September 2019 Resolution Update

I\’ve been hard-core procrastinating writing and posting my this resolution update. Why? Because I\’m incredibly hard on myself, and I feel like I failed a little bit in September. But then I remembered that they whole reason I post these is to keep myself accountable. We can\’t just ignore the times that we fail; we have to learn from them.

Goals Meals In September, I made Garlic Parmesan Mac and Cheese, and honestly, I didn\’t really like it. I will admit it tasted a lot better as left overs. You can see which meals I still have left to make by checking my board here!

Money & Shopping I spent so much money in September. Both on new and used items. But personally I feel like it\’s always September that I spent the most during. And honestly, I can\’t even tell you everything I bought.

Regarding the Earth I felt a little awful at the beginning of this month. I was in a little bit of a rough spot so I treated myself to a blouse and duster from Walmart, and some new undergarments from Hanky Panky and Solstice Intimates. While I intend on getting full use out of my Walmart purchases, I felt a little better about my undergarment purchases after I found out that Hanky Panky is actually a pretty ethical brand. Additionally solstice intimates are handmade as well. I\’ve also bought some other things that weren\’t used and it\’s been a lot more difficult to be so earth conscious living on campus. I haven\’t been able to compost either, which hurts my heart. (I just don\’t feel right burying my compost in Kent\’s perfectly manicured campus.

Reading By the end of September, I still hadn\’t finished the French kissing book, but I did spend a whole day downtown (while waiting for my car\’s oil to be changed) and I read a whole book while I waited. It was Ragged Alice by Gareth L. Powell. And it was really good, except the ending was confusing to say the least. I would recommend it, regardless! My Goodreads book challenge had increased to 5/15 by the end of the month.

The Blog I feel really good about where I\’m at with the blog right now. My only complaint is that it took me too long to convince myself to post September\’s resolution update – lol! And because I didn\’t want to keep posting without posting this so everything got a little backed up. What can I say though? I did this to myself!

Much Love,

Jacquelyn
