I hope that everyone has had a fantastic Christmas and is looking forward to the challenges and joys that 2012 has to offer us.
First of all, I just want to thank every single one of you for reading my blog over the past 12 months. You all mean so much to me, and I'd be lying if I didn't say that I wouldn't still be here without all of you and your support. You've all been incredible.
For the past few years, I've not really bothered with New Years Resolutions, because well, I'm gonna be honest - I am absolutely rubbish at actually sticking to them. But after a year in which I managed to do so many amazing things:
1. Grew my nails to quite a long length (a long-running resolution from my younger years)
2. I managed to read 14 and a half books (I haven't been a consistent reader since I graduated from Uni, so I've really enjoyed getting seriously back into books!).
3. I also managed to complete 50,000 words back in November, which was something that I never thought I would ever be able to achieve (huge thanks to everyone who sponsored me, and of course Allie for your support throughout November :D)
4. Perhaps my greatest achievement has been my Positive Beauty Pledge, which I am incredibly proud of, and I hope will continue to grow over the next 12 months.
So, after a year with immense highs (and of course a lot of lows too), I've decided that 2012, is going to be the year for big change in my life. And yes, that includes a lot of Challenges that I'm going to try really hard to stick to :)
1. Lose two stone in weight
2. Grow my nails again, so that I can do lots more NOTDs!!
3. Finish my novel that I started in November
4. Complete NaNoWriMo again in November 2012
5. Take up a new "creative" hobby
6. Set up a store to sell the things I make in my "creative" hobby ;)
7. Continue to promote my Positive Beauty Pledge
Good luck to all of you in making 2012 a great year, and I look forward to seeing what the next year holds for all of us :D
