TWENTY FIFTEEN GOALS.

It's already January 8th and I haven't shared my new year's goals with all of you. How can that be?! Oh well, better late then never, am I right??

I actually wasn't sure if I wanted to do this this year. Usually whenever I make goals of any kind, they just end up being ignored and forgotten. I felt like it was a waste of time, trying to get my lazy butt off the couch and out doing something. But yet, here I am, making more goals that probably will not be accomplished!!!

A NEW ACTIVITY TO TRY|| I used to be so scared to try something new, but now I'm opening up to the idea! I love making new friends and new memories. I've recently found a new love for theater, so who knows what my next obsession will be! Maybe dance lessons? Bagpipes?

A NEW BOOK TO READ||  I always tend to forget that we have these things called libraries, and that in these libraries are thousands of magnificent books that will take you to a whole new world. I keep searching for the perfect book, but so far I haven't found it! Book suggestions, anyone?!

SAY YES TO LOTS OF SOCIAL ACTIVITIES|| It's crazy how often I find myself bored. And part of the reason is because I always turn people down when they invite me to things. But I've decided to start being such a grouch, put some decent clothes on, and go out and have fun. I'm always glad when I do!

BAKE MORE|| Baking is something I really enjoy doing, and I started a cake pop business a couple years ago. It brought me a decent amount of cash, but it's kind of fading off now!! So I really want to learn some more recipes and make some fancy stuff. Partly because deserts are delicious, and partly because they make for great instagram pictures. It's a win win!

Only four goals this year; I wanted to keep it short and sweet so that I might actually have a chance at accomplishing half of them. Hopefully I can stick to it this year!

More Goals, What Else is New!

"November: the last month of autumn, but the beginning of a new adventure."

This morning was magical. Who would've thought that on the first day of November, Florida would actually be cold? Not just chilly, but cold. 

I woke up with my big fluffy comforter covering my whole body and was like "Wow, it's finally happening!" So now I'm sitting here in my Hello Kitty pajama pants and drinking hot cocoa because when it's even slightly cool in Florida, you gotta take advantage of it. 

And with that, November goals were in order! 

read for fun

go ice skating with friends

meet new people

try pumpkin pie

wake up earlier

find new hairstyles 

Sometimes I wish fall would last forever, but then I remember that winter is right around the corner and when winter comes, so does Christmas music, bright colors, and cute little presents wrapped with brown paper and pom-poms, so I suppose it's okay. 

What are your goals for a fun November? 

Inspired by candy corn...

Last night I went to a birthday party and won a whole jar of candy corn. The funny thing is though, I don't even like candy corn. Now if it was full of chocolate, I'd be a happy girl!

But! Anyway! The candy corn reminded me that it's almost halloween and that I need to start planning my costume. And planning my costume reminded me that I love fall. And the fact that I love fall reminded me that I haven't made any fall goals!! How can that be?! Let's fix this.

Try a pumpkin spice latte 

Girl's movie night sleepover

Go to Halloween Horror Night (???)

Finish my homework early every week

Make caramel apples

Evening bike rides 

Be more active with social media 

Do you guys already have your costume in mind? I'm thinking about doing something different this year and going with a unicorn. Unicorns are cool, right? No? Okay. 

peanut butter chocolate chip cookies

(aka, heaven in your mouth.)

First recipe post, woot woot! These cookies are great, you should try them out.

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
• 1/2 cup chunky or smooth peanut butter
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
• 1 egg
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375°. Cream the butter, peanut butter and sugars until light. Add the egg and mix until fluffy. Blend the flour, baking powder, soda and salt together well. Add these dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Add the chocolate chips.Drop cookie dough by teaspoonfuls onto lightly greased baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 375

I'm going to try to bake more, and I'll share the recipes with you as well. It's part of my summer to-do list to experiment more in the kitchen, so we'll see how that goes!  

may goals

Guys, it's almost summer! I have 3 more weeks of school and then I'm free. A couple of my friends have already gotten out and they're telling me all about the beach, the fun, the smoothies, and I'm quite jealous.

But the school year is almost over, so horray!

Anyway, enough chit chat. Goals are always fun, so here we go!

write more letters! 

buy some flowers 

1 journal entry every day

go to the beach 

buy a summer scent 

bake muffins 

2 hours on pinterest per day 

(Boy, that last one is going to be hard...) 

May I also add that my birthday happens to be this month? Yup, on the 15th I turn 15! Huh, I never realized that...turning 15 on the 15th...

On a side note, I have a Tumblr now. Now, before you go and judge, I must warn you that I've only had it for a few days and still don't know what the heck I'm doing. If someone could come over and show me the ropes, I'd be eternally grateful! 

Enjoy the rest of your Thursday!
