I thought i would give myself three aims to get my butt in gear.
1. Become at peace with the gym
I joined the gym back in November with the instinct to really hit it hard during the last two months of the year to get me prepared to become fit and healthy in 2019. Its safe to say that didn't work out well but my mission is to make this happen this year. I know a lot of people say they want to become fit every new years but i am not too fussed about being a gym bunny or having a perfect body. I am more interested in becoming more healthy and maybe losing the extra timber around my stomach crossing fingers. Wish me luck! I am already searching the internet for healthy dinner ideas which will hopefully encourage me to keep on track.
2. Use up my makeup / skincare collection
I have said before on twitter and Instagram that i really want to shop my stash this year and use up my never ending collection. I am putting myself on a spending ban until my collection has been reduced significantly, that way i use up all my products instead of letting them go bad in my draws. I only have one face so i don't need a ridiculous amount of products. This will also mean i get to try lots of products which i have forgot about in my collection.
3. Save save save for the wedding!!
It has been a year and a half since Cal and I got engaged and we think it is about time we finally start making plans. This year we are planning to hard core save so hopefully we can plan a day both of us enjoy. We are in no rush to actually walk down the aisle, maybe in the next 5 years before i turn 30. Ideally i would like to have one child before we get married so that we can have the the child as a flower girl/ page boy. I already know Callum and I will last the whole 60 without killing each other so i don't feel like i need the big white wedding before we have kids. So we start saving now and we don't get married for another 5 years then hopefully our savings will be amazing!!
The hardest out of the three aims is definitely the gym but i have some proper gym clothes, some new trainers and a whole load of cute summer dresses i want to feel comfortable in.
What are you planning to do with your year?

They always say the fewer new years resolutions you make, the more chance you have of actually keeping to them throughout the year, so I am giving myself only three new years resolutions for 2015.
Start saving more money each month for the future I plan to move out of my family home within the next few years if my certain circumstances don't change so I need to be prepared to pay for rent or a mortgage. I had quite a bit of money that I started saving when I was 16 but the majority of that was spent on my new car this year so I feel like I'm starting from scratch again here.
Spend less money on meals out and cook at home more I can easily be persuaded to go out for a meal instead of cooking myself, especially after a long day or if I am catching up with a friend. So this year I am limiting how often I can go out for meal and plan to start cooking new dishes myself so that I actually have something to cook people.
Plan more things to do when its warmer weather since probably about October i have been a sloth on the sofa on all my days off and a Kermit to the world. I would much rather go home to bed than actually go out into the world after work. So when it is warmer weather I plan to do more exciting things and see more people in my spare time, before they forget what I look like!
I'd love to know what some of your new years resolutions are for 2015, leave me links to your new years resolutions posts or tell me some in the comments :)xx
It has been a whole year since I started this blog and my first post was dedictaed to 2013 and what resolutions I was going to make. I wanted to reflect at the end of the year and see what I have completed from my resolutions post from last year which you can read here.
Make the most of my days off At the beginning of the year I was doing really well planning fun things to do on my days off, I have gone to loads of villages with my boyfriend and gone for walks in new places, I've also drove to new places like Peterborough and Cambridge for days out.
Show some love to my old outfits this one hasn't been so successful. I have got into the routine of buying loads of new clothes and then not having the space to put them, so I sort through all my draws and wardrobes and give any old clothes to my friends who I think would wear them. It is good in a way because it means my wardrobe is organised more often but i have given half my wardrobe away this year and just replaced it with new clothes... I would say that was a fail!
Have breakfast EVERY morning this one lasted for about two months which is good for me. Recently if I have had breakfast at all, it has been cakes or a biscuit. Maybe this year I will actually stick to this one.
Treat myself to a pamper session once a week I don't know about once a week but I definitely do pamper myself a fair bit, although a lot of things have got in the way of me sitting down with a face mask on. The only thing I would say I am slacking on is my forgotten nails. I haven't done anything to them in months when I used to have a different colour on my nails every week so this year I do need to show some more love to my nails.
To use up my existing products before I purchase more when I wrote this one last year I was referring to my body products for the shower and such, but now my problem is having too much make up. Over the last 12 months I have bought quite a bit of make up and got some other bits from Birchbox and now my make up draw is overflowing. So this year I shall be focusing on using up all my make up before purchasing anymore. With Body products I have my stash under control for once.
I shall be posting my new years resolutions for 2014 as well so in a years time, I can write another post like this to see whether I have kept up with my new resolutions :)
I have never really been one for new years resolutions. I find that they are just things that people promise they will do/change about themselves but never actually follow through with. Nevertheless I do have some things that I want to do this year. They aren't the typical go to the gym or eat more healthy resolutions but they are things that I think I should/need to do :)
Make the most of my days off
I am quite a lazy person so when I have a day off you can usually find me in my bed watching a DVD or on my laptop. From now on though, I want to plan things for when I'm free so I don't get to the point where I need to leave the house because I've spend too much time inside. I'm quite confident in exploring new places by myself so I plan to just pick a place to drive to and see what I find.
Show some love to my old outfits
I am really bad at buying new clothes and stuffing my old clothing into the back of my wardrobe, never to be seen again until I have a massive clear out (slaps wrist). Working in a clothing store means I have to keep updating my wardrobe with the latest stock but I do try to mix my new clothing with something I brought months ago. Whether it is a new shirt with some jeans from last year or a new dress with a old cardigan, I feel better knowing that I am making the most of all my clothes.
Have breakfast EVERY morning
I am one of them people who would rather spend more time in my bed before I start to get ready then take the time to go make myself breakfast. I know it's bad but I have never been a breakfast eater. From now on though, I will be forcing myself to get up and have something, I will be needing energy when my job changes in the next few weeks so I wont be able to get away with not eating until 12/1 o'clock anymore. Even if it's just an apple before I leave or something to eat once I get to work, I should feel better in the long run.
Treat myself to a pamper session once a week
At the moment I only treat my skin to a pamper session when I can remember (or when I'm bored) so I think my skin deserves to be pamper more often. I recently bought loads of facemasks in Homebargins for 99p each so I have no excuse to not use them weekly at that price.
To use up my existing products before I purchase more
I have the typical beauty obsessor's problem... buying more beauty products before I've used up the ones I already have. It got to the point where after I spend £50 on body products on boots.com, I had enough body creams/butters/washes/scrubs for 10 people... opps. The worst part was that half of the bottles were started already, I knew then that I had to just use one body butter until it was finished. So now I'm working my way through the ones that I had already started and not touching my new products until I actually need them. Hopefully after a while, I will have space to put my products (I have three boxes full at the moment, I know its excessive)
And those are my new years resolutions for 2014, I hope I stick to them and then if I am still writing this blog in 2015, we can see if I have :)
