Heya! 

It's Monday so I am here for my blog posts! I am sorry it's very late but I have been ill this week so I am bit behind but never the less I couldn't miss out my post! So as I'm sure you are all aware it is the New Year so I thought why not do something a little different this week. So normally my blog is more fashion focused but this week I wanted to do a post about New Year’s resolutions. Some of you may not do New Year resolutions and some of you may ether way that's what I am going to talk about. Who knows you might even find some of the things I am going to try taking up a good New Year’s resolution to take up for yourself! Now I am not saying I am going to stick to all of these but there are a few I deffo am going to persevere with but I thought I would share with you all of the ones which I thought were a good idea! 

So let's get started now I am not going to lie to you a lot of them, well most of them in fact are health related. But I mean our health is something most of us should give a lot more attention to in order to look after ourselves. I am going to be sharing 10 New Year’s resolutions with you on these posts which I think are a great idea. 

1.    Drink more water.

The first goal I want to set myself for New Years is to drink more water. I feel like this is something most people also need to set themselves to do because most of us just don’t drink enough of it. It’s something that we forget we should be doing and put it to this side as one of those things that doesn’t matter. But it does and is actually one of the easiest things we can do. Firstly you don’t have to give anything up for this resolution. Secondly this one is free! So you have no excuse, it’s a resolution which really requires hardly any effort but is something which will make a big impact on your life. Drinking lots of water also has so many health benefits. Firstly it clears up your skin! (If you are anything like me you will try anything to make sure this will happen.) Secondly you will feel more awake and alert for your day which probably will result in you getting more things done in the day. Drinking water obviously also keeps you hydrated which is a major plus for many reasons. And let’s not forget drinking water makes you less likely to want something else to drink like a sugary drink which is bad for you for so many other reasons. So if you are a busy person who wasn’t really thinking about taking anything up this year this is one you should at least try.

2.    Exercise

Secondly of course exercise. Now this is a well known one for New Year’s resolutions. I took this up last year and I actually did do it however I only lasted 6 months and I really wanted to do the whole year. I feel that even if you don’t do hard core exercise we should all set ourselves something small to do to maintain our health and fitness. Last year I went all out with the exercise routine however this year I want to be realistic so I am going to just set myself the task to maintain exercising even if that is just a simple walk and not a hardcore workout.
                                                       
3.    Keep on top of skin care and body care

Skin care is something I am quite big on but for people who aren’t the New Year is the perfect time to start this. Personally I use Clinique for skin care but I feel that it is trial and error for what works best for your skin and eventually you will find the perfect thing. If skin care is something you are keen to find out more about then I may do a separate post about my personal routine. Although I already have a skin care routine I am still going to work towards maintaining this. But not only that, I also want to work on my body care this year. By this I mean moisturising my skin, exfoliating etc. This is something I am actually not very good at doing at the moment. Although I look after my face when it comes to skin care I often neglect areas such as my legs which can leave them feeling drier than they should be. Moisturising and exfoliating is really simple and quick so is something I will be working to improve on this year. In this I also want to include looking after my feet. Many of us don’t like touching feet etc and as a result our feet are probably one of our most neglected areas so this year I want to make sure I stay on top of keeping my feet happy, this could involve things as simple as removing dead skin, looking after my nails and moisturising.

4.    Set goals

So I have always been one for making lists and I like to be organised, part of this is involves setting goals for myself. I am actually going to do a more in depth post about this however I still wanted to include this as one of my resolutions as setting goals makes it much more easier to achieve thing and gives you more of a chance of actually doing it. One of my goals is to do something each week that will help me to achieve my ‘dream’. This is something I will expand on later but setting yourself a goal is such a simple way to help yourself move forward in life and is something lots of people don’t do because I don’t think people realise if you work towards them it can actually really help you.

5.    Learn something new

Now this is a resolution which I actually came across on twitter. It was something I hadn’t thought of but what a great idea. I am always looking for ways to ‘broaden my horizons’ and try new things. This is a really great goal to set yourself. Personally I want to learn to knit and crotchet as I think it will be a great way for me to relax and is something I will found therapeutic but will also benefit my textiles work so won’t be pointless. Now this has to be something realistic other else you will brush it to the side. For example my college is holding a knitting club so I will have the perfect opportunity to learn. This is a great goal anyone can set themselves and of course you can learn anything. It could even be as simple as learning how to make a cake!


6.  Live and breathe fashion

Now as I am sure you all already aware I love fashion. It is a major part of my life but I’ve set myself the resolution to live eat, sleep and breathe fashion. Now this is a strange saying but in basic terms what I mean by this is involve fashion in everything you do, this way you are constantly being inspired and reaching closer to your dream. At the moment as I am currently at college so am very busy, however I have still set myself small task so I can achieve this; for example everyday check the fashion news and trends and stay up to date or ahead. This can be done in ways such as reading fashion magazines, blogs, watching shows or browsing fashion apps. Of course this is also something I love to do so I know I can push to maintain this task.


7. Make clothes


Okay so this is another personal one but it is something I really want to kick start this year. So as some of you may know I studied textiles at GCSE and am currently studying the A Level at college. I have made a few bits and bobs but I really want to expand my skills of garment making in my spare time in order to become innovative and creative with what I can make so that I can use my new skills within my work. I also want to be able to wear the clothes I make and bring that in as a life style choice so I can have my own style and be sustainable.

 8. Vitamins

Okay this one might sound like a bit of an odd one however I have been poorly recently with petty things like cold and flu and I really don’t want to be dragged down by feeling ill. This year I want to stay motivated and be as focused as ever. Felling ill however won’t help this and will just result in me being lazy. To prevent this I really want to try and make sure I am having a good amount of vitamins in my diet, Of course vitamins are not only good to prevent you from being ill but overall they make you feel healthier, stronger and more awake which will help you day to day but also keep you healthier in the long run. You can take vitamin supplements or you can simply make sure you are having vitamins through your diet. For example having orange juice can help to give you a healthy level of vitamin C.

9. Memories 

This one is something I have been meaning to do for ages and it’s not really a resolution as such but more of a task I want to set myself. I want to create photo albums for certain events and keep scrapbook so I can look back and be thankful for all if the things I have been blessed with. 

 10. Be spontaneous

This may sound like a strange one but there is method to my madness! This is something I would say I don’t do a lot. I am an organised person and tend to plan when I am doing something. But I feel for enjoyment and a healthy life it would be good for me to jump outside of my comfort zone. This is a perfect new year’s resolution even though it may be slightly odd. Being spontaneous could just be as simple as going to a walk in the fresh air or could be something much more dramatic. I feel like this would make things more exciting and real. I also feel like being spontaneous is a great way to live in the moment.

So I hope you have enjoyed reading a little bit about my New Year Goals. Id love to hear from you all what you thought about this style of post as I know it was a little bit different this time! I would also love to hear about your New Years Resolutions! Thank you all for reading!
