Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda

*

Hello 2014,

You have arrived 3 weeks ago and I am sorry to say, you weren`t greeted properly since. I am not the biggest fan of resolutions, probably because I suck at sticking to them.

But, none the less, I have decided to dedicate a little post to this subject. Namely because I have read some wonderful posts regarding new year`s resolutions and was inspired by these lovely ladies - Gala, Jess (always!) and (you are going to laugh now) Jess. I just realized the name pun. Love it!

Anyhow, without any further ado, let’s see what could you do to make 2014 count.

Gala wrote this amazing article about so many inspiring and life-celebrating resolutions and challenges and stuff to do in 2014. It is a lovely omnibus of most inspiring articles she found around the internet that she finds to be helpful in enjoying life and in the end loving you more and better. My favorite was the one about how to spend more time away from the computer/internet and how to make that quality time for making more/most of life.

Jess Lively, wrote an amazing article about resolutions over at The Every Girl. She explains why she does not prefer them, what are the most common issues arising, and how to deal with all of that, and maybe to stay on track with good intentions to give your life more quality with these resolutions, or whatever you want to call them. I agree that it is hard, and I too have tried on more than one occasion, and failed. Just like she said, abandoned the whole concept after few stumbles. That`s why you should read Jess` articles about "shoulda" effect on your life and how to live better with intentions. With this in mind, see how 2014 intention calendar could help and maybe what books you could read.

And yes, I really do like Jess.

Jess from lovely blog Fashionmugging created a simple fashion&life resolutions list that does not put a lot of pressure, it is not (to) demanding and I thing sums up a lot of things we could (see no "should" // tnx Jess!) embrace and incorporate in our lives no matter the year, the season or time.

1. Buy less, choose well.
2. Wear heels and lipstick more often.

3. Less stress, more positive thinking.
4. Clean up the closet and giveaway old ones.
5. Be nicer to people.
6. Stick to the basics.
7. Blog and instagram more.
8. Organize better.
9. Restart the bag and holiday funds.
10. Do not forget that life is not perfect, but it does have great moments.


Don`t you just love her photo collage?


So, this is it. I just need to get a hold of a nice 2014 agenda, to keep record of my lists and goals, intentions and inspirations. I think I will do great.
