Happy New Year 2017!

Happy New Year! I'm so excited for this new year and I feel really optimistic! I haven't made any resolutions but I have a list of fun things that I want to do that I will share another day, and I also have a few other goals floating around in my head, but I'm not entirely sure if I want to set them as goals yet! I'll see how I go!

I hope 2017 is amazing for you!

Happy New Year 2016!

Happy New Year!

2016! It's here and I cannot believe it! I have a lot of plans for this year, but for now here are some things that happened in 2015...

• I finished Certificate II Animal Studies
• I started and completed Certificate III Animal Studies
• I started working at a vet clinic and was accepted into  Certificate IV Veterinary Nursing (I start in February!)  
• I started a small pet sitting business in October (and I've already had a few bookings and am booked out for January!!)
• I spent time with amazing friends                                                                                                   

I had a pretty awesome year, one of the best parts as always is Nathan who continues to be the most supportive and amazing person in my life! Oh and I took way too many photos of my pets

 

I hope 2016 is amazing for you! I will be back next week with a 2015 goal recap and 2016 goals post!

Thoughts on 2014

2014 was kind of a crazy year for me, but at the same time I also feel like nothing happened! That's not quite true though, and here's why:

• I quit uni and started a new course and for the first time EVER I actually have a career plan 
• my Mum was diagnosed with melanoma (she's OK!)
• a friend had a baby, making her my first friend ever to have a baby! 
• I made new friends, kind of unexpectedly, and I know at least one of them will be lifelong 
• I became a pen pal again, and now have several friends all over the world 
• I stepped out of my comfort zone more 
• I felt better about my body 
• we got a dog! (the best) 

 Out of all of the goals I set for myself at the beginning of the year, I really only stuck to a few of them. 

1. focus on Uni (haha I ended up quitting!)
2. be healthier (this I will forever struggle with)
3. get a puppy! Check! We got our baby Amos in February
   
4. take an Instax photo a day to document the year  Done! Except those two weeks my camera was broken and I was waiting for a new one!
5. do the 52 week art journal course I bought from the A Beautiful Mess ladies (oops)
6. make an effort to be more organised (eep)
7. spend less money (kind of...I only buy cheap things haha)
8. read 40 books for my Goodreads 2014 challenge (nope!)
9. get out of my comfort zone and try new things DONE! I made new friends and tried new things!
   
10. keep this blog updated I think I did this! Or at least I started doing it later in the year and am proud of myself for keeping it as updated as I do! 

One of the best parts of this year! This gangly goober

I hope you have the best year ever, and I will be back soon with a post about my personal goals for 2015 and possibly a blog/project goal post as well! A New Year is great, so many blogging opportunities!

New Years Resolutions

Happy New Year!

I thought I would write a blog post about my New Years Resolutions, that way if they are out in the open and people can see them I will be more likely to achieve them...right?!

1. Take care of myself 
2. Create things (cook, sew, draw, write, craft!)
3. Learn to use my sewing machine!
4. Do yoga at least twice a week
5. Stay on top of my university work 
6. Get up earlier on weekends
7. Be organised & tidy
8. Get a new job 
9. Blog frequently because it's fun!
10. Try more new things
11. Take more photos
12. Watch more movies with Nathan
13. Read more (possibly do the 50 books challenge)
14. Work in the garden more & create a vegie patch
15. Try to keep saving money 

I don't think these are too difficult, so I am optimistic!
What are your resolutions?!
