My name is Danielle and I'm 22 years old. I work 2 jobs, one of which I just received a promotion! Woo! I am not currently taking classes but I plan to finish my degree when I can afford it. You may be thinking, but you just said you have two jobs? I do, but I'm also in debt. And not dependent on my parents.
Recently I made a few small changes in my life. New Year, new me! And I plan on sticking to it! I made several New Year's Resolutions actually. First, I made a budget. My parents had been bugging me to do this for so long now! I promise myself that from now forward, I will chip away at my bills and get myself out of debt. I also am going the natural route when it comes to food and home/beauty products. Eating organic when possible, and of course, more fruits and veggies. I fully support the vegitarian lifestyle but I'm going with what I think is a more natural animal kingdom approach and simply limiting my meat consumption. More whole wheat is also part of my plan. I got a new face wash by the YES To Carrotts brand and i love how soft it makes my skin feel. Made my own bath salt with lavendar and almond oils. Also switched both my deoderent and toothpaste brands to Tom's All Natural. Eventually I'd like to completely switch over to products that are both safer for me and safer for the envirionment. But as I am not a waster, I must finish out what I have on hand first. And also trying to take better care of my surroundings. Doing chores more regularly rather than being lazy. I even made some of my own cleaning products, with vinegar and baking soda mostly. No harsh chemicals is good for everyone!
All in all, the new me is a little bit more aware, a little bit more active, and a little less lazy. This is hopefully the start of something great!
Thanks for reading,
Danielle

Good for you!
ReplyDeleteWith the chores thing, it may help to do a list and mark off the things as you do them. I thought it was kind of silly what people said about it helping them feel accomplished and keeping to their plan, but it really does help... good luck.
