February Monthly Goals


So I am a little late to the game in posting this blog…but that is ok! This blog will be quick because February is already half way over! Oops…

     1.I want to pre-blog and pre-film at least a week in advance- Work got crazy in January and I was not prepared for it! My blog and Youtube channel suffered from it. I am truly passionate about this so I need to truly put in the work. 

      2.Create a cleaning habit- I need to get in the habit of cleaning my house. This will help with my mental health and my physical health. Allergy season is upon us and cleaning the house consistently will help me tremendously.

      3.Declutter the clutter- I am one of those people…I read the book…The Life-changing Magic of   Tidying Up . I am thinking of creating a blog post just about this book. Actually, I will be doing a Declutter the Clutter series on both Youtube and the blog. Stay tuned!

      4.Budgeting- I am the WORST at saving my money. I see a sale and I am like buy it all. I see the dreaded words LIMITED EDITION and I literally lose my mind. I am currently looking into budgeting ideas, so let me know what you do!

      5.Exercise- I am a dancer so I do get exercise at my weekly rehearsal and when teach. It is not enough though. I was some muscle! This weekend I am going to by weights (I budgeted for it) and a medicine ball…I think they are called that…

There are my goals for February I feel that they are all attainable! What are yours? Let me know if the comments!
Thanks,
Amiee

Friday Obsession: Cleaning Community


Yay! It is Friday…finally! I hope you all have had a great week! I have for sure because I discovered a new community on Youtube and I am in love!!!

You may be wondering why I find cleaning videos so fantastic…because trust me I didn’t understand the hype either. Who finds cleaning actually enjoyable?! Well I won’t say I find it enjoyable I find it very therapeutic and fulfilling. Seriously! I have never been more motivated to clean, budget, declutter or DIY my entire life! I have started incorporating some tips and habits from the channels I have been watching and I already see a difference in my house! It is fun and easy! Not joking!

One of the main things I have started doing is Power Hour…this will change your life! This video idea was created by Style Mom XO and what you do is for one hour and one hour only you create a list of household chores and complete that list in one hour. No social media, no TV, no phone, nothing! It is awesome how much these ladies get done in one hour!

I had my first Power Hour this week and I accomplished a lot. My list of chores was wash sheets, wash towels, sort laundry, put away clean laundry, put away new clothes, clean fan, clean dishes and pick up the vanity. I was successful in about 95% of this. I also did not do this alone…Ezekiel doesn’t know this but my first Power Hour included him as well! He did all the dishes and loaded the dishwasher. The 5% I didn’t finish was picking up my vanity. I got distracted with my make up! *Signs of a true make up junkie*

Ok here are the ladies I have been obsessed with! Go check them out and tell them I sent you!

1.       Style Mom XO- I am obsessed with her!
2.       LoveMeg- Can we be friends?!  
3.       How Jen Does it- Seriously how does she do this?!
4.       ClutterBug- Please organize my life??
5.       Myka Stauffer- She is living my dream life…not even joking!
6.       Erica Lee- Can we also be friends?! 

Also I am tempted to included cleaning videos on my Youtube channel and on here once I establish a cleaning routine. Is this something you all would be interested in? Please let me know.

Thanks!
Amiee
