Happy Friday guys… and I should also add Happy New Year! This is my first blog post for 2022!
It has taken me a while to get back on track after a busy November and December. I took some time off the blog to focus on other projects as well as my loved ones.
On January 1st, I also decided to take the month off to focus on myself- to reflect on what I learned throughout 2021. I felt the need to self-evaluate and to establish new (and much needed) routines, habits and boundaries that will help me achieve my goals throughout the year.
MY GUIDING WORDS

If you have been following me for a while, you know I do not believe in New Year Resolutions any more (you can read that juicy story HERE).
Instead, I have my Guiding Words. And let me tell you… what a difference this makes in your mental and emotional well-being! The guiding word (or words) you chose will serve to inspire and influence each aspect of your life you wish to change. Following this method has given me control and a different perspective on the things that happen in my life. It also means less pressure and less stress when it comes to the journey in achieving goals. And this in turn translates to a better, happier personal and professional life.
I also took the month of January to re-read Christine Carter’s THE SWEET SPOT- and boy, did it sink in this time around! All I can say is that this book is packed with smart advice that is easy to follow. Her knowledge, techniques and hard earned wisdom helped me establish those new routines I spoke about earlier and motivated me to find that “sweet spot”. It’s a game changer. Go grab it HERE or HERE (you’ll thank me later!).
After this break, I feel like a brand new person- more determined, more focused and more open to all that the Universe throws at me. I am ready to kick off the New Year with new content and projects. I am also eager to embark on new adventures and experiences, to learn and explore without fear and to allow myself to feel joy and pain and everything in between.
To help me navigate 2022, I will be following these three guiding words:
ROUTINES
INTENTION
CREATION
I am so excited for the year ahead and I hope you continue to join me for the journey. This blog will be a place that I will keep returning to each week and reconnect with you and share everything from my latest must-haves, to favourite lifestyle choices to entertaining in style.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to those of you that provided comments and helpful feedback over the last year and a half of this blog. I loved hearing from you! We are in a growing phase so if you have ideas on topics you’d like me to cover this year, let me know in the comments below or in my contact page HERE. If you have friends that would be interested in joining our family, please share and spread the love!
You can also find me on Instagram – we can chat over there, too.
I invite you to choose your Guiding Word for the year- live with purpose and create positive changes in your life.
All the best to you in 2022!
XO, Lala
