6 Goals for 2016

It's 1 week into the New Year and I've been thinking about things I'd like to achieve in 2016. Looking back at my 15 Goals for 2015, it's safe to say I didn't do as well as I'd hoped. 15 goals was a lot to keep track of, which meant I only managed to do half of the things on my list. This year I'm going to concentrate on 6 goals that I reeeally want to achieve... which means no excuses for not doing them!

Read 50 Books

This was one of the goals I didn't manage to achieve last year. What's really annoying is I was right on track to completing it, up until my Kindle broke in November. This year I'm determined to do it! You can follow my progress on Goodreads here if you're interested. Feel free to send over any recommendations too!

Run 5K

Up until last year I'd always been a bit of a couch potato. Then last summer I started jogging for 30 minutes 3-5 times a week and was amazed at how much of a difference it made to my mood and appearance. I'd officially caught the exercising bug! I started slacking a bit towards the end of the year (blame it on the weather), but I'm determined to up my game in 2016 and reach a point where I can run 5k (without stopping). I've even joined a gym by where I work so I can exercise on my lunch breaks too!

Learn to crochet

When I was a little girl my Nan taught me how to knit, and it's a skill I sometimes take for granted. In the past I've made cuddly toys, baby clothes and even a woolly blanket (which sat proudly on my bed at Uni for 3 years). A few weeks ago I found a crochet pattern for a Star Wars patchwork blanket, and it made me think about how I'd really like to learn how to crochet too! Now I just need to ask my Nan to teach me ;-)

Travel More

I'm kind of cheating a little with this one, because I already have 2 trips planned for January alone! Next weekend I'm heading down to London to visit one of my friends from University, then the weekend after that I'm off to Florida(!!!) I haven't mentioned this on the blog or social media yet, as I'm going as part of a work trip so I don't feel like I can talk about it in too much detail. Basically I'll be there for 5 days and I'll be visiting 4 parks; Busch Gardens, SeaWorld, Aquatica and Discovery Cove. It'll be a bit of a whirlwind but I'm really excited about it! Falcon's Fury here I come...

Blog at least 1 outfit a week

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this one, but I'm going to try my hardest! Putting together my 2015 Year in Outfits blog post made me realise just how much I miss doing them. I work full time so I find it difficult to take pictures in the week, but I'm going to try and take at least one set of photos on the weekend (as long as the weather behaves itself).

Reach 500 Bloglovin' followers

Another blog-related goal! I know blogging isn't always about the numbers, but it's nice to know that there are people out there that like reading my blog enough to follow it. I'm on 285 at the moment - if you fancy helping a girl out you can find me here!
