Top Five Things Can't Leave The House Without

Hey guys;



So this week blog is actually going to be a video one. So watch and don't forget to leave a comment.

Can't wait to read them, and have an amazing day.

2015

It's the first Saturday o the New Year and I am writing a blog before turning in for the night.

I'm asking myself what I want from this year. That thought has been messing around my head or a few days now. It's a big deal to figure out what you want for the year.

Especially since this is a big year. I'll be turning 24, it marks the 20th anniversary of my father's death and it also marks 6 years since I graduated from high school.

I know partly what I want and that's to be more positive. I know I want to read 104 books. I know I want to be the best person that I can be.

What I don't know is how do I keep my life balanced, find happiness and love without losing who I am. How do I know what habits to keep and which ones not to?

I'm constantly thinking but that's who I am. I guess I’m wondering does anyone else out there feel the same way that I do. Is there any advice that I can get that will help me?

Tell me what you guys think? What are your plans and dreams for 2015?
