Happy June y’all (yes I know we are already 9 days into it)! Can you believe that we are half way through 2017? I’m not quite sure that I’m okay with this. Though, I will admit that these next few months or should I say year and a half will be filled with wedding planning. So that’s one exciting thing to look forward to with the year being almost half way over. Today I’m going to be recapping my May goals and share what I want to accomplish this month.
May Goals Revisited: Blog & Personal
-Write two beauty posts// I only wrote one last month. I shared my May Favorites here.
-Finish reading “Talking As Fast As I Can” by Lauren Graham// Done! I loved this book. I will have my review coming soon.
-Get my skin in check// Yes! My skin has calmed down significantly when it came to my forehead breaking out like crazy. I have been using some old products and new products that have helped make that happen. I will have my review of some of those new products coming soon.
-Continue to reach out to brands for collaborations// Yes!! I completed one of those collaborations so far, which you can read about here. I also have several others in the works.
-Continue getting ideas together for my series collaboration// This is still in the works but it’s been started. Hopefully myself and Leslie will be able to get it going soon.
-Get back to working out 3 x’s a week// Yes and no. Some weeks I worked out 3 x’s a week and other’s just no.
4.5/6 goals accomplished. I gave myself .5 for half way completing some of my goals.
June Goals: Blog & Personal
–Start looking into wedding photographers// I have started looking into photographers but I am being very picky. I don’t want just any photographer. I’m getting married at night time outside, so I need someone who can take beautiful photos during the night.
-Start looking into makeup artist// Again I have started to do this already but I am super picky about my makeup. I want to look beautiful that day, so not just any artist will do.
-Write three beauty posts// I am determined to meet this goal, since I’ve been slacking. I have been wanting to get back to one of the reasons why I started blogging, which was to do beauty reviews.
-Continue to work out// With my wedding coming up in a year in a half I really want to get into better shape. Gotta look good in that wedding dress! I want to strive for working out at least 3 x’s a week but I’m going to try for four.
-Eat healthier// Y’all I love food. Sometimes I got on a complete health kick and other days…not so much (I like a little bit of some balance). So of course with wanting to look good in the wedding dress also, comes healthier eating. I have been eating a lot of protein, smoothies and salads lately. I plan on cooking healthier meals as well for me and my future hubby to be.
-Learn how to better pitch myself to brands through BossPitch// I’ve already started this some and I can’t wait to see everything I learn.
-Start finalizing my blog series with Leslie// We have some great ideas underway but we need to get it altogether. Stayed tuned because I am excited! I love working with other bloggers.
What are your goals for June?
Ooh, I’ve been wanting to read Talking as fast as I can. Glad to hear you liked it. I have two goals for june: 1. get organized and work ahead. 2. Find a new house!
Johanne it was a really good book! I hope you were able to reach your goals for June!!
Great goals! I love reading these kinds of posts and it gets me so motivated. I haven’t been doing this every month much anymore but you reminded me I should start them up again. I hope you achieve all of these for this month.
Thank You Jackie! I really enjoy reading other’s goal posts too because it keeps me inspired! I hope you were able to achieve all of your goals for June as well.
YAY Girl! I’m so excited for wedding planning for you. I love what you’ve shown me so far. I want to read Lauren Graham’s Talking As Fast As I Can so badly. Yay for getting your skin in check. I know that can be difficult to do but it feels so good when you do. I told my hubby that I need to start doing better at that again.
I’m so excited for you and your collaborations. I can’t wait to see what other brands you are collaborating with. I need to get back into working out, too. I’m so excited that in the new house, i’ll have my own office/craft room with plenty of room for working out, too!
Girl, you’ve got this month’s goals. You can do it! I know you can. Feel free to check in with the Coffee + Goals group, too!
Hi Sweet Friend!!! I’m so glad you love everything I’ve shown you so far! I really enjoyed reading Talking As Fast As I Can. I really think you’d enjoy it. I can not tell you how happy I am to have my skin back in check. I was hating having breakouts. It’s something I’ve never had to deal with. So fingers crossed it stays that way. I’ve been adding a few things into my routine that have made a big difference as well. I’ll be having my review hopefully in two weeks. 🙂
I will have two more collaborations coming to the blog next week (hopefully). I will workout more! I am determined! You can do this too girl. I am so jealous of your new house. It sounds amazing already! I am hoping I can kick this months goals butt!!
You have a beautiful blog! Congrats on your future wedding, and good luck on your June goals!
Thank You Christine!! Wedding planning is coming along slowly but surely! 🙂
eating healthy is tough but so worth it
I agree Neely! I’ve been trying really hard to eat better over the last few months. It’s slowly but surely paying off.
Yay! Let me know if you want any photographer recommendations – I have a ton of them. When/where/what time are you getting married? I’d seriously love to help you out. 🙂
Aww thank you Summer!!! I appreciate that!!! 🙂 I will be getting married during the night time in October. I found the perfect photographer who has taken photos at my venue. I am so excited to be taking photos with him.
Excited for all your personal goals and your series with Leslie! Good luck.

Thank You Alix!! Leslie and I have both been so busy that we have not been able to do our series yet. Hopefully soon!
I may have to look into BossPitch.. I never know the best way to reach out! Good luck with your June goals!
Danielle Boss Pitch is really great and makes you think more about how to approach brands more effectively. 🙂
Gah skin can be so crazy sometimes. Mine goes through spurts of being no good too! good lucking getting it back on track!
Kallie mine does too! Though it’s been a lot better recently. I have been trying some new products that have made such a difference!
Fabulous goals love! Keep on killing it!!
Thank You Ruth!
Congratulations on your wedding!!! I bet your over the moon right now! My goal has been to be healthier and exercise for the past couple of months but I’ve been failing spectacularly at it lol!
Thank You Channing! I am very excited about it, just lots of planning ahead! With my wedding coming up in 1.5 years, I really want to get myself into shape. I will admit I’ve been slacking previously but now this really gives me some motivation.
Have you made it through all the modules to Boss Pitch yet? All of the tips are so helpful in understanding how to be strategic with your pitches. It’s honestly changed my entire approach.
Cara I have not yet! I’m slowing making my way through it. It has been very helpful so far though! I can’t wait to finish it!
Yay for completing a lot of your May goals. Good luck with your June goals girl. I can’t wait to hear more about wedding planning.
Thank You Jenny! I’ll have some wedding planning posts coming soon. 🙂
Great goals, girl! I always love reading goal posts.
Thank You Carly! I too enjoy reading other bloggers goal posts. 🙂
