Hey guys! I hope you guys enjoyed every single minute with family and friends on Christmas. I seriously can’t believe Christmas is over… I’m not ready to put away our tree (It might stay up passed the New Year). With only a few days left in 2017 I can’t help but to go over everything that happened in 2017, from challenges I faced, moments I loved, who I met, amazing opportunities that came my way, etc. I don’t know about you but during this time of year I like to sit down and reflect.

.

I reflect on a year full of exciting moments, the not so happy, the incredible trips I was lucky enough to go on, lifestyle changes, and being able to partner with some awesome companies.

 Here is what I learned and a few goals for the New Year (Bring it on 2018):

2017 REFLECTIONS

• Family is everything. Cherish every second you have with them.

• Patience is hard but good things come with time.

• Take some “me” time. Give yourself a personal reset once in a while.

• Letting go of “what if” – I stopped letting fear get in the way of doing what I love or brings me happiness.

• I LOVE my followers- you guys allow me to express myself through my blog and I enjoy working on content and letting you guys into my life.

• Gods timing, is the best timing

• Don’t take your health for granted. It’s the greatest gift of all.

• Girl Squad= I seriously don’t know what I would do with out my gals

• My sisters are my best friends! #feelings

• You don’t need anyone to complete you. You are enough.

• I can’t wait to take another mother-daughter trip.

2018 GOALS

• Go on a sister’s ONLY trip!

• Workout regularly

• Practice gratitude & complain less

• Enjoy the small moments

• Take a cooking class (someone is expecting a home cooked meal)

• Try out Whole30- I want to eat healthier and cut back on my sugar intake.

• Create videos! I really want to integrate beauty+ hair tutorials!

• Clean out my closet: It’s time to donate everything I don’t use or need.

• Find balance with family+ work+ life

• Read more- Any recommendation?

• Volunteer my time

• Visit a different continent

• Learn about my followers!

• Document my travels & create vlogs

• Attend church every Sunday I don’t work- I always leave Soul City feeling happy and ready to go.

I want to say THANK YOU 🙏 ! Thank you for the constant support, love, and for enjoying my content just as much as I love working on it. You guys seriously mean the world to me! I would love to hear what your goals are for 2018? Not everyone sets goals but I like to look back and the end of the year and see what I was able to check off my list.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! XO, B!
