1// Washing my face at night... you're 28 now Sarah. Face the music.
2// Get a thicker skin... constructive criticism really isn't that bad
3// Have more confidence... I can really be my own worst critic
4// Be more creative... It gives an excuse for a messy apartment. Creative minds are rarely tidy
5// Attempt to be more tidy... But really, you're really messy, Sar.
6// Have a greater attention to detail... write things down, stay organized and prompt
7// Give more compliments... you never know what a small compliment can really do
8// Take the dang stairs... You're so lazy sometimes, Sar. Just take the stairs, ditch the elevator
9// Don't let the good ones get away... they are few and far between. Cherish them. 
10// Dream big... and then actually follow through
11// Smile more... I think this one will be easy and fun
12// Be a better listener... don't just sit ready to pounce on your next opportunity to speak
13// Remember people's names... dear lawwwwd I don't know how I'll do this
14// Pet the pups more... Don't just feed and walk them, give all of the pets to those fur babies
15// Watch more of the boyfriend's crappy dude movies, it'll make him happy to share that with you
16// Stop being so compulsive... with literally everything
17// Stop obsessing over things out of your control... because, hello, they are out of your control
18// Stay more up to date on current events... and not just what you learn from Facebook
19// Win final Jeopardy more often... Ok but I never ever win final Jeopardy
20// Stop obsessing over grammar...  If someone uses me when they should've used I, it'll be ok, Sar 
21// Spend more weekends on the couch... you've made up for lost time by now, stay in and cuddle
22// Start Saturday Sessions again... You used to enjoy it ya know!
23// Don't stop blogging... You love it, but take a break if you need to! Quality over quantity 
24// Buy less... invest more
25// Remember, you don't even like Fireball... pick something else
26// Work smarter... not harder. Well how about smarter and harder! You can rule the world!
27// Always be grateful for what you have... life is good. Don't ever forget that. 
28// Stay true to who you are... remember why you started in the first place
Ok 28. Bring it.

  14. SO much goodness in this post I can't handle it. First, HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Second, the Instagram pics of the dogs are always my favorite..sorry, too funny..straws, Starbucks cups..I love it. Third, I'm glad you shared all those old posts- a few I haven't read so that was awesome. Lastly, good list of goals..I especially like the Dream Big one ;) Have a great day!

  15. Happy Birthday! This is such a fun post.The Veenie straw photo makes me laugh every time I see it.

  16. Happiest Birthday of all time to you my dear!!!

    To help with future goal #1 - I swear by make-up wipes. When I am super lazy I use about 2 and then splash water on my face. (Lazy as in drinking all night, or just want to get to bed). Most times I will use them, to get all the make-up off, use the 2nd wipe to get off any left over make-up, and then I wash and moisturize my face for real (on the not so lazy days). If it makes you feel better I'm a decade older than you and i've only been doing this for about 2 years but I've seen a big difference in my face vs. not washing. AND... my pillow stays cleaner AND well... I can always now tell when I don't wash my face at night which is a downer but we only get one set of skin right?

  20. Happy birthday, girl friend! I am ashamed to admit that I did not follow your Instagram until our blogger loop yesterday, but I very much enjoyed seeing this recap of your life thorough pictures. Could Vee get any cuter?

  29. Happy Birthday Sarah!!

    I love all those posts too and yay for bringing back Saturday Sessions! Also, I learned recently that when you don't wash your face at night, you age 17 days!! now that's some motivation right there :)

  30. Happy Birthday, Sarah! I think it's wonderful that you have had such a great year and have so many wonderful memories. I promise, being in your late 20's isn't so bad. :) I also love all of your goals - and girl, washing my face at night is one of mine! Here is my trick - wash your face immediately when getting home from work. That way you won't be too tired to do it when it is actually bedtime. It has been working for me so far…when I do it. Lol.
