 Happy New Years Eve!

 

I cannot believe 2013 has come to a close.  I have truly been blessed with so much this year.  The health of family, a new puppy family member, new friends and adventures, and the start of Moda & the Mar.  Thank you to everyone who supported me during the startup process.  I can't imagine my life without this little corner of the blogosphere.  I am so excited to see what 2014 holds for my family and my blog. 

 

I recently saw an idea on Pinterest that I want to commit to next year.  You bedazzle a mason jar and label it Happy Moments of 2014.  Every time something wonderful or exciting happens that year, write it down and place it in the jar.  On New Years Eve, open it up and enjoy all of the wonderful moments of the past year.  I know I personally get wrapped up in the negatives and downfalls of life at times.  It would be wonderful to be able to look back at all of the little celebrations I might have missed over the year.   Other than that little project, I am committing to the usual resolutions of saving, focusing on health and weaning myself off soda.  What about you?  Any unique resolutions this year?

 

Today I wanted to show you these amazing phone covers from TrimSkins .  They are actually sticker covers for your smart phone (don't worry - they remove easily and do not leave any sticky residue.)  They come in several pieces - front, back, sides, etc. - and are so easy to put on.  They are available in so so many different colors and patterns to fit any taste.  I love how they protect your phone from scratches and scuffs but aren't too bulky to fit in your clutch or jean pocket. 

 

I hope everyone has a wonderful time tonight sipping champagne and puckering up to that special someone!  I will see you guys in 2014!  Linkups below.
