2017 is the year I get my head down, not necessarily in the sense of work, as to be honest I've always been pretty dedicated to that, but in the sense of doing more of what I love. In a nut shell I'm going to save my money (which is one of my major weaknesses) for my for important things, such as experiences, and enjoy life.
Devastatingly my Grandad is extremely unwell and it's got my family and me really thinking that life is just too short and we should take advantage of it whilst we can. Something that really stuck with me is when my Mum was explaining how my Grandma was talking to a patient and his wife in a bed opposite my Grandad in the hospice. They were telling her how they have so much regret as they planned to experience life properly together in their retirement but due to the husbands terminal illness they can't. To me this just shows how we should live life for the now - cringey but very true. With that in mind my family have booked a very exciting trip away in a few months which will most definitely be the source of several blog posts!
This year I also want to do more for charity. With my Grandad being ill I've seen the amazing work that hospices do (particularly volunteers) and this has inspired me majorly. My Grandad himself is an extremely charitable person so it's got me thinking that I want to do more. As of yet I don't know what form this will take as I don't want to simply give donate money.
On a lighter note I've had a sudden urge to create lots of blog content. The thing that I struggle with is finding the time in and amongst the chaos that is life. However, I'm determined to find a way. I've got plenty of blogpost ideas that I'm eager to share with y'all.
A few days ago I got my nose pierced! I've wanted it done for a while and the other day after college I went and took the plunge. At the moment I've got a stud in but eventually I want to change it to a hoop as just love the way that looks and when I see it on other girls I always envy them! Considering I've only had it for 2 days I'm really liking it but the stud has already come out once and I freaked out. However, after a quick visit to the piercing place all was fine.
So there you have it, a random mixture of what's going on in my life. I hope everyone has had a lovely Christmas break and are so far enjoying what the new year has to offer. I hope to be back very soon with a more fashion-based blogpost.
