Five goals for 2024

  • 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.

Ten quick facts about me

  1. I am 42 years old.
  2. I am a morning person and can get more done if I wake up early.
  3. I would prefer: to be too hot (over too cold), cats (versus dogs) and coffee (more than tea).
  4. I listen to music every day and by favourite artists are the Backstreet Boys, Taylor Swift and Britney Spears.
  5. I don’t really like to exercise but I feel better when I do. I find, swimming, a spin class or rowing the most enjoyable.
  6. Even though my dad died 11 years ago, I frequently have vivid dreams about him where we do everyday things. When I wake up, as I remember most of that dream it often feels like he’s still alive and I just spent ‘yesterday’ with him.
  7. In my spare time, I like to read or crochet whilst listening to an audiobook.
  8. My top three favourite books are the Midnight Library by Matt Haig, Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney and The Seven Sisters by Lucinda Riley.
  9. I would describe myself as kind, creative and sensitive.
  10. If I was only allowed to watch one genre of TV or film it would be crime drama closely followed by a romcom.
