A New Year

Yay! Fireworks!
As we go forth into 2011, tradition tells us that we need to make resolutions for this upcoming year. I was reading an article in Time that said the top ten most broken New Years resolutions. They included lose weight, eat healthy, save money, etc. If you'd like to take a gander at it click here.
I also read another article (I read a lot) in Vogue, written by editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, that said instead of making resolutions, she made a list of the things she is most excited for this year. I like this idea quite a bit better. I haven't made my list yet, because I've been a tad busy, but I know some of the things on it. I would definitely recommend trying this idea, because it's a new approach to a tired tradition. I have never kept any of my resolutions, let alone make very many. 
But enough about me, I wanted to talk about how I'm going to be changing my blog this year. I love my blog, even though I forget to write or get too busy, I absolutely adore writing it once I've started. I know I only have a handful of people who read it on a regular basis, and I really appreciate all the support and it makes me excited to know that people somewhat enjoy what I'm creating.
However, I get bored writing about my own take on things sometimes. I doubt my advice is all that useful, because I'm not an expert and therefore really am not that credible, I just talk about what I know. And unfortunately because I am a poor college student, I can not afford haute couture coming off the runways. I don't live in Beverly Hills, so I can't peruse Yves Saint Laurent or Chanel. Hell, Flagstaff doesn't even have a Nordstrom. 
So I'm going to try writing about something different. Something I can hopefully always be able to write about. Who knows, this could change in six months and  I will be trying to something different. But experimenting is fun. So, starting as soon as I'm settled back in school after winter break I am going to be chronicling my magazine experiences. I don't know if this is the best way to describe what I will be doing, but it will suit. I receive a few magazine subscriptions, and I can pick up a few more. But ultimately, my goal is to try and do the tutorials, the trends, and possibly the fitness routines located inside these magazine, and then writing about my experiences and what worked and what didn't work.
Are you so excited?!
Maybe not, but I am. 
Obviously, I wont be able to try all of them. I have limited resources. But I will do as much as I can. I also resolve to post more pictures, and not just ones I get from google. Ones of me doing the things I say I'm doing. Deal?
I just wanted to get you  excited for what is ahead!
I will get back to you in a week or two.
Au Revoir
