she carries this bouquet throughout the wedding day!

Here's a sassy, short sequin, and pretty "Cut the Cake" dress, perfect for the curvy bride. The golds, blacks, and shimmer make the dress shine. Also, this dress is great "after the wedding" as the bride exits the reception on New Years Eve night!

Make the grand entrance into the wedding ceremony FUN! Here's a great way to bring out the theme of the New Year by adding shining stars into the aisle.   When the wedding guests enter the wedding ceremony they will love to see all the pretty stars in the aisle.  This will be a fun conversation piece as well for the guests, and will make ROCKIN wedding photography.
