Online Goals

I would love to reach 1,000 blog followers in 2016. I'm not too far off and hopefully if I continue to work hard on my blog every day, it can be done! I would also love to continue to work on more fun campaigns with brands that I love!

Travel Goals

I had never really been anywhere too exotic with my family, I think Russia is about as far as we got but after visiting Thailand last year with Andrew, I seriously have the travel bug and would love to do another big holiday in 2016. Top of the list are Hong Kong, Japan and some new parts of Thailand.

Personal Goals

I was saying to Andrew just last week, we did a lot in 2016 - new restaurants, new hotels and new holiday destinations - we both really want to continue to explore and do lots of new, different things whenever we get the chance. We are going to make a point not just go back to the same place again because its easy.

As well as that, I should probably try to make more time to see people who aren't Andrew be it my friends or my family.

Health Goals

I recently realised that I literally do no exercise and I am not happy about it. I have some issues with my back so there are alot of things that I can't do but I did go swimming quite a bit earlier in the year so hopefully thats something I can start doing again in the new year.

I would also like to try harder to start looking after myself a bit more be it simply just using a hair mask or some moistureiser every now and again or going off to a spa for a massage.

New Years Eve 2014

Tuesday, 6 January 2015

OK! I've turned my laptop back on after nearly three weeks and I'm ready to get started again, finally. It's been a super hectic few weeks obvs and your going to have to bare with me while I get used to actually typing again - I've been finding it a bit hard so far this morning haha. I should start with some holiday photos but as usual, on a family holiday, I didn't really get many interesting ones haha.

My last blog post was on my NYE make up ideas but now I'm going to take you though getting ready and what I actually did on new years eve! As for my outfit I was stuck between two, so I started my day by trying them both on an making a decision. This first one is the one I didn't go with - It's this amaaaazing jumpsuit* from RARE. I loved that it had so many aspects to it with the plunging V neck, the peplum and the sequin body and I am very pleased to say that it actually stays up which I was a bit surprised about. I loved it loads and it was something really different for me but it just wasn't right for the sort of plans I had, I was going for food and cocktails and for me, this is the kind of outfit I'd wear to a club! Isn't it pretty though?

The outfit that I actually ended up wearing was something I bought a few weeks back on a whim. I was literally just scrolling though the Clothing at Tesco site picking up anything that I liked the look of and when it arrived, I noticed that I'd picked out the perfect little top for my night! It's a black crop jumper with gold threat though it which was perfect as the cocktail bar that I went to was going for a black and gold theme! I tried to top with jeans and shorts but finally decided to wear it with a simple black mini skirt and my new boots from ASOS.

I know I was chatting about my new silver nail polish previously but when I realised it was a black and gold themed night that all changed. The polish that I ended up wearing was actually one of my stand out favourites from the past year so it was quite fitting! Its a gold texture one from Barry M called Majesty and it covers the nails really well. I popped that in my bag for the night along with the other two products I told you about from ASOS! The little mascara sample was great and even small enough to actually keep in my purse. For me, it was great for a more natural look and didn't clump my lashes together! As for the liner, there is no other one I'd use at the moment, its just so easy to apply.

Amongst my outfit and my make up I also wanted to mention my underwear haha. Since either outfit was nice and easy it meant I could wear any shape and colour underwear I fancied. I stuck with my usual every day comfortable fit but opted for this lovely teal set from Ann Summers* (The bra is now just £10 in the sale). I'm not usually one for lace but since teal is my absolute favourite colour, I couldn't resist this! I ordered it online which is very unusual for me and it fitted perfectly - I was very pleased as you can imagine. The cups come with extra removable pads and it was so lovely to find a pair of matching knickers that wasn't a thong.

Now that my outfit and everything else was sorted it was time for a nice relaxing bath before getting ready! I got to use my melting snowman that Andrew bought me as part of my christmas present! He smells like christmas, fizzes up alot more than I expected, left my skin super smooth.
