At the start of each new year, I like to make resolutions…some easy, some impossible and of course, the cliché ones. Last year I was able to work on one resolution that I know will definitely carry over to 2012 :)

Here’s a list of a few of my resolutions that I want to accomplish or work on throughout the year:

1. Reduce plastic consumption.
2. Take one day out of the month to make my own compound butters.
   • Jan. ✔
3. Learn to make fresh pasta noodles.
   • potato gnocchi ✔
4. Incorporate more fruits and veggies into my diet.
5. Eat less meat (that means bacon too…) :(
6. Last year my boyfriend turned me into a coffee drinker. A little sips here and there from his cup turned into a full cup for me…coffee kills my tummy and afterwards you can always find me curled into a ball plopped on a couch. That’s my boyfriend, the coffee pusher :). Bye bye Starbucks and Coffee Bean, no more coffee drinks for me this year!
   • Jan. ✔
7. Drink lots of water!
8. Start an exercise routine.
9. Bedazzle a shirt.
10. Save money and spend wisely. Sorry Nordstrom, no more impulsive shoe/purses/accessories splurges!
11. Finish one pesky thing that’s getting in my way so that I can have 3 milestones to celebrate come summer!
12. Learn one new word a day and try to use it in a sentence.

What are some of your resolutions for 2012?
