New Years Resolutions 2017

Hey beauties! I know this is semi late but I wanted to pop on here and make a blog about my New Years Resolutions for 2017! I have so much going on in my personal life lately, I just wanted to sit down and write and I thought there is no better way than to go on here and get a little personal with you all!

Before I start my resolutions I wanted to reflect a little bit about 2016 just so you all can get a little insight.2016 was a crazy year for me, as I guess it is for anyone who is growing up! I have had so many changes go on and it has BY FAR been one of the hardest years of my life. I graduated High School May of 2016 and boy I could not get out of there soon enough. High school was simple for me, when it came to the working portion of it. I’m not saying I was any honor type student but I got average grades and kept up with my school work. The social aspect for me was a little more challenging. I’m not saying I was an outcast or had no friends, but I was always the shadow of the friends that I did have. I had life long friends that I carried into high school and we all drifted apart, every now and then but we eventually found our way back together in some way, shape or form. Senior year for me, (2015-2016) really put a lot into prospective. I had some amazing friends that I went into senior year with. I defiantly learned the hard way my that year who to invest my time and trust into. I lost all of my friends that I had become close to, who I trusted and who I loved.Thinking back on it, I think the worst part about it was that there was no reason as to why the relationships ended, they just did. I felt so much pain, betrayal and low self-esteem. I felt extremely guarded and alone. But one thing I am thankful for is that it made me stronger, independent and wiser. High school was defiantly a learning experience in a lot of ways.

After high school I had planned on going to college, but the timing was off. I was weeks away from going and just had a horrible gut feeling. I didn’t want to go, I didn’t feel like talking to anyone, I wasn’t interested in studying or learning or branching out. I didn’t want to leave my room, I was in a funk. Quite possibly the worst one I have ever encountered. In the midst of all of this I met my boyfriend, Cody. Cody is actually a photographer (the guy behind the lens in all my photos). I knew of him from mutual friends and he actually messaged me and asked me if I wanted to do a photo shoot with him. Now this is before I had done any sort of blogging, I was not used to being behind the camera at all. Talk about nerves, plus he is a defiant looker, so it made matters even worse. We clicked after that and he repaired akk my broken pieces. He is my rock and has always encouraged me since the day that I have met him. He has been so much more than just a boyfriend to me and I am so grateful for him and the impact he has had on me this far. He is honestly the true definition of a gentleman.

Because I didn’t go to college I needed a job, obviously. I had previously worked at a Pizza restaurant as a hostess and a server! I loved it, it was such a great environment and I feel so lucky that I got to start my working career at this place! If you life near the Denver area,I strongly recommend checking out Mckinners Pizza, in Downtown Littleton. Amazing staff and even more amazing pizza! Anyway, during High school I had absolutly fallen in love with working in the Special needs program. I created close friendships with each student that I had the privilege of working with. I didn’t, want to stop and I knew that it was a passion of mine. I applied for many jobs that were in the realms of special education and got offered an amazing position at a nearby elementary school , doing what I love! I am so happy with where this career has taken me so far and I defiantly feel blessed to be in the position I am. I have d had many ups and downs this year with friends (obviously), emotionally, with my family. physically I am in horrible shape (diet: Coffee + Chick-fil-a) anyone else? But I am ready to make things happen this year!

All in all this year has been such a learning experience. I never thought I would be sitting here today, as the person I am. For as long as I can remember I have always wanted to inspire others through fashion and beauty and lifestyle related topics. I also have always wanted to create a blog and I can’t believe it is actually a thing and how far it has come! I cannot wait to see what 2017 has in store for me.

Now on to the resolutions!(10)

1.Be more healthy: I think this topic is on almost everyone’s resolution list. I have played soccer all my life, and still do! (I love it!) But I want and need to be more active and maintain a healthier diet. Create, limitations and boundaries for myself. I do have a gym membership and I really am hoping and wanting to put it to use this year.

2.Live and stress free life & have a stress free mindset: Anyone who knows me knows how easily I get stressed. I am a protectionist (virgo) and I am so hard on myself sometimes. No matter what it is, I get so stressed out and I NEED to work on controlling my stress and becoming more relaxed in situations that aren’t needed to obsess over. Go with the flow Morganne, go with the flow.

3.STOP COMPARING MYSELF: I think a lot of us do this, where it is so easy to get caught up in material objects and beauty items and what we have and what we don’t have. What we look like, why can’t I be like her, type of mindset and it has seriously wore me out. Ecspically with social media, it is so hard not to do. I want to work on self-love and appreciating myself more. NO ONE IS YOU, remember that! Always stay true to who you are is the best advice I have for myself and for you!

4.Be more positive and kind: I absolutely hate to admit this but I can be so darn negative sometimes. It gets the best of me and makes me think the worst out of every situations. I want to become more positive and compassionate. Although this is a simple thing to say, I really want to challenge myself and become more of a positive influence.

5.Grow on my Blog and Youtube Channel: I want to be the best I can be at anything I do so making this blog a place for creativity and a place to grow and express myself is really important to me! Anything I can do to achieve that goal, I will do and I will continue working on! (By the way I have a Youtube Channel if you didn’t know) Check me out!

6.Write & Journal more: My mom has always told me this, write down how you feel, journal it, put it out on paper and I have never listed until one day I actually started doing it. It helps so so so much to become closer to your thoughts and more in touch with how you are actually feeling.

7.Grow in my career:Find new ways to grow within my career and be more open-minded to opportunity and change. Be more of a helpful, figure.

8. Release negative energy and people from my life.

9.Do more of what makes me happy and take more time for myself: focus on you and make time for you! Pamper yourself and give yourself physical and mental breaks.

10.Drink more water!: So important

Just remember, do not let anyone tell you, that you can’t do something! Reach for the starts and don’t even give up!
