    Happy New Year 2018!

    Starting 2018 with my second, first post of a new year!

    Did that make sense to you?

    It’s basically been about a year since Luxe & Loaded birthed out of these creative fingers and brain. And as we are all settling in after the holiday season, it’s time for the ‘first post of the year’. And this will be my second time at it since we are coming in to L&L’s 1st year anniversary!

    So what has happened in 2017?
    Like any typical year it was filled with a lot of ups. A lot of downs. And much more shopping. Maybe almost too much – if that’s even possible!

    And to sound as cliché as I can possibly get…

    I’m expecting big things for 2018.

    In all aspects of my life. Personal, career and relationship.

    There are going to be a lot of risks taken this year.
    A lot of adulting this year.
    And definitely a lot of blood, sweat and tears this year.

    Minus the blood. Hopefully we don’t need that.
    Though, I’m sure plenty of tears, as the beginning of 2018 has already proven. Put it this way – I have a wedding to plan! You feel me?

    And even though I am super anxious and nervous for the year ahead, I am also excited and going in head strong and confident.

    And just like last year, you’re welcome to come along on my journey with me. Or as always described on the Bachelor/Bachelorette – this amazing journey.

    Which reminds me – I have a new season to get suckered into watching. Better be the most dramatic season yet!

    Let’s do this 2018. I’m ready!

    Happy New Year 2017!

    Welcoming 2017 with my first post of the year!
    Actually…
    First post ever!

    So I’ve decided to start a blog. It only took…*counting modestly* … 8 years to finally start one. Clearly, I was in no rush. Totes a lie.
    Clearly, I was a procrastinator.
    I was afraid.
    Afraid that it would suck.
    Afraid that no one would read it.
    Afraid that people would make fun of me for starting one when blogs weren’t popular. Now, afraid that people will make fun of me since blogs are popular and career starters and that I’m just jumping on the bandwagon.
    But you know what? F*ck. That.

    I’ve always liked writing. It’s an outlet for my thoughts. And since I’m a quiet person, this is a better form of communication for me. Plus, I’m a visual person too. I like art. I like taking pictures. I like painting. I like creating.
    So why not create?

    The year’s end usually calls for some reflection. And at the end of a sucky 2016, I’ve noticed that I haven’t been focusing on who’s really important here, and that’s me. I need to pay more attention to myself and not ignore my voice. I’m always one to give others advice and encouragement, but in turn, I never listen to my own words. If I can inspire some sort of epiphany in others, well I should do so for myself too.

    So, what is my blog going to be about? I haven’t exactly figured that out just yet, but I thought just starting was a good place to start. I’ll find my voice along the way.

    In the meantime, you’re welcome to come along on my journey with me.
