INTERIORS: HOW TO CREATE YOUR PERFECT BATHROOM?

We've been making some changes to the apartment and we will be painting and giving the whole place a fresh new look. I've started already with the living room by adding some new accessories and changing the colour theme. We are going to do the bedrooms next and then the bathrooms ( we have an en-suite aswell as our main bathroom)

Our bathroom suites are white and we are going to freshen up the paintwork, keeping it all white and fresh. I want to add some new accessories to give the bathrooms a complete makeover.

I love this huge round mirror, it's from Habitat and is gorgeous, it's on trend and will make a big difference.

I'm loving these copper bathroom accessories and think they will add a really nice addition and refresh the whole room.

I really like this Blush Pink colour right now so might pick up a few towels and accessories in this colour, we have blue towels at the moment so this will make quite a big difference.

This long mirror radiator from DesignerRadiatorShowroom.co.uk comes in a Rose Gold colour which would be so cool and would match with my colour theme perfectly. You can actually head over to the DesignerRadiatorShowroom.co.uk website to enter a competition to win £250 to spend on making your dream bathroom into a reality.

MY GOALS FOR 2017!



LET'S DO THIS!! 


I feel like 2016 was a really hard year for myself and alot of people around me. I read back through my goals for 2016 and i'm so proud of myself for what i've achieved. 

I haven't achieved all of my goals for 2016 but I have ticked off most of them. I'm really proud of my blog and feel 2016 was a great year for my blog, i've spent alot of time working with new brands and my instagram game has stepped up. My pictures are alot better and I feel I have been blogging alot. 
I've worked with some amazing brands this year such as Kurt Geiger, Jamie's Italian, Johnny Loves Rosie, Freya, The Clothes Show, Rush Hair, Benito Brows and many many more. 

I got my 2 and a half stone award for Slimming World, I didn't manage to get to target but I got very close!! 

Clint and I still have our flat and we've managed to budget for a whole year and have loved living together. 

We went to Turkey on Holiday with my mom. 

A few of our friends have had babies :) 

2016 hasn't all been great though, 

A close family member was ill and in hospital which was so horrible, she's back to her normal self and much better now which is amazing and i'm so grateful.

One of my friends had a really horrible thing happen to her and her family and I hate that something so horrific could happen to such an amazing person in my life. She will never get over it but shes so so strong and i'll always be there for her.

I was diagnosed with Anxiety, I had 3 weeks off work and was really down. It affected work and my blog. I didn't blog much and I didn't Vlog for a while so it have a big impact on my everyday life.
However towards the end of 2016 I went on an anxiety course and learnt all about Anxiety and I haven't had any symptoms yet in 2017 and i'm so proud of myself as I feel i've used the course to manage my symptoms.

Personally my year wasn't that bad in comparison to others I know that! I know that 2016 as a whole was pretty shit, we lost some amazing people and theres been alot of change. Brexit and Trump are just two of those changes but It's 2017 now !

MY GOALS FOR 2017!! 

- BE MORE POSITIVE ( i know that a cliche) 
after being so down and unhappy because of my anxiety I want to look at life in a positive way and have a much more positive mindset.

- GET BACK TO SLIMMING WORLD AND GET TO TARGET
I'm actually going back to group tonight and I know I can do this!

- GO ON HOLIDAY
We did it last year so i'd love to save up for another holiday maybe later in the year or maybe even book somewhere amazing for 2018

-SEE FRIENDS MORE
We have amazing friends and I feel like sometimes work comitments can get in the way. I want to make more of an effort to see friends more. I did start this towards the end of 2016. 

-RESEARCH CAREER OPTIONS
One of my goals for 2016 was to start my teaching career whether it be work experience etc and I didn't manage to do this. I'm not sure what I want to do whether I still think teaching is for me. I want to do some research into jobs and teaching etc and decide my next move with my career.


LIFESTYLE : GOALS FOR 2016



I'm just writing this blog post for me and as a little push for 2016, I did a similar post last year and I'm happy to say I feel I succeeded in 3 out of my 4 goals. 2015 was hard! I had alot going on at home and still have alot going on but 2015 was also freeeeking awsome!


BEST BITS OF 2015
- Florida, we went to Florida and did Universal, I spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars in Sephora. It was such a perfect trip. It was amazing spending time with Clint and we had the best time!

- Dublin, we went to Dublin for Clint's Birthday. We didn't know if we would be going away again this year after our trip to America as we spent loads but we managed to book Dublin. We had such a great trip. We did loads of sightseeing and had a great time!

-Ibiza, Ibiza was mental. It was so so amazing, Florida was obviously our best holiday but Ibiza wasn't far behind. We did a boat party, paint party, bar crawls, ocean beach club went to Amnesia. It was so crazy, we were there for my birthday which was amazing and went to Ibiza Rocks!

Also in 2015, two of our best friends got married and we had such a lovely time at their wedding, they went to Las Vegas on their honeymoon and I was just so happy to see them get married and this really was a highlight for me this year.

One of my goals for this year was to pass my driving test and I DID IT! I did my theory and my driving test, i failed my driving test first time but passed second time round. I'm so proud of myself because this is something I really wanted to do.

The best thing I have achieved this year was getting our own place, Clint and myself have been looking for awhile, we couldn't find something we were really happy with and when we did find somewhere we were either not picked or someone else got it first and we were struggling. We managed to find somewhere and it's seriously perfect. We are so so happy here and we managed to find a property which is close to work, and its part furnished so we didn't have to buy loads of appliances etc. It's seriously perfect, we've only been here just under 2 months but its home. I know we will be here for awhile.

Finally my goals for this year, I just want to be happy.
We will struggle this year because now we have our own place we have our own bills to pay etc so we won't be able to afford 3 holidays like last year but thats fine, we knew what we were signing up for. I hope we can save and go away somewhere even if its just for a few days.
I want to get somewhere with my teaching whether thats just applying again and getting some work experience or getting a teaching assistant job in a school, I'm ready to start my career now, my only issue is now I have bills to pay and a flat to keep on top of, but i'm going to be positive.
I really want to keep on top of my blog, one of last years goals was to improve my blog and photography, I feel my blog has grown but not as much as i'd hoped so this year I want to concentrate on the social media and SEO aspect of my blog.
