Hi everyone! My name is Hannah, hailing from my blog Champagne Lifestyle on a Beer Budget. A big thank you to Julia for having me today! Julia and I are sorority sisters from halfway across the country…add our love for blogging and you get an insta-friendship! We felt it was perfect timing to go over some New Years Resolutions, but not the same old resolutions that everyone makes EVERY year…
“I wanna lose 5 pounds.” “I’m gonna eat really healthy.” “I’m gonna find my future husband.” “I’m going to only drink on Fridays.”
No one ever keeps those resolutions up past February…let’s get real. So here are some resolutions you can ACTUALLY keep.
1. Stop overspending. If you buy one thing, you should make a rule that you need to get rid of something else. I always pay with cash, never a credit card. Save the credit card for big-purchase necessity items that you KNOW you will pay off.
2. Play outdoors. Get outside, no matter where you live. I know I don’t spend enough time with mother nature.
3. Pay it forward. Pay someone else a compliment every.single.day. and see how it makes you feel.
4. Quit tanning beds for GOOD. I am guilty of a fake bake every now and then…but with one of my best friends just getting skin cancer, I’m quitting for good. Here is my favorite sunless tanner that doesn’t make you look like an oompa loompa:
5. Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for a reason. I find that when I eat a healthy breakfast, I’m less hungry at lunchtime. I keep a box of oatmeal at my work desk at all times. No excuses!
6. Take more bubble baths. Don’t knock it til you try it. Your favorite magazine, Mr. Bubble, candles, and a glass of red wine is the BEST way to spend some alone time, and my favorite way to unwind after work. You deserve it girl.
Thanks again Julia! And I love new friends, so don't be a stranger everyone!
xoxo,
Hannah

These are some of my favorite resolutions I have yet to hear. I need to add the not overspending and quitting tanning beds for good to my list. I'm guilty of going once or twice. Nothing too crazy, but I know I should not be going at all. Thanks so much for sharing!

I really need to spend more time outside and start eating breakfast again. I don't know why I stopped. Two years ago I gave up tanning for good and I've learned to embrace my paste!
Ok, these are some do-able resolutions. I like the idea of being more conscious of others and yourself through getting out in nature, paying compliments, and so on. Thanks for sharing!

I'm with Viviana, these are perfect, achieveable resolutions! I'm adding taking a dance class vs. "working out". I hate working out, but as a former dancer, it's my favorite way to stay in shape!
These are really great resolutions! I hope you keep them, because I can NEVER keep mine! So more power to you!
