Hopeful. This week I’m trying a new strategy! Each day I’m going to take at least one small step to organize my life.
MAC Soft Brown! I can wear it in the crease with everything.
This fluctuates often, but as of last week it’s been Chanel’s Tangerine Dream.
Bumble and Bumble’s Curl Conscious Nourishing Masque. It smells divine and totes gets my hair to behave.
Pretty well, but I could have used a couple more hours.
Bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios, a cup of orange/mango juice and coffee.
How to handle stress better and figure out a to-do list system that works for me.
Still in jammies for now… but my outfit for the day will be green cargo pants, a white long sleeve shirt and a brown and white knit sweater.
I’m ashamed to admit it, but it’s Love Touch by Rod Stewart.
Develop a work schedule or a to-do list and stick to it, buy some gum and houseplants, exercise every day because yesterday I tried on some pants and they were a little too snug — so NOT crackin’.
Hey, honeys! How are you feeling this morning? Take a second to check in. Just copy the empty list, and paste it with your answers in the comments.

Hey Karen and Karen too,
In regards to getting oranizated and staying on top of all of the stuff that floats through your head, I really recommend this training that I took.
http://www.effectiveedge.com/dev/efe/efew.nsf/site!readform&pg=prodGTEo
I took it through my work, if you work for one of the companies listed then you may be in luck, if not, then it looks like you can take the training on your own. It was one of the most helpful training classes I have ever taken – WARNING – it does require a bit of a change in habits, but it really gives you strong guidance in the right direction.
