Happy New Year! I’m super excited about creating and sharing with you this year. In January, renewing and refreshing will be a major focus. It’s a new year and why not start off with renewing and refreshing your space and trying new recipes. In the coming month, I will be sharing my dining room refresh, a cool DIY project, showing you my new plant hutch and some healthy recipes and self-care topics.

Today, I want to share with you some gems I found around the internet. Some can help those of us who like to set New Years Resolutions and others are things that I just love. I mean these are the type of articles I am saving on Facebook and sending in messages on group chat to my best friend. Also, you will see some sneak peaks for some of my upcoming blog posts. The dining room refresh is my favorite project right now.

1. Date nights & unplugging is lifestyle goal. // Relationship Goals 
2. This one seems promising and most likely a plan that I can follow. // Organization Challenge
3. No secret but I love houseplants, but some of the more exotics I kill. Cast iron plant is on my shopping list. // House Plants
4. Obsessed with the iconic Marcel Breuer Cesca Chair. The most affordable place on the internet I found. Dining room makeover coming soon. // Home Decor
5. Now this trash can ottoman is happening this month. I already bought this velvet hunter green fabric online. I saw an AD Facebook and bought the fabric on impulse. Sometimes this can be good, but we shall see. // DIY Project
6. I finally joined those who use a desk planner, because I have always been “team no paper.” I dislike anything paper related on my work desk. But this year I’m trying new things. This Rose Gold planner from Micheals won me over. And not to mention the inserts with the flamingo’s and cactus. // Planner

Let me know if you found any good reads!
