Happy 2018, friend! We had a perfectly low-key NYE–we indulged in dinner at a restaurant I’ve been wanting to try for months (The Cortez) with some of our closest friends, popped some bubbly at their apartment, and were back home and in pajamas with Trader Joe’s chocolate lava cakes in the microwave by 9:30. Charlie has been sick and not sleeping well, so I ended up crashing on the couch while Dave watched some of the New Year’s coverage on the news, waking me up in time for a midnight kiss. I can’t think of a better way to have rung in the new year!
I know you can set goals at any time (my monthly goal posts are hopefully a good reminder of that!), but I do always feel so rejuvenated and motivated by the excitement of a brand new year. I’ll be sharing my goals and 2018 inspiration board on Thursday, but in the meantime, I’d LOVE your input on what you would like to see on Something Pretty this year. You can fill out the 10-question survey below!
Thank you for your responses! This survey is no longer available.
P.S. As a little thank you for your time, I’m giving away a package of some of my Beautycounter favorites (Citrus Mimosa Body Wash, Rejuvenating Eye Cream, Nourishing Cream Exfoliator, and Lip Conditioner in Peppermint–a $136 value!) to one person who enters and a $25 J. Crew gift card to another person! Since survey entries are anonymous, please leave a comment on this blog post if you’d like to enter. Just let me know that you completed the survey and share one thing you’re excited about for the year ahead! Winners will be selected and emailed on January 15.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback–I’m truly grateful!

[…] Friends, first of all, thank you SO much to everyone who has completed my reader survey! Honestly, the thing that has blown me away the most is how kind people have been…even (especially!) when sharing things they’re not interested in seeing more of this year. It’s nervewracking to ask for feedback point blank, but y’all have been truly encouraging. I promise I will be taking all of your thoughtful suggestions to heart and am already SO excited about the post ideas I’m coming up with as a result! The survey is open until January 14, so if you haven’t taken it yet, there’s still time to share your thoughts and enter to win a $25 J. Crew gift card or a box of Beautycounter goodies here! […]
Hello Lisa, I completed the survey for you. I am looking forward to my life restarting! In 2017 I was pregnant, and sick nearly all year. I am excited to have my energy back and to finally get back to the things that excite me–walks in the sunshine when summer comes, bike rides, working out, cooking, etc.
I completed the survey and am a longtime reader and love your posts! I’m most looking forward to simplifying my home and getting in a rhythm of keeping it tidy each day so I can enjoy my weekends more!
I did the survey! Hmm…I don’t know yet what exactly I’m looking forward to this year! We just moved to Rwanda this past summer, so we’re still learning how to do life here…so maybe just normal life? And we just got back from what I had been looking forward to for a while – a trip to Cape Town! :)
I completed the survey! I am looking forward to enjoying my toddler- at 17 months things are getting more and more interesting!
