Christmas Haul 2015

Hey everyone and Merry Christmas! Although this is going up on Boxing Day. 

I hope you all had the best day yesterday and are still enjoying the festive season. Remember to eat as much of the delicious food as you can! :) 

So I thought I would do what I did last year and do a Christmas Haul and show you the main presents I got this year! 

*Disclaimer: I am not trying to show off in any way, shape or form. I am doing this because I enjoy finding out with others got for Christmas. I am so grateful to all my family for everything I received!* 

So the first thing I got was Taylor Swift merchandise because as you all know, I love Taylor: 

I got a Taylor Swift hoodie which I love and is so comfortable and two of CDs that I didn't have in hard copy (1989 and Taylor Swift) from my parents, one of her perfumes (enchanted wonderstruck) from my cousins and it smells divine! Also a 'dress up Taylor Swift' book from Libby which I love because it shows you actual outfits she's worn and I've been using it loads! Thankyou everyone I love it all<3

Here is a close up of the perfume because the bottle is gorgeous! 

One of my main presents were these amazing boots from Dune 

I really wanted a pair of almost knee high boots as I had some a couple years ago but grew out of them and I love boots! I'm so grateful to my grandparents, I have already worn them a couple times! 

One of my favourite presents are these makeup brushes by Aikosmetics 

I love them so much, they come beautifully packaged and are absolutely stunning and are really soft! Before Christmas I was going to ask for the Real Techniques bold metals collection but we all know how expensive they are, I came across these one day on Instagram and fell in love! Not many people know about this company but they are amazing, the brushes are so pretty and they package them so nicely and make it so special! You can get the full set, the essentials set or now buy them individually, I will definitely be doing a full review of the whole collection sometime in 2016! 

I also got a few makeup bits from my Aunty :) 

A few stila products, a Mac mini brush set, Mac eyebrow pencil and white eyeliner and a ciaté nail polish. Love them all! 

The last thing I'll tell you about is clothing and pyjamas. 

I got a new outfit which is a denim A line skirt, a checkered shirt and navy blue flats. The pyjamas I got was two sets of checkered pyjamas, one full length trousers which are red with a navy blue vest top and the other are grey, blue and pink checkered shorts with a turqoise vest top because I generally wear vest tops as pyjama tops, and I love pyjama shorts! I also got a really fluffy white hoodie/cardigan thing and soft baggy leggings/sweatpants to lounge around the house in and they are both so comfortable and soft. 

I would like to thank everyone for my presents (even though most of them won't read this, except Libby who is like to thank: Thankyou so much Lib it's such a cool book! I've been using it so much and also the tree decoration is so pretty :) and Thankyou to anyone who wished me a Merry Christmas and Thankyou to anyone reading this because it makes my day when people read my posts! 

Well and I guess I'll speak to you all in the new year! 

Until Next Time/Next Year

Makeup Revolution Iconic 2 Palette Review

I've always wanted the Urban Decay Naked Palettes. Unfortunately for me they are about £30-something each so that idea was out of the window. However luckily enough makeup revolution have created amazing dupes for all three of the naked palettes! And at the affordable price of only £4. 

It has a great range of matte and shimmery shades, warm toned and cool toned. Going from light to dark, it is amazing for everyday and also if you have a fancy occasion, it is great for creating smoky eyes! 

Here are swatches of all the shades after just one swipe. They are so pigmented for the price and almost exactly like the naked 2 palette! 

The black is especially pigmented, and I use it for my eyeliner a lot! 

So if you are like me; desperate for the naked palettes, maybe try out these palettes first! I will definitely be picking up the other two and maybe trying out some other makeup revolution palettes.

Hope you enjoyed this short review! Let me know what your favourite makeup revolution products are. 

Until Next Time

Blog Anniversary Post ~ Autumn Lookbook

Hey Guys!

So as you have probably guessed by the title that this is going to be an Autumn lookbook, however there is a very special reason that I have uploaded this today, the 13th of October. It is because today is the first anniversary of It's-Anna's-Life! I've been sharing my thoughts and opinions and ideas with the internet via this blog for a year now. That it so crazy to me! We also hit 8000 views about a month ago which is amazing and I would like to say a massive thankyou to anyone who reads my blog!

I wanted to do something special for today so I decided to do an Autumn lookbook because I love Autumn, fashion and lookbooks, so I thought it would be fun. Here you go!

Look 1: Casual Day Out Look

Shirt - Primark

Bandeau - New Look

Jeans - Primark

Jumper - H&M 

As we go into Autumn the weather is very  changable. At the moment it is at that stage where it isn't too cold but there is a sharp breeze in the air. This look is perfect because if it starts to get a bit chilly you can just pop a casual sweater on, you can't see it here but I love how the cream shirt collar sits on top of the jumper! 

Look 2: Relaxed Weekend Look

Top - TK Maxx 

Jeans - Primark

I love this one because it is so comfortable, this top is so soft and I love the different lengths of it! It is very swishy and quite boho. These jeans weren't ripped when I got them but I've had them for over two years so the knees wore down. I love the light wash colour! 

Look 3: Dressy Day/Evening 

Top - Primark (surprisingly) 

Skirt -

Necklace - Random shop in Mallorca 

Tights - Anywhere 

Boots - 

This look can be quite versatile as you can dress it up with a bit more jewellery and a nice cardigan or leather jacket to make it more of an evening look, or keep it casual with a big jumper over the top or just as it is! :) I also love a bit of tarted so this skirt is perfect. 

Look 4: Cozy Autumn Day 

Crop Top - Topshop

Highwaisted Jeans - H&M 

Cardigan - Primark

Beret - Accessorize 

Shoes - Rocket Dogs 

Bracelet - Cancer Research 

I've saved my favourite look until last, this outfit is casual and cozy but still looks like you put some effort in, the white and black threads running through this gorgeous big cardigan make this whole outfit come together nicely. It is great for Autumn because it can still be warm outside so this look keeps you cozy whilst not being to hot! 

So I hope you enjoyed this Lookbook! I loved writing it and getting the photos! Leave blog post suggestions down below :) 

Until next time

Current Favourites!

Hello everyone!

We all know I struggle to keep up with monthly favourites, so every once in a while I like to do a little post called "my current favourites" this way I'm almost guaranteed to be loving something new and I don't have the stressfulness of trying to keep up with it every month! 

I'm going to just try and think of one or two items for each category (Makeup, Hair, Skincare, Fashion, Food, Music, Random)


Makeup:

Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow in Always a Bridsmaid

I recently got this from my Aunt and it's the first benefit product I've tried as I've never felt like spending the amount that some of their products cost! However I must say it is such a good cream shadow, it blends in so well but you can build it up too, which gives you the option to wear it as a base, a light coverage shadow or if you want a bolder look then you can keep adding. It's a really pretty pale lilac shade and I've been wearing it most days for school on its own. I blend it out so it is lighter and makes my eyes look a bit bigger.


Hair:

I have two favourite hair products at the moment because we all know I'm a bit obsessed and I'm always trying new hair products.

I've been loving umisliquid. I'd never heard of it before now but I'm really liking it! I hate the packaging, I think it looks almost scientific, but the actual product is really good, it is an "Aloe styling liquid" an it smooths down your hair and adds shine. This is great for me as I have extremely frizzy hair so it's always nice to smooth it down a bit. 

I have also been using the Moroccanoil luminous hairspray. It's great because it doesn't leave your hair with that typical crispyness you can get from other hairsprays. It also helps to tame flyaways. 

Skincare:

I'm fairly sure that everyone and their mum has either heard someone rave about this makeup remover or raves about it themselves! I am of the latter category, it removes my eye makeup quite wonderfully and is gentle on my very sensitive skin! Not a bad word to say about this one. 

Fashion:

My current fashion favourite is this gorgeous and also massive cardigan, it goes with everything because it has black, white and grey wool running through it, and it is the warmest most cosy thing that's still acceptable to wear out! I love it and I will be wearing it a lot this Autumn/Winter. 

Food:

Pancakes! I have been seating a lot of pancakes recently (of the crepe variety) and I have become quite the pro at making them! They are extremely yummy and you can put almost anything on them! (My favourite is homemade chocolate sauce) 

Music: 

I wouldn't be being true to myself if I didn't say my current music favourite is Wildest Dreams. The song is amazing. The video is so so so good. I'm sure your all tired of me gushing about Taylor almost every single post! Here are some other songs I've been loving: 

• Peanut Butter Jelly ~ Gelantis 

• Trap Queen ~ Fetty Wap 

• Like I'm gonna loose you ~ Meghan Trainor & John Legend 

• Earned it/Is this love mash up by Alex Aiono and Vince Harder 

• Should've been us ~ Tori Kelly 

Random: 

I have been loving the program Hunted on Channel 4 it's really cool watching how they track people down and trying to think of what I'd do if I was on the program! 

Thankyou for listening/reading my rambling on about what I've been enjoying recently! Exciting post to come in just under a months time, I'm posting it on the 13th of October for a very special reason (see if you can guess) 

Until Next Time

Would You Rather? - Collab Post

Hey guys, so today I have a rather exciting post for you! I have another Collab with my blogger friend Abbie from Simply, Me! I feel like we will have to make this a seasonal thing seeing as the last Collab we did was at the start of summer and it is about to be the start of Autumn.

So we were talking and we decided it would be quite good fun to do a would you rather. So I've chosen 5 questions and so has Abbie and we are both going to answer all 10 questions and see how our answers compare! 

WOULD YOU RATHER? 

1. Would you rather die saving 10 000 strangers from death knowing no one would ever know it was you, or live knowing everyone would know you chose not to save 10 000 people? 

My Answer: I would rather die saving 10 000 people because at least I would know I'd done a good thing. Even if no one else did. 

Abbie's Answer: I would rather die saving 10,000 strangers without anyone knowing it was me, because at least I would have done an amazing thing.

2. Would you rather have the power to become invisible or to fly? 

My answer: Fly because then I could just fly away wherever I wanted to and just get away from things! 

Abbie's answer: Definitely have the power to fly because you could travel wherever you wanted to and see more of the world!

3. Would you rather have to listen to the same song everyday for the rest of your life or not be able to listen to any music at all?

My answer: Not listen to any music at all because although I really love music, I get bored of songs quite quickly so I would end up completely hating the one song! Unless it's Taylor Swift...

Abbie's answer: I would rather listen to the same song every day because I love music way too much to not have it at all. It would have to be my favourite song though!

4. Would you rather be a famous blogger or famous youtuber and why? 

My answer: Famous blogger because then I could do what I love as a job and I'm not a youtuber, I also would be too self conscious about videos of myself being out there. 

Abbie's answer: This is a hard one! I would probably say a famous blogger, because blogging is my hobby and turning that into a job would be pretty cool. However, being a famous YouTuber could bring a lot of big opportunities and I just love YouTube!

5. Would you rather be in love and not be able to kiss or hug them, or not be in love and be able to kiss and hug who you want? 

My answer: hmm that's hard, and the answer would probably change depending on my age. Probably not be in love because it would be horrible to be in love with someone and not be able to hug or kiss them. 

Abbie's answer: I would say not be in love because not being able to hug and kiss someone in a relationship would be so hard.

6. Would you rather eat pizza or ice cream as the only food for eternity?

My answer: well at the moment I'd say pizza because I'm hungry and I don't really feel like ice cream but if you asked me in summer I'd say ice cream. I don't really love pizza that much but I'd probably say it as it is more filling than ice cream. 

Abbie's answer: Pizza, because in the winter eating ice cream would be freezing and you can eat pizza all year round!

7. Would you rather have to sneeze but not be able to or have something stuck in your eye for an entire year?

My answer: I would definitely rather need to sneeze but not be able to, because I get so annoyed and panicky when something is stuck in my eye! I can't do anything until I've got it out. 

Abbie's answer: I would rather be not be able to sneeze because having something in your eye really hurts!

8. Would you rather go into the past and meet your ancestors or go into the future and meet your great-great grandchildren?

My answer: I would rather go into the past because I don't want to spoil the future and I would like to see if I'm like any of my ancestors! 

Abbie's answer: Go into to the future and meet my great-great grandchildren because you could see what they did with their lives and how the world has changed in that time.

9. Would you rather be without internet for a week, or without your phone?

My answer: I would rather be without Internet because, I have mobile data and I also think it's sometimes nice to have a little break from the Internet, I'm not super obsessed with the Internet I quite like being away from it. One of the main reasons I use it for is talking to friends which I could do over text anyway. 

Abbie's answer: Probably be without internet for a week because at least with your my phone I could take photos, text and ring people!

10. Would you rather spend the day with your favorite YouTuber or your favorite movie star?

My answer: Youtuber because I feel like I know them really well because I've been watching them for about four years now almost five actually, and I don't really have a favourite movie star! However if it was the choice between youtuber and favourite singer, I would choose Taylor Swift just because I've loved her since I was about 7-9ish and I know pretty much all the words to all her songs and I would love nothing more than to meet her!! 

Abbie's answer: This is literally the hardest question! I love YouTubers and spending a day with my favourite - Zoe Sugg (Zoella) would be amazing! I love movies too and have a lot of favourite actresses but I wouldn't be able to choose which one! So I'd probably rather spend the day with my favourite YouTuber!

So there's our little collab for you, hopefully we can do more of these as I really enjoy it. :)

Schwarzkopf live colour XXL - Shocking Pink

So at the start of the summer holidays, I decided I wanted a bit of a change so I (against my mums will -initially) temporarily dip dyed my hair a very vibrant pink colour. I used schwarzkopfs live colour XXL in shocking pink which was meant to stay in for 15 washes. You can get it in permenant and 23 washes too I think! 

I thought I'd review the dye for anyone who is thinking about going a crazy colour. 

First things first I loved the colour both when I squeezed it out of the tube and once it was in my hair. The only thing that I will say is that on the box it's looks fluorescent (and I mean really really bright) but that's because all the model on the box have had her hair bleached before hand, or so it says in the leaflet, so when buying this dye, take your own hair colour into consideration! Here is my hair with the dye on it: 

Dyed and blow dried:

As you can see my hair is a light brown colour with a few tiny blonde bits and the colour still came out very bright. I was so happy with the colour pay off. 

It is very easy to apply, I got Libby to help me, it comes with gloves. 

We got three plastic tubs and put a bit of dye in each and put lots of conditioner in one, a bit in another and none in the last one. She applied it using the gloves and a brush and put the darkest/brightest dye on the ends and worked upwards (or downwards-I've forgotten) then when all the hair was saturated we wrapped it in sections in tin foil and left for about 40-45 minutes. It says to leave it for 20-30 on the box but I left it for longer because I had done a test strand and I wanted it to come out brighter than that. 

We then rinsed until the water ran clear as used the conditioner it came with, left that in for about 5 minutes then rinsed. We then blow dried at and ta dah! A fairly simple process which wasn't actually that messy and I was really happy with the results! I love this dye and would definitely use it again, it was cheap and worked well (I'm not sure how much it actually cost but something around the £5 mark maybe less) it didn't make my hair feel any more dry than usual or look frizzy.

The only down side I can think of is how long it lasts, I had it in for about a week without washing it (I don't wash my hair that much because it is extremely dry and frizzy and it doesn't get greasy easily) but then I went on holiday and was swimming everyday, now we all know that cholorine is a very harsh chemical that strips your hair of its natural oils, well I'm guessing it stripped the dye out too as within a couple days the pink was completely gone :( I'm presuming it would have been a different story had I just been at home and washing my hair as normal, but that was my experience with it! 

Over all I loved it and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to dye their hair, just keep in mind it might not last that long but you get what you pay for I guess! 

Hope this helped! 

Until next time

DIY Room Decor - String Art

It feels like so long since I've done this. Written a blog post, I've forgotten what I'm supposed to say haha. Well Hi, hopefully some people have stuck around but I am most likely talking to myself right now! 

Anyway I got back from holiday a couple days ago and I've sort of been stuck for things to do, so yesterday I was scrolling through Pinterest, as I have been doing a lot recently and I came across this amazing looking piece of art called "String Art" I looked at the website and it was under a list of "18 DIY projects to decorate your dorm room" it had this picture but didn't tell you how to do it. I looked string art up on YouTube and loads of things came up, so I decided to give it a go my self. 

What you will need: 

Wood

Naills/Tacs

Hammer

Coloured thread 

The first thing your going to want to do is come up with a design and then make sure you have enough nails for the design you want to do. I decided to do my name with stars on either side. 

Next prep your wood and clean it (mine wasn't in the best condition) I sand papered it then put linseed oil all over it, to make it a nice texture and colour. Next draw your design onto the wood using a pencil. I used a cookie cutter for my stars. 

Now when hammering the nails into the wood you need to make sure they are straight and also that you leave quite a bit of the nail sticking out of the wood. 

Next take a floured thread of your choice I used white, pink and purple, then knot it round one of the pins and intertwined it through the nails. Remember to wrap the thread fully around one nail before going on the next! 

These stars are my favourite bit because the white stands out a lot against the wooden background. 

And there's the finished product, if I had to do something differently I would have painted the wood white first as my name would have stood out more, (I would have done the stars a different colour) however I am really happy with the outcome! If you try this out please let me know how it went and what design you went for! Thankyou for reading.

Until next time

Maybelline Lash Sensational Review!

I have never had a good mascara, until now. I was never bothered enough to spend £7-£8 to get a decent mascara, mine were all Primark or cheap £1 ones. Now I know that £8 is hardly extortionate but I don't have a way of earning money so I have to really want something to buy it. (Unless I've saved up a bit to go shopping, then I will spend it all!) Aftee reading a few reviews and looking at different mascara a I finally decided to pick up the Lash Sensational Mascara by Maybelline. 

It is so good. I've heard from others that it is a dupe of benefits roller lash! 

This mascara makes my eyelashes longer, fuller and darker. I love it! I have actually had compliments on my eyelashes. 

The wand itself is plastic and has a side with longer bristles and a side with shorter bristles to grasp and pull your lashes upwards. I also love the darker rosy purple colour of the packaging! It is sleek and pretty.

Here is a before and after picture of two coats (I think, it might have been one):

And yes I know my eyes are an ugly swamp green colour! 

Anyway I would really recommend this product! It is about £8 and is most definitely worth it. 

What's your favourite drugstore mascara? 

Until next time

Current Favourites!

Before I start can I just say, the picture I used for the edit above, I found it on google and HAD to use it! I love it so much, it includes my favourite things, mint green, pink, chevron (love chevron) and flowers! Okay now I'll get on with it...

I said a little while back that I was going to do monthly favourites, I did January then just kind of stopped. Hopefully you read my post last week (I think) about not having a schedule any more so I move decided to just do favourites posts whenever I want, probably about every couple months or something like that! 

So here's a few things I've been loving recently. 

1. Shu uemera eyeshadow

I've been wearing a light pink shade by this company every day for school because it's really natural but still gives a light shimmer.

2. Rose Perfume

I've talked about it in a few blog posts, but I just love it! It smells like spring and summer in is amazing! 

3. Hoodie

I literally live in my Hollister hoodie, I love the colour and it is so soft and warm! I definitely recommend hollister for the best hoodies.

4. Smoothies

I drink smoothies all year round, they are my favourite drinks, I'm definitely going to be doing a whole post about them really soon so look out for that! 

5. The Silent Sister by Diane Chamberlain

This book is amazing! It gripped me right from the start and I really enjoyed it. I won't give anything away because some people might want to try it, but it's about a girl who is looking through family belongings once her father had died and uncovers a few family secrets! There are lots of plot twists and it's just really good.

6. Music:

The main songs I've been loving the past couple months are Style and Crazier by Taylor Swift and also anything by The Kooks who are the best band! I love all their songs even though they are quite old, I've always loved the kooks, my favourites are Seaside, She Moves in her own way and Naive. 

7. TV 

I started off this year loving Gossip Girl but I've just started watching Pretty Little Liars a couple weeks ago and I'm Obbsessed! I need to know who A is. I literally can't stop watching it! I still like Gossip Girl but PLL is better and I'm just going to wait to finish GG another time. Both of these are on Netflix and I really recommend both! By the way don't be put off by either of the names because they sound really girly but PLL is actually really creepy and is about a missing/dead girl. Just watch it!

8. Apps

At the moment I'm trying to get healthier and fitter so I have downloaded some health/fitness apps and my favourites are My Fitness Pal, 30 Day Squat Challenge and Low Fat. My Fitness Pal lets you track what your eating, how much excersise your doing and how much water your drinking. It tells you how many calories are in different things and how many calories you should be eating a day depending on you age, height, gender and if you want to loose, gain or maintain weight.

These are just a few things that popped into my head that I've been loving! It's not much but I just thought I'd share them with you. Tell me what your favourites have been recently in the comments below! 

Also I wrote a blog post for someone else's blog and it has just been posted! Please go check it out and some of Sineads other posts while your there, thankyou! http://www.sinnysully.com/2015/03/annas-favourite-hair-products-guest-post.html?m=1

A New Year, A New Chapter: Collab ft lots of bloggers!!!

Happy 2015 everybody! 

(I'm aiming to upload this on New Years Day but who knows when I'll wake up? You know, after partying hard the night before! Just kidding, we are now staying at home for New Years Eve so I don't think there will be much hard core partying going on :'))

Right well I was just going to do a boring old post about my New Years resolutions and it would have been, well, just like the next persons blog post about New Years resolutions. 

But then I had an idea. 

(And before I explain I just wanted to say a massive thankyou to Zoe one of my best Twitter friends (@velvetsuggdeyes and www.the-beauty-birdie-says.blogspot.co.uk) because I wouldn't have done this without you, it's your project too! And good luck with your blog this year, I'm sure it will be brilliant! {everyone go check it out now,actually after  you have read this post:)} Oh and your amazing and I hope we stay friends for a long time! You can always talk to me if you need anything!)

I wanted to bring all my favourite bloggers (and anyone who wanted to join in) together, as a way of showing how grateful I am that blogging can bring me so many new friends. I also hope that this inspires you to maybe make a blog or do something different, something out-going, this year.

Let's start this year, this chapter, off with a bang. Let's hope it's a good one. :) 

So here are some paragraphs written by me and a few other bloggers, enjoy:

Me (its-annas-life.blogspot.com):

Although 2014 wasn't the best year for me, one of the best things that happened to me was that I started this blog! It makes me really happy writing posts, little updates, tips and I love how it can allow me to make friends with someone who could live on the other side of the world! 

This year I decided to only make one New Years resolution because then I'm more likely to keep it:

• Be happy with who I am and don't try and change for the sake of someone else. I over think things way to much, I want to be a lot happier in 2015.

There are a lot of other things I would like to do in 2015 like doing things I've never done before, be adventurous, and maybe meeting some youtubers especially Zoë because I've been watching her for 3-4 years now and her videos make me so happy :) 

-Anna(me)

Zoe (the-beauty-birdie-says.blogspot.com):

So before now, I wasn't ever the type of person to make resolutions let alone stick to them! I mean of course, when I was asked I'd make up a few common ones on the spot like eating healthy or whatever. However, this year I'd really like to make a serious effort to make genuine resolutions and stick to them. So here are mine. In 2015 I'd like to:

-Get much more organised.

Now I am quite an organised person but recently my priorities have been all over the place and now that I am doing GCSE work I cannot afford to waste time doing things like watching TV when I have a lot of homework anymore. 

-To keep on schedule with blog posts.

I know that I have not long had this blog but I would really like to always post on here regularly (about 2-3 times a week) and hopefully I will gain a lot from doing this blog.

-Do more charitable volunteering or just charity work.

Lately, thanks to Louise, (SprinkleOfGlitter) I have been thinking a lot about how lucky I am and how there are many people out there who are not so lucky and who need people like us to help them out, so please leave any suggestions in the comments on some charity work that I could do, bearing in mind I am 14 years old. 

I wish you all the luck with your New Year's resolutions, if you have any and if not I wish you a happy New Year!

-Love Zoe 

Ella (Ellawashere.com):

I’ve never been the New Year resolutions kind of girl. I would just get too disappointed in myself If I  wasn’t able to stick to them. But I do have a few things I would like to do in 2015. Like visiting Disneyland for example. I have never been there and It is about time that I finally do it. I would also love to visit a few new places, places I have never been. I am a traveller at heart and would love to travel the world one day. But for now, a few trips a year would have to do.

I would also love to meet a few more bloggers and broaden my blogger horizon (if that is a thing). Just being able to stick to blogging and inspiring a few people would be amazing. I want to make people smile with what I’m writing, make their lives a little bit better. And I hope 2015 will be THE year to do that!

Never forget, the scariest moment is always just before you start. So 2015 might be your year to start something new and exciting. Something you have always wanted to do. Take a chance and do it!

-Ella

Anna (@floralsuggx):

There are many things that I'd love to achieve within the upcoming year of 2015 but just simple things like getting fit stands near the top of my list. To contribute towards my fitness but also my hobby,  would be to enter a gymkhana which sounds soooo fun! I'd also be glad to get a job as this could help me gain independence and give me some insight on how adult life is.

An amazing opportunity for 2015 for me is to have the chance of meeting my fav youtubers because they're such an inspiration and the experience would just mean so so much to me.

Lastly, I'd just wish for my family and friends to have a happy year and get through each obstacle they may have to face.

-Anna 

The net girl (the-net-girl.blogspot.com):

New Years resolutions have never really been something I have properly thought about. I made some a few years ago, like eat less chocolate or read more books, and it would never, ever happen. So this year, I've thought about them a lot more and these are the ones I've come up with: (I decided to make 3 resolutions so it was more likely I could keep them) 

• To do more exercise: I know this is very general, but it is something I really want to attempt. 

• To care less about what people think of me: In 2015 im determined to the things I want to do without worrying about others opinions.

• To focus more on being happy in general:

Kind of in the same category as resolution 2, but I want to worry less and be happy more. Basically I want 2015 to be care-free

2015 is also the year that I want to do more, I want to try and go to concerts and youtube meet ups, I want to try and get a job and generally do as many things as I can. 2015 is the year I just want to say yes. (eh?!)

Hello to everyone! It's Sara from SaraPags here! Firstly I wanted to thank Anna for letting me write on her nice blog. For me, this has been an amazing year, full of experiences and events. I have a few resolutions though, that hopefully will make next year even better. Blogging-wise, I'd like to see posts not as a way to show people what you own but what you like, so that other people can make the right choice between two products. It has happened quite a lot this year, that I wasn't grateful for the stuff I already had, just because I wanted more. And that's not a good thought.
In my personal life instead, I want to say YES to more occasions that are given to me, and try and not be afraid of new experiences. It seems really easy but I swear to you, for me it's not.
Okay, so these were my two little resolutions for the new year, I promise I'll try to keep them! -Sara

Another year has come to an end and it's time for me to decide upon a couple of new resolutions. Whilst last year I stuck to a really achievable resolution, wearing odd socks everyday which I completed, this year I have decided to choose two resolutions involving blogging. My first is to reach 400 followers on Bloglovin' as I would like to think it is achievable within the next year. I've decided the best way to manage this is to create a blogging timetable and stick to it; which is coincidentaly my second resolution. It also meant that each post was quite detailed and posted on time! Hopefully having a schedule will mean I always have sufficient content which may help me grow my following! These are my two resolutions which I really hope I can achieve! :)
