Entre Nous.

Bon Weekend!

 

Adding this gem to my "this too shall pass" repertoire of quotations.

Carried Away

I might be a tad too excited for my own good about the prequel to Sex and the City, The Carrie Diaries. But it's the little things, right? It's Carrie Bradshaw's back-story and it's available on basic cable, premiering on the CW January 14th. In case you, like me, were curious, it looks like Eric Daman is the new Patricia Fields this go round.

Bring it on!

That's my motto for the new year. 2012 was the year a lot of definitive plans were set in motion and 2013 will be the year those plans come to fruition. I'm very fond of clean slates, resolutions, goals, and the making of lists and plans. So without further ado, here are the highlights of my resolutions for the year ahead.

New Year's Resolutions

1. Eat and drink more healthfully and exercise regularly. Eliminate the foods I'm allergic to from my diet and try going Paleo for at least a month. Mix it up on the exercise front; yoga, pilates, hiking, and tennis.

2. Devote more time to the care of my skin. I've discovered an incredible line of products from the dead sea that I can't wait to start utilizing on a daily basis.

3. Open my life style boutique. First online then of the brick and mortar variety.

4. Be a more attentive and present friend. Initiate phone calls and return calls in a more timely manner. Communicate via the written word and not only the typed variety.

5. Travel to more far flung locations and visit more new destinations. In two weeks I'll be checking off the "visit more new destinations" portion of that resolution by going to Salt Lake City, UT and Park City, UT.

6. Blog more regularly and purposefully. My intention is to walk away from Alt Summit with a clearer purpose of the direction this blog is taking.

7. Don't be so hard on myself. I'm my biggest critic and so this year I mean to cut myself some slack.

8. Get organized and stay that way. From my email inbox to my closets and every area of my life in between.

9. Do something creative on a regular basis. Put those pinned DIY projects on Pinterest to good use.

10. Take on the study of either a sport, language, or musical instrument. I'm thinking tennis, horseback riding, French, or the piano.

Bonus. Treat myself. As the French woman who rang up my bottle of perfume at the Chanel shop in Paris said, "you deserve it". She was right, I do. It doesn't have to be anything expensive or extravagant, a simple cup of tea prepared with thoughtfulness in a china tea cup would suffice.

Wanderlust

At the start of each new year I like to take a look back at where I ventured throughout the previous year. 2012 predictably took me back to Savannah, twice. Then unpredictably took me across the pond to England and France for a whirlwind ten day experience abroad. Then it was back home via Toronto and Vancouver. I'm starting 2013 off with a trip to Salt Lake City, UT and Park City, UT for Alt Summit and Sundance respectively. Then on the agenda for the rest of the year is Savannah (naturally), NYC, LA, and...? One of my resolutions for 2013 being to travel more to new destinations.
