Happy New Year 2014

1st January 2014... The day to make resolutions you half heartedly intend on keeping!

In the past year I've had a fantastic time, moving to another country, learning a language, meeting lots of new people and one of my best friends got married. In light of this I don't think I really have many resolutions to make as I'm already pretty awesome (insert sarcasm here). However below I will write a few and see how I get on this year! 

1- Exercise again! I used to go to the gym 3-4 times per week. This year due to the move, the lack of money and my absolute hate for running I've probably exercised 3-4 times in a year. Therefore I must do something to slim down and become healthier! 

2- Travel more. I've only been to two continents and I'm hoping to expand this to three this year. One of my best friends is currently volunteering in Rwanda for two years and I'd love to visit her. I miss her lots and I've never been to Africa so it's win win!!

3- Save some money. I always thought I'd be better with grown up stuff by my age but unfortunately I'm not. At all. Thus year I need to properly save so if I ever desire to buy a house/car/holiday I can without wondering which bank to rob first! 

That's it for now... Like I say I'm pretty happy with my life so I want to tweak it rather than change it! 

Happy New Year, let me know your resolutions. 

Me and my sister New Years Eve 2013

The end of 2012

I realise after posting the first blog I have never got round to posting any more in this blog. I have been crazily busy! However I would like to remedy this and continue in the new year with my fashion and beauty thoughts and ideas. I also will be, like most other people in the UK I imagine, will be attempting to lose weight in 2013 so I will be adding diet and fitness progress too.

Currently I would like to lose 2 stone and get back to the weight I was about 3/4 years ago. It seems like a lot but if I can put it on then I can take it off!! I need to be healthier and more comfortable in my clothes. I used to be very confident in what I wore and now just try and hide how much larger I have become

My plan is to eat healthier fresher foods and limit the amount of ft and sugar I have (so goodbye Starbucks venti Caramel Lattes and almond croissants for breakfast). I am also planning on finding a fitnesss class to attend, walking more, weight training and general toning, particularly for abs!


In terms of beauty I think I have finally found the best skincare routine for my skin and I am using Cliniques 3 step routine and the city block for spf protection. The only thing I need to find is a good eye make up remover as I find Benefits they're real mascara a real pain to get off. It clings to my lashes!!


New years eve tomorrow - time to start thinking about about my hair and make up for the night!!
