How to set and achieve your goals



Many of us know have many dreams we would love to pursue. We have short term goals and long term goals. Through many years of trial and error(mainly error) I have learned the rules to use to achieve what you want out of life. Believe me, I have had many fails in life(failed business, job layoff) but I have also accomplished many things. I have talked about fear and taking a leap of faith so I won't go into that, but once you conquer your fear of doubt you are ready to take on your dreams. 

So here are some personal rules that I go by in order to achieve my goals.

Make a list of what you would like to do.

Ask yourself..if money wasn't an option What could I see myself doing everyday?

What's stopping you from achieving your goal? Everyone has bumps in the road or things that are stopping them from doing what they love. It can be money, family issues or a combination of several things. Identify whats holding you back and work towards overcoming your obstacles. 

What can you do for yourself to achieve your goal? Everyone has a war within their selves at some point. Whether it is negative thinking or fear of failure, you must make a change within before you can accomplish your dreams. 

How long will it take you to achieve your goal? Most of us can't just up and quit our 9 to 5 jobs to purse another career. So make a plan of action. If money is something holding you back start saving. If it is a skill you need to learn to start your new path then sign up for classes. Either way, take action.

The main thing is to never stop dreaming. It is never too late to accomplish and get what you want out of life. Surround yourself with positive people who are as motivated as you are and never give up!

Bare Minerals Beauty and the Beach Review

Last week I cashed in my beauty points on Sephora.com for this lovely sample set by bare minerals. The set is called Beauty and the Beach and it includes 5 pieces for a summer look. The set included marvelous moxie lip gloss in party starter, ready bronzer in the skinny dip, bare minerals ready blush in the natural high, all over face color in pure radiance and a sample of their lash domination mascara . So here is my take on the set: Here it is ladies! Marvelous Moxie lipgloss in Party Starter- this is a darker, coral and peach color. It was very sticky but it lasted for a few hours. It matched the blush perfectly. Ready Blush in The Natural High : This blush is a nice peachy pink color, it looks really shimmery in the package but looks more matte when applied. I loved that the color matched the gloss! Ready Bronzer in The Skinny Dip- I used this to contour and sculpt my face and it turned out beautiful. It matched my skin tone very nicely. Its very similar to t...

Best Fragrances of 2017

I am such a Perfume junkie. I change fragrances with clothes, moods, seasons and events. I've always felt like Perfume is a luxury that women should spoil their selves with. I love giving perfumes to my friends, family, co-workers, neighbors(you get the picture). And my favorite gift is always perfume(hint-hint)! Every department store visit, I head to the fragrance counter before I check out anything else to see what's new(Yes fragrance  girl, you can give me a spritz).  Ok, now that  you get the idea of how deep my relationship with perfume is.  2017 has been a great year for the fragrance industry. I thought long and hard and I really can't remember trying a scent that I didn't like. From new releases from beloved favorite brands, Gucci Bloom, Victor & Rolf Magic, Tom Ford Oud Minerale to new fragrences from Diptyque Eau des Sens, Jo Malone London Jade Leaf Tea Cologne, and Atelier Cologne Café Tuberosa.  It was a struggle to ...
