Birthday Resolutions! (3.5.13)

it's 1 month until my 30th B-day! this is the time of year i usually start making my B-Day resolutions, last year i didn't make any because i was planning our wedding :) so i need to go big this year! big 30 ya know! i also would like a big special present since it's a big special birthday but i doubt i will get anything big & special since i haven't worked in over a year :-/ anyways, on the the resolutions:

# 1. eat more raw, less processed foods! not saying zero processed foods, i love the convenience of processed foods but i know they are horrible for me, so i would like to cut back on those a good bit.

#2. use eye cream 2x a day... yes i know i should have been doing this already & i do but my face lotion on my eye area BUT i slack on the actually eye creams, they are expensive, it takes longer to open one extra container & i hate that whole "gently pat it on thing"... i need to get over that & do it anyway.

#3. drink more water... this seems to be on my list every year, last year i did really good for a while, drinking 90 oz of water everyday for several months but i'm slacking again... oops!

#4. switch to at least 50% decaf coffee. i LOVE coffee! as i have gotten older i feel like drinking the highly caffeinated kind makes my heart race from time to time, it might be anxiety attacks but i need to switch & see :)

#5. try to find a hairstyle that i like & can maintain... like a grown up! lol! my hair is long & all one length & has been for a very long time, its damaged & because of that i wear it pulled up 24/7. i need something more grown up that is easy to style, i like the look of "whispy side swept bangs" but i don't think i can cut them myself & i'm really scared to cut my hair on my own in general SO i'm gonna need some funding for this project. IF i were to actually get a real hairstyle going on i also have to think about the future trips to the salon to maintain it. i would LOVE to have a prettier color again (it's natural right now) but once again that takes a lot of $$ so maybe just a fresh new cut/style would be best.

#6. stop cussing so much. it's tacky, not that i want to stop 100% but i think 50% of the words that come out of my mouth are "bad words", i'd like to cut back ;-)

#7. keep up with my Bible verse time in the mornings & add a real Bible study book (or something like that) to my morning routine.

#8. i want to learn some pole combo's & chain tricks together. i can't do this one unless i get a taller pole. can't chain tricks on a 8ft pole... so IF i can get one i would love to do this :)

#9. start juicing! all i need is a juicer :)

#10. make my cleaning supplies & things i use on my body from natural stuff, i have started this a little bit but i want to "go all the way" & be chemical free for me & my little family. well, as much as possible.

i also want to do something special for my birthday & i have no idea what to do, i usually go get a massage but i don't think i will have the $100 to do that this year so i need something different, fun & memorable. i need to think & plan quick since i only have 30 days O_o
