So Far, So Good

As both Anastasia and I both posted about the New Year, I feel like i shouldn't post anything more about it, yet here i am: Typing to my handful of readers about my upcoming plans

Honestly, 2013 was great for me: a lot of learning took place and continues to take place but I'm settling into a niche and I think I like that.

As for the new year, I have some big plans (my full list of resolutions will be posted soon). Some involve heath (better diet, exercise, drink more water, the usual), some involve school (stop procrastinating!), and a lot involve improving my overall lifestyle. 

I also am looking to post more of my daily outfits. Every day isn't perfect in terms of my outfits (read yoga pants and uggs  #guiltypleasure), but i'm certainly improving the style quality of my day-to-day attire. I also don't approve of just laying it out on the floor anymore. a) it's way to much work for what it ends up looking like and b) clothes are meant to be worn. Keep an eye out for those posts too.

One of the things I continue to notice around the web is that the more successful bloggers have mastered the art of social media, namely instagram. They always know what to take pictures of and how to present it. I continue to experiment and struggle, but one of my goals is to try to get social media down to a science; find some method to the madness.

In addition to the media training I'll be giving myself, I'd also like to see the blog as more than just an outlet for creativity. My goal is to get a few sponsors and hopefully be able to treat blogging as my occupation as well as one of my favorite hobbies. If anyone has any interest in doing blog swaps, sponsoring, etc... please contact us at thetwirlteam@gmail.com . We really would like to start branching out with blogging and trying new things. 

I also love interior design. Definitely not as much as style, but I miss not having any DIY home improvement projects as an extra outlet for my creativity. This year, I'm hoping to redo the bathroom that my brother and I share as well as my desk/office area. I'm craving some design projects and have some fabulous ideas in mind already! If any of you have any suggestions, please feel free to share and look out for those posts at some point this year as well.

Lastly, I'm looking to give myself a set beauty routine. I honestly don't wear that much makeup: mascara is dressing up. My routine has 2 components: pressed powder and eos. I never actually feel that I need much more. I want need to develop a non-makeup oriented beauty routine. Better skincare/moisturizing or somehow taking better care of my hair, etc... If one's skin is radiant and healthy, makeup isn't necessary (in my opinion...I am only 15 after all). Any skin/hair care must haves you think i should try?

Although my full list of resolutions is much more extensive, these little points are definitely my main goals. What do you have planned for 2014?
