Ok so I suppose I am a few days late, but I've been thinking long and hard about these resolutions over Christmas and the things I want to achieve this year. Some of you may know that my blog was originally based about 6 beauty resolutions I vowed to keep up over a year, and that a lot of them fell on their ass!
These were last years resolutions:
1. Stop biting my nails
- More NOTD posts
2. New hair extensions
- Find the best extensions on the market for quality and money
- also find the best in hair protection products
3. Find the ultimate hangover cure
4. Learn the best ways to apply makeup for fair/pale skin
- & Perfect the application of fake tan
5. Rework my own fashion style
- Try something new each month
6. Experiment with food
- Try out new recipes and find the best tasting 'healthy diet' meals.

I haven't stopped biting my nails, in fact I think I've just bit them this morning.. But in all fairness I have been wearing false nails a lot & over the year managed to bring to my blog many NOTDs and nail art posts regardless of my bad habit!
I also haven't experimented with my hair extensions much either, with the exception of my brief stint with Ombre. And as I began to experiment with styling products and protection sprays, my natural hair has grown long enough not to wear them any more anyway! Hallelujah!
However I can tell you that Remi is definitely the best brand of hair extensions I have tried, so for any new starters in the extension market, I would recommend spending a little more on Remi rather than the cheap £10 a row extensions.
On a positive note, I have reworked my own style & experimented throughout this year & have found the confidence to wear bodycon dresses! previously I was very self conscious about my stomach & thighs but a bodycon midi LBD from Missguided changed that for me!
_________________________________________________________________
However I have found that new years resolutions make me feel a little bit crap, so rather than setting myself ridged resolutions, I'm going to map a few things I wish to achieve this year, a sort of year long bucket list.. No obligation but its something I will aim to complete.
2013 is going to be a pretty big year for me, it marks my 3 year anniversary with the creature, I will be moving into my first ever 'big girl' flat with Creature too, first time out of home or student accommodation.. & I will also be moving into another completely new city.
So without further ado (and pointless ramblings)..
I will probably end up adding to this throughout the year but for now these are the 20 things I really want to achieve, but best of all I'm not going to stress myself out and stick to it rigidly (well.. except for the getting a first.. That's kinda important)
The turning a studio flat into a home is really important, it'll be the first time myself and Creature have a space of our own so I want it to feel special.. So stay tuned this summer for pictures of my poor attempt at DIY!
