- June goals RECAP [2021]
  
  Posted at 7:36 am by Kelli, on July 8, 2021
  I feel like the months are going by so fast. June seemed to have just started yesterday and it is already the end of it. Here’s the results from my goals for this month.
  
  ~~Buy a new planner~~
  
  I did do this and I am so excited to use it. It is called the simplified planner. This planner will help me simplify my life, and at the same time, declutter it. It kind of goes hand in hand. I will make a post about this planner sometime in the future.
  
  ~~Read 2 books~~
  
  I read 4 books in total this month.
  - Coming Up Roses (The Southern Roots, #1) by L.K. Farlow
  - An Uphill Battle (The Southern Roots, #2) by L.K. Farlow
  - Weather the Storm (The Southern Roots, #3) by L.K. Farlow
  - Shielding His Baby (Deuces Wild, #3) by Taryn Quinn
  Post 4 blogs
  
  I ended up only posting three. These are the ones I posted:
  Post 4 YouTube videos
  
  I did not post 4 videos this month, but these are the ones I did post.
  - trying Dunkin & thrift books | vlog 11
  - had a sinus infection & what book should I read? | vlog 12
  ~~Get tanner~~
  
  I feel like by me walking outside 3-4 times a week has gotten me a little tanner.
  
  ~~Walk 30 miles for cancer~~
  
  I walked over 30 miles to raise awareness for cancer.
  
  ~~Take vitamins daily~~
  
  I didn’t have vitamins for 2 weeks of this month, but when I did have them I took them. I am counting this because I could not help that my vitamins got here late, lol.
  
  Meditate 3x a week
  
  I did not do this. I did meditate about once a week. I am still trying to get better at this.
  
  Go hiking
  
  I actually did not go hiking, although I did walk on a track a lot. This month just flew by. I am going to pencil in time for a hike next month.
  
  ~~Practice writing~~
  
  I have practiced writing this month. I started writing my book instead of staying stuck on beginning ideas. I am trying to male myself plow through on writing and let myself go back later to rewrite, add or subtract things from my rough draft.
  
  22 push ups every day
  
  I started this at the beginning of the month, but I ended up have to take a week and a half break because I got a bad sinus infection. I have started again on June 28 and will do this for at least 22 days to raise veteran suicide awareness.
  
  22 squats every day
  
  I did not continue doing this. Probably should.
  
  ~~Clean house~~
  
  I have started this. I reorganized the kitchen’s pantry and multiple cluttered drawers. I hope to move to the dining room and my room.

- February Goals
  
  Posted at 6:45 pm by Kelli, on February 1, 2021
  
  I complied a list of goals for this month!
  
  Post 2 YT videos
  
  I have started posting YouTube videos again. Last December, I did about 18 days of vlogmas before I got burnt out, but I do want to start post videos at least twice a month. I want to eventually post once a week.
  
  Post on blog 4 times
  
  I have been so bad about posting on here, but I have this month more prepared. I’ve been using a planner a lot more here lately and have already planned out several blog posts.
  
  Read 2 books
  
  I’ve started reading again this year. I used to read all the time, but when I went to college, I hardly ever read for pleasure. My goal this year is to read 22 books, but I expect I’ll read more than that.
  
  Be more active on Instagram
  
  I have a fitness instagram, and I really want to be more active on that account. This past weekend, I have been researching what I could do with my account. I will be posting a progress picture at some point. I also might post about food as well. If you have any suggestions, please do comment them.
  
  Try new recipes
  
  I have a couple new drink recipes I want to try, and I’m sure there’s some new food recipes as well.
  
  Do my daily to dos
  
  When making my new year resolutions, I made a list of daily to dos to help me accomplish my goals. My daily list consists of: write 50 words, read bible, read 10 minutes of book, meditate 5 minutes, watch TJ daily vlog, inspirational quote, and affirmation.
  
  Wake up and don’t hit snooze
  
  I usually have four or five alarms set and still hit snooze once more. I have now made myself only have two alarms. Today on February 1, I did actually get up earlier than I have been here lately. I hope to eventually get up after the first alarm goes off.
  
  Ab challenge
  
  This month I am going to do an ab challenge. I will take a picture of my stomach in the beginning and the end of this month so I can compare. I will do sit ups, crunches, leg raises and planks daily.
  
  Finish Criminal Minds
  
  I am almost done with this series! I am so excited, but also sad that I am almost to the end. They will still have episodes coming out, but it won’t be the same as watching as many new episodes as I want.
  
  Finish The Seven Deadly Sins
  
  This is an anime that I started in January. I could have already finished it, but I just don’t want it to end! It is so good. I love all the seven deadly sins and their friends. After I finish Criminal Minds, I am going to finish this series.

- January in Pictures
  
  Posted at 1:13 pm by Kelli, on January 29, 2020
  
  Do you ever have that weird experience where you can’t tell if time went by really fast or really slow? That’s me right now. Part of me is like “oh wow, January is already almost over,” but then another part of me is like “oh wow, it’s ONLY January.”
  
  Anyway, here’s what my January looked like!
  
  My January has been quite interesting. I started an internship (which I love). I am working out again. I’m drinking lots of good coffee and even been meditating.
  
  I want to give an explanation for the last picture. The last picture is (obviously) of my shower (which I share with two suitemates). Last night one of them called me and asked if I knew what happened to the shower head. I asked. “.. what do you mean what happened to the shower head?” I went into the bathroom and it was literally GONE. We don’t know who took it or when. I know it was sometime yesterday between 12 p.m. and 11 p.m. but other than that, we have no idea exactly when or how or WHY.

- 2020 New Year Resolutions
  
  Posted at 9:14 pm by Kelli, on January 20, 2020
  
  Hello everyone! I hope you have all had a great year so far! This year I am really putting a challenge on myself to become a better and happier person. I wrote out a whole list of New Year Resolutions that I want to complete this 2020. I actually put them in a notebook and am logging the things I get done. What I mean by this is, for example, I want to workout at least three times a week. To keep myself motivated, I created a ‘workout log’ in a notebook so I will more likely hold myself accountable each week. Here are some more resolutions (and how I keep up with it):
  
  1. Self-care to help your mental health – I wrote a list of things I can do that could help my mental health. For example, workout, dance, hot shower, face mask, ect.
  
  2. Be a better friend and family member – I wrote out ways I could do this.
  
  3. Read at least x books in 2020 – When I read a book, I write the title, author and the date I finished reading it.
  
  4. Save money (goal: $5,000) – I write out the date I deposit money, the amount deposited and the total amount saved in 2020.
  
  5. Workout log (goal: 3 times a week) – I have writen ‘week x (month date – month date), and then under it have the day, how long I worked out and what kind of workout.
  
  6. Podcasts (goal: watch 2 a month) – I write the podcast name, the author and the date listened.
  
  7. Trying new things (at least 4 a month) – I write down the new thing I tried, the date I tried it and a note about if I liked it or not.
  
  8. Learn how to cook – I list the things I have cooked and when I cooked it.
  
  9. Youtube ideas – I have a list of ideas for my youtube channel.
  
  10. Blog ideas – I have a list of ideas for my blog.
  
  11. How to be more extroverted.confident – I have a list on things to achieve this.
  
  These are the New Year Resolutions that I have for this year. What are your New Year Resolutions? Do you have any suggestions on what else I can do to have a happy 2020?

- Writing Update
  
  Posted at 8:48 am by Kelli, on June 30, 2019
  
  Good morning! I decided to write a little writing update before I go to work. I know I don’t post a lot, but it’s because I don’t really have the time! I work long days and it’s really hard to find the motivation to write after work.
  
  However!
  
  Tomorrow I have the day off, and I have already put in my schedule to sit down and write some blogs!
  
  I really am sorry for the lack of writing. I’m going to try harder!
  
  I have to go to work now, but I hope you have a fantastic day.
  
  xx Kelli

- 10 Facts About Me
  
  Posted at 5:00 pm by Kelli, on October 21, 2017
  
  Hello everyone! I’ve realized that I haven’t properly introduced myself so here’s what this post is about! First of all, my name is Kelli and I’m currently 20 years old. I have 10 facts about myself listed below!
  
  1. I am a college student in Tennessee.
  
  2. I love to travel! Every year I usually go to Michigan and Florida for vacation. I would love to travel to more places (as long as I don’t go alone.) Below is a random picture from when I was in Panama City Beach, Florida.
  
  3. I love Harry Potter. I have always loved Harry Potter for as long as I can remember. Last May I actually got to go to the Harry Potter World.. Picture below.
  
  4. I do a variety of things. I love to read, but I also like to play sports. I also like playing video games too. My favorite ones to play are Pokemon, Harry Potter, COD: Ghosts, and The Last of Us.
  
  5. I’m a really shy person until I get to know you. My best friend says that I’m like a completely different person then. I can be very outgoing when I’m comfortable around the people I’m with.
  
  6. I’ve lived in Tennessee my whole life though I am open to moving to a different state if need be for a job. Hopefully if I do move, one of my sisters will be able to come with me.
  
  7. I’m very picky in who I date. I can’t make myself go on a date with someone whom I don’t feel any connection with or I don’t think I could ever feel any connection with.
  
  8. I have 4 siblings, a niece, and a nephew. Sibling wise, I have a little brother and 3 older sisters. My niece and nephew are from one of my older sisters.
  
  9. I have a retainer and I hate it. I’ve had it for years. My teeth would have been straight already if I hadn’t lost/broke 2 retainers already.
  
  10. I have a YouTube channel! My first ever post was actually just about my YouTube channel. I don’t upload much (I’m going to try to get better but I’m just so busy) but you should check it out. I’m going to try to upload a lot more often. It’s just the time to take editing is what hinders me from doing so.
