New Year, New You?

January 12, 2018 by Kara Krittenbrink | Leave a Comment

While I’m not typically one to wait til the beginning of a new year to make changes in my life, I do like how a new year gives you a clean slate and motivation! Instead of just focusing on what I want to change, I always want to focus on things I am doing that I want to keep up in the upcoming year! I think its good to remind myself that I am doing some good things for myself and to keep up with them as I make other changes. Most of my resolutions & habits revolve around self care! I think it is so important to make yourself a priority and do things that are good for you and make yourself happy!


The rest of this month’s posts are going to be based of the below resolutions and habits I want to keep up.


3 Things I Will Continue Doing in 2018


1. Working Out – The last year and a half I have been in the most consistent routine of working out that I’ve ever had. I’m on the lookout for finding a new gym that I like that has strength training/cardio classes. I will keep up going 2-3 times per week but want to add going to a yoga class on the weekend as part of my weekly routine.



2. Keep Skincare a priority – Since I was a teenage I’ve always had some sort of skincare routine. As I got into my upper 20s I started to try new products and focus on what my skin needed. In the last year I really think I’ve put together a morning and night routine that works for me and my skin has been better for it. I’ll be posting an updated skincare routine soon!


3. Travel – There is really nothing that brings me as much joy as traveling! New places, experiences, people, food, views… I could go on forever! My goal each year is to travel to a new city that I have never been to before and I’ve done this for over 15 years! I have several trips already on the books for the year but still need to confirm my trip for a new destination.


3 Resolutions for 2018


1. Find a way to eat healthy that works for me – Although I’ve tried different diets, I firmly believe most of them aren’t sustainable. This month, I am doing a clean eating challenge. It is pretty restrictive but I’m 11 days in and honestly feel great. I’ve done several cleanses/ clean eating times and never had felt this great or had this much energy. I’m hoping this month will help me create some good habits that I can keep up!


2. Keep a Consistent Blog Schedule – I’ve shared a few times in the last year how I’m disappointed that I have not been as consistent at posting as I have been years before. Starting now you will see more content and hopefully soon a new look and some extra features on Everyday K!


3. Buy Smarter not More – I’ve started this a bit but I really want to focus on what I purchase in the next year. I want to make sure it is items that will last longer and really add to my wardrobe. I will spend more on these items but have them forever.


Every quarter I’ll be doing a check in to see how I am doing with each one of these things!




Are you making any resolutions or changes this year? If so, what are they?

One of the best gifts I’ve ever received is @sameheregirl making this appointment for me with @ever.inktattoo so I would finally get the tattoo I’ve wanted for years. While my mom was sick she wrote in a journal for me and shared stories, memories and advice! It is my most prized possession! She signed each entry, “Love, Mom” so I’ve always wanted that as a tattoo. Now that I have it, I cherish it as a way to remember her and include her in my life every day!
