Hey ladies,
It's almost the end of the year, and sadly I have to admit I've done a piss poor job of being a "regular" blogger. You know, the bloggers who put in work every single day! Yeah. Unfortunately, there's no excuse for my lack of involvement in the realm of inspiring people on a daily basis! I've been working, laying back and being lazy once I'm off the clock. Truthfully, I've lacked motivation to even blog in 2014 and there are a few reasons behind it! Nevertheless, this coming year of 2015 there will be a ton of changes...
Lets reflect on 2014 in a nutshell for me... Granted that majority of my life is somewhat secretive! I wanted to share this side of myself to my readers because yes, I'm like you, HUMAN. I do have my flaws and a ton of you can possibly relate...
Love - What is that? I haven't felt love since 2007... Honestly, lately love has been nonexistent! To be real, I've fallen for someone and failed... Then fell in and out with someone else only to find out some real crazy madness at the end of it all! I have no idea what's to come in this area in my life for 2015. But whatever comes I'll embrace it with open arms. Just know that the next man won't be a dog, won't be a stalker, or won't be a boy... I need a grown man! For more details on what I'd like in a guy, follow me on Twitter: @beyondthekurves
Work - Seriously not where I want to be, but it's pretty secure for right now! In 2013, I went from moving back to Florida from Jersey, had to start all over with everything, found a job (ended up quitting) to finances being all messed up, then not working again... The beginning of 2014 was so rough but today I'm proud of what I've dug myself out of! I really cant complain, because without this job I'd be dirt poor... In 2015, I plan on working full-time and going to school to complete my BA full-time at UCF (so if you attend and you see me say hi!). Hopefully I'm able to finish, and then move higher up in the company or maybe even working where I've always wanted to work (I'll share those dreams and aspirations in another post!)
Why the Change? - Well I went from "Fatshion Vixen" to "CurvyGirlDani" and now I'm "BeyondTheKurves"... I made the first change because I'm more than fashion! I adore fashion in the plus size world, but honestly it's more to me than fashion. Plus, I don't want to rob you guys over here promoting fashion and I wear a uniform every single day! No false advertising on here, lol! I then went to the second change because I am a curvy girl however, I screwed around being nosey on someone's page and followed them BY MISTAKE! So, with that being said I had to start all the way over... Such an idiotic mistake but a lesson learned! In fact, I'm glad I made a change, based on the fact that I'm totally not just my curves! People love me for being the real person that I am! I do have qualities and assets that a lot of women don't have, but I'm not here to show off my body or make it my platform for blogging!
This coming year, 2015... I plan to:
1. Do Vlogging - A lot of people that I used to follow (starting over caused me to lose about 1.4k followers) wanted to see me do Youtube videos! I really don't have enough privacy to do them & my laptop has gone haywire so I can't edit the videos even if I wanted to. But I'm going to do videos and try to do my best with not having to edit them until I get the technology to do so! Stay tuned for that.
2. More Blogging - Yeah I know I've been slacking but I feel that I can blog more on products, do reviews on different items that I buy, talking about how to win giveaways and such! I also plan on bringing my "Pillow Talk" girl talk back, I miss it so much! Getting to know new people and talking about so many things that are important in the world make me more inspired to continue doing what I do.
3. Going back to School - I mentioned this above. Unfortunately, I've been so caught in the web of working and not really paying attention to bettering myself. Now that I got the chance to go back, I plan on finishing without taking any breaks at all! I have to get this done and can't wait any later, I'm getting too old! LOL. I'm currently majoring in Public Relations and I know that UCF has so much in store with my major! So many doors can possibly open for me and I can't wait to see what's behind each one. I plan on busting my ass to get where I need to be in life like I've been doing my whole lifetime.
4. Saving - You know, so many people spend spend spend or they are paying so many bills that they don't realize that they should be paying themselves first. I'm going to be going by this chart and saving money each time I get paid! By the end of the year I'll have a couple of thousand dollars that I can see myself possibly using to take trips. I want to get outside of my element! I love Florida, but I want to see the rest of the world. (Check out my IG for a clearer post of this image: @beyondthekurves)
5. Bettering Myself - Starting December 1st 2014, I've been trying my best to clean eat! Ya know when you know exactly what you are putting in your mouth? I've been eating more veggies and more lean meats! I've been drinking tons of water and not stuffing my face with tons of sweets. NO SALT ADDED! When I go out to eat, I've been choosing healthier alternatives. What I haven't been doing is working out! I've been slacking, I do admit. But up until today I've lost approx. 5 pounds! I've had 2 cheat days, on those days I didn't OD that bad on the food I chose to eat... So in the future I plan on working out more to get leaner and work on my body's problem areas! I know people say I look fine, but I'd rather look fine to myself too. As confident as I am I do have flaws that I'd like to work on, being judged ain't something I like but it is what it is!
6. Moving Out - It's time for me to branch out and finally live on my own! I've lived with a boyfriend (loved it until we broke up), I've had a roommate (hated every moment of it), even moved back home (had some ups and downs) but I'd love to have my own little one bedroom apartment with my privacy and space!
It's about to be 2015, I'm still in shock. I pray that the Lord keeps me! He's been doing great so far, so I'd love to see what he has in store for me in the future... Thank you to the faithful followers who have stuck by my side supporting me through everything! If not for you guys I wouldn't do the things that I do. Stay tuned, I have a lot more in store for you guys...
... until next time!
