Resolutions!!!

Happy New Year Liquor and Love Readers! Yes yes we know we are over a week late, but we’ve all been very busy getting back into the swing of things and getting out of the snowstorm back east! Today we wanted to talk about resolutions, 10 days into the new year and you may have already given up on yours. But its not too late! This year Shauna and I thought long and hard about ours (especially after the Christmas party debacle). Sidenote...Shauna and I did straight up life evaluations after that party. Anyhoo...thinking back over the years and listening to everyone’s resolutions year after year we decided it’s always the same. This year I will lose weight, I will work out more, I will eat healthy, I will quit smoking. And while ours may have a hint of some of that we decided to focus on little changes rather than big proclamations.  Working in a bar as fun as it is, is not always easy. You’re on your feet for hours on ends. You’re serving people drinks and burgers and fries. People want to buy you shots. People want you to be having a good time because they are partying so why aren’t you? Don’t get us wrong we aren’t complaining about being able to take a shot of tequila with some customers but after a while it does take a toll on your body and your level of productivity outside of that job. So this year we made our resolutions a little more focused. Jenny is going to concentrate on laying off the booze and french fries at work a bit. Focusing more on music and teaching yoga and not letting the bar be my main thing in life. And Shauna is going to concentrate on getting her MFA in Illustration, and her beauty business. You didn’t know we had all these skills did ya? The things you find out about your bartenders. I swear we aren’t just a couple of drunk girls in the bar taking your order! What we suggest is maybe sitting down and thinking about your big goals and what the little steps are for you to get there. Maybe have a friend that you talk to that will keep you on track. Shauna and I talk to each other and encourage each other (sometimes badly influence each other too). What are your resolutions? What are the steps you will take to get you there? Feel free to share in the comments. We love feedback and ideas for how to make goals and stick with them! It’s not too late. Every day you can start new. Happy Friday!!!
