Week of July 27th Goals

My late july/august goals have been to set a weekly goal and then continue it for the week if it is a reasonable goal. For example, one week I tried going dairy free and it was a great choice. I have never felt better.

For this week my main focus is on five different tasks. At the end of the week I keep myself on track by reflecting on how well I achieved the goals.

1. Getting a plan for a steady post schedule. I am sorry to the confusion of my posts being at the weirdest times and dates. I have been in and out of town for the past few weeks and continue for the next few. I am trying to get one post written a day and edit one a day. Then hopefully post every other day… Is that a crazy plan?
2. Clean out my desk. My desk is a disorganized mess that I haven’t touched since school. I need to go through it and see what all has accumulated in the drawers in the past 2 months.
3. I want to drink at least two cups of tea a day. I think I go days where I drink a cup of water and it is a terrible day for me and the people around me. If I drink one cup of tea in the morning I will at least know I am starting my day well. Drinking a cup before bed is always so calming and if I can get those two in I know I just have to drink 6 more during the day. That can’t be that hard right/
4. Plan my new bedroom. I am moving in September to a townhouse in the same town just different location. I get my own floor; it is a three floor house, and my own bathroom. I plan on going with a navy and pink theme but I haven’t decided. Anyone have any ideas?
5. Go gluten free. I eat maybe two bagels a day and I have finally decided I should go gluten free. My cousin has celiac and it runs in my family, but I was blessed to not have it. I have heard so many people talk about how good they feel after cutting out gluten and I need to try it out for myself.

I wonder if any of you have any weekly goals and if you do tell me them and I may try them. I love trying new things and I am up to any ideas!

Here are some cute pictures I found on Tumblr that I thought were super cute and I hope they brighten your day!!

Summer Favorites and Occurrences

1. 
   Grey’s Anatomy. I have watched Grey’s Anatomy since I was little and faked sleeping on the couch with my mom while she was watching. I am on current season as well as watched it all the way through on Netflix five times. I am on my sixth time now!
2. Good Books. I have been reading so many books lately. I am currently reading Go Set A Watchman by Harper Lee. I have a post all about the books I have been reading this summer.

4. Pinterest. Okay so all I have done this whole summer is go on pinterest? I am okay with that.
5. Sundresses. Putting on shorts and a shirt is so complicated. Why not just wear a sundress that is super simple and easy? People think you tried super hard, but reality of it is you wanted something loose and comfy.
