My blog has been utterly rejected this year and it doesn't make me happy at all. I was doing really well and then I just gave up. 

Hey guys,

Weren't the London celebrations just beautiful this year??

So for about the last five years I have said that I made a resolution never to make another one and so I have kept to it and it’s the only one I have ever kept to but this year I have realised that I am just using it as an excuse not to make any goals for myself for the fear that I might fail and if there is anything I hate in the world it is not doing something I said I would do, so here are my 2014 goals:
This is a big one for me and I should hopefully tick this one off the list at some point in the next week. I have wanted a DSRL ever since my dad got one about 4 years ago but I know it wasn’t the right thing for me at the time seeing as I was only twelve but after working my way up the camera scale I now think it’s time to bite the bullet and spend an awful lot on a camera. 
Wether it is my new one or the camera that I already have I want to actually use it at least once a week. Whilst taking pictures for this blog might not be the most artistic and creative use for them at least I will be using them and building my skills. There is also a chance of a possible youtube channel appearing in 2014 so watch this space! ;-)
This year I want to do the things I say I’m going to do to help my mum, she does an awful lot for me and even though I say I’m going to do a these things I hardly ever do them or will do the bare minimum and that needs to stop so here’s to a 2014 of household chores.
At the start of the college year I bought lots of folders to put my work into each week and they are still sat empty on my desk meaning I have notes everywhere, a broken folder and a near emotionally breakdown every time I try to revise because I can’t find a single thing.
I’m really not that good at consolidating as in I hardly ever do it which means when it comes to exam time I am completely weighed down by it. However, the other problem I have is that I will eventually plan out some revision time and then never actually do it or only do it half heartedly so in 2014 I WILL REVISE!!
My mum pays every month for my family to go to a lovely gym and we were going regularly but we have kind of slipped a bit and I wasn’t going enough in the first place so in 2014 I will go to the gym twice a week and then go for a swim at least once a week.
I’m sure there is a million more things that I should be adding but as it is my first year in a little while that I have set myself some goals for the year I didn’t want it to be too many.
What are your resolutions for this year?

Hey guys,
Happy New Year!! I can’t believe it’s 2014 already this year has flown by so quickly but so much has happened too. From finishing school and starting college to starting this blog, there has been a lot of ups but there has also been a lot of downs but that’s life and we wouldn’t be human if everything was perfect. 
This time last year I made a decision a decision that my life change for the better and this year I am going to make that decision again and that is to forget all the rubbish that has happened in the last year, remember the good times I have had and move on ready for a fresh start to the new year. I also set myself a challenge last year which I didn’t keep but I really should have and that was to write down all of the good things that happen to me no matter how small onto little bits of paper and put them in a jar…but I failed. However, this year I won’t. For me this serves two purposes 1. When I’m having a bad day I can go through them and remind myself that good things do happen and have happened and 2. It will remind me of the good times because when I look back on this year all I can think of is Prom and Results and major things like that, whilst they were lots of fun I have forgotten all the little things that make me smile day to day and that’s a shame. So that’s my challenge for you this year write things down that make you happy, put them in a jar, write a diary or even start a blog but don’t forget everything which has happened to you.
I hope you all have a wonderful start to the New Year,

(Don’t forget it’s a fresh start for all of us)

Hey guys,

So this weeks post is an introduction to something that will be appearing across my blog over the next few weeks and months. They will be posted in the Wednesday post slot for now until I can commit to writing two detailed posts a week then they will most likely move to a different day. This means that there won't be one every week as I have plenty of other important things to tell you about as well but there will be one everyfew weeks at least.



So what is this? The Most Beautiful Things Series will be things which I find on Etsy, Online or Instores as well as other things that I think are simply beautiful. It will be very similar to my Etsy/Internet Finds series that I had back in the early days but this way I'm not limited to just jewellery and I like this name so much better anyway.

I hope you guys will enjoy this and I already I have a few posts lined up for you with more to come. If you are a brand or company and would like to be featured then please send me an email and we can talk about it.
