The New Year is fast approaching. The New Year brings promise of  new start and new adventures. 
Resolutions are the hope to improve the quality of life and start over.
I've complied a list of How-Tos to help you create a resolution and stick to it.

1. What is your life's mission?

Heavy at first, I know, but ask yourself 'what is your purpose on Earth'
For example some people find purpose in educating,
building business, creating art etc.
What is your purpose ans write it down.

My mission is  to live and work creatively in art, fashion, film making, teaching, and philanthropy.   

2. Make a Five-Year plan.

This I found difficult. I am a here and now person so
looking ahead makes me nervous. But writing a five year plan is 
important because we all need to keep an eye on our future.
My five year plan includes
Improving the quality of my Blog
Starting my Freelance Business and
Traveling the World

3. Break it down even FURTHER

Break your Year 1 goal into 12-months (Jan, Feb, Mar)
It make the goal more manageable by breaking it down into smaller steps.
that is true with everything in life.
For example:
January apply for Study Abroad Scholarships
February: Update Portfolio 
March: Write everyday

4. Deadline

Deadlines create a end for the goal. Sometimes we just float along and say 
we'll get around to it sometime soon. But that time never comes. 
A due date or deadline is a MUST!!!
January apply for Study Abroad Scholarships (Due Feb. 1)
February: Update Portfolio (Due March 1)

5. Have Fun

It's not about the destination it's about the journey

SO what's your New Year's Resolution? Leave it in the comment section below!

Minimalistic Christmas Tree

Christmas is the most beautiful time of the year.

The Christmas lights, gift wrappings, bows, pine trees 

and baked goods.

 

The pine tree is no longer the tradition.

A lot small space renters use DIY Christmas 

Trees to add the Christmas spirit to their homes.

People use simple hangers with branches to 

potted pine tree plants. Listed below is the 

best DIY Christmas Trees I've found on the internet.

Cheap Last Minute Christmas Gifts

OH my God! How did Christmas sneak up on me again!
The pressure to give the perfect gift causes many to procrastinate
and others to totally  break.
I have a make-shift plan of perfect last minute gift.

Let me just start by saying purchasing anything online right
now is a bad idea. It will not arrive until after Christmas.
Trust me.

You're going to have to walk in the store and physically look
around.

Victoria Secret Fashion Show

Hello All,

Property of Victoria Secret

I am a HUGE fan of the Victoria Secret Fashion show.
I love every year how they plan a magnificent show.
The models are gorgeous, the musicians are popular.
But let's step back and give a round of applause for the designers.
Yes, the models are tall and hot but the people that design,
and create a theme for each model is a genius.

Each model has their own character, sporty, sexy, flirty or angelic.
The lingerie glistens, and shimmers as the models strut down the runway.
The Victoria Secret Fashion Show took place in Paris.
The city of high fashion a cuisine.
The designers had to bring their A-game this year.
There was no fear of bold colors and patterns. The models
also wore leather and lace.

I couldn't help but notice a pair of boots
previously seen on Kylie Jenner earlier in the
year.  The classic pink robe was worn by all the angels
backstage as they prepared for the show.

If you're a fan of VS Fashion show you can check out behind the scenes
