New Year Resolutions | Blogmas | Day Twenty-Two

It's time to start thinking of things I would love to achieve and do in 2016! I still can't believe i'm writing about 2016 when it feels like only last month it was January! I have a bucket list of what I want to do and where do go and also what I'd love to achieve on my blog. So here goes! 



1. Go on my first holiday with my boyfriend. We always talk about going away but never actually do it, so i'm hoping 2016 is the year to go away somewhere nice and relax.

2. Find a perfect place with my boyfriend. We are moving away next year and i'm really hoping we find a lovely first home together. It's a really exciting time planning and talking about it and we've already bought bits and bobs. 

3. Have 1000 followers on my blog, through google+ or bloglovin'. Now to some that might not seem a lot but I don't have a lot of followers so I'd love to get my blog heard and meet some amazing people through that.

4. Go to Harry Potter World. Now when my boyfriend, Colin reads this he will be so chuffed with himself. Only a few weeks ago I watched all of the Harry Potter movies for the first time, saying I would NEVER watch them as I wasn't too fussed on it, but they really surprised me and now i'm kind of obsessed! 

5. Start a Youtube channel. I hate the way I sound and don't have a lot of confidence but I need to pluck up the courage and finally go for it! 

6.  Go to college and do a beauty course. I love all things beauty related and I want to have a career that I love, not one that I'd do but not be happy doing! 

7. See Demi Lovato live, and hopefully meet her! I've dreamed about seeing Demi for a long time now and I'd do anything to see her! I really hope 2016 is the year!

8. Be happy. It's a simple thing but I want a happy year without anyone getting in the way of that. It's been a tough year but 2016 is a new year and I really hope it's a good one!

Chatty Sunday | Blogmas | Day Twenty

5 days before Christmas. Where has the time gone!? As soon as it hits the final 5 days before, I get right into the Christmas mood! So here's what I've achieved and still to look forward to before this year is over!





1. Our Christmas decorations are up. Only one thing that we can't do this year is put presents underneath our tree, why? because my dog Spencer now thinks it's okay to open people's presents as they think their his.. what a wee minx! 

2. My Christmas hours at work have started! *Cries* Thinking 6 am starts are bad? Try 4 am! Setting an alarm for 3 in the morning breaks my heart, whilst everyone is cosy in bed, or coming home from nights out I'm starting my day at work, only good thing is the early finish! Thank goodness!


3. Family time! I've had a lot of family time over the festive period. I've had lovely days in with my parents, chilling and watching Christmas movies, but also having family meals with my boyfriend and his family. It's great to go out with someone with a big family as for me it's just the 3 of us, but my boyfriend has 6 of them around a table which is a lot different to me! It brings us closer together and it's makes me very happy to be apart of his family! 

4. Nights out! I love this time of year as it's the time I can put on my fancy dresses, have a bottle of champagne with the girls and dance the night away! My work Christmas night out is the 23rd so i'm really looking forward to letting my hair down after the busy few weeks we've had! 

5. My friends who live away are home! Some of my best friends live away due to Uni, and I miss them a lot when they are away! We may not get to talk as much as I'd like, so I'm excited to have them back and have a catch up! 


There's not long left of this year but I have a lot to look forward to! I can't wait to have a lovely Christmas with my friends and family! What are you looking forward to?

What I've Learnt About Myself This Year | Blogmas | Day Seventeen

I've been sitting on this idea for a while now, wondering if I should post this. I wasn't going to, but, I class my blog as my diary and a good way to look back on how far I've come!

This year in particular I've learnt an awful lot about myself, and well, life! Life can be difficult sometimes can't it? I'm now 21 and when I thought my teenage years would be the hardest, boy was I wrong! This is the time in your life you find out who your real friends are, who to trust and not to trust and to, well, start growing up! And I've done a lot of that this year! So, here's what I've learnt! 

Friends. I love my friends, a lot, but I started off the year with a lot more than I have now. This time last year I had a great group of friends, there was a good lot of us and I went from having a group who were inseparable , to about 3. That sucked. BIG time! Things changed, it was a simple as that. You grow older and realise who to trust and who not to, I must now only have about 4 good friends who I can trust with my life. These guys below mean the world to me, from my school friends to the friends I've became closer to this year. Thank you, you guys rock! (Not all my close friends are in these below as don't have up to date photos, but you guys mean just as much, you know who you are).



Not caring what people think of me. I used to care, a lot! I used to get upset and dwell on it for hours or even days, which thinking back was so stupid of me! The person that really changed my way of thinking, and not caring anymore, was my boyfriend. We have been through a lot together and noticing that he didn't care what others thought really pushed me to not care and do things that made me happy. I used to put others happiness before mine, but for once putting mine first really changed me and made me a better person. I'm a lot more open with someone if I have a problem and if someone doesn't like me because they heard something I done, I don't care. I ignore it or that person and move on. Life is way to short.  





Saving. I've learnt to finally save money and not spend it on makeup or clothes. Next year is a complete fresh start for my boyfriend and I. We are moving away and talking about the future really gets me excited! It's definitely what we need, and being able to see the money we've saved on our own place will really show me that saving has finally payed off! 


I've a had a lot of great times this year, but this one especially has been a learning curve for me! What have you learn about yourself this year? Let me know!
