GOALS FOR 2016

I've never been one for New Year's resolutions. I've never made any as I just know that I wouldn't stick to them. But this year I feel like setting myself a few pretty achievable goals for 2016. Now, this isn't anything like the whole 'new year new me' kind of goals. They're pretty simple and not exactly monumental, but I thought if I write them down, maybe, just maybe, I might be more likely to set my mind to completing them. I'm not going to change the world, but they may change my world for the better.

TOP FIVE SKINCARE HEROES OF 2015

If I had to choose between make up and skincare, I'd choose skincare every time. I'd rather spend more time looking after my skin so that I can spend less time applying make up. I'm yet to find the perfect skincare routine for me, but at the moment I have some products which I'm really enjoying using - so I thought I'd share them with you.

MY TOP 3 BOOKS OF 2015

There really is nothing better than getting lost in a good book. Since I was little, I've always loved to read, but for a couple of years I seemed to go through a phase where I was reading less and less. Very disappointed in myself, I made a New Years resolution for 2015 to make the time for reading and I feel like I've done pretty well - at least I have succeeded at one of my resolutions! This year I have read books that have made me laugh, cry and some that I never wanted to end. I'm always looking for book recommendations, so I thought that I would share with you my top 3 books I have read this year.

DIGITAL DETOX

If we're honest with ourselves, I think the majority of us are guilty of spending too much time staring at our phones. For me, checking my phone and social media became a habit rather than something I was enjoying. Don't get me wrong, I love Instagram, but after aimlessly scrolling for hours seeing each new picture as it was posted, I really wasn't getting any enjoyment out of it.
