HOW it is now 2018 i do not know! Like where did the time go? Honestly. The past year seemed to fly by and i wish everything would just slow down tbh. ANYWAYS i thought i would share with you some of my goals that i’m setting myself for the year.

1. Try and be more out there with style. Since i am basically at sixth form every single day i never really change up my outfits and often I find myself just repeating the same outfits over and over again. HOW BORING. So this year i really want to try and experiment more with my style and push my self out of my clothing comfort zone. I’m basically just gonna where WHATEVER i bloody want to and try things i haven’t been confident enough to where before.
2. Blogging. I want to try and post more regularly on my blog. Since i started it in October 2017 i haven’t really made much progress or made as many posts as i aimed to. SOZ. So my goal this year is to try post more frequently which will probably be a lot easier once i finish sixth form in the summer. But anyhow i am going to TRY hard to get up some more posts as i do really enjoy writing them.
3.  Exams. I am currently in year 13 and so am set to sit my A Levels in a few months. HELP! I do really struggle at sixth form and am finding it hard to balance everything. So this year my goal is to just do the best i can, and try my absolute hardest. Lets hope i get decent grades as well that would be fab. BUT regardless as long as i try my best i’ll be happy. LETS HOPE ANYWAYS LOL.
4. Money money money. I want to save up as much money as i can this year. Now, OF COURSE i’m going to spend some like i cannot go a year without a online shop or two… or 10. HAHA. But i am going to attempt to save some money each month as when i do finally finish sixth form i want to start having some driving lessons and things.
5. Confidence.  This past year has been big for me in terms of confidence. I have worked hard on my confidence this year and i have really made progress. Although to others it may not be super noticeable, to ME its been a massive gain. One of the major contributing factors this year has been my Christmas temp job, which over the last two months of 2017 really made a massive difference. The people i worked with were ABSOLUTE BABES and the whole retail environment forced me into something which i wasn’t comfortable with. Now i still struggle with my confidence and of course it isn’t going to just suddenly be super easy talking to strangers and whatever else but i have made massive improvements and for that i am SO PROUD of myself!! So my goal for 2018 is to just keep working on my confidence and bettering myself.

So 2018 I CANNOT WAIT !

Although it may be hard (when is life not) i also hope that it is a super rewarding and fun year!!

Wishing you all the best for 2018!!

I AM 18!! As in like from today i am officially an adult! How crazy!!

I don’t feel like an adult, nor do i know how to do typical adult things like bills and taxes and all that jazz, but that can be for another day (most likely very far in the future lets be honest). So, as i am now officially an adult, i am super excited to be able to legally drink and get over 18 wages and all that. Yet, at the same time its daunting knowing that from now on things are going to change A LOT and while thinking about the future is scary at the same time I CAN’T WAIT for whats to come!

So i thought that for this post i would share with you 18 pieces of wisdom i have gathered so far in my 18 years.

Hope you enjoy!

2. People change and that’s okay
3. You need to put yourself first sometimes
4. Things are not always gonna work out how you want them to
