Lifestyle | Monthly Goals - October

It is time to recap on September's goals and tell you all about my goals for october/the whole academical year.

So last month's goals :

1. Continue eating healthy.

I've been a good girl this month, eating healthy and taking my home made lunch to school :) I did actually went for fast food one time this week, but oh well, just once in a while isn't that bad ! My current eating routine makes me really happy and is actually all about eating smaller portions several times a day. It does the trick for me, because I'm happy with my body shape again :)

2. Get into a good exercise routine.

I've been a good girl in terms of exercise too ! My current exercise routine includes swimming, yoga and my weekend job (like seriously, this counts as a workout too !) On Monday I go swimming for about an hour and on Wednesday I have a one hour yoga class scheduled. I love these kinds of sports ! With swimming I don't feel sweaty afterwards which is a big win, it's very fresh and clean feeling plus it helps me to wind down at the end of the day. The kind of yoga class I attend is power yoga, which is basically toning your muscles while relaxing. Once again, after class I feel so relaxed and energized, it works wonders. I can tell you, at the end of the week I can definitely feel that I've been exercising more haha !

3. Be more concious with money.

I'm getting better and better at this ! Ever since I got a weekend job, I've been super concious about money. (Like my motivation to get up and go to work is seriously "Think of all the lipsticks and nail polishes you could buy !) I haven't been shopping in a while (not counting empty products that needed to be replaced...) and I think I'm going to treat myself very soon to a concious shopping trip in Brussels (If I manage to find some spare time in my busy busy schedule !)

4. Try to enjoy the last bits of summer, try not to worry too much !

I did enjoy my last weeks of summer so much ! I went on a trip to Barcelona and this was the ideal way to enjoy the last week before school to the fullest. We had an amazing time and when we came back, I felt completely ready to go back to uni !

5. Make sure you are well rested and prepared before school starts.

I was very well rested and prepared when school started three weeks ago, unfortunately right now I'm super tired and going on not that much sleep ... I have so much on my schedule these days and when it comes to choosing between doing less of the things I love or sleeping less ... sleeping loses ... I've been really busy for school (a lot of deadlines this semester), working weekends in a restaurant to earn some money, exercising, keeping up with vlogs and blogs, hanging out with friends and family ... it has been quite a month !

And then these are my goals for October (and actually for the entire academical year) !

1. Make a good schedule for school work and keep it up !

2. Be yourself; no matter what, where, when or whom.

3. Don't go shopping after class ! (Did that way too much last year)

4. Eat healthy, stay away from the vending machines !

5. Enjoy every moment of being a student !

6. Blog, blog, blog !

What are your goals for October?

Lifestyle | It's October

Towards the end of summer I kind of got into a more minimalistic and simplistic style after being into light-white styles for a while. My Tumblr was mainly white-beige-creme inspired, but ever since I started reblogging whatever were inspiring pictures to me, it dawned on me that my tastes had shifted. I changed my blogname from Vanillacreamlatte to Rev-euse, just because the name didn't quite suite the content anymore and I had the other name in mind for a very long time.

That said, the new direction and inspiration can be seen in this month's moodboard. A lot of black, white and brown in there and of course more autumnal inspiration than last month.

Every year towards the end of summer, my anxiety kicks in harder than ever and this year was no different. I had quite a few panickattacks to deal with and well, my moral has known better days. That's why I chose this quote, to remind me that only a positive attitude will take me to positive things and help me leave the negative behind :) I did have a really good talk with my chum last night and I feel like I'm getting out of my dark place, slowely but surely. I do feel like every low helps me understand this anxiety thing better and I do get up a little bit quicker every time. Positive things !

Have a wonderful October !

Love,

Kelly
