My End Of Year Goals And Looking To 2019

December 1, 2018

My End Of Year Goals And Looking To 2019

I’m never really one to set huge goals at the beginning of the year because I never tend to like the pressure too much. But I do like to set small goals and put ideas into plans throughout the year. Now we’re in the final month of the year, I thought it might be good to put together a list of things I want to do before the year is up.

1. Visit Winter Wonderland – as you’re reading this, I will be on my way to London to go to Winter Wonderland. Winter Wonderland is a big Christmas destination in London that is the ultimate way to feel all kinds of festive. There are Christmas markets, a fun fair with rides, shows, an ice bar and many other amazing attractions. I’ve never been before so I’m really looking forward to going and getting in the Christmas spirit.

2. Launch my e-book – for a couple of months now I’ve been putting together a little e-book and I’m just halfway through now, so hopefully over the next few weeks I can get it complete and launch it. The e-book I’ve been putting together is all about self-care and looking after yourself. It isn’t going to be the stereotypical list of activities you can do it, it’s going to be a more in-depth look in how you can properly look after you.

It’s going to be FREE for all of my newsletter readers so sign up if you haven’t already for exclusive access.

3. Set up my business – I’ve been wanting to set up my own business since the summer but I’ve had a lot of self-doubt and anxiety of failure that I keep putting it off, but I really want the end of the year or at least the start of the year the time where I finally beat the bullet and go for it. It’s so scary taking the jump, but I really want to make it work and build something of myself.

4. Festive content – I do love a Christmas themed blog post so watch out for some festively themed blog posts coming your way over the next few weeks! I’m also partaking in the Blog and Beyond 12 days of Christmas challenge so it’s been fun putting together my posts for that.

5. Attend my first blogger event – I got invited to my first blogger event last month in my home city and I’m honestly so nervous to go! It will be my first blogger event where I know no one at all. Thankfully I’m allowed to bring a plus one, but my anxiety is already going a little crazy at the idea of going, but I really want to be able to go and try to enjoy the experience, as well as build on my confidence.

6. Teddy’s first Christmas – it’s my puppy Teddy’s first Christmas at home with us! I’m so excited to have him with us this Christmas. He’s going to love helping everyone unwrap their presents or more like trying to eat the wrapping paper. I just cannot wait to buy him a few presents as well. It’s going to be so cute.

What are your end of year goals?

    Blogger events are so much fun, its good you’re able to bring a plus one as it definitely helps you feel more at ease when you don’t know anybody else. But usually events are super fun and I know you’ll enjoy it!

    I think my main end of year goal is to get really good at showing how thankful I am, not in massive OTT ways but meaningful ones! Congratualations on your ebook progress, sounds like such an exciting achievement! Lydia http://lydia-eve.blogspot.com/

The rock formations were so interesting and so much fun to climb even if it was really wind on top of them 😅 it had such an amazing view though! We did a couple of walks in Dalby Forest and couldn’t recommend it enough. It’s very hilly though so be prepared to walk up a lot of hills!

One of the most incredible views I’ve ever seen One of the most incredible views I’ve ever seen in my life was at the top of the Bridestones at Dalby Forest in the North York Moors National Park 🌳 after climbing a steep hill, we walked down a stony path towards these tall rock foundations which we ended up climbing and standing on top of. The view was just insane and we were taller than the trees 😍 it was one of my favourite walks of our whole trip to North Yorkshire! Do you enjoy going on walks? 🚶🏽‍♀️(previously gifted bag from a couple of years ago)

Come to Robin Hood’s Bay with us 🌊🐚 two we Come to Robin Hood’s Bay with us 🌊🐚 two weeks ago today we took a morning trip to Robin Hood’s Bay in North Yorkshire on day 2 of our holiday! This might just be the cutest seaside village I’ve ever seen 😍 it’s a shame the tide was in as I would have loved to have walked along the sandy beach! The beach is known for rock pools and fossils whilst the village itself has narrow alleyways that have the prettiest little cottages 🏡 it’s a definitely a must visit! Where is your favourite beach? 🏖

Last time I posted on this account I was preparing to go away for the week with Matt to Centre Parcs and we honestly had the best time. It was so lovely to get away. Unfortunately July hasn’t been the best month so I’ve been keeping myself busy with work and running my business hence the lack of uploads. But have a post from our trip away last month 🌳 let’s hope I can get back into regular posting again!

Thank you to Nivea for sending over these skincare and body care goodies!! 

I’ve tried a few of the fresh blends shower gels from @nivea_uk and they’re my favourite! The scents smell so good and the shower gel leaves your skin feeling so refreshed yet soft 🙌 

You really can’t go wrong with the soft moisturiser! I love how you can use this on your body and your face. Who doesn’t love a multi-use product? I’ve been using this a lot on my dry skin and it’s been leaving it so soft and smooth! 

And finally the face cleaning magic bar. I love the concept of these! This is such a refreshing cleanser. It’s perfect for a morning cleanse and making the skin feel more awake 😍

Have you tried any of these before?
Who’s ready for the bank holiday weekend? 💃 I Who’s ready for the bank holiday weekend? 💃 I definitely am! I haven’t been sleeping great the last couple of weeks, I’ve been feeling stressed and exhausted! So I am very much ready for some time away from the everyday 🙌 I’m hoping the weather warms up a bit again and the sun shines as I’m not a fan of this rainy chilly weather!

I treated myself to some body care products from @ I treated myself to some body care products from @frank_bod and I am obsessed 😍😍 

I picked up the original coffee scrub which I used in the shower for the first time yesterday and I think it might potentially be my favourite scrub ever. It was so gentle on the skin. It left it feel so smooth and soft. I’ve never had anything work so well so instantly 🙌 I can’t wait to keep using this! 

I also got the butt first, coffee kit which honestly has just the cutest packaging ever!! How sweet is that coffee cup? ☕️ 

It also came with a sample of their hydrating hyaluronic acid serum!!

Have you tried anything from @frank_bod before? ✨

AD - pr product | @dermalogicauk sent me their pos AD - pr product | @dermalogicauk sent me their post-breakout fix a while back and I’ve absolutely loved using it!

The post-break out fix helps to...
✨fade the hyperpigmentation left behind from spots 
✨improve skin tone 
✨helps restore skins appearance

It can be used on new or old spots. You use it both in your am skincare routine and pm skincare routine. You repeat until the mark fades. 

I’ve not tried anything like this before but even after a few days of using this I noticed that some stubborn scars and marks left behind from spots had started fading. After a couple weeks of using this I noticed an even bigger difference. I even used this on a new spot I got half way through using it and it seemed to clear up quickly than normal which is great. I’m so glad to have this in my skincare routine especially when I’m going through a breakout or want to fade my spots. I haven’t used it in a few weeks as this girl got lazy but I’m going to get back into using it this week as it’s honestly so good 🙌 I would 100% recommend trying this out for yourself!
