This year I would like to be more active on my blog and social media. I enjoy talking about fashion, makeup, food, books, crochet and family life.
I need to live a healthier lifestyle so I will exercise on a regular basis, make better choices when it comes to food and to drink more water.
I will spend less money this year by choosing what I buy more carefully. This means I will buy less snacks, better quality clothes and accessories and only purchase makeup and skincare when what I need runs out.
Spend my time wisely. I will still have downtime – I really need this in the evenings and easing into the day, but I will scroll through TikTok less and read more or do something creative and productive.
Declutter – I started 2024 by beginning to organise the house. I plan to continue this throughout the year by recycling, donating and selling clothes, shoes, stationery etc.
I’m just going to show a few things that I got for Christmas 2023 as this year, I am focusing less on ‘stuff’. For the last few years, I have been on a journey to try to buy less and I want my online spaces to reflect this. So here are a small collection of the gifts I gratefully received.
Sol de Janeiro Bom Dia Bright Set
My daughter and I love Sol de Janeiro. We share a couple of scents, moisturisers and body washes. I was lucky enough to receive this Jet Set pack and the Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 71 hair and body scent. The travel sizes mean they are perfect for my gym bag and handy for my post-swim showers. I tend to refill these cute little bottles and tubs when they run out either with the full-sized product or any dupes I can find.
Thanks It’s Mac lipstick
Lily Pebbles recommended this shade of Mac lipstick in a YouTube vlog I watched so I added it to my wish list. I always wear similar shades during the day especially when I am in the office. It is glossier than my other favourite, Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk which is a matte lipstick. This is ideal for the winter months as my lips tend to get dry in the cold weather.
Knitwear
I live in cosy jumpers throughout the Autumn and Winter months. I love wearing longer ones like this one from Mango with leggings or shorter ones (pictured below from H&M) tucked into wide fit jeans. Recently, I have had a fairly neutral colour palette in my wardrobe, gravitating towards greys, blacks and beiges. In 2024, I will try to be a bit more colourful. I’ve seen a lot of red on Instagram which should be a a nice place for me to ease back in.
Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoyed my What I got for Christmas post and had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Bx *I DO NOT receive any commission or rewards for any of the links in this post. I have just linked the items for your convenience 🙂
