Do It For Myself
I will smell better
I will cough less
I won’t have to worry about how smoking is ruining my health
I’ll have better sense of smell and taste
I’ll be able to run without feeling winded
No more feeling sick and ill after a smoke
No more trips to the store to buy a pack
Smoking develops wrinkles
It looks stupid
Be able to go on the pill without complications
I’ll have more energy
I’ll save more money
Lungs will turn black *yuck*
Develop health problems
Teeth will turn yellow
Clothes and room will turn yellow
Clothes and room will smell bad
It’s messy
It drains my energy
I’ll live longer
Regain control of my life
I want to get pregnant
Improve my chances of getting pregnant

No more weird convos with strangers who smokes as well

Whoa! I haven’t blogged in like months!!! Anyway, just wanted to say Happy New Year! Not much has happened since my last blog, but here’s a small rundown of what’s been going on… I voted in November and I’m proud to have Barak Obama as our next president… I’ve been added as part of a team full time at my work’s company… and with my raise, I’ve been shopping like there’s no tomorrow! With Victoria’s Secret semi-annual sale and other stores, how can I turn down a sale? I’m done experimenting with hair products trying to get the perfect curls and I’m back to using my flat iron… and I just turned 31 a few days ago :D

I have some things planned for the new year. One of them is to get a haircut. I feel that my hair is ready for a new, updated look. But before I do that, I want to cut 8 inches off and donate it to Pantene’s Beautiful Lengths. I didn’t purposely grow my hair out for the cause, but since my hair is long enough, I figured why not donate it. I’m sure in the end, I’d feel real good that I’ve done something nice!

There are a few other things that I’m planning on doing from my 101 Things in 1001 Days list. I’m not neglecting it, I just haven’t updated it when it needs to be updated. I do need to add more goals to the list. I welcome any suggestions. Quit smoking is my top priority, along with losing a few pounds and saving money for my future.

Thank you for reading and here’s to the new year!!! I hope it brings nothing but good things coming your way! ;)
