name='more'\u003E\u003C\/a\u003EHello \u003Ci\u003Etwenty-eighteen\u003C\/i\u003E! I still can't believe we are already in a brand new year and halfway through the new month. I've already said it one too many times that\u0026nbsp;twenty-seventeen\u0026nbsp;was such an insane year filled with a lot of struggles, tears, and happiness. I also managed to accomplish a lot of things that had been on my todo list for some time. I feel like twenty-seventeen was the year that my blog really grew! I became a bit more outgoing and did more adventuring with Rudy visiting new places. We moved two states away and got married. It sure was a very \u003Ci\u003Ewow\u003C\/i\u003E\u0026nbsp;of a year.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nI just wanted to quickly add that I'm very proud of myself for staying optimistic no matter what life threw at me. I feel like that was the main thing that seriously helped me get through the year. I've mentioned it plenty of times how I felt something great was going to happen in\u0026nbsp;twenty-seventeen, and so many things really did. I have that same feeling times ten for\u0026nbsp;twenty-eighteen and I'm so excited to see what this year has in store for us.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nAnd now, for my first post in the new year I'd like to share with you some of the goals I have for \u003Ci\u003E2018\u003C\/i\u003E, and let's hope I am able to get them all checked out!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Ci\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cu\u003E\u003Ci\u003E01. Take Wedding Photos!\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/u\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nSince Rudy and I eloped I didn't buy a wedding dress and we didn't get wedding photos taken, well not professional ones. I'm determined to find a nice dress hopefully within the next few months, a photographer (maybe a friend or someone local) and take professional wedding photos. I really want to make sure this is something I have to remember such a meaningful day and of course so that we can hang in our house one day. I hope we can get this done around Springtime, I want it to be nice weather and no rain. If that doesn't work out I was even thinking maybe to do this around our one year anniversary. That would be such a neat way for us to celebrate our first year of marriage.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Ci\u003E\u003Cu\u003E02. Eat cleaner!\u003C\/u\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nLast year was the year I ate the absolute healthiest in my life. A huge accomplishment for me that's for sure. I learned how to cook so many delicious and healthy recipes. I also learned so much more about cooking and it's something I really enjoy doing. Every once in a while Rudy and I enjoy eating out and that's a treat for us. This year I want to try eating even healthier\/cleaner than last year along with trying to cut out some not so great foods such as sweets (my guilty pleasure). I want to find healthier options for a lot of items I currently use to cook with. I love following \u003Ci\u003ETasty\u003C\/i\u003E and \u003Ci\u003EDelish\u003C\/i\u003E to discover new recipes for me to try out especially since they're super simple to make and most times healthy too. I would also love to introduce some new veggies into my diet, you can never have too many vegetables!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Ci\u003E\u003Cu\u003E03. Buy A House!\u003C\/u\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nThis should probably be number one on my list... Mine and Rudy's dream is to buy our own home this year. Rudy and I moved to Washington for a better life and because the living cost here is a lot cheaper than it is in California. I don't want to say a lot regarding this nor do I want to jinx anything. I guess what I'm trying to say is everything happens for a reason and I just hope everything works out for us. I'm feeling very hopeful about\u0026nbsp;the future and once again I'm looking forward to where this year will take us.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Ci\u003E\u003Cu\u003E04. Save money and spend less!\u003C\/u\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nI always try to accomplish this goal. This year I want to try my absolute hardest to always ask myself if I need something before purchasing it. I've been really good lately to not impulse buy everything I see insight. Ever since reading 'The Curated Closet' book last spring it has really changed the way I buy things especially clothing. I try to remember to ask myself; \"do I really need this?\" \"Yes, it is cute but how often will I actually wear it?\". Asking myself these questions always helps with my decision to purchase something or not also with not wasting money either. Everything and every piece of clothing I now buy get tons of use.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cu\u003E\u003Ci\u003E05. Read more books!\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/u\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nI've never been a big reader type of girl until the last couple of years. If I come across a book that really catches my eye I become obsessed with it and usually finish it in less than a week. Towards the middle-end of 2017, I was reading less and less with everything that was going on before and after my move. Now I find myself missing having a good book in my life. When I lived back home I loved going to Barnes \u0026amp; Noble with Rudy walking around for hours looking for new books to purchase. I need to do this again! First, I need to write down a list of potential books to buy, I've been wanting to pick up some cookbooks. I enjoy trying out new recipes whether it be for dinner or some kind of dessert. I also realized that I don't really own any cookbooks. Plus I need to find ways to keep me busy and off of the web '\u003Ci\u003Esocial media\u003C\/i\u003E' more.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Ci\u003E\u003Cu\u003E6. Explore more of Washington!\u003C\/u\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nEven though I have been living in the PNW for five months now, (\u003Ci\u003Ewow!\u003C\/i\u003E) there are still so many places I'd love to visit. Rudy and I have been discovering a ton of new coffee shops, bakeries, and restaurants there are still so many other places we need to see. I want to do more sightseeing and visit small towns. I know in the springtime there's a place that holds a Tulip Festival that my sister+brother in law took my niece to last year and that looked absolutely beautiful. I definitely want to visit it this year along with some nursery gardens. I also want to explore more of Seattle! Go on the space needle and visit the Seattle Troll bridge, I know Rudy has been wanting to check that out.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Ci\u003E\u003Cu\u003E7. Buy home pieces!\u003C\/u\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nLast year I fell in love with interiors. I had so much fun buying pieces for my room and styling it. I'm so excited to begin buying pieces for my home. I've already picked up some small pieces here and there. Eventually, I will have an entire house to\u0026nbsp;buy things for and style! This is all so exciting to think of, I've even created a '\u003Ci\u003Eregistry\u003C\/i\u003E' if you will along with a \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/ohhjuliana\/wishlist\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003Ewishlist\u003C\/a\u003E board over on Pinterest. That way I can keep track of some items I want. Obviously, I won't be able to have everything styled within a week, these things take time and money. I just get so excited whenever looking at home items, seeing what I'd want and wouldn't want, and most of all daydreaming of all the possibilities. Maybe sometime in the future, I can do a home haul. What do you think?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cu\u003E\u003Ci\u003E8. Buckling down on blogging!\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/u\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nThis year I'd like to get a bit more serious with blogging. I'm very pleased with how blogging went last year. I had multiple offers for collabs and even sponsorships something I never had before. I would love to do some work with companies, brands, and even bloggers this year. I want to be more into blogging since I had a few breaks during the past year. I also want to put out different content, not exactly sure on what kind. I want my blog to be a mixture of things from my personal life with Rudy, adventure while we are out and about, skin care since I'm obsessed with it, and possibly even bring back some baking posts. Let me know what you guys think, I'm also considering some interior posts in the future.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cu\u003E\u003Ci\u003E9. Take more photos!\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/u\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nAt the end of December, I created a photo book over on the FreePrints \u003Cb\u003EPhotobooks\u003C\/b\u003E app, filled with photos from twenty-seventeen. I fell in love with the final product once I received it in the mail and it really inspired me to try and create one of each past years with Rudy. While I was trying to create them I realized that I don't have enough photos of us and things we do. I'm so horrible at organizing and saving old photos so I really want to change that. Putting photos into a physical book will make things so much easier for me. I am going to try and get as many photos throughout the year so that once the year is up I have so many options to choose from when I sit down to create the photo book of twenty-eighteen!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Ci\u003E\u003Cu\u003E10. Have Christmas in our own home!\u003C\/u\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nI have always been so used to spending \u003Ci\u003Eall\u003C\/i\u003E Holidays with my family. It's something I've always enjoyed as a child even more now as an adult and getting to do that with Rudy. This was the first Christmas that I spent away from home and away from my family. It was bittersweet. If all goes well and we manage to get our own place this year, I'd love to have some of my family over for Christmas. It would be such an amazing way celebrating my favorite Holiday, with some of my favorite people, in a place Rudy and I purchased that is all ours. It's a dream of mine to one day be able to host Christmas at my own house. Also, any excuse to go all out on the Christmas decorations haha.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-CPsUxLwlQ-A\/Wl42hOt5jMI\/AAAAAAAAFOQ\/Iw2_qbfMKdEwog0efIgUj0g5q2fFkbnVwCLcBGAs\/s1600\/J-Star.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"52\" data-original-width=\"158\" src=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-CPsUxLwlQ-A\/Wl42hOt5jMI\/AAAAAAAAFOQ\/Iw2_qbfMKdEwog0efIgUj0g5q2fFkbnVwCLcBGAs\/s1600\/J-Star.png\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.ohhjuliana.com\/feeds\/6840017205799973546\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.ohhjuliana.com\/2018\/01\/2018-goals.html#comment-form","title":"6 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/400672302414468518\/posts\/default\/6840017205799973546"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/400672302414468518\/posts\/default\/6840017205799973546"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.ohhjuliana.com\/2018\/01\/2018-goals.html","title":"2018 Goals!"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Juliana "},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/09410637408830790715"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"24","height":"32","src":"\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEinw98N1LY4v8SvYbQE7_w8QZkoJjgkTZuMxaLciiTGhqEIOsYZtOXCNr7YQTC05lz_vPv4_jABDfn8oJ2giVQ_04s9i77G94gU9ZaprRtLepq-xmeSbo8krD2DNsPoZT0\/s113\/ACS_0224.JPG"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-zUPWOyGPKgU\/Wl5EGHagd7I\/AAAAAAAAFOg\/dhclFdEiKhwKJ_Pgdxvmr1RFGXqPIsCowCLcBGAs\/s72-c\/image1.jpeg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"6"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-400672302414468518.post-3374415266911206588"},"published":{"$t":"2017-01-03T14:41:00.000-08:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2017-03-28T09:45:57.905-07:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"New Years Resolutions"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"New Year, New Me"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Cdiv\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/-kuQQpmKmbBo\/WGwogABX9jI\/AAAAAAAADx0\/A507rjY6bvM\/s640\/blogger-image--1423176042.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/-kuQQpmKmbBo\/WGwogABX9jI\/AAAAAAAADx0\/A507rjY6bvM\/s640\/blogger-image--1423176042.jpg\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\nHappy 2017 everyone! It's a new year and you will all be hearing everyone repeatedly saying; \"new year, new me\". I know I'm guilty of saying this at least for this year I am, but for many people it's true. One of my new years resolutions from 2016 was to become more dedicated to my blog and this was probably my first new years resolution that I actually accomplished. Now that the new year has begun I want to share this post dedicated to some things that I would love to accomplish in 2017. (My New Years resolution!) That way you guys can call me out if I start to slip on any of these.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cb\u003EHealthy eating\u003C\/b\u003E is a given. Once the new year begins everyone says they want to start eating healthy and lets not forget about loosing weight. In 2016 I ate the healthiest I ever have in my life and it was surprisingly easy to do. I began cooking at home every single day and also started adding all kinds of vegetables to my diet. I used to never enjoy eating veggies and I now love them. Brussels Sprouts are a favorite of mine. I plan to continue eating healthy and want to try making each meal even more healthier. Also, I want to start adding more fruits to my diet which I already began doing the last week of December. I've been looking up all kinds of new and easy recipes for dinner, snacks, even different types of fruit smoothies that I can't wait to try out.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cb\u003ESaving money!\u003C\/b\u003E I tell myself every year that I am going to start saving money so that I can buy a home and hopefully move from San Jose. 2016 was a bit of a tough one for me but I have such high hopes for 2017. I am so determined to begin saving money for mine and Rudy's future I even want to start looking for a part time job to help. I'm feeling incredibly optimistic for this new year.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cb\u003EWorking out,\u003C\/b\u003E\u0026nbsp;a lot more. I'm always telling myself to be more active than I am. I try to go on walks with my dogs often (not so often recently due to this cold weather). Most of the time I enjoy going to the mall and I walk for an hour or more. Getting out of the house and going to stores motivates me to keep on moving. I also want to add more workouts to my daily routine that doesn't only consists of walks. I want to get back to lifting some weights to tone my arms again with toning other parts of my body. My goal has never been to get skinny but to be the healthiest I can be. I only have one body and I've been so into taking care of it as much as I possibly can. I also really want to begin going on hikes with Rudy hopefully when it starts to warm up and make it a weekly (or every two weeks...) maybe even a monthly type of thing. I've been really enjoying the outdoors.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cb\u003EMore traveling!\u003C\/b\u003E\u0026nbsp;2016 was definitely filled with lots and lots of trips, mainly to Disneyland. I've been wanting to visit new places outside of California and I was finally able to do so last year. As you may know Rudy and I went to Seattle in December and it was so much fun. I really want to go again and I also want to visit and explore lots of other new places. I love doing everything with Rudy and it's so much more fun experiencing new things together.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cb\u003ECruelty free brands only! \u003C\/b\u003ELast year\u0026nbsp;I slowly made the decision to begin buying from brands that are cruelty free. This year I no longer choose to support companies who test on animals and will only support and buy from the ones who are cruelty free. That means no more L'Oreal, Benefit Cosmetics, MAC, Makeup Forever the list goes on and on. I know this may be really tough to do so but I'm really proud of myself by already cutting ties with a lot of companies. I love my dogs they mean everything to me so I can never ever imagine them being hurt or tested on. All animals are innocent and defenseless. Just because they can't communicate with us with words doesn't mean they don't hurt or feel just like us. If we don't stand up and try to protect them who will? I'm not trying to tell you to make the same decision I made, and if you still choose to support certain brands that is totally fine I won't judge. This is just my choice. This \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/logicalharmony.net\/cruelty-free-vegan-brand-list\/\"\u003Eblog\u003C\/a\u003E actually really helped me a lot with knowing which brands are cruelty free and which ones to avoid. I highly recommend you checking it out.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cb\u003EWedding planning!\u003C\/b\u003E I would love it if 2017 will finally be the year that Rudy and I can plan our dream wedding together. In the past I always told myself if I were to get engaged I did not want a long engagement, a year tops. Now that I'm an adult I know things doesn't always go the way we \u0026nbsp;would like them to and I'm ok with that. I've been loving being engaged to Rudy and enjoying the engaged life. Whenever we do begin to plan our wedding I assume it will become a bit stressful and even hectic at times nonetheless an amazing experience. Us being able to relax and enjoy this time without all that excess stress has really been nice. I have so many ideas for our wedding in my mind, I've even created a few (private) boards on Pinterest to help and it's been so much fun putting all these things together. I think the theme of how I want my wedding to be will surprise a lot of people. I seriously can't wait to make all these ideas come to life, see them all in person, and of course share them with everyone.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cb\u003EYoutube videos?\u003C\/b\u003E I'm always having friends ask me when am I going to make more videos for Youtube. I've been conflicted with this and keep going back and fourth if I want to start that up again. I started to get some equipments to start filming again and never did. It would be fun to start doing videos again but honestly I just don't know what to film. I love blogging, my blog is my safe zone. I can get on here talk about anything and that's that. Making a video is so different and very intimidating. Once I hit publish it is out there for the world and for people to either enjoy and relate to me or to judge and criticize me. If you guys send me some ideas or requests on what to film maybe that will be a start. Then every once in a while I can film a video while still blogging.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cb\u003EBlog dedication-\u003C\/b\u003E I know my blog isn't huge or anything and I'm totally fine with that. I've said it many times before at the end of the day this blog is for me. This is where I can look back at everything I've done throughout the months and years, a diary filled of memories. Still I would love to keep it interesting for my readers so I want to also post about things you guys like. I'm always open to suggestions and love hearing what you guys think and would like to see next. \u0026nbsp;I don't know if I say this enough but if there is anything you guys would specifically like to see me talk about here feel free to let me know in the comments below or even through email. My email information can be found in my contact page. If you guys aren't sending me suggestions and would like to just talk you can always send me an email. I would seriously love to get to know more about my readers since you already know so much about me.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nWhat are some of you new years resolutions?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-rq1fb9wooHs\/WNqRtf79gdI\/AAAAAAAAEKI\/Bw-aI6sCUvEF9Ep2_H5YT6sBrewjtfIbwCLcB\/s1600\/xo2.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-rq1fb9wooHs\/WNqRtf79gdI\/AAAAAAAAEKI\/Bw-aI6sCUvEF9Ep2_H5YT6sBrewjtfIbwCLcB\/s1600\/xo2.png\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.ohhjuliana.com\/feeds\/3374415266911206588\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.ohhjuliana.com\/2017\/01\/new-year-new-me.html#comment-form","title":"6 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/400672302414468518\/posts\/default\/3374415266911206588"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/400672302414468518\/posts\/default\/3374415266911206588"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.ohhjuliana.com\/2017\/01\/new-year-new-me.html","title":"New Year, New Me"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Juliana "},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/09410637408830790715"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"24","height":"32","src":"\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEinw98N1LY4v8SvYbQE7_w8QZkoJjgkTZuMxaLciiTGhqEIOsYZtOXCNr7YQTC05lz_vPv4_jABDfn8oJ2giVQ_04s9i77G94gU9ZaprRtLepq-xmeSbo8krD2DNsPoZT0\/s113\/ACS_0224.JPG"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/-kuQQpmKmbBo\/WGwogABX9jI\/AAAAAAAADx0\/A507rjY6bvM\/s72-c\/blogger-image--1423176042.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"6"}}]}});
