Conquering 2014

For 2014 I have decided to make it the best year yet. Why? This year is all about making things bigger and better, including my wardrobe. Every person has their favorite piece of clothing that they feel extremely confident in, right? The quote “give a girl the right pair of shoes, and she can conquer the world” fits 2014 perfectly because we’re all going to conquer something this year.

Think about New Year’s resolutions. Did you make one that you can actually stick to? Mine for a couple of years has been to get fit and tone up, so I go to the gym for three months and then stop for some reason. Sound familiar? Instead of making a huge resolution, you will never keep, try making smaller ones. I’ve made small ones that I know I will keep because it will help me out in the long run. For instance, have you been eyeing a certain purse or piece of jewelry from your favorite designer? Try finding a savings plan on Pinterest you can use, and buy it when you have enough. That will teach you how to be financially savvy and teach you how to persevere to get something you dream of.

You can also find deals online shopping too! I tend to use higher quality makeup like Urban Decay and Tarte, but being a college student, I cannot buy it all the time. I recently found a website that sends you stylish bags of makeup, hair products, and more for $10 each month. At Ipsy.com, you can receive full or trial sizes of brands you only dream of owning. How sweet is that? Being a makeup guru, I am so excited to receive my first bag next month! Think about how amazing it is to rock your favorite red lipstick or bold eyeliner. That confidence can help you soar. Who knows what you can achieve by simply feeling confident in your skin?

One trend I have recently seen that I am obsessed with is the cut-out ankle boots! The quote above fits perfectly with owning new shoes because the confidence you get from wearing your favorite shoes is amazing. You never realize how clothes, shoes, or beauty products can make ourselves feel more self-assured. “Conquering the world” means something different for everyone. Making a list of what you want to conquer this year, like applying for your dream job or buying a pair of shoes you love, will help you be more confident in your daily life. Checking off those things will make you feel extremely proud of yourself for sticking to your goals and accomplishing them. 2014 is going to be huge for all of us. You have to hold your head high and tell yourself, “you can do this.”

Just Believe,
