I challenge myself to:

-$15 maximum spending money per day however I shall make a rule that unused money from 1 day can be used the another day so if I know I need $30 one day then just don't spend any money before. Make sure to not spend the maximum each day so I can make a deposit to savings or credit card every friday.

-Exercise everyday, swim at least 3 times per week, other days bike or walk for 1 hour.

-weekly cleaning day (I'm kinda messy)

-Either draw or write everyday (something creative)

-Update blog weekly

-Pay more attention to eating healthy. Eat more fruits and vegetables, less processed food.

I'm in again! The last round was a great motivator for me. :)

This time, I challenge myself to:

  • COMPLETELY declutter my desk area. This sounds simple, but if you saw my desk, you would understand...
  • get to listing things on Etsy
  • exercise at least 3x week, min. 30mins each time
  • continue working on my craft supply organization
  • create something each day (even if it's small, like an inchie)
  • try at least one new recipe each week

I'm in again as well. Here are my challenges:

  • To continue the deep cleaning of my apartment so I don't suffer from CHAOS any longer
  • To put aside $50 a week into my ING account
  • To update my blog at least every other day
  • To keep my Goodreads as soon as I'm finished with a new book
  • To rate as soon as items come n rather than once a week.

Here's hoping I'll be able to succeed better this time than the last time! :)

Hello! This month's challenge (and I really adore this swap!) is:

  1. Exercise once a week (and maybe seek a trainer for some professional help)
  2. Try not to eat junk food a sugar by the mountain full at least six days a week.
  3. Finish my holiday shopping before December 11th.
  4. Deep clean my house (still a goal from last swap).
  5. Try to improve my time management skills.

Have a fun swap and good luck everyone! <3
