Hey lovelies,    So it's Monday again and the start of a new week full of new opportunities waiting to be seized and memories to be made.    And time to start working on those goals you set at the start of the year.

Its your goal, your life. If you pick a goal because someone else wants you to do it or you want to impress people with them and your heart is not in you won't achieve it. So set goals that you feel you want to achieve and already your off to a flying start.    Be specific but realistic. Know exactly what it is you want to do, but also realistic.

I started the year working in a charity shop and living at a friends house with my adorable kitten Ridley. And I was fairly happy, didn't want to be living at my friends but I had just started this blog and had gotten addicted to Netflix ;) Feburary was the month that would start a lot of changes. I was about to finally find my own place again and move out...and I had to rehome my beautiful Ridley because I was hearing things about my

Hey lovelies, (First a little side note, I'm having to use my phone to get this post up so the please forgive the change in layout and any spelling errors I overlook!) Anyway onto today's post, its now 2015 and we all know what the start of a new year means, resolutions/ new year goals! And today's even more special...I started this little blog a year ago today! A big thank you to everyone that has made this blog amazing with all your support, comments and love! Here's to making it even better in 2015! I'll do a 2014 recap when I have access to a laptop as that's gonna be a lengthy one to write! But I thought I'd share my goals for the year ahead as my first post of the year (and hopefully I'll be able to blog more frequently this year! ) So let's get stuck in! Personal. 1. Find the happiness in everyday, even if its something small. Appreciate the little things!  2. Finally turn my flat into a home. 3.  Start sav
