New Years Resolutions

So 2016 is almost here! I always wonder at the start of the year, what the year will bring. I'm hoping this

year is as good as the last! 2015 has been an incredible year full of many memories and I hope next year will be the same!

I don't often do new years resolutions as I always forget what they are during the year! I hope this year that my resolutions will be remembered & achieved. My first resolution is to spend more quality time with friends and family. 2015 has made me realise that people change as does their health, and you need to make the most of what you have, whilst you still have it!
Another resolution is to spend less time in front of screens! I have realised how much time I spend in front of a screen, and I couldn't even spend a full day away from my phone! I think this needs to change, I have as well as many others become addicted to screens & technology, and it's taking over my life!
Another resolution is to become more independent and learn life skills. I am planning on going to university in September, and independence is such an important thing when you move away from home, as are life skills such as managing money and washing clothes!
In 2016 I want to have more 'me time'. I want to spend more time doing the things I love such as reading & photography and take time to relax!
I feel like one thing I lack is confidence. I want 2016 to be the year that I learn to love what I have and gain confidence! I have learnt that confidence is such a vital thing in life, and if I want to be a successful teacher, it would help!
My last resolution is one that I think most will relate to, and that is to care less about what others think! Does it really matter how many likes you get on a selfie? Not really. Does it matter what someone thinks of your outfit? Not especially. I think as long as you are happy, then go for it! It's your life, don't let anyone control what you do.

2015 Review

2015 brought laughter and tears on many occasions. I feel like 2015 has been one of the best years for me personally. I can tell that in myself I have been a lot happier and so many things have gone right, or if not, I've looked on the bright side! The best memories from the year include the four concerts I went to (Ariana Grande, 5SOS & Union J twice), celebrating my 18th birthday with friends and family and spending quality time with friends and family. I feel like this year has really highlighted to me the importance of friends and family and having someone to talk to.

January, February, March
I feel like these are the quiet months of the year. Nothing seems to happen during these months. It's like the Christmas cool off months where your still recovering from a hectic month!

April
April is the month of my sisters birthday, and so we celebrated with a sleepover...what a surprise! Apart from this my April was a quiet one! However, with the weather improving I was starting to spend more time outside!!

May
I think May was the month I took my exam, if not it was June but anyway! I then later found out that I had passed this exam, yippeee!!

June
June was a busy month! We started off on the 4th June with the Ariana Grande concert with friends. Her vocals are incredible I must point out! Then on the 9th June was the Rock Out With Your Socks Out concert (55OS). Again another incredible concert!

July
In July I finished college for the summer and began to relax at home spending much needed time relaxing! I spent more time outside, attempting to get a tan but failing miserably!

August
August saw me and my family going on holiday to Lynton and Lynmouth. We had a lovely time spending quality time together as a family, which I must admit, doesn't happen often enough!

September
September was the return of college, with a new year came more work as early as the first week. I also went to Union J at Talentfest and I got front row! I wrote a blog post on this concert, so go and check it out!

October
October is the month we celebrate my brothers birthday, this year he had an outdoor party at a local place, where they play several games involving both children and parents. I was chief photographer for the day, and I got plenty of great embarrassing shots of parents! It also saw the celebration of a friends 18th birthday, she decided to have a disco dome, not really my style, but it was a fun night regardless! It also saw another Union J concert where I also got to meet them for the second time woo!!!

November
November was another quiet month, we started the preparations for Christmas and my birthday.

December
December is a busy month anyway but we also have 5 family birthdays! I celebrated my birthday by having a meal with my friends, it was a lovely night and I was well and truly spoilt! I have wrote a blog post about what I got for both events so go and check it out!!!

Happy New Year,

What I Got For Christmas And My Birthday!

I am not doing this post to brag or show off, I am doing this post because personally I really enjoy seeing what others have got, so I decided I'd let all of you be nosy. Also it's a good way to get to know someone as you get to see their likes!

For Christmas, I only got little things. I got lots of Zoella Beauty and Tanya Burr Cosmetics products. I also got lots of bath/shower products. My favourite Christmas present is the Zoella Beauty Awesome Drawersome.

My birthday is the 28th December, and this year it was my 18th birthday, because of this I was spoilt! I'm only going to include a few of my favourite presents to tell you! My friend proved how well she knows me and got me a Krispy Kreme card for me to get a donut every month for a year. I got the Anna Saccone Capricorn necklace from my family. I really like this necklace, and I got the card that comes with it signed by Anna herself! I also got a charm bracelet from a family friend with the first letter of my name on it. Now the biggest present of the day, I wasn't given till my birthday meal with friends. I had no idea I was getting this present. My family surprised me with sound check tickets for 5SOS in April.

I am so grateful for everything I was given on both days, and every gift/card no matter how big or small was perfect for me.

Tanya Burr Cosmetics Advent Calender

This year I wanted to get more than just a simple chocolate advent calender, so I decided to get the Tanya Burr advent calender. I really liked the look of this calender, it is decorated as a house, with pink as the main colour. There is also some glitter at the top of the house, but it is stuck to the box, and doesn't come off!

I also really like all the products that come with the calender. They are all of a high quality and are all usable products! In the calender you get 2 nail varnishes, 2 sets of eye lashes, 3 lip glosses, a mirror, 2 shimmer pots and 2 nail files.

The only bad thing about the calender is how difficult it is to get the products out of the plastic. I had to wait till I had finished opening to doors to get most of the products out at the end.

I would always recommend Tanya Burr products, although for some they may be slightly pricey, they are really good quality and are a nice size and come in lovely packaging!

Christmas Essentials

First of I want to apologise for the lack of posts, I've been busy applying for university and going to interviews along with doing college work. So life has been very busy indeed! Anywaty, on with the post! There are many things that I make full use of around Christmas, and I wanted to share a handful with you!

One thing I make true use of during Christmas/winter months is hot chocolates. Nothing beats coming in from a cold day and having a nice hot chocolate to warm you up. I prefer my hot chocolate made with water, and my favourite powder is the Galaxy frothy top powder, with marshmallows but no cream.

Another thing I make full use of is fluffy socks. I love wearing fluffy socks to keep my feet warm, and if my feet are warm, I find that I stay nice and warm!

Another thing that is definitely a Christmas essential is glittery nail varnish. I feel like there's no better time than Christmas to wear glittery nail varnish, especially because you can leave it on for several days as there's no school/college etc.
