Life| New Year Resolutions

1) Learn to say YES: 
Now I'm definitely the 'old lady' of the group, I love an early night and sitting in the comfort of my own home with a book and a candle lit. I have started to create this mind set over the past couple of months and want to carry on pursing it. I feel like I have probably missed out on a number of good times last year because the fear of not having an early night. So next time I get asked to do something or go somewhere I will try and say YES.

2) Travel more: 
I do love travelling and everything this one is always on my list of things to do. I'm thinking of exploring New York or LA this year however, anything from a little beach getaway in England would  deal with my travel flare.

3) Do more Yoga: 
When I came back from Australia, I was very much into Yoga and tried to do it once a day. However due to how busy life and university has got I have become partial to putting off Yoga everyday under the illusion I simply 'don't have the time'. Therefore, one of my resolutions this year is to quite simply make time for Yoga.

4) Cook more: 
This one seems to have progressed over the year and I would love to carry on cooking more and experimenting with flavours and foods. I like in a very fussy household who is skeptical of anything new, so this year I would love to ignore the households fussiness and try anything that I would fancy.

5) Blog more:
Being a first year student at university, last year it got the better of me and I felt increasingly under pressure all the time and thus lost focus to sit and blog. I would love to blog more this year and might even set a time every week to just write a blogpost.


Lastly, just carrying on learning to love myself and be more confident in myself. Everyone deserves a fabulous 2016

Life| Welcome 2016

So it's 2016,  and like everyone says every year- 'Oh my god the last year has flown by!' But I suppose it is true.
For New Year, I spent it with my friends in Liverpool, it was something different which we don't usually do and to go away for New Year was special. On the way up on the train, I was sitting there thinking back to even 2 years ago, when we never would have dreamed of all going away to Liverpool or still all being good friends. I suppose it just show how lucky and special it can be when you have friends which you hope will stay with you forever and have shared many memories together.
But anyway, around New Year you always think back about the year and how it was for you and always across social media its '2015 was rubbish' 'thank god this year as ended'. But to be honest, this 2015 has been absolutely wonderful for me, I can close that chapter and feel a smile across my face.
Not doubt the biggest highlight of 2015 was visiting Australia for a month. I honestly had the best time, and I'm so glad and proud of myself for pushing myself outside my comfort zone.
I definitely learnt that I enjoy my own company, and travelling on your own isn't as scary as people make it out to be, you can do anything if you believe in yourself.
This then got me thinking about my pit of the year and to honestly say that I can't think of anything, makes me think I have had a pretty good year, and is very much thankful of it.
So whatever, 2016 brings, lets hope more travelling and loving of life, I very much embrace it with open arms.
