2015!?

Hey guys,

Welcome to 2015! I know this is very late and I haven't exactly been around recently, however I am hoping to be back on a more permanent basis this year and I am so excited to have a whole new year empty in front of us.

I have really high hopes for this year. I have some amazing things planned already, and I also have some personal goals that I have set for myself - they're not new year's resolutions, honest.

So without further ado, here is a small list of my personal goals for the year, and I will let you know how I get on!

1. Learn how to drive.
2. Be healthier.
3. Enjoy my year as much as possible.
4. Try not to care so much what people think.
5. Find a job that I love.

I have some amazing things planned for this year that I am really looking forward to. I have a trip to London planned, and me and my boyfriend are seeing The Script in March and staying for two nights in the luxurious St David's Hotel and Spa. I'm hoping to go on holiday somewhere nice and warm this year, and I'm sure their will be plenty of things to write about in between.

Until next time,

Hey guys,

So it doesn't take a genius to see that I haven't been very consistent with this blog, in fact I haven't posted in months.

I definitely want to get back into blogging as it's a great creative outlet for me, however it turns out I don't have as much free time as I thought.

The thing is, who has time for a well rounded life - and hobbies?

We're supposed to eat a balanced diet, exercise everyday, work the 9 to five, take good care of our skin, make time for our friends, families and other halves, have some me time...oh, and sleep eight hours a night. Quite frankly, I find this impossible. It's something I've always struggled with.

And I am easily the least organized person in the world which makes blogging a difficult hobby for me, and I suck at taking photo's.

I find life slightly overwhelming sometimes, and on those days I feel like blogging and getting all my thoughts down would be a good thing, but it's on those days more than any other that I feel like I have nothing to say or that I'm just not motivated enough to sit down and do it.

So this post is just going to be a small list of everything I have done in the last six months since I have not been blogging. Just to remind myself that I had a pretty great six months - and it could have been even better if I'd documented it more efficiently.

• My Auntie got married - It was such a beautiful day and I had the best time surrounded by amazing people.
• A few days later, I went on holiday to Ibiza - An incredible experience that I don't think I'll ever forget. I went with one of my best friends, we saw Avicii live and danced all night, drank straight vodka out of sand castle buckets and saw an incredible sunset from a boat.
• I found out my brother was having a baby - Probably the scariest thought in the world that someone so small will be joining our family in late March this year, but I really can't wait to meet him - he's having a boy!!
• I moved house - Yes, I still live with my parents, I moved with them, but all the same this was really exciting and a long time coming. I'm currently in the middle of completely redecorating the very 'boyish' bedroom I have been given and I can't wait to see it all pay off in the end.
• I had a phenomenal Christmas - This Christmas was a really special one for me, it was probably the best one I've ever had. I really enjoyed spending time with my family and friends and I was well and truly spoiled rotten by everyone.
• I saw a ballet - At the beginning of this year I went to see Swan Lake in Cardiff St David's Hall. I didn't have very high expectations, however it was truly captivating. I loved it, I couldn't take my eyes off the dancers and I would definitely go see The Nutcracker next time.

I had a really incredible 2014 and I have very high hopes for an equally amazing 2015. I hope to be blogging more this year and I really hope that I can communicate with some more people on here.

Until next time,
