How To Master The Art Of Adulting

Do you ever look at your peers and think they have it all together? It’s like a handbook was passed out to everyone on how to be an adult, but you didn’t get one. Well first of all, what you need to know is that no one has it all together, and everyone is feeling the same. What you view as someone having it all together might be completely different in someone else’s opinion. They could be looking at YOUR life wishing they had that. Therefore, the first step in successful adulting is to forget what everyone else is doing and focus on yourself. The second step is keep having fun! You don’t have to become boring and stop having fun. Adulting can be fun, too! Yes, you’ve got more responsibilities, but you’ve also got more money and more freedom; you just have to use them wisely and follow a few of these steps: 

Set Goals

Your goals will change throughout your life, and that’s okay, but it is always a good idea to have a plan and work toward heading somewhere. Whether it’s career goals, financial goals, or weight goals, set some. Look at where you want to be in five years’ time, write down your goals, and be specific. Then put some plans in place and start working toward them. 

Save Money

It’s essential to have some savings behind you, because if this year has taught you anything, it’s that you never know what is just around the corner, and you can never be too prepared for a global pandemic. Start managing your money properly now (of course, if you’re in the position to save money). Even if you’re not looking at buying a house or anything big just yet, you still want to be able to afford to go on vacation (after the pandemic), right? Or to fix your car if it breaks down? Take a piece of advice from me: during this pandemic, I’ve had to put in over $2,000 toward my car, which I was not prepared for! So it’s good to have some money put away and to build a small pot, and this gets you into good habits for when you do want to look at mortgages, and are spending your time on sites like MortgageCalculator.Org.

Get Enough Sleep

Who doesn’t love sleep? Make the most of getting sleep while you can, because before you know it, you might have babies who will wake you in the night, and continue to wake you up early until they are in their teens (and even then!). Having an early night can make you feel so much better in every way. You’ll (probably) be more productive at work, feel happier, have more energy, and it might even help you to lose weight if that is something you’re trying to do. It’s important to prioritize sleep; don’t think that staying up all night makes you cool. Newsflash: it doesn’t. 

Look After Your Health

While you might still be able to eat and drink what you want without putting on weight or struggling to be active, this won’t last forever, and even if you don’t see the visible effects of an unhealthy diet, you could suffer internal problems if you don’t look after yourself. Eating healthy will also help you to look younger, too!

Wood Watches for The Modern Millennial + Giveaway

March 28, 2019 By lyndsinreallife 1 Comment

There are two things that are very important to me: being on time, and looking good while doing it!

Between my various jobs, my days are busy. Basically nonstop. I have specific times I need to be here and there and everywhere, plus deadlines to meet. I need a watch to get through my days. Sure, I have a cell phone that shows the time, but there is nothing quite like the look and feel of a watch on my wrist. The elegance and style, and the warm nostalgia I feel when reading an analog clock/watch; there’s nothing quite like it.

 

 

Disclosure: I received a watch as part of a collaboration/partnership with JORD Watches. No monetary compensation was received. All opinions and words are my own.

JORD Watches (pronounced Yode) carefully create beautiful wood watches for the modern person. There are also watches made with other earthly materials to accommodate all styles (like mine, which you’ll see below)! JORD watches have functionality and beauty, with a touch of sustainability.

 

 

 Browsing through the user-friendly website, the watch that spoke to me was the Sier Arcadia; though honestly, it was REALLY hard to choose! Created with real, rough cut white marble (hand polished to a stunning luster) and rose gold, the Sier Arcadia is classic minimalism at its finest. I am all about clean lines and simple styles, and I knew this watch would pair perfectly with any outfit.

 

 

 The watch arrived in the most beautiful packaging:

 

 

I’ve owned watches before, but nothing quite like this. You can see and feel the quality of the Sier Arcadia. It has weight, but not too much. The white leather band is thick enough to not break apart, but thin enough to not feel bulky. The rose gold metal mesh band is comfortable, sleek, and doesn’t fade like other mesh bands I’ve had. The bands are easily interchangeable, which I really like!

One thing I surprisingly enjoy is that the watch face doesn’t have any numbers or marks. Without the numbers, it’s especially sleek and minimalist. Clutter is stressful, and there’s no clutter in this watch! I also like being able to tell the time without the numbers. It reminds me of my childhood (you know, the 90s, before electronic technology ruled the world).

 

 

It’s really lovely and convenient to have such a unique watch that matches everything! I can go from work to dinner, or a light workout to brunch, and never have to worry if my accessories match my outfit. And with this watch, I’ll always be on time (which is an issue for me). 😉

 

 

It’s funny (& maybe weird?): when I wear my JORD watch, I feel fancier. I feel confident and pretty, and like I know a thing or two about accessorizing. My watch makes it SO EASY to make any outfit look great. I even stopped wearing my fitness tracker so I can wear this!

I’m so happy to have incorporated this beautiful watch into my lifestyle; thank you JORD for my gorgeous watch!
