How I Increased My Credit Score in Three Months
How I Increased My Credit Score in Three Months

Looking back on the past year, it’s safe to say that a lot has changed in my life. Ben and I moved into our first home together and got married this fall, both of which were big financial steps for us! In October, I began working with Lexington Law Firm to help build my credit, so that we could start our life as a family on the right foot! After a few short months, I’ve already seen changes in my credit profile. I can’t wait to see where 2020 takes us as we continue our services with them!

How Essilor Vision Foundation Gives Free Glasses to Children Across the U.S.
How Essilor Vision Foundation Gives Free Glasses to Children Across the U.S.

I first started showing signs of needing glasses when I was in elementary school. What started off as blurry vision when reading quickly turned into not being able to see at a distance. By the time I was in high school, I required glasses for everyday tasks and to drive. I know from personal experience that poor eyesight affects every part of life - from learning to overall confidence. I was lucky to have parents that could afford my yearly visits to the eye doctor and to constantly buy me new pairs of glasses when I needed a new prescription or broke them as a child. I know that it’s pretty likely that we will have to invest in getting glasses for Aimery as well since most of our family members need glasses for eyesight. I am so lucky to be able to have the means to buy glasses whenever he needs them - but what about the families that can’t afford glasses?

The easiest thing for us to pack has to be the new Brainiac™ Kids applesauce, it’s a convenient way to have Aimery eating fruit at school - and I never have to worry about added sugar or artificial preservatives when shopping this brand!

2019 Recap + 2020 Goals

2019 has been a year of transformation. As I was reading my previous recaps from years prior, I’ve noticed a trend that the last couple of years have been nothing less than chaos. Although this year has brought many trials and losses, it has grown me in ways that I needed. I let go of a lot of toxic friendships and surrounded myself with the people who cheer me on to success. I got married to the man of my dreams who puts my son and I first. I worked hard and hope that all the grind from this past year is able to finally pay off in 2020.

January Self-Care Goals

2020 is right around the corner, and it’s time you update your skincare routine for the New Year! Let’s face it, there are very few times throughout the day that we have to dedicate to ourselves. For me, this is early in the morning before Aimery goes to school, or late at night after everyone is asleep. One of my resolutions is to be more mindful about how I use this time and invest in myself through self-care, pampering, and practical indulgence!
