2019 Resolutions

Cheers to the New Year!!
It's 2019 and that means digging into those resolutions!

I've shown you my vision board which has detailed goals and dreams for the upcoming year but let's talk resolutions! There are three main focuses I want to have for my resolutions which involve health, being less of a hermit and control. Too vague? Let's dig in!

Health has always been something I've been wanting to constantly improve, but this year I've gone through some interesting phases including healthy eating, not so healthy eating, getting sick constantly and finally starting to work out. I really want to focus on my health, and making sure I keep as consistent as possible! I found a new vitamin regiment that has been super helpful in preventing my reoccurring strep, sinus and ear infections, which is so amazing! So I'm definitely looking forward to continuing that and staying far, far away from clinics! But the tough thing for me has always been working out and being physically healthy. I am finally starting to appreciate the treadmill and although my workouts aren't exactly consistent- random AF- I've definitely been more active than before. I want to keep this up, and be consistent in 2019! I have a goal weight and I want to reach it!!!! Not to mention this will only go so far if I'm not more conscious of what I eat! I go through healthy phases throughout the year, but especially during the holidays I dig into the sweets! Once all the desert is gone, I want to make sure I eat healthier, and stay hydrated. These two aspects are so important to me and will help motivate the workouts too! *Hopefully*

Next up is my control. Some of you may know I tend to plan, a lot. Best case scenarios, worst case scenarios, varying timelines of my life, different paths I can take, etc. I like to plan as much as I can but I've found that there are positives and negatives to this. I need to balance what is really "controllable" and what isn't. Why make plans for ten years from now when I can't control tomorrow. The tough thing is letting go, allowing myself to roll with the punches, and choosing to not care. All things I suck at, and would rather not do. I wish I could plan everything out, but I can't and often times when I do it only leads to disappointment. So in 2019 I need to work on knowing where to focus my energy and my planning. My personal goals and achievements? I can control. When I move out? Too far, not in control right now (I'm still a student for anyone who doesn't know). I also need to let people control their own lives. I'm not exactly a control freak (ish) but I get stressed so easily thinking of a list of things that people around me should be doing, when it has no effect on my own life! I'm surrounded by adults who will live life however they choose and I need to do the same.

Finally! One of the things I tried REALLY hard on in 2018 was putting more effort into my social life and making sure not to disappear, during school especially. I think that even though I really did improve my social life in 2018 I want to DEFINITELY keep working on it. I want to maintain it and even push myself a little more. I tend to still avoid situations when possible, so I might make some kind of minimum. This sounds weird now. Okay, hypothetically, if I say I have to go out, or meet up with friends, etc. at least 3-4 times per month that sounds relatively easy. But when you factor in school, work and everyone's different schedules, that's not so easy. Also I tend to think of myself as uncool, which makes hanging out with cool people, so pretty much everyone to me, super intimidating. Maybe I should add: "Be less intimidated" to my vision board. *Added it!**

That's it for my resolutions babes! I'm so excited for the year ahead! If you haven't yet, follow me on Insta and Twitter @tiathingsblog!!!
Welcome to 2019, the year of TIA THINGS!

New Year Update!

 Hi Gems,  Wow it has been a while. The last time I wrote and published on here was in October which honestly feels like a lifetime. As the holidays came and went, we rang in the new year and I find myself thinking a lot about not only lessons learned this year but the direction I want to aim for when going into 2024.  As you may know if you follow my other platforms, I am getting married this year which feels surreal! It's been so far away for so long and here we are counting down less then a year! I also am so proud of Tia things on Instagram , TikTok and Youtube because I really have pushed myself to create more all while having fun! With all of this in mind, here are some of my goals going into 2024: 1. Have a life outside of wedding planning  Wedding planning has genuinely been so fun and even in the stress-inducing times, I would not change anything for the world. I am so proud of how much we have done, saved, planned, etc. as we put together our perfect day....

Furniture shopping

 Hey gems,  I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine as summer is approaching! We have been busy trying to pick out all the furniture for the new place. It has been quite a wild journey to get here so I thought I would take some time to review everything that has been going on! Firstly, my favourite store by far is Structube , it is my favourite place and has such a great variety of items but way less overwhelming then a big store like Ikea.  The first thing we picked is our dining table and chairs. The chairs are warm brown leather and the table has a fake live edge that I LOVE! This was the easiest item to choose by far! This is all in a warm theme and tones that will go well with the dark floors and cabinets. We also have been very budget conscious in the whole process and the table was a great price for a larger size so this was a no-brainer.  The next main items I picked out are decor because I had some very specific ideas like a gallery wall and big mirrors! We...

Low budget Fall (lockdown) date ideas

Hey gems! How is everyone doing? Recently I have had to get super creative when it comes to date nights especially with the new lockdown we are limited in where we can go. So of course date night often include walks because not only is it great to get fresh air but it helps with the mental components of being stuck inside. We get tired of them quick though and need to mix it up during the week so here is what I came up with! Turn TV into games: You can chose any show or movie you are watching and turn it into a game! For example, every time a certain character says their catch phrase you either take a bite, drink or do something silly that you both agree on! it can be something silly or answering any question! This basically gets as creative as you want to! Newlywed game (quiz) Basically any type of quizzing each other on how well you know each other! We did this with my sister and her boyfriend as a competition but it can be fun just between the two of you as well! This is super cute ...
