A Fabulous and Badass New Year

Happy New Year!

My first week of the New Year started off smooth and with good vibes, so I'm pretty happy about that. Seriously, I woke up on January 1st feeling light and ready for what the year has to offer. Not only because I started the 31 Days of Yoga Revolution, which is so revitalizing by the way, but also because I've realized that we shouldn't sit back and see where the year takes us, but instead to do and find where the year takes us.

A little outfit description, I felt so badass in this. Denim, boots, side braid, and a red lip. Fabulous and Badass. Plus, I felt so light with just my gorgeous wallet. Can we take a moment to appreciate it's simple yet bold feel? Love!

Are You Ready to Give 2017 a Good Whack?

2016 ends in less than a week, we're wrapping up our accounts, ticking off the final things that need to be done, and giving our thanks to all who have made our year. But there is still quite a bit that needs to be done.

December marks a time of reflection and creation of new goals. What better to end the year feeling accomplished for the little things rather than dreary about the unfinished. So, let's do this together. Open up an empty Google Doc file, MS Word file, or go old school with a notebook and pen, and let's get to the finishing line.

So, are you ready to get hit by 2017? or are you ready to give it a good whack?

2016 Two Month Calendar Printables

A few days back I was looking at my desk calendar and realized that I didn't have one for 2016. So after a few hours of scrolling through various retail sites, I found that I didn't want to wait another three weeks for the calendar to get to me, I wanted one now; plus, why spend? Eventually, I came up with the solution to make one. I wanted a simple A6 desk calendar that I could easily customize with washy tape, color pencils, and post-its. 

I made a very simple Two-Month Calendar and thought I'd share the printables all you stationary addicts out there. I have to be honest, though, I only made two months because it took me about an hour on each month, and other duties were calling. Nonetheless, here are the first two months of 2016 completely free for download.

For my International readers who start their week on a Monday

and for my local Bahrain readers who start their week on a Sunday.

The New Year is almost upon us, and what better way to start than with a brand new calendar!

Within the next two months, I'll probably be releasing another two month calendar for March and April. Fingers crossed.

Happy New Year, y'all!

Memory Jar of 2015

Happy New Year everyone!!!

I hope you are all feeling as refreshed as I am this new year. I feel like this year is going to be hella hectic yet memorable. It's going to be the year of changes and challenges. The year that will change the future! – or at least that's what we always say to ourselves when a new year rolls around. 

Since I want to make this year a little different than the past, I decided to start a Memory Jar. Apparently these things have been going on since 2012 or 2013? or maybe even earlier. Why did I only find out about this now? Who knows. All I know is that the idea came at the right time. While stress, indecisiveness, regrets and doubts float about around me, this memory jar seemed to put all that negativity in it's right place. 

A Memory Jar is pretty self explanatory. It's a jar filled with all your great memories of the year. Everyday, you can write one or more awesome memory you had that day, and at the end of the year, or the beginning of the next year, you lay out all your memories and read them. By doing this you will not only learn to appreciate the year you thought sucked but also the remember and reminisce on the good times you had during that year. 

I spent a good 30 minutes trying to figure out what to use as a makeshift jar since Bahrain doesn't sell mason jars like they do everywhere else. Then I found this bottled starbucks frappuccino that I had lying around and thought "hmm...this will do". I genuinely like it. 

Once you have acquired your mason jar or whatever jar you can find, you can now decorate it with some ribbon, string, and/or washy tape, and you're ready to start your writing your little good memories of the day. :)

I added a little bit of my own jam into the mix by writing "Brave"  in Khuzdul alphabets – Khuzdul is the fictional alphabet/language of the dwarves in Lord of the Rings created by J.R.R Tolkien. It fits with the earthy-toned theme doesn't it?

I also added a little paper of instructions incase I forget what to do because we all forget things sometimes. One can never be too careful. 

Will you take part and make your own memory jar? It's fun, crafty, and gives us a way to remember the good times we had and wish for more just like it. It's still not too late to start since I started this only yesterday.

How was everyones New Years?
Not too hung over I hope.
