New Year..... New Start

Hello my lovelies! Happy new year! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year. I had a lovely one, it was quiet but lovely and I was a very lucky girl. 

I wanted to look forward to this year! I am feeling really positive about 2013. I really feel like it is going to be my year! I have some epic things planned so far to look forward to. Me and Matt are going to London at the end of this month and in May we have booked to go to Florida again! I cant wait for that! I haven't been abroad since me and Matt last went to Florida in 2009 and damn it I need some sunshine!!!

In keeping with the tradition of the new year, I have of course made some new years resolutions which I wanted to share with  you. 

1. Weight Loss - I know if I put my mind to it I can lose weight, I have proved it! And I really love slimming world and I know it works! I dont want this blog to become about weight loss but I will share my journey on here with you in the form of any recipes that I do or anything I am loving and my progress as well. I dont just want to lose weight I want to become healthy and fit too! I am going to start going for walks when the weather gets a bit lighter at night too - theres nothing better than putting your music on and pounding the pavements! However when you come home from work at 5 and its pitch black then it doesnt inspire... I also wouldnt mind joining the gym again but I think this is something I am going to weigh up the cost of... maybe when I come back from my holiday I will join completely, however my local gym also does a pay and go option so I may try that first and see how many times I go!
2. Be a better blogger - I love my little blog, its my place on the internet I can share with you all my loves - I am sure my friends and family in the "real world" dont want to sit and hear about shiny products and how much I love them... I havent been the best blogger I can be, I need to nurture my baby again! I want you all to love listening to me as much as I do talking... 
3. Give YouTube another go - Well, Its not that I stopped giving it a go... I have recorded so many videos and then just not got round to editing them and putting them up! I need to stop it, if I record a video I need to put it up!

I have a couple of other daft ones which include keeping up with the good skincare routine I have developed, using up the products I have before buying new ones and keeping my room tidy!

Have you got any new years resolutions this year? Are you sticking to them or have you broken them already?

If you fancy sharing your new years resolutions this year then check out this blog post from the lovely Sarah at The road to being a yummy mummy who is running a competition called on her blog at the moment with the people over at Money Supermarket.com as part of their Get Fit, Feel Epic campaign. Check out her blog post which I have linked above. Also check out the Get Fit, Feel Epic website HERE which had a fab little tool that shows you how much you could save each year by cutting down on some of the things you buy (Cigarettes, Alcohol, Fast Food). Its quite amazing! And I have to say as a gadget lover, the Zip which you can win in the competition sounds fantastic - you have got to love a bit of get fit tech!

So as part of my New years resolution, I shall be back at some point over the weekend...
