Just in case y’all didn’t know, your girl is kinda crafty and whatnot, so I started another blog here –> http://fauxsunday.com <– as a sort of lifestyle blog where I’ll be blogging out interior design, food, fashion and whatever else floats my boat.

I’ll still be blogging here too whenever the mood strikes me, so keep your girl bookmarked.

I came to the realization a couple of years ago, that making better decisions is the key to a happier existance. Sounds so simple right? Because really, who sets out to make bad decisions? I know that’s never my intent, but I’ve done it. And I’m pretty sure you’ve done it too.

Just think about it. It’s as simple as filling up your gas tank at the station down the street for $3.95, rather than trying to make it to your destination across town, where there’s a station that has gas for $3.55, when you know you’re already in the red. Yeah, you thought you were gonna save a couple of bucks, but now you’re stuck on the side of the road with an empty tank and a headache. And believe me, those people driving by… they’re judging you.

Or how about that time you missed your early morning flight because you wanted to go out the night before, have a couple drinks, maybe meet a cute boy… Now you’re missing that job interview or wedding or whatever, wishing you would have just stayed home the night before.

Or maybe you took a vacation you couldn’t really afford to go on and now you’re struggling to make ends meet each month. Yeah, Hawaii was lovely and you got a really great tan but now that you’re back, how are you gonna eat? That tan is probably not gonna pay for anything, and if it does, well then let me go book my trip to Hawaii asap.

I may or may not have done any of the above. Actually, I haven’t done any of those particular examples. But when I think about it, every unfortunate incident I have encountered is pretty much a direct result of some  poor decision I made previously. Car break-ins and bad haircuts aside (I blame those entirely on my past stylists, current stylist excluded – Steph, you rock!)

I now try to live each day making decisions that’ll have a more positive outcome on my life. It doesn’t always work, but more often than not it does.

How about you? Ever ran out of gas because you were too cheap to spend an extra $.02 at a closer station? Or maybe you made some other decision in life that led to a not-so-pleasant outcome?
