New Years Resolutions - Update


Hello girls, I hope you are all doing well. Happy April to you all. This year is going so fast. A little bit too fast for my liking, as I only have 1 month and 15 days until my first exam, which is a little bit scary.

Anyway, here are my New Years Resolutions updates, I hope you enjoy. And as always, leave me a comment letting me know how all of you are getting on.



  1. Follow my skin care routine day and night. 
  2. Brush my teeth every day and night.
  3. Take my vitamins everyday. 
  4. Eat cleaner/healthier.
  5. Exercise at least 3 times a week.
  6. Work harder at school and work, so I can get into university.
  7. Read 6 books by the summer holidays. 
  8. Appreciate all that I have more often.
  9. Do something that scares me at least once a month.
  10. Learn to play the ukulele.

  1. Follow my skin care routine day and night: I have been doing this pretty much every single night. Occasionally I will miss a night, mostly because it is really late, I'm stressed and just want sleep. Sometimes I skip the water and face wash and just use a face wipe/baby wipe, then do the rest of my routine at night, but I try not to do this very often. I did a post on my skin care routine if you want to see it. 
  2. Brush my teeth every day and night: Again, pretty much every single night. Missing nights for the same reason as my face.
  3. Take my vitamins everyday: This is the only resolution I have never broken and I am so proud of myself for this. 
  4. Eat cleaner/healthier: This one has been up and down all month, some days I do amazing and others I basically only eat junk food. I don't know why I am struggling with this one so much, but I am going to try harder this month, starting right now, and I really hope I can do it. Can I have some encouragement, please?
  5. Exercise at least 3 times a week: I exercise every single day. What I do isn't much, but I feel like, even if I only do 5 minutes, it's better than nothing. I do calf-raises every morning when I'm brushing my teeth. I used to do it at night as well, but I've changed that to squats, so that my entire legs are getting a good workout. It really works too, my legs feel so much more toned and I love it.
  6. Work harder at school and work, so I can get into university: I am slowly getting my motivation back for doing school work. It's hard but I'm so glad I'm doing it. I know I'm going to be unbearable to live with over the next few months, as I will be incredibly stressed, but it will be worth it.
  7. Read 6 books by the summer holidays: I'm struggling with this one. However I hope to finish at least 2 book over the Easter break, which will bring my total up to 3. Then I plan on finishing another book over the next month, meaning it would work out at a book a month, which takes some pressure off of me.
  8. Appreciate all that I have more often: This month has been hard for me, however as the month ended, I did feel like I was appreciating all that I had more. However, you can't expect me to love everything all of the time ha-ha.
  9. Do something that scares me at least once a month: I did do this one, however I would rather not go into it, as it is something rather personal, I hope you don't mind :)
  10. Learn to play the ukulele: I have been practising this month, although I still can't play. I hope to get better over the next month though and I am excited to keep practising.
Well that is all of my resolutions. How are you guys doing? Let me know in the comments below :)

I have another post planned for today, so please check back later.

Talk to you all soon.

Have a beautiful day and DFTBA

  1. I like most of your list and it is very similar to mine. All except the read 6 books. I read a lot and fast. I can read about 15 books a week. But other than the book thing and the ukulele, everything is the same. Although I always have wanted to learn the ukulele.

    1. Wow, that is a lot of books a week! I used to read a lot, but have found that I lack concentration lately. You should totally learn the ukulele, it is such an amazing instrument :)

      Have a beautiful day
