The resolution challenge

Wordle: My New Year Non-Resolutions
This year I'm not wasting my time setting resolutions that I will struggle to keep. Promising to keep healthy for a year is pointless when trying to have a healthy lifestyle should be a constant part of life (although resisting the bloody red Lindt chocolates is going to be hard).

So I'm setting myself challenges for 2013 and my little Wordle picture highlights some what I (hopefully) will achieve this year:

Water - I need to drink more water, I find it boring and don't drink my eight glasses a day.  So, for 2013 I must try harder.

Bake - I love cupcakes and cherry scones and need to bake them rather than spend my pennies on less-healthier shop bought stuff.  That leads me to being . . .

Frugal - I've changed my shopping habits:  I buy want I need and don't act on impulse, I write lists before heading for the shops so I'm organised but I could do better.  I need to de-clutter my life so I can use . . .

Ebay - I need to stop being afraid of using Ebay and sell some stuff! That would help with . . .

New experiences - I want to at least achieve or do six new things this year.  Some probably have a cost, so saving money is essential. This starts with . . .

Learning -  my first new experience is starting a college course this month, I'm hoping I am never to old to learn something new.  But I am nervous and worried I won't meet this challenge.  So I need . . .

Confidence -  I need to find some inner confidence in myself to achieve my challenges and also to provide content for my blog.  There's been loads of times that I've wanted to ask to take a picture someone's amazing shoes for the blog, but been to scared to ask.  I'm determined to make a difference this year.

I like how all of these link together, there are some great ideas here. I said I wouldn't make any resolutions but have somehow already managed to compile a long to-do list!
Good luck with your course, what will you be studying?

Hazel - good luck with your To-Do list. I've also downloaded a free Kindle book to help with de-cluttering my life. I'm doing an Advanced Certificate in PR and am very very nervous.x

Spotted on the street

Image
Today, I was 'spotted on the street', well I suppose you could say spotted in the mirror! I've been meaning to do a post on the boots I own but just haven't got round to doing one yet.  So today, as I've started walking to work due to my car being very poorly. The need to get my dogs Jasper and Harvey to and from doggy-day care (my mum's but didn't it just for one second sound like I was Paris Hilton!) means I needed some boots that were made for walking. I usually buy a pair of boots every couple of years, I like to try and find a boot with some detailing that could resemble the vintage footwear like buckles or button detailing.  This pair were one of my last boot purchases bought from Barratts, for around £70, in December 2008 for my planned wedding and honeymoon in Vegas and San Francisco.  Funny story though, I thought I would save these boots for the holidays and choose to leave them in the box untouched until March when I'd be jettin...

where do I start?

I've been neglecting my blog for the past few weeks while I've been suffering from a horrible chest infection.  I've just not had the energy to research shoes and window shop the latest that the high street has to offer. So now I'm dosing up on medicine and determined to get myself back on track. To help kick start my research, I've treated myself to some magazines, including the latest InStyle magazine, with the fabulous Dannii Minogue gracing the front cover. She is one of my favourite style crushes, especially after last year's X Factor.  In my humble opinion, she definitely won the X-Factor fashion crown! In the Style Candy section, they've listed a lovely pair of shoes available at asos.com that meet the nude trend while tickling your fancy with a feather embellishment. These would be lovely for a summer wedding or perhaps a day at the races.  Although I would be quite happy wearing them while doing my ironing! I've learnt  ...

Goodbye 2010

Image
As the door to one year closes, another opens Well 2010 is coming to a close.  It's been a mixed bag of a year: a new government in place, Royal Wedding announcements and the plight on miners trapped underground gripped the world.  For me, there were two significant milestones - my first wedding anniversary and the first year since my sister underwent treatment for cancer with an all-clear (we will have five years of these yearly milestones to go through).  In addition, one of my best friends had her first baby and my cousin got engaged on Christmas Day so we have had a couple of great events, which has made a real change from the last couple of years! This has also been my first year as a blogger, so I wanted to say thank your for popping by my blog, leaving comments and all your support.  I've really enjoyed blogging and hope to continue developing my blog in the year to come. I'm not sure what the new year will bring but I can only wish tha...
