#WinTheDay with Clearasil


Well, my resolutions have gotten off to a rough start, because the new year brought me a nice little gift...the flu.  Needless to say, there hasn't been much exercise and I haven't had the energy to put blog posts together or organize.  But today I woke up feeling much better and I was so excited to try out some awesome new products that Clearasil sent me!  I've always had problems with my skin, so for me there is no better way to start my day than using a refreshing face wash that helps clear up my skin's imperfections.  A clear complexion gives me the added confidence I need to #WinTheDay and today it helped give me the motivation to get outside, enjoy the sunshine and finally take some outfit pictures (coming tomorrow!)

Since I'm sure all of you readers also want to #WinTheDay, I have a little secret to share with you! Ok, it's not a secret...but it's an exciting deal!  Visit http://www.clearasil.us/promotions/offers and print out the mail-in rebate, which will let you try a new Clearasil Superfruit cleanser product for FREE!  I don't know about you, but I like free things...especially when they smell yummy and make me look better.  So what are you waiting for? Go get some!

My goals for the new year.


I know a lot of people think New Year Resolutions are silly, because you can make life changes and set personal goals at any time.  However, I think they give me a little extra push to better myself throughout the upcoming year. 

Looking over my resolutions for 2013, there are a couple things I accomplished.  One of those was to travel more.  With a trip to Aruba, as well as a trip to Switzerland, I think I can check that one off the list.  Of course, I would've loved to take even more vacations, but unfortunately that requires lots of money!  I'm definitely looking forward to more great trips in 2014!  Being a better mom is something I tried to improve on all year and even though I'm not winning any "Mom of the Year" awards, I think I've made some progress.  This is something I will always be working on, because being a mother is the most important job I have!

Now for my 2014 resolutions...

1. Blog more.  I really haven't been able to post as often as I'd like to lately and I know that is something I need to work on.  I have so many things to write about and there are so many ideas constantly floating around in my head that never get written down. 

2. Blog less.  I know this sounds contradictory to #1, but here's the thing...I spend too much time obsessing over certain things like editing, social media, and taking way too many pictures of everything.  I love blogging about my experiences, but I need to be better with managing my time and limit how much I'm neglecting my family and other responsibilities.

3. Exercise.  This is probably a resolution that 90% of Americans have on their list, because it's an important one! I'm so out of shape and I really need to work on being healthy.  My goal isn't to lose weight, because I'm comfortable with where I'm at now, but I want to work on toning my body and not being so soft/squishy.

4. Organization.  This was on my list last year, but it didn't go so well.  I'm so bad at keeping things in order and managing my time.  It's time to finally get organized and I hope this is the year I can make it happen! 

What are your goals for the new year?  Are you pro-resolution or anti-resolution?

Kisses at midnight. (Can't believe they both stayed up!)
