So I'm a bit late with the New Year resolutions but here they are anyway...
Inside Park Guell in Barcelona - I hope I can travel more this year!
Get organised!
This year I'm really going to get my head down and sort things out. I'm going to clear my desk and organise everything. I'm going to put so much more effort into this blog and everything else I do. I really want to make this year a good year for me and I'm going to do it by using a date diary and keeping on top of everything.
Get my camera fixed!
I've been meaning to do this for months now. I mean how can I be a proper blogger without a good camera? Its been broken since May and it's time to get it sorted. I will get the money together and my camera will be saved!
Get healthy!
Notice this says healthy not thin. I'm fairly happy with my weight and being skinny looks like way too much work, but I do need to eat better. I've been eating really badly lately and that needs to change. I'm going to start eating better and exercising regularly and hopefully I'll start feeling better!
Travel more!
Okay I go on a lot of holidays but I still want to see more of the world. Nothing makes me happier than spending time in a different place and I need to do that a lot more this year. I'm going to write a list of all the places I want to go to and make sure I actually go!
Blog more!
I love blogging but I don't post as much as I should. I'm going to designate more time to writing posts and taking photos and just really put a lot more time in than I do. I love my blog and I want it to be the best it can be!
Save money!
It's so hard to save when there is so much I want to do. I always end up buying little things and make it harder to save for the bigger things I want. This year I need to stop. I'm going to save for driving lessons, holidays, and of course my camera. I will start driving this year!
And that's it! Hopefully I can stick to all that and achieve my goals. These are things I really want to do so I'm going to put a lot of effort in to doing them.
What are your New Year's resolutions/goals for the future?
The Soap And Glory Scrub Of Your Life - RRP £7 for 200ml
This is out of a gift set I got for Christmas. I generally like Soap and Glory products so when I received a whole gift set I was a very happy girl. I had never tried the Scrub Of Your Life before though, so I was excited to try something new.
I suffer with fairly dry skin so I'm constantly trying out all sorts of things to smooth it out and I thought this might help. I followed the instructions and scrubbed away at my arms and legs in the shower. I love the feeling of using exfoliating face wash and this scrub is fairly similar. It seemed to scrub away at my dead skin pretty easily and it also smells unreal.
After moisturizing I felt my skin and although it was a lot smoother I don't think it was that much better than using bog standard exfoliating gloves. Although the product was average I did love the feel and the scent on my skin.
I would give the Soap And Glory Scrub Of Your Life - 7/10
Have you tried the Scrub Of Your Life before? Let me know what you thought!

The Father Christmas bath bomb from lush

So I thought I'd do a little review of one of the bath bombs I got for Christmas - The Father Christmas Bath Bomb from Lush! I have a little confession. This was my first ever bath bomb, and it was amazing!
When I first popped it in the water it fizzed around the bath leaving a trail of pink and green. The colour then changed into a deeper green with bits of yellow and it smelt really nice. I couldn't wait to get in the deep green bath and relax. The bubbles didn't last too long but I wasn't that disappointed. I would definitely recommend that you guys give this a go if they are still selling it!
I'd give this bath bomb - 9/10

These are just a few things I have bought over the last couple of days. I've gone a bit wild with shopping lately and have so soooo many orders on the way. This year I spent a fortune on everyone's Christmas presents so I thought it was only fair that I had a bit of a spend up on myself too. Most of the things I buy are usually in the sale or fairly cheap to begin with so I don't really feel guilty about treating myself!
Metallic Brogues : Ebay £8 // Cami Top : Dorothy Perkins £12
Dress : Ebay £5 // Nail varnish : 99p each // Nail Art : £1.20 both Bodycare
In case you guys hadn't noticed, a lot of my things come from Ebay. It's no secret that I spend a lot of time buying and selling on there so I just wanted to give it a quick mention. I know times are hard for a lot of people so my number one tip for anyone wanting to look good on a budget is go on Ebay! People sell their BRAND NEW clothes for next to nothing so you can pick up a few good bargains! I also get a lot of my things sent from China and they are all super cheap too. I just thought this was worth mention for anyone struggling to budget after Christmas!

I've seen this done on quite a few blogs and I thought it would be a good idea to do a little one of my own! From now on, every month I will post about a few of my favorite beauty items and accessories. Here are my Favorites from December!
Avon Kiss 'n' Go Lipstick // Gold stud bracelet
Favorite lipstick : Kiss 'n' go from Avon. This is actually a fairly old lipstick but I've only just found it again so I making up for lost time. Its slightly lighter than my usual lipsticks which is probably why I like it so much. Unfortunately the sticker with the actual colour name has fallen off so I can't say what colour is it but right now it's definitely my favorite.
Favorite item of Jewelry : Studded bracelet from Forever 21. My sister bought me this for Christmas and I haven't stopped wearing it since. I love gold jewellery and I love how simple this bracelet is. I will definitely be wearing this with my NYE outfit!
Osiris BB Cream // Marc Jacobs Dot perfume
Favorite Foundation : Osiris BB cream. This was another present from my little sister and she couldn't have got it more right. I've been meaning to get a BB cream for a while now and I'm so glad I got this one. I prefer this to normal foundation as it has a moisturizer already in it and as I generally have dry skin this is perfect for me.
Favorite Perfume : DOT by Marc Jacobs. Okay, this has been a favorite for quite a few months now. I bought this perfume after falling in love with is gorgeous scent and unique bottle design at the airport. It costs more than I would usually spend on a perfume but that just makes it more special. I was also lucky enough to receive another bottle for Christmas off Sean, so I can use it more than I have been.
City Colour Nail Varnish // RIdiculously high heels from New Look
Favorite Nail varnish : City Colour No. 36 Silver Moon. I bought this gorgeous nail varnish a few weeks ago from Store 21 and I have been in love with it ever since. I love metalics and although I usually prefer gold, this silver top coat is perfect for putting over most other colours and that's why it's in my December favorites.
Favorite Shoes : Black Block heels from New Look. I bought these gorgeous heels right at the end of November and although I've only worn them a couple times I'm already smitten. I have several pairs of black heels but these are by far my favorites simply because of the chunky heel. I Will definitely be wearing these beauty's for New Years Eve!
