Cannot believe that
it’s now 2017. Where is the time going?! It’s been 7 years now since I first
started my blogging journey and I am thinking that this year will be a year of
change for it. I am looking into changing my layout, changing up my content a bit
but also learning more about photography to improve my photos and possibly
upgrading my equipment.
Looking back on 2016 the first 6 months (well 7) were pretty
good for me. I managed to finish the third year of my degree in Fashion
Communication and Promotion and graduate with a 2:1, went on two holidays with
my boyfriend and celebrated 2 years together and hit a mile stone on my blog of
12 & 13k followers on Twitter! (You can follow me here). I also properly
made a transition to creating beauty content as that is something I am super
interested in at the moment.
The second half of the year was more difficult with the
struggle to find work, being in a car crash and getting tonsillitis twice (talk
about bad luck?!) but the only way is up right? I’ve seen so many posts about
2017 goals and resolutions and so I thought it was only right to share a few of
mine!
1.
Be More Financially Stable
Being an adult is costly right?!
When I was at university I didn’t drive my car and so I wasn’t filling my car
up every other week but now I’m in my car everyday for driving to work! I want
to be able to be in a position where I am able to pay for my car insurance but
also save pennies for other things!
2.
Fall In Love With Blogging Again
2016 was a massive year for the
world of blogging and It’s so inspiring to see so many girls creating amazing
content and being the ultimate girl bosses. I am guilty of comparing myself to
people who do blogging full time so this year I’m going to focus on creating
content I love. I’m looking at posts 3 times of week on here a range of beauty,
fashion and lifestyle content instead of trying to get content up at every opportunity! I am also trying to use Instagram and
Instagram stories more! (You can follow me here.)
3.
Be More Organised (Blogging & Personal Life)
I am guilty of becoming a bit
lazy since I finished university as before I wouldn’t go anywhere without my
diary at uni but now I’ve barely touched a diary. This year I’d like to get a
proper blog schedule going, organise my free time and weekends better and also keep
more on top of things such as doctor’s appointments.
4.
Read More Books
I probably say this every year
but I SERIOUSLY need to read more books. There’s so many books I’d like to read
at the moment including Girl On A Train, Get Your Sh*t Together and
5. Being realistic with my
content
I think it’s so misleading in the
world of blogging and sometimes it’s good to remember why you started in the
first place. A lot of last year I was so focused in churning out content that
now I just want to make sure that the content I do produce that I am proud and
100% happy with everything I think I felt really burnt out by the end of last
year! I’m hopefully going to make 2017 the year of balance. Balancing my blog
alongside my job, being more organised with blogging but also trying to make
sure I don’t burn myself out by worrying about creating content 24/7!
