New Year, new who?

Back again ladiesssss! This week I'm giving a few tips on how to transition into the new year smoothly. We all may have our own New Years rituals like eating collard greens for money and black-eyed peas for luck. But this year? We are going to put in some foot work behind those rituals.

A few things I like to do before the new year approaches are deep clean my home, stock up on all house goods and make a list of my personal, business and family goals for the year.

Today is the 29th of December and I am proud to say I have completed about 85% of this list! Deep cleaning consists of going through clothes, cleaning the carpets, mopping, wiping down all surfaces, organizing. Like, literally everything that you have been putting off for months NEEDS to be done.

I love keeping my home stocked because it saves me so much time in the long run. I made one trip to Sam's for tissue, paper towels, detergent, fabric softener. I bought everything down to my candle lighters lol & I spent less than $200 doing so, great investment if you ask me! With all that I have, I should not have to purchase more house goods until April!

Once you complete the labor work, you want to sit down and write out 2-3 lists of goals you want to accomplish this year.

  •     Personal: as women, we often forget to include ourselves. The self neglect has got to stop! Be sure to make a list of all of your personal goals. For example, one of my personal goals is to get my skin together. I've always had problematic skin and this year, I want to find the PERFECT products and routine to keep my skin A1.
  •     Family: think of things you may want to do or things you want to make better. Being a mom, I always have things I need/want to work on for the betterment of my household. Y'all know I love to cook but one thing I want to do this year is lean to make a BOMB ass steak. That is one thing I have not conquered and I'm definitely putting it on my list to master.
  •     Business: If you have a business, you MOST DEFINITELY should not go into the new year without a plan.  What do you want to see happen in your business this year? How do you plan to execute for your sales? What kind of numbers are you looking for monthly/daily/yearly?

There is so much power in paper/pen. This truly holds you accountable and being that it is solid, you can always go back to that piece of paper and see what it is that you need to be doing next. Never lose sight of YOUR GOALS! You have to stay accountable for you.


Happy New Year! Stay beautiful girls!

Love,

Autumn ❤️

Forgive or forget?

How do you find peace within situations where you may feel you have been wronged? I would like to be perfect and say “I just move on” but I don’t. As an adult, hell a human, people are going to shit on us. Regardless to how good of a person you were to them. It is easy to forgive yourself or tell yourself “I didn’t do anything wrong” and in prospect of the opposing party, I can 100% guarantee you that’s what that person is thinking. In the past few years, I have become so at peace with what I have not done. And something else I have learned is peace comes from within, no one else can give you that.  Even though, I may question myself like “dang what made them do that to me” or “what did I do to deserve that from them”. Nothing has brought me peace more than being genuine and knowing that it was not me. See, what we fail to realize is that everyone is raised differently and on different morals. What is dead wrong to me, may have been okay in their household. And that’s totally up to...

How to stretch your time

 This morning, I honestly felt like super woman. Before 9am this morning, I cleaned up the entire upstairs, started laundry and went to the grocery store. ALL before 9am when I have to clock-in to work. (I wake up at 7am) One thing that I thought about as I was leaving the grocery store is the days that I don't get an early start to. The days that I could have done more but I did not have 'time'.  So, as I sat there, I'm thinking like wow.. I could literally pick a day out of the week to complete chores. For examples: Monday: Bathrooms, Tuesday: Bedrooms, Wednesday: Laundry/floors etc. That would help me out so much, just dedicating 30mins or so to clean an area. I also (TRY) to plan out our meals for the week. This way I can go grocery shopping once for the week then focus on the menu for the following week. I'm a mom, I work part-time, run my business full time, try to stay on top of my hair/nails/eyebrows ETC all while running a household is HARD! I am sharing th...

Balancing life and friendships.

We're all adults and most of us are in our mid to late 20's. We are currently in a stage where we are finding new friends, losing old ones and still in the midst of finding ourselves while raising these kids, searching for our soulmate and trying to solidify our career. THAT IS A LOT! I often feel like I don't have enough time for my friends or I don't check on them enough. And that's just my personal guilt. The average person can see that I am genuinely busy trying to build a better lifestyle for myself and my kid. Friends are important, at any stage in life, especially the "good" friends. And the good depends on the type of friends you may need. Some of us like to go out and party, some don't. Some of us like book clubs, some of us like concerts. However you feel a friend can best cater to you, that is what you should be looking for. One thing that I have learned is friends don't grow "with" you and you cannot blame them or be upset wit...
