Year in Review

Two thousand and fourteen was a year that I will never forget. I graduated for {maybe} the last time, took the trip of a lifetime to Europe with B, started my career and really concentrated on maintaining a more healthy lifestyle. I am forever grateful for the goals I wrote down in my notebook last January first as they truly shaped my year. I'm not saying I stuck with them day in and out, but I made the effort to hold them true.

Seriously- thank you again for following along on my little P&P journey. This idea of this blog, that started in my university computer course, has turned into the ultimate creative channel for me, and I hope it fills you with incessant inspiration for your everyday.  I wish you the most fabulous year filled with new and exciting adventures, endless love and complete happiness!

Clarity

One of my favourite things to do when starting a new year is to get organized. This year I made the move to a reusable day planner which I am very excited about. It's a compact size, has a place to put a pen or pencil, and did I mention the theme is travel?! Oh, and it's in true KSNY style- polka dots and all. Getting organized for the new year (and term) is vital for me to increase productivity and enhance clarity, so I really need to take a day or so to refocus and plan this next stretch. I can't be the only one that gets anxious if things get too disorganized or chaotic! 

Do you have any tips on how to start a new year on the right foot?

Goodbye 2013, Hello 2014!

My, my, my... where has the time gone! I can't believe we are already saying goodbye to 2013 and are about to start a new year. I know it happens on the same day every year, but it sort of tends to sneak up on me! And I probably say this every year, but this past year has felt like the best one yet (graduating from university and deciding to chop off my hair definitely top the list)!  Two thousand and fourteen sounds like a good year, doesn't it? I am already looking forward to graduating again (but hopefully for the last time), going on an European adventure, and starting my career! So bring it on 2014! 

In the meantime I am reflecting on my most dearest moments, and the word thankful is not enough to describe how I feel about this year! Here are some my favourite moments, on and off the blog. 

Thank you so, so much for reading and following along on my Pastels and Pastries journey! Exciting things are to come.
