I'll be the first to admit it: I am in denial. Here in West Virginia we definitely have at least eight more weeks of winter. But I am over it! The only good thing about winter is the fashion-- boots and oversized sweaters and scarves and leggings, leggings, leggings. I have officially turned into the adults in the sequel to Frosty the Snowman. I hate the snow.

To take my mind off of the fact that we are supposed to be on the receiving end of 3-5 inches of snow tomorrow morning-- by the way, my first day of classes for the spring semester-- I'm going to go over some of the trends I noticed at the 2014 Golden Gobes.

It has been a frustrating week here in West Virginia. First we were hit with the Polar Vortex, as so many across the nation were-- which means, of course, the heating system decided to completely fail. So it was very little sleep and a lot of space heaters and dripping water at my household. We made it through without any freezing pipes (a miracle!) only to be told Thursday evening that we could no longer use our water beyond flushing our toilets due to a chemical spill a few miles away. We still aren't able to use our water so, for now, it's sponge baths and dry shampoo for this gal.

But! And this is a big but! There are many things that have helped me stay looking like a halfway clean human being and many of those are listed right here in these 2013 Favorites. Not to mention my entertainment favorites, which have really helped to cheer my stinky ass up these past few days.

Onto the less TMI stuff...

I know, I know... Resolutions are so useless. We make them, we break them and the cycle continues. But the idea of a fresh start, a new year, a blank page is so inspiring that I cannot help myself. I must make resolutions. I have so many changes I want to make in my life, changes that I have been waiting for that elusive "right moment" to make. That right moment is now. These are small changes, but I think they will make a big impact on my life and my outlook... That is, if I keep them.
