February 2017 Goals

Can y’all believe that it’s already February?  I’m so happy to see it because January was hectic. I love February because it’s filled with lots of red, pink, chocolates and love.  Today I am sharing my goals for this month. But first let’s see how I did on my January Goals.

January Goals Revisted: Blog & Personal

-Grow all social media platforms by at least 10 more followers // +15 on Instagram & +30 on Twitter. I have been working really hard to be more active on both platforms. My hard work is slowly paying off.

-Write three beauty posts// Yes and no. I wrote two beauty posts (here and here).  With all my issues with wordpress last month, I had to switch around my whole editorial calendar. I’m still happy with two posts.

-Plan out the rest of my content for this month and February// Accomplished! I only hope that wordpress doesn’t give me any issues this month, so my content can stay put. 🙂

-Update three pinterest images// Failed. I have three images picked out that I want to update but never got to it.

-Update three old blog posts// Failed at that one too.

-Get a massage// Nope. Didn’t happen because I was too busy to get one last month.

-Eat some king cake// I definitely ate some king cake. Not too much but I had my fair share. Carnival season is still here, so I know I’ll probably have some more king cake before it’s over.

-Exercise 3 x’s a week// Yes!!! I have been working so hard to get back into shape. It’s going to be a process but at least I started.

-Read one book// I haven’t read one whole book but I did start reading Luckiest Girl Alive.

I didn’t accomplish everything I set out to do last month but I am still proud of what I accomplished.

February Goals: Blog & Personal

-Continue to find the positives when things get hectic. I really have been doing well with being more positive (even when my days were horrible). It’s always better to be positive if you’re dealing with stress.

-Update three pinterest images. Seeing that I did not do this last month I really need to this month. I know I can do it!!!

-Update three old blog posts.

-Spend more time with my family. 

-Declutter some of my makeup. 

-Read Big Little Lies. I joined the SYBL book club and this is the book we are reading for this month. I am determined to finish it!

-Get a massage. My body has so many knots from being stressed out last month. It’s time to go get that massage.

-Continue to be more active on Instagram & Twitter. 

Seeing that I did not accomplish all of my goals for last month, it makes me even more determined to accomplish them this month.

What are some of your goals this month?

    I really like your goal of seeing the positives when things get hectic. I am trying to be more positive this month also. Also, I have heard that Big Little Lies is a good read – enjoy!

      Thank You Trish!! Things have been very hectic for me this year with work. It’s only February!! I am hoping things calm down some because I have been exhausted. I am trying to stay positive though. It’s been hard to do. Good luck with staying positive as well this month. I am enjoying Big Little Lies so far. It’s really good!

    I’m curious- what is King Cake?

    Posted 2.3.17
    • sweetteaandhydrangeas wrote:

      King cake is very popular during Mardi Gras (Carnival season). It represents the ‘Twelfth Night” know to Christians as the “Epiphany”. We decorate it with purple, gold and green and it had a baby inside of it. It’s really good. It’s really just a huge cinnamon roll filed with different flavors on the inside or you can just do a plain one. It’s so good!!!!

      Adriana it’s really good so far! I am not far into it yet, but I am loving it. They also have the HBO series (I believe it’s limited though) coming out soon.

  8. Hi Sweet Friend! Great job on the goals you accomplished in January. I’m so bad at Twitter. That’s my least used platform. I just don’t have the inspiration with twitter that I do with everything else.

    I decluttered my make up last month and it felt soooo good to throw away an entire trash bag full. Of course, i’ve started slowly replacing it (Colour Pop and Essence orders are on their way. Oopss. And I got two from Ulta last month, too) but it was well needed. I get this really weird excitement about throwing things away. I really want to try to simplify out lives this year!

    Have a wonderful weekend, doll!

      Thank You Sweet Friend! Twitter is something that I forget to do at times honestly. I have tried to get better with it though. I have really put more effort into Instagram lately though. It’s such a hit or miss for me. I did join an Instagram pod though. I have so much makeup to declutter. So many things I have not used. Which is why I have not been buying as much lately unless I run out of something. Don’t feel bad…I just purchased some more ColourPop stuff. Oops….I really need to declutter more. I wanted to do that this weekend….but I just wanted to be a little more lazy. So I will be doing that some this weekend!!! I hope you enjoyed your birthday weekend!

  9. These are some great goals. I should start making posts like this to keep myself accountable.

      Thank You Michelle!! I try to do a goal post every month because it helps hold me accountable. It also lets me know what I need to continue to work on. 🙂

    These goals are great! I’m also trying to be more consistent with posting on my blog. I made a content calendar but fell behind when I was sick. Hopefully, I can catch up this weekend.

      Thank You Taylor! I completely understand about the content calendar. I had issues with wordpress most of last month and it messed my calendar up a lot. Good luck with your goals this month. Hope you are feeling better!

    I think my biggest goal this month is to be more active on Instagram, I kind of just took a break out of nowhere last month. It’s time to catch up again!
    Your goals sound so attainable! Good luck!

    Posted 2.3.17
    • sweetteaandhydrangeas wrote:

      Krysten that’s a great goal to have! Instagram is a hit or miss for me honestly. I find a lot of people do the follow/unfollow method. It drives me crazy. Good luck with your goals this month as well!

      Thank You Cole! I agree January was very hectic for me. I am hoping this month slows down some.

  15. My goals are to begin drafting posts for my second website that I want to launch in either March or April. I’m still deciding. I also want to read for 30 minutes a day, reduce my screen time usage on my phone, and grow my social media accounts for the blogs. Best of luck!

      Those are great goals to have CJ. Reading is something I really hope to do this month. Unplugging is always needed even if it’s a little bit each day. Good luck with your goals as well!

    These are some great goals for February! It’s really hard to stay positive sometimes and I think it’s great that you’ve written that down as a goal. Good luck with the Insta and Twitter growth, i’m trying too and it’s hard but so rewarding!

    • sweetteaandhydrangeas wrote:

      Thank You Leanna! It’s been hard staying positive lately with the craziness of work but I am really trying to find good things in bad days. Instagram is so hard to gain followers. A lot of people I find do the follow/unfollow method and it drives me crazy. I am slowly growing Twitter.

      Thank You Jessica! I am very excited about BLL! I think it’s going to be really good. I am planning on getting that massage next week. I agree they are amazing to get!

      Thank You Rachel. Updating old blog posts entails, updating images to make them more pinable, add or delete posts that are no longer relevant to my blog, etc.
