Goodness*! It's the last day of August; hard to believe. This month my resolutions didn't sit too well with me, and by 'sit well' I mean I barely followed them. It's as if I forgot I'd made them... funny how that happens. Onto the list!
1. I have spent many-a-time lake-side this summer, which I'm super grateful of. It's so nice to get away on weekends in good company.
3. I didn't go thrifting once.
4. Resolutions #3's outcome didn't help me save money this month... I just shopped at regular retail stores instead. (oops?)
5. I didn't just run 1km without stopping, I ran 2km. Woot. Woot.
6. I wore sunscreen on the tops of my hands once. I blame the non-sunny days.
* I've been using the term, 'Goodness' in regular everyday life. It's strange. Where does one pick up this sweet, but slightly senior-citizen-like term? I'm not sure. Someone tells me something shocking, 'Goodness!' I say. I burn the dinner, insert-the-term-here. I'm talking to a friend and they show me a new purchase, 'Goodness.. that's pretty'. I forget to do something... you know the drill. The word is really quite versatile. Try it. You might feel 70+ yrs. but maybe I'm starting a trend. Just sayin'.

I've skipped a few months and haven't been on the ball with the resolutions... maybe I should have had my New Year Resolutions include writing resolutions every month. Oh well. Regardless, August is off to a great start and I'd like to keep the momentum going. Here are my top resolutions for the last full month of summer:
1. Spend time lake-side (at a cottage).

2. Use Instagram more often.
3. Get back into thrifting (it's been soo long).
4. Save more money (does this mean I should cross off number three?).
5. Wear the clothes I've purchased that still have tags on them.
6.
7. Wear sunscreen on the tops of my hands everyday.
Did you notice the shoe switch?
Also, I bought these navy Ardene flats and within wearing them twice, sadly, the sole started coming away from the shoe. I haven't had the chance to try and return them yet and was thinking I might try and superglue them. I love the colour and they are super comf, plus, for $14, if superglue works, it could be worth it. Have you ever superglued your shoe soles?

Look kids! It's the recap of my April Resolutions (finally). I have to admit recapping on two months worth of resolutions in one month is pretty impressive. Wait until I give you my August Resolutions - it'll blow your socks off. Let's get recappin':
1. I used the Crest White Strips and loved them. They definitely whitened my teeth (so much so that people noticed - even strangers). I would highly recommend them ($32 well spent). I used the second level of the strips (whiten for 30 minutes, everyday, for 14 days) and while sometimes I missed a day, it didn't seem to matter. My teeth did not get more sensitive (I thought they would, and I have sensitive teeth) and they worked.
2. I highlighted my hair and now I'm almost back to needing it done again (which will prompt more highlighting, despite my inner debate).
3. Still haven't done this but have been driving around with it in the back of my car for over two weeks now (Sharon, please don't hate me!).
4. I have decided (after all that) to keep my car for a little bit longer. Dream car, take a back seat.
5. I made the clutch, started the skirt and completed the scarf. I also made a trapeze style top.
While taking these photos the other day I couldn't resist the sweet Canada Geese
that were quacking around. I had to seize the (Canadian 'eh) moment and snap 'em up.

In March I started to make monthly resolutions, figuring tackling a few small goals per month would be easier to handle than the entire years worth (mind you, my New Years resolutions weren't that hard to abide by...). And while I've been working on my resolutions each month, maybe one of my resolutions should have been to ensure I give a recap on here... in a timely fashion. I wouldn't say July is very timely for a March Resolutions Recap but we're going to pretend it is because that's what we do. Oh, that's not what you do? Well... read on anyways.
1. I haven't been wearing as many dangly earrings as I resolved I would, but, am rocking them at least once every two weeks (progress, people, progress).

It's that time: a new month, new resolutions. I figured why not make some resolutions each month (here's the March list), seems more feasible then creating a list for the entire year, no? The whole idea is that the resolutions have to be feasible (and sometimes enjoyable). So what's up, April? Let's do this:
1. Whiten my teeth. I bought Crest White Strips (totally been wanting to try them for a couple years but never pulled the trigger) and am on my way. We'll see what happens. They are on my teeth as I type... they feel funny. Oh, and my teeth are already feeling more sensitive (uh oh).
2. Figure out what the f I'm doing with my hair. Am I going to highlight it (the norm) super blonde or am I going to phase in the ombre look? I'm getting there with the ombre, but at this point it's just really bad roots that look greasy when they're clean.
3. Mail a special package (that's been sitting on my dresser for months) to a special friend (I'm such a procrastinator - ugh).
4. Buy a new car. Okay, this is a pretty big resolution for April but I'm serious about getting a new car and definitely want to have it in time for summer. I'm looking at one model but there are two engine types. I've test driven one and am taking the other out this Wednesday.
5. Make a clutch, a skirt and a scarf. I bought the fabric, now it's go time.
PS - no tights. I've officially ditched the tights. I did it before April too, mainly because I took a trip to Florida and never looked back (slash had a tan... so what if it was a spray tan).

I have decided to put together a mini resolution list for the month of March. I already gave my resolutions for the year, but instead of adding to that, I'm going to check off a few new ones in a month alone.
1. Rock dangly earrings more often. Husband loves these (especially big hoops) and while I have a ton of earrings, I always revert to my tride-n-true studs (I even wore them for my wedding). In the past two weeks I've purchased three pairs of dangly earrings and have already worn one of them twice. Go girl.
2. Floss. Okay, this is kind of gross but I hate that shiz, but I'm making it my mission to make this a regular habit (so what if I have a dentist appointment on March 31st).

3. Celebrate my 27th birthday. This one might be inevitable as my birthday is quickly approaching and I cannot change that. However, that said, I'm super excited for number 27 as this is an age I've been looking forward to for years. No joke. Also, I'm really just trying to bathe in this excitement of getting older as I might never feel this optimistically about it again. Ha.
4. Let my nails grow. Over a year ago, for the first time ever in my life, I let my nails grow. I'm not sure what came over me (well, actually I do remember admiring my bridesmaid's nails at brunch one day over the Christmas break and wishing mine were like hers...) but one day I just stopped. I managed to grow them for almost a whole month and it was incredible. I'd never seen my own natural nails that long and it was awesome. Since then, I've let them grow and bit them off, let them grow and picked them off - it seems to come and go in stages. I'm currently in a 'bite them off' kind of stage which I don't want to be, so, here's to March (and I say this as I sit here and pick my nails).
