The Sweet Scent of New Year’s Resolutions!
Geez, this year has gone F-A-S-T. I’ve been so busy what with my new job, grad school, my etsy shop, and buying a house! I love using 43things to keep track of my goals and one of them was to make 2007 the best year of my life (so far). I’d have to say that I totally did that. Anyway, I saw Teri’s post and I thought some blog-related resolutions (and some miscellaneous fun) might be in order. So, without further ado……
1) Purchase at least 5 new samples, every month, from Luckyscent. I’m pretty picky, and when you smell as many scents as I do, it takes a LOT to be, as they say, Full Bottle Worthy (FBW).
2) Donate 10 items to the women’s shelter or other charity. I get a fair amount of unsolicited products to review. I do my best to try them all and let you know about the ones that are worth your money. Even so, I end up with way more stuff than I could ever use up, unless I ran an orphanarium or something. A lot of it goes to friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, and others who are truly grateful. But I hope that it’s a small gesture and can in some way eliminate even a tiny bit of the incredible pain that domestic abuse generates.
3) Learn more about natural, environmentally friendly, and organic products. I know, it’s all trendy now to be “green”. But for a damn good reason - if we don’t get with it and start thinking about how and what we consume, sooner or later we may really screw things up. I live a fairly environmentally friendly life as it is. But I don’t think for a minute that I’ve done enough, and I don’t get smug just because I ride the bus to work (it still uses gas) or put a compact fluorescent lightbulb on my porch.
Hm…that’s really a tall order right there. If I come up with more, I’ll be sure to post an addendum! :)
