Day 1.

Today is page 1 of a new book......let's make it an awesome one!

The changes to my blog kind of explain my thinking for the next year. It's a fresh start to change what I want to change and be me. I have so many things I want to do but I can never fit them in because of other things I don't want to do.

I have a number of goals and challenges that I would like to complete this year and I want to go into detail about each one so the plan is to write a list here and then to go into detail about each on in a separate post this month.

Make more time for music.
Make more time for my camera.
Make more time for study.
Make more time for family.
Keep on top and organised.
Write 8 blog posts a month.
Cleanse.

I look forward to sharing more about this years goals with you,

Day 365.

Today marks the last page of a 365 page book, is your book worth reading?

So it's the final day of 2014 and the end of another year. I have mixed emotions on this year and I can't really decide if it's been a good or bad one. There is nothing major on either end of the spectrum so this year has been OK but it's time to make 2015 AMAZING!

Today is a day for reflection and a year ago tomorrow I posted a blog post with my goals for 2014 and now is the time to see if I achieved them or not. Below are my goals for 2014:

1. Buy a DSLR camera.

This was something that I achieved within the first month or so of 2014 as I had wanted to and I am so happy I did. Having a camera that can do everything I want it to do has been amazing. I have been able to use it for so many things this year and I have truly enjoyed every second of it.

2. Actually use my camera.

I haven't used my camera as much as I could have done for fear of breaking it by taking it somewhere but it has had it's fair few outings and has been particularly helpful with my media coursework. However, I didn't manage to film much on my camera this year and it's certainly something that I want to do next year.

3. Help around the house more.

I have certainly been better at helping my mum more this year although there is still so much more I could be doing for her. After all it will be good practice for university where I'll be left to my own devices.

4. Be more organised.

My organisation has certainly stepped up in 2014 I now have a colour coded notes and diary system which means I can easily differentiate different subjects and events from each other. There is still work to do but my organisation is so much better than it was at this time last year.

5. Revise more and when I say I’m going to.

My revision improved this year although I still feel that I'm not doing enough throughout the year before it gets to exam season so that is something that I still need to work on a little more.

6. Go to the gym three times a week.

This is the only resolution that I pretty much failed on! At times I was really good at going but most of the time I barely made it at all.

Even though I didn't complete all of my resolutions I definitely made good progress that I can continue working on in 2015.

So that's all for this year... I hope you all have a wonderful New Years Eve!

Time For Change

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.

I could give excuses and try and make up a theory as to why this is but honestly I don't know why this happened it just did.

If you are reading this post on my blog then you will probably have noticed that the design and general look of my blog has changed considerably. I now feel that my blog looks much more professional and is much nicer to look at now. If you have any suggestions of things to change then please let me know.

Next year I am not going to have a set schedule as I will only ignore it or not have the time and then be tempted to give up. Instead I have set myself a goal to upload at least 8 blog posts a month wether that is 8 consecutive days at the start or end of the month or spread out over the month. This way I have a goal but not a schedule something that seems much more reachable.

I hope you don't mind the changes and will enjoy following my journey over the next year.

College Organisation + SOMETHING NEW!!

Hello everybody,

So today's post is going to be a little different instead of me writing my post out I decided to film it an make a video instead. This is something I have wanted to do for a very very long time but I have never managed to or I haven't been happy with the quality. This won't be a regular thing at the moment but I will film videos every so often to replace posts.

Hope you enjoy and don't forget to subscribe and all of that lovely stuff. If you have any questions then either comment on this post or on the video and I'll try and answer for you. You can find the video here :)

Graze Boxes

Hi everyone,

I have wanted to talk to you about 'Graze' for a long time but I have never got round to it. Me and my family have been getting these delivered to our door for around a year now and we love them.

When you order a box you will recieve 4 snack boxes which will contain a variety of things from flapjacks and brownies to nuts, omega-3 rich seeds and beef jerky (not for me). You can also choose to have a little mini bag of microwave popcorn or my favourite olives in a number of different dressings. You can opt in or out of snacks so that you get your very own hand-picked selection. For example you can choose boxes without meat if you are a vegetarian like me. I love these because I like to think that maybe they are just that little bit better than a packet of crisps and they are certainly more delicious.
