Plant a FREE Tree with Paul Mitchell #GreenTakeover


Green never goes out of style!!

Want to help make a huge difference?

Want to plant a tree without having to do the physical labor of actually planting that tree?

Paul Mitchell is on a mission to plant 500,000 trees by the end of 2016!  They have teamed up with Reforest Action and need your help!  Paul Mitchell is offering everyone a chance to plant a FREE tree to help them reach this goal!  All you have to do is go HERE, choose a country, and click select to plant the tree.  Then you must validate your entry either via Facebook or by creating a FREE account.  Basically it just wants to make sure you are a new user that hasn’t already planted a tree.  There are no fees or charges to participate.  All that is asked is to create a user name and provide your email address.  There are two options at the bottom to select to receive updates from Reforest Action and/or Paul Mitchell.  Neither is required or necessary to plant the FREE tree.  A confirmation email will be sent to the email address you provide, but nothing needs to be clicked on to validate plant.

Right now 113,000 trees have been planted in the United States and 23,000 trees have been planted in Guatemala – both countries have reached their goal and are now closed.  But your help is still needed!  Haiti and Peru have not reached their goal.


Here's how your participation makes a difference:

• Rainforest conservation
• Better health and nutrition
• Soil protection
• 0.3 tons of CO2 sequestered over 30 years per tree
• Additional revenues from year 7 of approximately $3,000/ha. In year 15, revenues will be approximately $7,000/ha and will be more than $15,000/ha 5 years later


Currently Paul Mitchell has planted 340,995 trees.  Please help them reach their 500,000 tree goal!

My New Year's Resolution Lists


Hi lovelies!  Hope your new year is starting off well.  I just finished writing my new year’s resolution list.  I am so excited to share with you my goals for 2016.

This year is going to be fabulous!  So fabulous I created two New Year’s Resolutions lists to help make this year – THE year!

There are so many goals I have this year on a personal and professional level.  Unfortunately, some of these goals weren’t met last year so they have been carried over to work on this year.  I’m trying to not look at them as a failure, but more as a second chance.  

This year’s personal goals focus mostly on fitness, health, organization, and spending more time with family and friends.  

This year’s blogging goals focus mostly on improving the quality and frequency of posts, updating the look, working with other bloggers, and more outreach with readers.


Here are my top 10 Personal New Year’s Resolutions:

  1. Reconnect with friends, spend more time together, and build a stronger relationship with them
  2. Make sure girls (Dolce and Adrina) get daily play/exercise
  3. Workout at least 3x a week
  4. Drink at least 3 bottles of water each day
  5. Drink at least 1 less diet soda a day
  6. Increase protein intake
  7. Decrease Starbucks outings and fast food binges
  8. Sync FB calendar to not miss friends bdays
  9. Organize storage items
  10. Finally set up X Box One and gaming area

Here are my top 10 Blogging New Year’s Resolutions:

  1. Take and post more pictures on Social Media
  2. Improve blog content and post frequency
  3. Test and post reviews of at least 3 products per week
  4. Connect with and increase readership numbers
  5. Host more giveaways
  6. Update the blog look
  7. Collaborate with other bloggers/Guest posts
  8. Post on additional blogging topics
  9. Attend a blogging convention
  10. Create email subscription

What do you think of my New Year’s Resolutions lists?  Do you make a New Year’s Resolutions list?  What goals are on your list this year?  How many things were you able to cross off your list last year?

Happy New Year!



Happy New Year!  Okay I know what you're thinking – yes, it’s February 1st not January 1st.  I am aware that I am technically a month late from the normal tradition.

I've always been a believer in New Year Resolutions.  I think it’s important for people to want to make positive changes in their lives.  Now I don’t think you have to wait for the New Year to make changes, but I do think it is a great time to reflect on your life and determine how your life can be better or fuller.

However, I feel like the month of January is swarmed with people trying to make those changes and often get off to either a rocky start or get easily discouraged.  It’s almost like a competition – who can lose the most weight, who will be the first to see results, who will complete their resolutions list first.  It gets to the point where I think people get confused and side tracked on what their resolutions truly meant.  It shouldn't be a competition with others.  If anything it should be a competition with yourself.  Your resolutions should be a list of items that improve your life, your family’s, and your community.

So over the past few years I thought I’d try something new; I would start my New Year’s Resolutions February 1st instead of like most of the world who starts on January 1st.  The extra month allows me to consider and construct a more refined resolutions list.  Plus, it gives me an extra month to finish all my leftover Christmas candy.  This late New Year’s Resolutions start has helped me stay on task and focus on the positive life changes I want to make.

Here are my top 10 New Year’s Resolutions:

1.    Workout at least 3x a week
2.    Reconnect with friends, spend more time together, and build a stronger relationship with them
3.    Talk to grandparents at least once a week
4.   Volunteer at least once a month
5.    Test and post reviews of at least 3 products a week
6.   Connect with and increase readership numbers
7.    Make sure girls [Dolce and Adrina] get daily play/exercise
8.   Drink at least one less [diet] soda a day
9.   Drink at least three bottles of water a day
10. Re-learn and practice French

What are your New Year’s Resolutions?  What do you think of the late start idea?
