September Goals

Happy Labor Day! Wow, can you believe that it's September? I'm so excited because Fall and Halloween is almost here! Today I'm going to share a recap of my goals for August as well as share my new goals for September.


Recap of my August Goals

  • Read 1 book: I actually read three books this month. I read The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. The ending to the story always makes me emotional. I also read Women in Sports by Rachel Ignotofsky. This was such an amazing book and I highly recommend it. I also read Pillow Thoughts by Courtney Peppernell. 
  • Make 5 new cards: I made five cards and love how they turned out.
  • Pitch at least 1 brand a week: I did pitch to a couple of brands and applied to a few design teams. I'm still waiting to hear back from a couple of brands, but at least I tried to pitch a few brands.
  • Practice painting: I'm currently reading Everyday Watercolor by Jenna Rainey and have been following the prompts in the book. There are 30 prompts in the book and I have been working on one prompt a day. 
  • Exercise more: This was a success, but I can definitely improve. I went to the Silver Comet Trail and loved it! I plan to visit again very soon.

September Goals

  • Try 2 new recipes
  • Post 15 blog posts
  • Read 2 books
  • Exercise two days a week

What are your goals for September?

Thanks for visiting!

Until next time...

    Nice job with August! You got to everything on your list, which is fantastic! I'm hoping to get more blog posts done this month, and finally clean out my closet.

      Thank you Shann! I'm actually a bit surprised that I did considering that it was a very busy month. Good luck on your goals.

    Well done on ticking off your goals for August. That is great that you are painting - must be very relaxing.
    My goals for September also involve exercising twice a week, reading more, blogging and trying 1 new recipe :)
