What are Your New Year's Resolutions?

Aside from having professional "resolutions" in the upcoming new year, I have several personal ones as well that I wanted to share.

1. Start running again. I used to be a marathoner, and I got way lazy after my wedding in 2008. So my main goal in 2010 is to run the Brooklyn 1/2 Marathon and get back into the running groove again.


2. Eat Local Foods. I recently saw Food Inc. For a long time I've always been very against factory farming, to the point I was a vegan. On the other hand, I never had any idea to the extent of how even our produce is handled. Living in Brooklyn with so many farmer's markets to choose from (including the famous Union Square one in Manhattan, of which I'm only 3 train stops away from), there is no excuse for me to not eat more locally grown foods. If I had a yard I'd try my hand at gardening but I don't, so I guess I'll save that goal for another year.


3. Go "out" more often. My husband and I are total homebodies. One of our joint goals is to try to go out and do something once a week, whether it's go to a museum or a comedy show. There's so much to do in this city and we never take advantage of it.

Three is enough for me to start with. What are your New Year's Resolutions?

What's to Come in 2010 with Invite Couture

I don't know about you, but I am so excited for the New Year. Not that 2009 wasn't a fantastic year (which it was for me), but I just have so many goals and things to accomplish I can't wait for 2010 to get here so I can really get started.

Here are some of the new things I have planned to come very soon in 2010:

• Website Redesign- I've been working feverishly on a redesign. Same look and feel, just more content.
• Invite Couture Greeting Cards- yes, I'll soon be venturing into the world of hand crafted greeting cards. So keep you eye out for some new Valentine's Day cards soon to come in early January!
• More blog posts- in 2010 I want to try to post more than 3 times a week. So stay tuned!

Since I'm working on my New Year's to-do list, I wanted to give you the opportunity to lay more on me. What would you like to see from Invite Couture in the next year? I'd love to hear any ideas you may have on greeting cards, invitations and more. Let me know what you think!
