"New Year, New Me" // BeautieCollected

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I posted, and as it is the new year I thought what better way to start posting to my blog again than to do a "resolutions" type post. 

The phrase "New year, new me" is one of which I never use as I personally feel that just because the clock strikes midnight and it's a new year, doesn't mean you can just change at the drop of a hat. It's something that takes time, and if you really want it, you'll get there. Also "changing" is the worst word to use to describe it, as you can't really change who you are, it's more like growing to be a better person in whatever aspect it is you want to improve yourself on!

With that being said, I'm going to tell you my resolutions for 2015 and things I hope to accomplish by the end of the year!

  • Lose Weight: Now I know this is a cliché and almost every man and his dog makes this resolution, which is fair enough however there isn't many people that stick to it, and it's one of the most common resolutions to be broken. I'm doing it personally because I need to. It will aid me in more ways that one to lose some weight and just overall become a lot more healthier with my food intake etc. So with this resolution in mind, in the close future I am hoping to post some lifestyle posts about how I'm doing and things that work for me, you can expect these to come towards the end of February as I need a bit of time to figure out what does work!
  • Post More: I'm ideally wanting to get back into the swing of posting twice a week on my blog. It's going to be hard for a while as I have a lot of coursework and exam prep happening really soon. However by April I'm hoping to be on a 2 posts a week routine, sticking to the beauty and lifestyle theme I'm already on!
  • Be Active: This kind of links with my first resolution of getting healthier and losing weight. I want to become more active, even if it's just meeting up with friends for a couple of hours, going out for a walk or a bike ride. Something to get me out of the house in my spare time, as right now, there isn't much of that happening!
  • Learn to Drive: I'm turning 17 this year and one thing I really want to do by the end of this year is have driving lessons and *fingers crossed* pass my test! The fact I'll legally be allowed to drive a car scares me, but there is also that element where I just want to jump in and do it!
  • Grow My Hair: Just before Christmas, I had my hair cut from being hip length to above my collarbones...yes I know, I almost cried. My hair was so damaged though so it needed a bit of life putting back into it. I know it's going to take more than a year to get it back to that length, however I'm hoping for it to be past my shoulders by this time next year!
  • Pass My AS Levels: I'm currently studying A Levels and obviously one of my goals is to pass these to be able to go on to A2 and then make the jump from college to university in 2016!

So those are all of my resolutions I can think of just now. If I have any more I'll be sure to make a part two, if it's worth it! Let me know some of your new year's resolutions!

Take Care!
