I'm not one to usually get too pumped up and make a ton of resolutions for the new year, but I'm feeling incredibly excited about 2012. There should be some important life changes this year (and I'll be 25 later in the year...holy cow!) and I can't wait! I've set some goals for myself that I think are reasonable and reachable but will also hopefully encourage me to push and stretch myself. One of them is to be BOLD. Seems kind of silly, however, I've been very shy for the majority of my life and advertising and pr are rather outgoing fields of work. I'm going to try not to be the quiet one at the office anymore and to reach out, ask questions, and engage with different people more.
The new year has also encouraged my obsession with notebooks and journals. I swear cute stationery and planners get me every time. Below are three that I'm excited to start using. The small Q&A one is an adorable book with a question for each date and five sections on the page so that you can see how your answers change over the years. The questions range from cute and random to deep and introspective. The big spiral one is a journal that I'm hoping to keep up with, and especially to use on my trip in May. Finally, the one that says 2012 on the front is my planner for the year. Frankie Magazine has started putting out the most adorable planners every year, and they choose fantastic illustrators to design the pages inside. I was bummed when I missed it last year, but this year I received it as a gift from my boyfriend's sister.
By far my favorite magazine!
