Good morning friends! I’m excited to share my 2019 goals with you and would love to hear what your goals are. Hopefully we can inspire each other to be our best in 2019.
Health and Fitness
My eating has been out of control lately, so I decided to sign up for Faster Way to Fat Loss which starts on Monday! I’m excited and a little nervous to start this program, because I’ll need to count my macros (fats, carbs, protein). Hopefully I’ll get a hand of it right away. The best part of this program is that it will help me to feel and look healthier in 7 weeks!
Carve Out More Time to Rest
I’m constantly working. So recently, I hired an assistant (who is so sweet) to help me with some of what happens in the background of Beautifully Seaside. She’s been a huge help! She’s smart and such a great worker! This allows me to spend more quality time with my family, which is my top priority along with taking good care of my health, as I mentioned before. Now, I’m able to sleep in on Saturdays!

With more time on my hands, thanks to my assistant, I should be able to pick up a book more often, especially the Bible. I’m looking for a great Bible study that I can do at home. If you know of one please share it!
Grow My Brand In New Ways
This is an exciting time for my brand, because I have some new things in store for 2019! I’m praying you will love it! This venture has actually been a dream of mine for years. I promise this project will be something beautiful for you, so make sure you’re sign up for my newsletters, because my subscribers will be the first to know.
Use Safer Beauty Products
You may remember that I started using a safer deodorant last spring and I absolutely love it. Then, a few weeks ago I started looking into using safe beauty products and found that Beautycounter was a great choice to dive into. So, I became a consultant right off the bat, because I believe my friends who highly recommend Beautycounter. I placed my first order and look forward to receiving the products soon to share with all of you! I ordered this lipstick in First Date, this lip gloss in azalea, this volumizing mascara, this satin powder blush in melon, and this essential brush collection. I’m thrilled to start my Beautycounter makeup collection with items that my makeup bag desperately needs. Shop them for yourself below!
1 Lip Gloss in Azalea / 2 Volumizing Mascara / 3 Satin Powder Blush in Melon / 4 Color Intense Lipstick in First Date / 5 Essential Brush Collection / 6 Body Butter in Citrus Mimosa / 7 Lip Gloss in Blush Shimmer / 8 Lip Gloss in Peony
I’m really excited to try out my new beauty buys from Beautycounter and hope you will enjoy them as well! The reviews are amazing for these safer beauty products.

Sounds very mysterious Desiree! I’m starting a new Priscilla Shirer study Tuesday. It’s called He Speaks To Me. I’ve done several of her other studies in the past and enjoyed everyone of them. Happy New Year!
I loved watching her in the War Room! I’m going to order one of her studies now. Thank you for the suggestion. Happy New Year to you! XOXOXO
Great goals for all of us. Happy New Year!
Thank you sweet Doreen! Happy New Year! XOXO
Do you use a self tanning lotion on your legs? They always look so perfectly tanned!
Hi Linda! You’re so sweet! No I don’t use self tanning lotion. I’m Puerto Rican with a mix of my Mom and Dad’s skin tone. My Dad is darker than me and my Mother is lighter, so I’m in the middle. 🙂
Happy, holy New Year! Your encouraging messages help me as well to get on board towards better health. I also look forward to the new fashions and the beauty tips you will share in 2019. Your blog always confirms to me that it’s great to be a girl! 💕
Yay! Thank you for visiting me and leaving such sweet messages! Have a beautiful 2019! XOXO
Excellent goals! I would also love to start using better/safer beauty products.
Thanks Kim! Yes, I’m really thrilled to start using Beautycounter this year! XO
Those are wonderful goals. I hesitate to make resolutions or goals because I feel discouraged if I don’t keep them all. I try to set a small goal for my self each morning. If it doesn’t work for me that day I try it again the next day. So excited to see what you have in store for us in 2019!
Such great advice Deb! You are so right and I totally agree with you! XOXO Happy New Year!
Those are great goals to start the year with. I pray that we all can focus more in our healthy and spiritual habits, so that we can be beautiful inside out 💖
Have a blessed New Year you too!!
Amen Maria! God is faithful to help us! XOXO Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! These are great goals, and are often the ones I set as well. I am so happy to hear you found a great assistant to help you out! I never knew how you managed to do it all with a full time job and a busy family!! This should help you tremendously!! Blessings to you guys in 2019! Love, MI.
Yes, it’s been such a blessing to have her help and a big answered prayer! Happy New Year to you! XOXO
Hi and happy new year!! I will check out the beauty products. Thanks for sharing!
Our Bible study is going to start Kelly Minter’s, No Other Gods. We’ve done one of her other books and enjoyed it. 🙂
Thank you Missi! I’ll have to check that one out! Thank you for sharing! Happy New Year!
