Do you ever feel like cleaning up your timeline or feed but aren’t sure where to begin? This guide works for almost every social media platform from Facebook to Twitter to Instagram!
I recently used this to clean up my Twitter and Instagram–why was I following people who posted posts that I always skip or get bothered by? This is a great way to clean up one aspect of your life!
So it’s the end of the month and it’s time to see if I actually completed any of my goals! Let’s find out .
Goal: Find a new concealer.
Results: This was a very last minute success. Packing and interning took priority over concealer shopping. I did, however, order the highly raved about Maybelline Fit Me Concealer. This concealer, so far, is pretty amazing. It matches my skin tone perfectly and blends very easily.
Goal: Make something from my Pinterest board.
Results: WELL. I purchased spray paint, a wooden ampersand, thumbtacks, magnets and canvases. I bought the stuff to execute said projects, does that count?
Goal: THROW OUT OLD MAKE-UP.
Results: When packing to move out from college, I tossed all of my old mascaras. Including the afore mentioned L’Oreal Miss Manga mascara that smells pretty funky. I also tossed a bunch of products that were quite old or I never used. Still have a ton of makeup, but I DID toss a bunch of things!
Goal: Splurge on a neutral eyeshadow palette
Results: Well, I DID just splurge on make up, but none of the items were eye shadow. Oops. I finally bought the NYX Copenhagen I’ve been drooling over since Christmas and a few other make-up products that I’ve been eyeing. I splurged on makeup…just not a palette. I cannot commit to a palette!
Goal: Finish the semester with mostly A’s
Results: Very proud to say I finished my first year of college with all A-‘s and A’s with the exception of one B!
Goal: Create an online portfolio of my writing and graphic design work.
Results: I have not even started this. I did bookmark a lot of my online work, though? It’s gathered but not anywhere yet.
Goal: Drink healthier coffee
Results: So I planned to cut down to one Splenda packet and two little coffee creamers. I did this for the most part. There were two or three days where I slipped up and put two sugars, so to combat it I would put one less creamer. My coffee still tastes pretty good, I’m definitely gonna stick to my new “healthier” coffee! Plus, I recently accidentally put too sugars and now it’s way too sweet. I trained my brain to prefer less sweet coffee, I think? Awesome.
Goal: Cut out chips
Results: I went almost the whole month without chips BUT I accidentally broke this goal promise when I ate a handful of Salt & Vinegar chips–my weakness! Otherwise, I think this goal was a success. I only ate chips once this month!
Goal: Train my brain to be healthier??
Results: I deleted most of my fitness apps to save space and basically just eat whatever I want. I did eat some vegan food and lots of salads at my internship, though, does that count? I also watched a food documentary that inspired me to be healthy for about an hour after watching it. Then I ate cookies.
Did you set any monthly goals for yourself and complete them?
Since I’m minoring in Graphic Design and want as much practice as possible and love a good desktop and iPhone wallpaper, I’ve decided to have monthly little digital freebies for you guys to download and use! Whoooohooo!
Click on the images for the full-sized version and simply right click to save on your computer or hold down the images to save on your iPhone.
Any requests for what style or colors you want to see next month? Let me know!
We all want things, don’t we? Here are some things I’ve got my eye on for the month of May!
I collect heart shaped sunglasses and thus, these incredibly unique tortoise-shell half-frame heart shaped sunnies are an absolute dream, right? WRONG. They’re from Forever 21 (aka they’re probably super cheap, too) but they are sold out which, in Forever 21 world, means probably never going to be seen again because they change stock so often. Sigh.
Urban Decay 2010 Alice in Wonderland Palette
This palette not only looks incredibly beautiful and pop-up picture bookish, but the colors are a perfect mix of shimmery neutrals and fun brights. I am in love, I am so in love. But, I will never own it—it is retired and gone it was limited edition in 2010. More sighs.
Nyx Soft Matte Lip Crème in “Copenhagen”
Since I’ve become quite obsessed with dark lip colors, I have had my eye on this one. I love Nyx and their soft matte lip cremes, so I obviously fell in love with this shade. I’ve been dying for this shade since Christmas—I cannot find it in any store! I will probably cave and order it soon. I must have it.
I’ve never tried any LUSH products. Every beauty blogger and magazine raves about these and basically treats their products like their holy water and they are being baptized with bubble gum and sea salt concoctions. I’m quite intrigued and the prices aren’t as bad as I thought. Maybe I’ll cave and try one out.
Vivitar Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker
I love singing in the shower. Now that I will be leaving the huge shared bathrooms and will have a townhouse in which I can freely sing in the shower (and even play music), I need this. Technology is amazing–music in the shower?! Gone are the days where I tried to put my iPod and speakers in the bathroom and cringe as the steam altered the sound and probably damaged the wires. Poof.
What’s on your wishlist for May?
