Winter Weekend...At the Beach!

My long weekend was spent hiking, laying by the pool, and going to the beach with girlfriends. Who would've thought that it's January? THIS is why I moved to SoCal!

Saturday I went to Malibu to hike what I heard was a beautiful trail with a waterfall at the end. We get to the end, and it's dry. Completely dry. No water. It was very anti-climatic! It was still a nice hike and a beautiful day, and we had fun.

Saturday I spent some time laying out reading by the pool. My favorite place! Especially in January. What's winter?

Today I surprisingly had the day off and went back to Malibu and spent the day on the beach with some girlfriends. It was absolutely gorgeous weather and nice to spend time away from the city with friends.

Can't all weekends be long?!

Putting my sippy cup to good use!

Happy New Year!

So, I fell behind on my blogging! But one of my Resolutions is to do at least one post a week. Some weeks may be more exciting than others, fair warning!



I decided to actually make a few Resolutions this year. Posting them here is my way of holding myself accountable. I will:

  • Put my clothes away before I go to bed each night
  • Send one handwritten card or note to someone different each month
  • Write a weekly blog post
  • Take a lunch everyday at work (Lately I've been in the bad habit of eating at my desk)
  • Run 10 miles each week
  • Leave work and work emails at work (Another bad habit I've developed--working after leaving the office)
  • Update my budget every day
  • Attend one Meetup per month (See New Discovery)
So there you have it. I chose to make Resolutions that I can actually keep--the 10 miles a week is going to be the hardest!
