Happy Thursday!!!<br />
<br />
Today I want to do something a little different and just chat about this blog and why I started it. I am getting a lot more traffic on here and some new readers (welcome!) and since I actually haven't really done this type of post yet, I thought it's about time I do. Not only will reading the "why" behind this blog help you as readers when you are on here but every time I write out my brand mission + goals it always re-inspires and motivates me. It's a win-win. ;)<br />
<br />
So...<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Why Graciela?</b></span><br />
<br />
Well, first things first. The blog name. My name is Grace, not Graciela, but since I am part Latino I liked the idea of using a different variation of my name and Graciela is a Spanish variation of Grace. I love the elegant sound it has and it just sorta stuck.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPj05Ku2BF5HPLlbM3NeiZX-0Ha2YjrqnbU1XYcD-X3V0LhGYgFv324cxfiX_LKvjhmFDChLTUngj0iTWnqZOw0b5YkfQ7oaguMVs2zXhM8btff_WeVbcSRUjwF9giQ4f1VIBDSRwHm5M/s1600/Celine-Header.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="174" data-original-width="526" height="105" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPj05Ku2BF5HPLlbM3NeiZX-0Ha2YjrqnbU1XYcD-X3V0LhGYgFv324cxfiX_LKvjhmFDChLTUngj0iTWnqZOw0b5YkfQ7oaguMVs2zXhM8btff_WeVbcSRUjwF9giQ4f1VIBDSRwHm5M/s320/Celine-Header.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I've always loved fashion and follow some fabulous fashion blogs, and have always wanted to start a clothing line and do some modeling (like for fashion campaigns). When coming up with the idea for this blog, I knew fashion would be apart of it somehow, and occasionally I will share some style tips or some of the latest trends, because come on, girls love fashion and just feeling confident in their style and most of the time we can instantly bond over shoes. :) For example, when I'm out and I see a girl with either some cute shoes or some to die for handbag, I always compliment her and ask where she found them. That sparks an instant connection between us that often leads to a full conversation, all because of fashion!!<br />
<br />
When it comes to the blog I will at times talk fashion and what's on my fashion wishlist because more often than not fashion opens a door to more. Fashion is relatable and fun and I have found that it can be a bridge to lead to more conversations and real talk moments. Fashion can open the door.<br />
<br />
Beyond fashion, my brand goal has always been to provide value. I always get asked either by real-life friends or followers what does it mean to be a girlboss or how can they because they are in college or work full time or that they are only 16. Many think that to be a girlboss you have to start a company or blog or be an entrepreneur or be 30 years old and that is totally not the case!<br />
<br />
To me being a girlboss is learning to become the best version of yourself in all areas of life and going after your dream life. So if you are in college you can figure out what is important to you and give 110 %. If you are in a full-time job, you can figure out the areas of your life that are important to you and balance it out so that you are becoming your best self in all those areas. And if you are in high school, GIRL you have such a great opportunity being in that age group and pursuing a girlboss mindset. The world is waiting for your greatness.<br />
<br />
If you are a superstar in school or work but don't give time for working out or personal development time or family/friends or faith (or whatever your non-negotiables are) then I personally think it's difficult to be my best in one area if I'm not giving the time of day to another. Make sense?<br />
<br />
I'm not saying each of those areas has to be perfect and a finished project, but being a work in progress is better than nothing.<br />
<br />
This is where I want to fill the gap of providing relatable content. If you have questions on fashion, being a girlboss, personal development, what I use for skin care, real-life talk, quick recipes for an on the go lifestyle, literally whatever you want to know that is where <i>Graciela </i>blog comes in. You have crazy busy lives as aspiring girlbosses so sometimes you don't have time to research the latest trends or see what the best podcasts are currently or maybe you don't know where to start when it comes to creating a morning routine. Girl, I got you. These are the things I want to chat about and just help you with on your girlboss journey.<br />
<br />
<b>The mission of <i>Graciela </i>is for the everyday girl.</b> It's where women can come to be inspired to be the best version of themselves. <b><i>My goal with every post is to inspire women to find the ladyboss within herself and win in all areas of her life. </i></b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am super excited to share all the March content I have planned especially related to Women's History month! Talk to you in the next post! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Every successful person seems to agree on this one important factor: you need to visualize your future achievements not just in your mind, but on paper. Vision boards are one of the most powerful visualization tools to help you organize and embrace your goals.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>WHAT EXACTLY IS A VISION BOARD?</b></div>
<br />
A vision board is just a collection of vivid imagery that serves as a visual representation of things you want to achieve in your life. It helps you to envision what a fulfilling life may look like for you.<br />
If you've always wanted to make a vision board or maybe it's a new 2018 goal of yours but you have absolutely no idea where to start, then read on girl because this post is for you.<br />
<br />
Vision boards are one of the most powerful visualization tools to help you organize and embrace your goals. The activity itself requires you to actively seek out images and stimuli that can encourage you on a daily basis. The board gives you a chance to clearly lay out those general desires, and you can then turn those intangible emotions into real life goals and achievements. It can be materialistic, relational, spiritual, basically anything and everything you want in your life.<br />
<br />
<i>“Whether you look at it from a spiritual or scientific aspect, this world is a huge vision board. Everything that’s here is because it started as an image someone had in their mind,” </i>Lucinda Cross, motivational speaker, and vision board expert <a href="http://nypost.com/2015/03/14/the-woman-whos-made-a-career-out-of-vision-boards/" rel="nofollow">told the New York Post.</a> <i>“You want to call it a blueprint, or a business plan? Fine. But first, they had to think about it and draft it. So a vision board? It’s like selling our own ideas to ourselves,”</i> she said.<br />
<br />
I have always been one for as far back as I can remember who dreamt about what's ahead and would and still do write lists on what I what to achieve and what I want to do this year, next year, even 10 years from now. As I've gotten older my process has changed as I've come to learn the importance of having your dreams in front of you, not just in a list or on a board on Pinterest.<br />
<br />
Today we are going to talk about some actionable steps you can take to get started making your very own vision, dream, goal board or whatever you want to call it.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Vision Boards absolutely work; you have to have a vision and a plan to execute so that every step moves you in that vision... <b><i>Oprah Winfrey</i></b></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>HOW TO CREATE A VISION BOARD? </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
</div>
<b>1 | Create the right time & atmosphere </b><br />
Whether it's a whole afternoon, evening, or weekend, set aside some uninterrupted intentional dream building time. Once you have a time picked, you need to block out everything that is preventing you from really dreaming your life dreams and creating the authentic board that you deserve. So, turn on some of your favorite motivational music, or some Jazz or classical. Get yourself some coffee or tea, get cozy and just get REAL with yourself and your life.<br />
<b><br /></b> <b>2 | Ask yourself the 4 W's...WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHY</b><br />
<b>Why </b>are you putting this on your board?<br />
<b>What</b> would you do differently when you realize your goal?<br />
<b>What </b>dream would you pursue if time & money weren't an issue?<br />
<b>What </b>would you do for work? Or would you work?<br />
<b>Where </b>would you live?<br />
<b>What </b>would you wear?<br />
<b>Where </b>would you travel?<br />
<b>What </b>type of vehicle would you drive?<br />
<b>What</b> future do you want to provide for you & your family?<br />
<b>Who</b> would you help?<br />
<br />
You could also figure out your goals by using these 10 areas of life to guide you from Hal Elrod’s <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/cwdkuqcdsif">The Miracle Morning</a>.<br />
<ul>
<li>Family and friends</li>
<li>Personal growth and development</li>
<li>Spirituality</li>
<li>Finances</li>
<li>Career/business</li>
<li>Romance</li>
<li>Fun and recreation</li>
<li>Giving</li>
<li>Health and fitness</li>
<li>Physical environment</li>
</ul>
Whether you want to include all 10 of these areas is up to you but it gives you a really great idea of how to balance your goals.<br />
Lastly, ask yourself what type of timeline is this board going to represent, for example, is it short-term goals, like 1-2 years or more for overall long-term goals of what you want to accomplish in 5 years.<br />
<br />
<b>3 | Physical or digital </b><br />
There are two ways to go about making your board, you can do it either digitally or physically. I like and use both. If you do it electronically, you can make it your screen saver/background image on your devices. You could also take a picture of the physical one you make, save it and make it your background.<br />
<br />
I use a physical board to display my short term 2018 goals, and then I use a digital form to display my more long-term life goals.<br />
<br />
<b>A few digital options:</b><br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.dreamitalive.com/">Dream It Alive </a></li>
<li><a href="http://fototalisman.com/en">Fototalisman</a> </li>
<li>PowerPoint <i>-(this is where I make my dream slides)</i></li>
<li><a href="https://www.canva.com/">Canva </a><i>-(I made my screen saver + iPhone background here) </i></li>
<li>Adobe Illustrator</li>
<li>Photoshop</li>
<li>InDesign </li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Here are some screenshots from my dream slides which I created in PowerPoint. These are full of my long-term overall lifelong dreams. From travel to what I want for my future family to ministries & businesses I want to start. I also added some motivational music to the slides.</i></div>

<b>4 | Strategically and carefully choose images</b><br />
Make sure the images you chose are ones that speak to you emotionally, and you instantly get inspired when you see them. Try not to become involved in how the aesthetics of the pieces you choose; make certain you’re choosing them for inspiration and not because you think it will make your board look “cool.” Also, do not, NOT put something because you are afraid of what others will say. This is your board, your dreams, and really your life. If you have a dream engagement ring PUT IT ON THE BOARD. If you want to receive a big bonus at work PUT IT ON THE BOARD. If you want to get fit and toned, then put a photo of a fitness buff ON YOUR BOARD. What you see you become. So don't waste your time putting things on the board that are just trendy or what you think you should put on there. If it doesn't fuel your passion it won't come true, so don't pin it on the board.<br />
<br />
Go through magazines, Google, Pinterest, blogs, etc. Make sure your photos are congruent with your goals. Example, if you want to enter a certain career field, select photographs that represent what that career would mean to you. Same goes if you want to live a certain lifestyle, select photos that represent that life. Keep these<b> three</b> categories in mind when finding imagery:<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Visual </b>- picture, words or phrases to increase the emotional response you get from them.</li>
<li><b>Emotional </b>- each photo should bring a positive emotion to help fuel your passion every time you look at it. </li>
<li><b>Strategical </b>- locate your board where you will see it daily AND layout your images on the board in the best way that you will relate to. </li>
</ul>
<b>5 | Supplies</b><br />
Depending on how you want to put your board together, these are the typical supplies you will need:<br />
<ul>
<li>Cork or magnetic board</li>
<li>Contact, wrapping or patterned paper <i>(I found a palm-printed background image on Pinterest and just printed that off to use as my background paper. Super easy!) </i></li>
<li>Push pins or magnets <i>(depending on your board)</i></li>
</ul>
<b>6 | Appropriate placing of your board</b><br />
By placing your vision board in a place where you’ll see it every day, you’ll be forced to stare your dreams in the face daily which will help you to subconsciously take the appropriate actions to eventually accomplish what's on your board. If you don't want to display it on the fridge for everyone to see, then hang it in your bedroom, bathroom, or office. I find it far more powerful a tool if you can see the outcome of your ideal life in front of you, so I recommend having it somewhere that it can be a constant reminder of what you are working towards. <b><i>It doesn't matter where you put it as much as it matters that you use it. </i></b><br />
<br />
<b>7 | Use your vision board to ACTUALLY achieve your goals</b><br />
Creating the vision board, while a powerful motivator won’t help you to achieve that life if you don’t start to work on those goals. Use the images you have in front of you to create a plan of action to achieve them. For each specific goal that you have represented, work out what you need to do and by when you need to do it, in order to make it a reality. Don’t just let your goals become part of the furniture.<br />

<b><i>Welcome to the first post of 2018!</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wish we could have had an NYE blogger party full of champagne boomerangs, glitzy glam dresses, and Insta worthy photo booths. How fun would that be!?</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
This past year flew by whether we were ready for it to or not. Whether our goals were accomplished or not, January 1st still came. And that actually is exciting because EVERYONE no matter what you did or didn't accomplish, we all have a fresh slate of 365 opportunities in front of us.<br />
<br />
I am SO ready for this year and I already know it's going to be BIG, and crazy, and fun, and successful and most importantly, it's going to be significant.<br />
<br />
Goal posts are my favorite ones to write so I hope that as I share some pretty personal goals in this post, that they will inspire you to at least pick one goal that you can put your whole self into and come back January 1st, 2019 in a different place because you chose to bet on yourself today.<br />
<br />
I pretty much layed out the majority of my goals, and yes I decided to just be real and share numbers and specific goals because two reasons:<br />
<b>1.</b> Sharing goals has the ability to inspire others because they see how much their life can relate to the goals. It also helps to create belief in people because they see someone in a similar situation dreaming big.<br />
<b>2.</b> Sharing goals keeps you accountable because you literally just shared them with the world and so the pressure is on to basically put your money where your mouth is. :)<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I'm sure like myself, many of you are beginning to or have already been compiling a to-read list for the new year. Here is a list of must-read motivational books for female entrepreneurs, many of whom are on my reading list this year. </span></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">According to <a data-wpel-link="external" href="http://fortune.com/2016/02/29/women-entrepreneurs-success/" rel="noopener noreferrer external">Fortune Magazine</a>, nowadays successful women entrepreneurs are not only matching their male counterparts; in many ways, they’re outperforming them. A <a data-wpel-link="external" href="http://www.bnpparibas.com/en/news/bnp-paribas-global-entrepreneurs-report-2016" rel="noopener noreferrer external">study</a> of global entrepreneurs found that companies helmed by female entrepreneurs in 2016 had 13% higher revenues than those run by men, and finished 9% above the average for all entrepreneurs surveyed. Even with all this success, there is still SO much that we still need to learn in order to be in a position where we are effectively leading and educating others. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">These eighteen reads will keep you motivated, inspired, and aware of how ridiculous all of the excuses we make when pursuing our dreams!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">In a crazy, media distracted world, <i><a data-wpel-link="external" href="https://rstyle.me/n/cv545icdsif" rel="noopener noreferrer external">I Am That Girl</a> </i>explains that the important questions often get lost. Examples are of these questions are as follows: What’s your passion? What’s your purpose? Who do you want to be? With the support and avid advocacy of Hilary Duff, Kristen Bell, Sophia Bush, and a handful of other famous actresses-turned-girlbosses, Alexis Jones has built a career listening to and helping girls around the world figure out those questions in order to inspire them to think for themselves, speak their truth, and discover their true purpose.</span></span><br />

If he played by the rules, they said, he could enjoy everyone else’s version of middle-class success. But when he tried it their way, he hit rock bottom.<br /><br />Then he tried the opposite approach. He said NO to the haters and naysayers and said YES to his burning, outrageous, animal obsession.</span></span><span id="freeText12018432476202684022"><span id="freeText12018432476202684022"><span style="font-size: small;">Obsession made all of his wildest dreams come true.

There's just a certain vibe about winter that makes you want to snuggle
up under your favorite blanket, turn on Netflix, and hunker down with
hot coffee in your favorite Target mug. But...there's also something
about winter that can leave you feeling drowsy, blue, and just blah.</div>

<br />
<i><b>What is self-care?</b></i><br />
Simply put, I think self-care is loving yourself enough to invest in YOU so you can then invest in others.<br />
You can create a self-cae retreat from your home and today I wanted to share some of my favorite ways to easily practice self-care during the winter months. So, on those gloommy winter days when you're feeling dreary and uninspired, take a look at the following ideas below to treat yourself!<br />
<br />
<b>1 | Cozy playlist</b><br />
I personally think music is an essential ingredient for self-care. It creates a mood. It can create a real shift inside you because music soothes, uplifts, and can often connect us to memories. <a href="https://open.spotify.com/user/12130846495/playlist/1rpp3RwRkdnE4LNEvw5Cko" target="_blank">Here</a> is the link to my A.M. routine and self-care playlist. I am always adding new songs so follow along for all your self-care needs. :)<br />
<br />
<b>2 | Draw a bath & throw in a bath bomb</b><br />
Who doesn't love a bubble bath!! But obviously you need a more sophisticated version of a bubble bath so hello bath fizzies! I highly suggest getting some bath fizzies from <a href="https://www.frostingcompany.com/" target="_blank">Frosting Company</a> because <b>1</b>) they make them with natural and organic ingredients and <b>2</b>) portions of the proceeds are donated to help find a cure for childhood cancer.<br />
<br />
<b>3 | Inspirational podcasts</b><br />
As you go through your skincare routine or waiting as the coffee brews, pop on a podcast that will just feed your soul. There are many, many self-help podcasts for you to choose from, but below are just a couple to get you started.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/oprahs-supersoul-conversations/id1264843400?mt=2" target="_blank">Oprah's SuperSoul Conversations</a><br />
Awaken, discover and connect to the deeper meaning of the world around you with SuperSoul. Hear Oprah's personal selection of her interviews with thought-leaders, best-selling authors, spiritual luminaries, as well as health and wellness experts. All designed to light you up, guide you through life's big questions and help bring you one step closer to your best self.<br />

<b>4 | Make a pot of stovepot potpurri</b><br />
If you want to try something a little different other than the normal candles (plus save a good $25 from not buying candles), the stovetop potpurri is PERFECT! Basically you throw fruits, herbs and spices into a pot of boiling water to get the aromas going. You can literally make your home smell like a homemade baked apple pie, coffee house or a spring day.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Williams Sonoma Recipe</b></i><br />
2 lemons, sliced<br />
2 sprigs rosemary<br />
1 tbsp vanilla extract<br />
Fill a pot with water and simmer.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Coffee Cake Recipe</b></i><br />
2-4 cinnamon sticks<br />
Leftover coffee grounds (about 1 cup)<br />
1-2 tsp vanilla extract<br />
Fill a pot with water and simmer.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Christmas Recipe</b></i><br />
3-5 cinnamon sticks<br />
1 orange, sliced<br />
1-2 sprigs rosemary<br />
1 tbsp cloves<br />
1 cup fresh cranberries<br />
2 tsp nutmeg<br />
Fill a pot with water and simmer.<br />
<br />
<b>5 | Create a quote book</b><br />
In high school I can remember creating a book full of quotes and sayings that I thought were poetic, inspiring and just plain motivating. I would get quotes from literally anywhere; movies, books, song lyrics, speaker's, & bible verses. Just go for it. I loved going back and reading through all the quotes because often it would just take one verse or lyric to spark an idea, a blog post, or some long term goal.<br />
<b><br /></b> <b>6 | Create a vision board on Pinterest</b><br />
One of my favorite ways to clear my head and lift spirits is to just scroll through my bucket list/vision board (or my dream slides). Fill your board with anything that you are currently dreaming about or quotes and affirmations that are speaking to you. This will fill you up with positive things. So simple yet so powerful.<br />
<br />
<b>7 | Treat yo self with a fun monthly subscription </b><br />

Welcome to the final gift guide of the 2017 holiday season! It went by SO fast!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It always seems difficult to find gifts under $25 that are fun and exciting yet one's where you don't have to drop all the $$$ on. It can be a struggle because a lot of the items in this price range tend to be generic or just plain cheap quality. I feel like I've been bookmarking gifts to include in this guide since Halloween!! Stocking stuffers are my absolute favorite, probably more than the bigger Christmas gifts themselves. A lot of my Christmas morning memories growing up are of me opening up my stocking and one year in particular where I got a mango hand cream. I was over the moon with that lotion!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These under $25 stocking stuffers are sure to impress, and they’re not just great stocking stuffers for under $25; they’re great gifts – period. </div>

Well, this gift guide is long over-do but I guess computer problems can have that effect on bloggers. ;)<i> </i>Anyways, I've had a few requests for today's gift guide...I guess Mothers and sisters can be difficult to shop for! I would say whoever you are shopping for just don't overthink it...keep in mind their hobbies<i>,</i> and just try and take note of the little things that bring them joy. Those are the best gifts!<i><br /></i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Happy First Sunday of Advent!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I wanted to share my heart
with you all because this little blog is a place that I want you to be
able to come and just hear truth and be inspired whether it's about
being an authentic #LADYBOSS or my favorite devotionals.</div>
<a name='more'></a>This time of year can be CRAZY between holiday parties, travels, finals (shout-out to my college gals), lists upon lists of things to do and buy, and sometimes between all these fun good things we can forget to take time to slow down and remember the greatest good of all, <i>The Reason for the Season</i>. I know for me it's SO easy to get to December 25th and realize that I never stopped during these past four weeks to prepare my heart for this sacred season! <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Advent</b> is a whole lot more than waiting for Christmas, <b>Advent</b> is a whole lot more than preparing for Christmas — <b>Advent</b> is ultimately about preparing the way for the Light of Christ in a world dying for light.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>...This is a season to look for the light, to be the light, to be a Light Poker, poking holes in the dark and stoking an ardent flame of light — and to actually: <i>live light.</i></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span class="right">The brilliant are always the ones who simply live like light. - AnnVoskamp</span></i><i><span class="right"><b> </b></span></i></b></div>
</blockquote>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"></span><br />
<br />
<b>Listen to truth.</b><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Whether your jam is worship music, podcasts, audiobooks or a radio station, find something where you can hear truth and let just let that peace of God's presence seep into you. St. Augustine said that singing is praying twice...Turn it on while you are doing mindless tasks, working out, or driving. </span><br />
<i><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></i>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><i>My Advent Plan: </i>I absolutely love creating playlists, so of course my <a href="https://open.spotify.com/user/12130846495/playlist/0oyLSC2znuaC241DYDSL8B">Advent Spotify</a> will be on repeat this season. Also, I like to include in my devotion time or when I'm getting ready in the morning, a good podcast. Some favorites are: <i><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/proverbs-31-ministires/id757953988?mt=2">Everyday Life with Lysa Terkeurst</a>, <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/joyce-meyer-radio-podcast/id152564333?mt=2">Joyce Meyer Radio - Enjoying Everyday Life</a>, <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/do-something-beautiful/id1159764896?mt=2">Leah Darrow - Do something Beautiful</a>, <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/abiding-together-podcast/id1206416686?mt=2">Abiding Together with Lisa Brenninkmeyer</a>, <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/joel-osteen-podcast/id137254859?mt=2">Joel Osteen Podcast</a>, <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/love-good-podcast-jimmy-mitchell-build-culture-youve/id1069203335?mt=2">The Love Good with Jimmy Mitchell</a></i></span><br />
<br />
<b>Start with scripture.</b><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">During the holiday season, before your day gets away from you or before you fall asleep, spend 5-15 minutes in the Word. If you already struggle to set time aside to read the bible, use this season to get creative with how you choose to read the Word. Whether it's playing an audio version of the Bible, praying with a directed devotional or maybe even get a small group of friends together to do an Advent study. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><i>My Advent Plan: </i>This year, I am doing a study with <a href="http://shereadstruth.com/">She Reads Truth</a> and it begins today!! I absolutely love how easy it is to use the SRT app + it's just plain gorgeous. I would love to journey along this Advent season with you, so go download the SRT app and then purchase the <a href="https://www.shopshereadstruth.com/collections/advent-2017/products/advent-2017-study-book-she-reads-truth-pre-order?variant=43159254288">Advent 2017</a> study for $1.99!

<b>Be intentional. </b><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">It's easy to say yes to everything during the holiday's because everything is just so magical, but sometimes saying yes can cause more stress than joy. In the next couple days, set some time aside to determine your holiday priorities and say no to the things that will take away your peace and focus this season. <span style="font-weight: 400;">Choose the three to five things that are most important to you relationally and spiritually for the holidays.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><i>My Advent Plan: </i>This Advent season will be like a launchpad for 2018 in many ways, but one is the resolve to practice intentionality and balance. Intentionality with my time and then balance where I am intentional. This is not only applicable to my physical efforts, but also to my thought process. Being a Type A personality and having a brain that never shuts off, this is something that I feel really strong about and actually is a healthy habit for me to further develop. I want to take this holy season to be intentional with my thoughts which means sometimes shutting the think tank off and just letting my thoughts sit in silence and gratitude. I am always so thankful for these "still" moments because it's really in those times where I find all my creativity and peace of mind. </span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">This Advent, let's leave space for quiet and reflection, for prayer and praise—and seek closeness with Christ, which is the greatest gift of all.</span></span></i></div>

Happy Thanksgiving Eve!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm sure many of you today are traveling to be with family, doing lots of food prep and last minute shopping. Today I'll be heading to COSTCO to pick up the most important part of the Thanksgiving meal, Pumpkin Pie!! What about you do you prefer Pumpkin, Pecan or Apple pie?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If they haven't all ready, Christmas parties will soon start ramping up and your gift list is going to be all over the place trying to get the perfect gift to fit the theme at all the parties. A common party that you'll probably be attending at least once this holiday season is a white elephant party. Basically, the premise of a white elephant gift exchange is that you show up with one gift, draw numbers to see who goes first, and then let the opening begin. As every participant unwraps their gifts, they can steal away the other's newly acquired goods. Super fun and you really can bring whatever gift you would like. It could be a silly gift or it could be a really unique one that most would never think to gift. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Today's gift guide is probably my favorite so far because how can you go wrong with coffee or food!!! I got the munchies while writing up this post and had to restrain myself from consuming more than one cup of coffee. ;) Food themed gifts is a great opportunity to be unique in your gift giving and really make the recipient feel special and that you put a lot of thought into the gift. <i></i><br />

Happy Thanksgiving week friends!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know about you but I absolutely love experimenting with makeup products...basically, I'm a wannabe beauty guru hence the iconic IKEA drawers I included that every Youtuber and their mother has!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Beauty is such a great gift during the holidays — from makeup brushes to fragrances, eyeshadows to lipsticks — you can find affordable gifts or go for something luxe that your loved one wouldn’t typically buy for themselves. It's a great time for you to not only gift fun beauty products but you also have total freedom to ask for items that are out of your comfort zone so you can test out new products. </div>

A common new year goal of many is to get in shape and lead a healthier life. I personally think today's gift guide would be great for literally ANYONE, to encourage them to start 2018 on a health kick. These fitness gifts would also be highly loved by the friend who is always off to their favorite Soulcycle, Crossfit, Zumba, or weight class. Who doesn't love new leggings and cute sneakers!? Also, I was SO excited to come across <a href="https://www.sugarfina.com/green-juice-bears-large-bottle">green juice gummy bears</a>...hello 2017!!! This is such a fun unique gift to give to your fitness friend and family members!</div>

Happy Friday ladies!!! Wow, Black Friday is a WEEK from today! I feel like I just published my first gift guide on November 1st!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's gift guide is for that chica in your life who is always on top of the currents trends and is always the one you and your friends go to for fashion advice. Having to shop for someone who is obsessed with the latest fashion can sometimes be intimidating and challenging because there's SO much you could get for them. These are some great starting point items to get you going and crossing the fashionista off your Christmas shopping list. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Okay, ladies Thanksgiving is next week!! I guess you could say it's the official start of the Holiday season. No matter your age or whether you have a big family gathering, a Friendsgiving dinner, or a holiday soiree, bringing a hostess gift is <i>always</i> appropriate. It's the season to give to others and if someone is so kind to host a party, the least you can do is give a little something back. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A very common and classic hostess gift might be a nice candle or a quality hot chocolate mix. However, I've gathered a few more fun and unique, and still perfectly appropriate, gifts in this hostess guide. Who wouldn't love to receive some gourmet candy or a set of lavender lotion!?</div>

These are also some fun ideas to give as gifts to the Thanksgiving or holiday hostess! <br />

I am really excited to introduce today's gift guide because almost everyone knows or has a college girl in their life. There are so many things that I took for granted before I went to college like having my own bathroom or little things like being able to light a candle and have that whole cozy homey feel. One of the items that I want to give a special highlight is the <a href="https://pedipocketblanket.com/collections/shop/products/luscious-leopard">Pedi Pocket blanket</a> with a foot pocket. This is probably one of the best gifts for any college student because I know I found myself many nights in the library or even in my dorm where my legs and feet would get so cold and I would just want to curl up while studying. This will be college gals new BFF. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I definitely put myself in this gift guide and thought about what I would be ecstatic to receive as a gift and not have to worry about getting it myself. What seems like a small gift like makeup wipes will actually make any college girl SO happy! <i> </i></div>

Welcome to the second edition of the holiday gift guides!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's gift guide is for the person who's favorite place is home! Aka, homebody. This was honestly so fun to make and I totally wrote this while snuggled up in a plush blanket! ;) I think we all have a little homebody in all of us so really I think anyone would be thrilled to receive any of these cozy items. All cozy routines need to include a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Holiday-Romance-Collection-Movie-Pack/dp/B00DNLZRLU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1510089764&sr=8-3&keywords=hallmark+christmas+movie+collection">Hallmark movie</a>, because obviously. It also should include some <a href="https://www.amazon.com/YIHONG-Twinkling-Halloween-Thanksgiving-Christmas/dp/B071F4T9F9/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1510090265&sr=8-3&keywords=fairy+lights">low lights</a> or <a href="http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/p/relax---lavender-andamp-vanilla-3-wick-candle-023539201.html?cgid=3-wick-candles-promotion#start=36">candles</a>. And of course after you curl up with basically what feels like a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Tache-White-Ivory-Sherpa-Blanket/dp/B00F583SXS/ref=sr_1_18?s=bedbath&rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1509744236&sr=1-18&keywords=chunky+knit+blanket&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011">cloud</a>, you have to pour yourself a warm beverage, and the <a href="https://www.stashtea.com/products/dessert-teas-gift-collection">Stash dessert teas</a> are so decadently perfect. I don't know about you but I am totally ready for a movie night after this post! Also, I think I need to change everything on my Christmas list now!! </div>

Welcome to the first holiday post of the season! <i>(insert clapping hands emoji) </i> </div>
Throughout this month, I will be putting up multiple gift guides, each with a different theme so you can easily shop for the people in your life. You will also be seeing some Black Friday & Cyber Monday roundups. I have been wanting to introduce holiday gift guides on the blog for a couple Christmases now and with readers asking me for gift suggestions, I decided to just do it this year! Figuring out what to get everyone on your list and then researching where to get those gifts can be a very time-consuming process, especially if shopping isn't your favorite thing to do. So I am happy to announce that this holiday season you will be able to find the perfect makeup set for your beauty lover BFF, the sweetest deal for the foodie in your life and MUCH more!!!<br />
<br />
Today's gift guide is for the woman/women who is a complete girlboss - running a business, going to school, has a family and keeping it all balanced! It can be difficult coming up with ideas for gifts that will truly benefit the life of a girlboss. Every girlboss I know has a good amount of these items on their wishlist if they don't already have them. Your girlboss recipient will be so impressed when she unwraps a gift that matches her and her lifestyle so well. It's not just a gift to her but a silent "keep at it" "way to go" on your accomplishments thus far.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I hope this and the future gift guides can help you start crossing things off your list!</i></div>

Happy Friday!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Depending on where you live, you might have to pull out your winter coat pretty soon is you haven't already. Friends in the Midwest already had their first snowfall so coat season is in full swing for them. Then there's the Pacific NW where I've never really had to get big puffer jackets...the biggest coat that you really need here is a wool coat. Personal preference I guess. There is some ADORABLY chic outerwear this season and honestly, it was so hard to narrow down this roundup. ;)</div>

See, told you there are SO many cute coats right now! And all these are from stores like H&M and Forever 21 so they are affordable + trendy. SCORE! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been on a podcast obsession lately.I feel like they are becoming the new thing, even though they really aren't "knew". Podcasts are great to play in the background while cooking, cleaning, doing your makeup or just driving around. I don't listen to anything too heavy while writing blog posts, but I do turn them on while editing pictures and creating product collages.<br />
<br />
Here are my current favorites that you NEED to go listen too after reading this! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjDkLnc9aDXAhVH4GMKHfjoCMcQFggrMAE&url=https%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fus%2Fpodcast%2Fhow-i-built-this-with-guy-raz%2Fid1150510297%3Fmt%3D2&usg=AOvVaw2ZqeOhTTlt8m8wBR81Glqj"><b>How I Built This with Guy Raz</b></a> - Probably my most favorite podcast that I have ever dowloaded!!! I downloaded it beginning of this week and have listened to all the episodes already. It's basically going behind the scenes of the beginning days of today's top companies. I recommend the episodes of <i>Starbucks: Howard Schultz</i> and <i>Spanx: Sara Blakely</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjGks6I9qDXAhVR9WMKHUpxDrUQFggwMAE&url=https%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fus%2Fpodcast%2Fthe-brendon-show%2Fid821746377%3Fmt%3D2&usg=AOvVaw2Rck1RvEZg8kTYcnYYCACq">The Brendon Show</a> - </b>This podcast is great for a quick dose of inspiration to get you going. Brendon takes you behind the scenes of his week as a high-performance coach and shares his message on how we all can live, love and matter. I recommend the episode <i>Best Of 4 Pillars of High Performance</i>. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Since I just downloaded it I've only listened to a couple episodes, but they are so fun and insightful that I can't wait to listen to more. I recommend the episode <i>Singleness, Walking Through Valleys, and Love That Lasts</i>. In this episode, Alyssa gives a preview to a chapter in their new book.</div>

Happy November! The last couple of weeks gratitude has been on my heart. It might be because it's Thanksgiving month or that waking up everyday there seems to be a tragedy somewhere in the world. <i>(update: I originally wrote this post before the attack in NYC yesterday. Please lift up all those involved in your prayers. Never take your days for granted)</i> Whatever the reason I wanted to do a little something to start getting us in the Thanksgiving spirit as well as maybe get us thinking of some New Year resolutions to adopt in 2018. I had the college girl, the busy 9-5 working women and even a mom on the go in mind when writing this post. Don't let your circumstances keep you from showing and experiencing gratitude this November. If there's a will there's a way, right!?<br />
<b></b><br />
<a name='more'></a>With that being said I tried to make this list "easy" and made them realistic enough so you could easily fit them in your day. <b></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>30 days of gratitude starts now!!!</b></div>
<br />
<b>November 1:</b> Start a gratitude journal and write three things you are thankful for each day. I downloaded the <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/five-minute-journal/id1062945251?mt=8">Five Minute Journal</a> app over the Summer and love that it provides you the opportunity to write three things in the morning as well as write three things before bed that you are grateful for from the day.<br />
<br />
<b>November 2:</b> Find a positive quote and share it too your social media. Invite those who see it share a quote of their own and invite their followers to do the same.<br />
<br />
<b>November 3:</b> Wake up early to make a special breakfast treat for your family, significant other, or roommate.<br />
<br />
<b>November 4: </b>Smile to all those you pass today. You never know the impact it could make on a stranger.<br />
<br />
<b>November 5</b>: Go for a walk, even if it's only for 10 minutes and admire your surroundings. Be thankful for the ability to get up anytime you want and just walk.<br />
<br />
<b>November 6:</b> Start with a grateful attitude this Monday and positively impact someone else's Monday by saying a quick hello to a stranger.<br />
<br />
<b>November 7: </b>Give a shoutout to a friend, family member, or favorite blogger on your social media thanking them for the impact they have made on you.<br />
<br />
<b>November 8: </b>Don't text, call a friend to catch up.<br />
<br />
<b>November 9: </b>Say thank you to the custodians and those who clean up after your mess. Stop and ask how their day is going.<br />
<br />
<b>November 10: </b>Leave an encouraging spontaneous note in a random spot for someone to find. Maybe in a library book or a body positivity note in a dressing room.<br />
<br />
<b>November 11: </b>It's Veteran's Day. Take some Starbucks, Pizza, Subway or any other food gift cards to your local Military recruiting center. What seems like the smallest gesture in the world compared to what they do, actually means the world to these brave men and women.<br />
<br />
<b>November 12: </b>Print off some coloring pages online and leave them at a doctor/dental office table for kids.<br />
<br />
<b>November 13: </b>Give a friend or family member a compliment that will make their day.<br />
<br />
<b>November 14: </b>While grabbing some lunch, instead of leaving to eat it in your car or sitting at a table on your phone, find someone who is eating alone and sit and eat lunch with them.<br />
<br />
<b>November 15: </b>Write an anonymous note to leave for a friend, family member, co-worker, or classmate letting them know what you admire in them.<br />
<br />
<b>November 16: </b>Go get coffee with a friend, roommate or co-worker just because.<br />
<br />
<b>November 17:</b> Ask a barista, retail worker, or waitress how their day is going. Be genuinely interested and offer encouragement.<br />
<br />
<b>November 18: </b>Write yourself a love letter and list all the things you admire about yourself.<br />
<b><br /></b> <b>November 19:</b> Pack some extra snacks or gift cards with you to give to someone less fortunate.<br />
<br />

No matter where you are in life or your career it's never too late to start implementing habits of success. You also don't have to wait for January 1st to make a lifestyle change. Start with where you are and the tools you have right now. Today I wanted to share some lifestyle adjustments that will positively affect your personal and professional life. Now, just because I am sharing 20 habits that doesn't mean you need to start out with all 20. I actually hope you don't use them all at once but would rather take 2-4 habits and start implementing them for a month before adding more into your life. <b><br /></b><br />
<b></b><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b>1. Recite affirmations daily. </b><br />
Negativity is easy to find in this world. But if you want to make a
change in your life, you first have to start with your thought process.
You have to reprogram the way you think. What are you telling yourself
daily. Negative self-talk can be a roadblock to doing your best,
pursuing your dreams, and enjoying life. Repeat 3-5 positive affirmations in the mirror every day. This will dramatically start improving your relationship with yourself.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Develop a morning routine. </b><br />
It's important to fill your cup before you can fill anyone else’s . The first couple hours of the day are crucial to the success of your day. Use this time for devotions, reading, and exercise.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Make your bed. </b><br />
By accomplishing the first task of the day successfully it will make you want to continue accomplishing your tasks throughout the day. Check out <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6OoCaGsz94">this</a> inspiring commencement speech by Navy Admiral McRaven on how you can change the world by making your bed. <br />
<br />
<b>4. Commit to reading one book a month. </b><br />
If you want to know how to constantly stay inspired, you have to keep filling yourself up with inspiration and new ideas. High achievers don’t just read anything. They are highly selective about
what they read, opting to be educated over being entertained. Instead
of filling their reading time with magazines and the hottest fictional
novel, they often choose biographies and autobiographies of other
successful people for guidance and inspiration. Oprah has called reading "her personal path to freedom."<br />
<br />
<b>5. Develop SMART action plans for your goals. </b><br />
Setting SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, timely) is the number one secret to measuring your progress and tracking activity so you are accomplishing your goals. <a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/201888">Entrepreneur</a> magazine advises, “Break your plan down into baby steps and attach a realistic deadline
to each step. Determine how to measure your progress; these measurements
will be your reality check. Then, define your investment. How much will
each step cost, in terms of dollars, time, research and energy? What
resources can you draw from and what additional resources will you need
to acquire?”<br />
<b><br />6. Practice gratitude. </b><br />
Gratitude is about being aware of all that is around you, good and bad. When you start practicing authentic gratitude then you can start to fully live out success in it's intended meaning and you can begin to live your life to the fullest. <br />
<br />
<b>7. Network with people outside your industry.</b><br />
Making connections in other industries broadens your horizons and exposes you to potential clients and referrals. Never underestimate the power of referrals and the power that comes from authentic networking. Your goal should be to have a contact in almost all fields and industries.<br />
<br />
<b>8. Celebrate milestones. </b><br />
No matter how big or small, you need to celebrate all your wins. Whether that's calling up a friend to tell them the good news or going out to dinner, it's all important. You should never be embarrassed to share your joy and progress. Bring others in and make them apart of your journey, by doing this you might inspire them to go after their own dreams. <br />
<b><br />9. Identify your personal and/or professional role model and reach out to them.</b><br />
Most successful people at some point in their life have had a mentor. According to <a data-wpel-link="external" href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/stevenberglas/2012/02/02/seven-reasons-most-people-need-a-mentor/3/#7b964cf5e670" rel="noopener noreferrer external" target="_blank" title="Forbes">Forbes</a>,
this is because they’re inspiring in the right ways, they can walk you
through the right doors, and they can become a legitimate source of
anxiety relief. They also know what it takes to succeed in your field. Identify who is your role model personally and professionally and reach out to them. LinkedIn is a great resource to start reaching out to potential mentors. Whether it's someone who has the job you hope to one day hold or just someone who inspires you, send them a LinkedIn message telling them how they have inspired you and ask for some advice. Once you’ve cultivated enough of a dialogue, ask if they would consider being your mentor. The worst they can say is no - and that just means maybe you weren't suppose to learn from them at this moment in time. But you will never know unless you reach out. <br />

<br />
<b>10. Create and regularly update your bucket list and vision board.</b><br />
The greatest habit you could adopt is that of vision/dream boards. It helps you to visualize your dream life and all that you hope to achieve. Keep yours close to were you can see it daily, whether that's in your office, above your bed, bathroom mirror, or fridge.<br />
<br />
<b>11. Always be learning. </b><br />
There's always someone to learn from or something new to learn. If you are the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room.<br />
<br />
<b>12. Take time for yourself. </b><br />
Burn out can happen so it's important that you block out time to breathe and refuel. Use this time to work on some of your hobbies. Maybe cooking, photography or just a good Netflix night. Know what's your go-to refueling activity.<br />
<br />
<b>13. Practice accepting compliments with "Thank You."</b><br />
It's so much healthier for all parties involved if you learn to accept compliments with a simple "thank you" instead of a negative "What are you talking about! I have no makeup on!" This will improve your own self-esteem and it will make those giving the compliments feel as though their feelings were validated and recognized.<br />
<br />
<b>14. Eliminate toxic influences. </b><br />
THIS. IS. SO. IMPORTANT. TO. LEARN. Whether it's online or in real life, you need to do what you have to in order to keep a life of positivity. Value your emotional and mental health by cutting ties with those relationships/friendships who find joy in being a negative force, bringing you down or being unnecessarily dramatic.<br />
<br />
<b>15. Establish a skincare routine. </b><br />
You only get one body and pair skin, so keeping it healthy and glowing should be of highest priority. That means taking makeup off at night, wearing sunscreen all year around, and using a serum. Negotiating is not an option when it comes to skincare. <br />
<br />
<b>16. Figure out your style sense.</b><br />
Do you feel most confident wearing classic black. Maybe you are more of a pattern and print type girl. Your twenties is an ideal time to figure out what you like to wear as well as what compliments you and your figure.<br />
<br />
<b>17. Stay hydrated.</b><br />
Create the habit of always keeping a water bottle by your side. Also, start drinking a glass before every meal. Adding some lemon juice is always a refreshing taste and makes drinking water just a little more fun. I guess a cute water bottle also helps ;)<br />

<br />
<b>18. Turn off phone notifications.</b><br />
Game changer to your productivity!!! I have recently decided to turn off ALL notification on my phone, excluding my text's and phone calls. I have found myself way more productive because I don't have the urge to constantly be checking the screen to read the notifications rolling in.<br />
<br />
<b>19. Become a person of edification. </b><br />
Our society seems to feed negativity and<b> </b>competition all around
us whether that be in real life or on social media. In a world that
seems to be obsessed with all things fake and filtered, you will become
the light to many women by bringing edification to every conversation
and relationship. This small act has the ability to transform lives.
From personal experience, women don't know how to compliment and uplift
other women without jealousy overriding their good act. Mastering the
art of edification can change lives because deep down, everyone craves
permission to thrive and everyone craves recognition...especially from
other women.<br />
<br />
<b>20. Practice self love & care. </b><br />
You can't give what you don't have. I think this rings true when it comes to self-love. How do you expect anyone to believe what you say if you first don't believe it yourself. <i>You</i> are the most important <em>person</em> in your life, so self-love should be the most important <em>love</em> of your life. <a data-wpel-link="external" href="http://www.lifehack.org/articles/communication/30-ways-practice-self-love-and-good-yourself.html" rel="noopener noreferrer external" target="_blank" title="Lifehack">Lifehack</a>
says it best: “It’s not about being self-absorbed or narcissistic, it’s
about getting in touch with ourselves, our well-being and our
happiness. We practice self-love so we can push through our limiting
beliefs and live a life that truly shines.”<br />
