Happy Monday and Happy May Y’all! I know I always say this lately but is it really May? I feel like it was just January last month. Of course a new months always means new goals for me to accomplish (hopefully). I also like setting goals because it helps keep me accountable.
April Goals Revisited:
Personal:
-Start finalizing my 30th birthday celebration plans//I am almost done with everything. Just need to get the hotel booked. Which I have already looked into some to book.
-Do some Spring cleaning// I have did really well with this. I got rid of some clothes and beauty products. We also have been trying to organize the house better.
-Continue to save for my trip to Cancun// I have saved a little bit but not as much as I had planned.
-Pay off some debt// I paid off $800 in debt last month. I will take that as a major win.
-Cook more meals// I cooked a few meals but I wish I would have had more time to cook.
Blog:
-Write some posts out ahead of time// I wrote out a few posts ahead of time but still need to really improve on this.
-Collaborate with other bloggers// I did not do this again last month. I was extremely busy and I know that I would not have had time to collab. Now with that being said, those of you who did say you want to collab, I will be emailing you soon!
-Start doing more beauty reviews// Well that didn’t happen because I have been so picky with my pictures that I have taken. I did finish up my pictures for one beauty review. So I plan on having one post out this week! (I know, I know…finally).
May Goals: Blog & Personal
Personal:
-Get the hotel booked for my 30th birthday celebration.
-Continue to attend Barre Classes. I seriously have loved the four classes I have already taken. It has been a challenge but a great challenge!
-Relax more. April seriously kicked my butt, so I am trying to catch up on relaxing this month. I am hoping this happens.
-Finish reading Leave Your Mark
-Find new meals to cook
Blog:
-Do at least one collaboration with another blogger.
-Get together a giveaway for my birthday this month.
-Do beauty reviews/product reviews. This has been such a failure of mine lately but I am determined to get it done this month!
-Grow my Twitter followers now that I am finally on Twitter.
So here are my goals for this month. I plan to kick butt at accomplishing my goals this month. What are some of your goals for May?
I love reading other people’s goals. I makes me feel inspired to kick some butt this month! Good luck finding new recipes. I’m in a recipe rut too. It would be great if your shared some of your favorites if you find any!
Emily I also love reading others goals. It gives me new ideas of things that I could possibly accomplish myself. I have found some good recipes on pinterest to try, now to find time to cook them will be a challenge. If I try them out I will share them!
Great goals! I hope you’re able to get some more R&R time in 🙂 And yay for exciting birthday stuff coming up!
Thank You Rachel! I really hope I get some R&R time soon. This past weekend was nice and relaxing. 🙂
Paying off any debt is a huge win! Go you for getting that done, girl! Awesome goals, super attainable!
Thank You Summer! I am hoping to continue to pay some debt off each month. It hasn’t been easy but it’s getting there. 🙂
Paying off $800 in debt is a major win-congratulations!

Way to kill it! I love reading goals- reminds me I need to make some written out goals for this month! How is Leave Your Mark? I would like to read that too.
Thank You Melissa! I also love reading goals. I am actually really loving leave your mark so far. I would def recommend adding it to your list of books to read.
Loving your goals!! And happy early birthday!
Thank You Anali! 🙂
I love taking a look at other people’s goals, because it gives me inspiration for some goals to set for myself and also keeps me accountable in checking in with some goals I’ve already set for myself! It sounds like you’ve got a nice month planned ahead, I hope it’s a little more relaxing than last month! Enjoy your birthday getaway!
I feel the same way Jasmine. Seeing other people’s goals gives me motivation to accomplish mine and find new things to add to my list. I am also hoping that May is a little bit more relaxing. 🙂
Good luck with your May goals! I am trying to grow my Twitter following as well. What’s your Twitter account? I’d love to check it out.

I love your enthusiasm & motivation it’s truly inspiring. I have pinterest board dedicated to meals I’d like to try making, it’s hard because I never have the time or energy to make half of them. Good luck with your goals this month! I’m sure you’ll kick butt!
Thank You Jazmine! I also have pinterest boards dedicated to meals I want to cook. I have cooked some of them but I still have a lot more to cook. Hopefully you will find some time to cook some of the meals you want to try soon. 🙂
Ooo.. Blog collaborations. I’m still nervous about doing them or asking… good luck with all your goals.
Just in case I don’t see… Happy Early Biiiirthdaaaaaaaaaay!
Chel you should def do a collab. Don’t be nervous! I hope I can accomplish my goals this month and thank you for the early birthday wishes. 🙂
Like others have said, reading other bloggers goals really helps me out a lot. I have trouble with writing posts ahead too, I’m not sure why but I really tend to procrastinate on those!
Happy Early Birthday!
It sleeps me out a lot too Sarah. I get new ideas on goals I can set for myself. When it comes to blogging ahead of time…I honestly try to but it doesn’t always happen that way. Thank You for the early Birthday wishes! 🙂
Sounds like you did great in April, and have some great stuff planned in May. Can’t wait to see how your collaboration goes…and hear about your birthday plans!
Thank You Shann! I did better with my goals in April than in did in March. I am hoping to do well this month with my goals. I can’t wait to do the collaborations this month. 🙂
I need to do some spring cleaning too! I keep putting it off 🙁
Jessica spring cleaning is not my favorite thing to do but it has to get done. Hopefully you will find some motivation to do some cleaning soon. If not, it’s okay. 🙂
Whats your twitter? Ill follow 🙂
Neely it is SweetTeaHblog 🙂
Great goals! I definitely need to relax more too, it’s so important to take that little bit of time out to unwind. It looks like you rocked most of last month’s, here’s to doing the same in May!
PS. Happy early birthday. 😉
Christie’s Take on Life. x
Thank You Christie! Everyone needs a little time to relax. I really have been trying to get better with relaxing and not stressing so much. I appreciate the early birthday wishes! 🙂
I love reading other people’s goals as it is a) super interesting and b) helps motivate me with my own. I hear ya re: the writing some posts out ahead of time and how it doesn’t always play out that way. I’m in the same boat!
Bree I also love reading others goals. It gives me new ideas on what I can try to improve on or add to my goals. Writing posts ahead of time is not easy. I am hoping to get better with it.
Yay for paying off debts! That’s so awesome 🙂
Good luck with your May goals, girl!
xoxo, Jenny
Could not agree more – I need to write my posts out more in advance!! It’s such a struggle, but now that school is over, I think I’ll be more on top of it!
Adriana I struggle with writing posts ahead of time because I always have something going on. I am really hoping to get better at it.
