2019 Goals & Aspirations

Happy New Year. Hope you had a fun, safe NYE and welcomed the new year in style, myself, I stayed in with pizza and finished watching the Netflix series You. Have you seen it? It’s amazing.

I thought it might be a nice idea to share with you my goals and aspirations for 2019, these are by no means set and I am not putting pressure on myself to achieve them, they are just some goals I want to keep active and work towards. I feel that there is way too much pressure around setting New Year resolutions and I don’t like that vibe.

Improve my photography skills

This is a biggie for me and has always been an ongoing goal, Photography is one of those things that the more you practise, the more you improve so I want to go outside and start shooting more nature and architecture. I have invested in a great Fujifilm mirrorless camera, so I just need to push myself to get up, go out and shoot.

Be more consistent with blog posting

I really want to get into a posting schedule this year, I have been so sporadic my blogging. I am hoping that when I start my 9-5 job I will have more energy and get my passion juice flowing again. I want to post at least twice a week, and I think this is an achievable goal for me right now.

I also really want to save and invest in a MacBook to start using Lightroom to edit my photos, my current laptop cannot even load Photoshop, so I cannot even attempt to use LR at the moment. At the moment I have been using the Tezza App and her presets which are amazing, really recommend the app, it’s so easy to use. I then just tweet in Snapseed and add bokeh etc in Picsart. What editing apps for you use?

Start using a diary

I know this is a weird one as most people already use diaries. I am literally the worst I buy diary’s and never use them (apart from pretty photo props) I really want to just start using one daily, even just to record my periods and dr appointments. At one stage I did want to start a billet journal as they look so cool, but I don’t have the creativity and patience to start one, would love to though. Do you keep a diary?

Sort through my makeup

I’m sure this is a common one with beauty bloggers, but I have so much makeup & I barely have time to most use it, I feel it’s so wasted so I really want a big ole sort out this year and just get down to the essentials.

I have been building some single shadow palettes with colours I have chosen myself (Makeup Geek, Coloured Rain, Colourpop to name a few) and would love to stick to just these. I am so grateful for everything I am sent in PR and feel incredibly lucky. But I also buy a ton of makeup…. I have a problem, can’t resist a pretty palette. My poor Alex drawer are at breaking point… oops!

So that’s it guys. I know it’s only a few goals but there’s no point in setting myself 30 goals and then feel bad if I haven’t achieve any of them, obviously throughout the year these goals will problem change and be added to and that’s the fun of it.

Let me know in the comments if you have any goals for 2019, would love to hear them.
