July Small Goals!

Here's what I made happen this month:

1. Finish redoing my bedroom. This is a victory because the carpet is in, the walls are painted, the closet is done (and I've moved back into it), and the full-length mirror is hung up! I'll show off the finished headboard very soon...

2. Go back to the gym. *hysterical laughter* I went on an ill-fated bike ride that led to my whole ankle growing a new ankle...so I've been avoiding running so I don't re-injure it. Also I've been building a headboard in my spare time. I haven't had much spare time left!

3. Be nice to myself. I've been better at this. It will be an ongoing struggle, I think. I've kept up with Headspace, too!

4. Go to a movie at the drive-in. Heh. Nope.

5. Sort through and donate clothes. This was a win. I still need to go through winter clothes (I put them away for summer without looking at them much), but spring/summer is done!

Well. I managed three of the five. That's...something. It is only my first month doing this, so I'm cutting my Type A-self some slack. And here's what I'm planning for July...

1. Celebrate my mother's birthday (and mine). This means shopping for a present for Mum and arranging a fun celebration for her. Also sitting back and letting other people do that for me, which I am okay with.

2. GO BACK TO THE GYM. That is all.

3. Buy some more art / art supplies for my gallery wall. Crafting needs to happen to finish my wall decor, but I'm not making everything. I'm planning to spend some time on Society6 to round off the gallery wall!

4. Go to a movie at the drive-in. Seriously though.

5. Sift through all the cosmetics and skin care I have accumulated, and pare that collection WAY down. I have too much stuff. Birchbox made my collection huge, and most of it is tiny samples. I need to use those samples up or send them packing. No one needs this much stuff.

6. Pick out some fancy-looking classics, then buy them. Yes. You read that right, I get to have to buy books. I have fancy bookends. And they need fancy books to go between them to make ART. I'm thinking some of these or these.
