1. Completed: I completed goal one for the year - working on my health and fitness. I made sure I made doc appointments etc. went to the gym and lost a bit of weight, started eating smaller portions of healthier foods. Felt healthier and fitter to and that's one of the best feelings in the world!
2. Failed: I didn't complete my second goal of finishing books I've started and never finished and they remain unfinished.
3. Completed: From my working out and using all the knowledge of math I have, I've worked out to get an average of a 2.1 this past academic year which I think is great.
4. Completed: I saved up a lot of money from working multiple jobs and being quite strict with spending at times and I managed to save some money to go on holiday twice and some spare money left over for after graduation this year!
5. Completed: I secured not one but three placements but I chose the one that would fit my situation best and I'm glad I did. I got to experience so much working for this organization.
6. Completed/Failed: My to-do list has shortened quite a bit, but there are things still left on it to complete!
7. Completed/Failed: The situation with my blog is quite iffy, I have been blogging for a while and I know numbers aren't everything but it seems to show that people don't read it as much as I kind of lose purpose for blogging. I want to know if you guys do read and care about the content. But I have made major improvements like updating the layout, taking part in blogger chats, talking to other bloggers.
8. Completed/Failed: To an extent, I feel more mature and responsible.
9. Completed: Travelling - I can definitely check this off my list! I travelled to not one but two places last year and both experiences were amazing and was needed after the crappy year it ended up being.
10. Completed: I moved back to halls at university in West London and I love it. The freedom and being on my own from my parents is everything I wanted and makes me appreciate home more because I miss it in a different way. Living on my own also gives me the chance to show how responsible I am.

My birthday was last week and I turned 22, wooo! And I made
it without making a Taylor Swift reference. I was very spoilt by everyone, so I
wanted to show you some of the things I got which I'm very excited about. I
love all my gifts, I'm a lucky girl. It always leaves my family and friends
wondering what to get me when Christmas and my birthday is a month apart. I'll
be writing a separate post on what I got up to on my birthday.
BRIDGET JONES BOX SET & DIAMONTE RING
Being back at university with my mate's means nights in and
watching girly films. One of my all-time favourite chick flicks is Bridget
Jones, I'm so glad I have this on DVD because it's not on Netflix (how
annoying) but it came with a digital download so I can watch anywhere anytime.
I also got this silver diamonte ring because I recently lost one of my other
favourite rings so I got this to replace it and I love it. Although sadly,
because of the make of the ring, three diamantes have already fallen out so I'm
thinking of getting a chain and wearing it around my neck or keeping it as a
trinket instead.
YANKEE CANDLE - LAKE SUNSET
Smells amazing and fills the whole room of this fruity
floral scent. Really reminds me of a sunset and I have no idea how, but you
really can get a sunset in a jar! I love candles they make a room instantly
more cosy and I use them up so much even though at university you're not
actually allowed to have them as a fire safety rule! #rebel
35K MORPHE PALETTE & MORPHE Y15 BRUSH
Getting this was a complete surprise as I didn't even hint
on wanting this, but my great friends that they are could probably see that I
didn't have a proper eyeshadow palette that had the necessary colours I needed,
I have way too many shimmers and colours that can only be used for dress up! A
good makeup palette is never going to go unappreciated by me! They also gave me
this unbelievably soft Morphe Y15 brush, my sister was very confused why I have
so many brushes already but I don't care you can never have too many brushes!
PENHALOGON'S TRAVEL ATOMISER
This was something I wanted recently as I broke one of my
perfume bottles and so wanted something I could use to travel around with and
use with any perfume. My sister and her husband got me this Penhaligon's travel
perfume atomizer and it is honestly one of the best things I own, it's so good
as you can pump any fragrance into it, even mix it up by using two or three!
Came in a lovely box and was wrapped in their signature perfumed wrapping paper
which smelt amazing. Definitely recommend purchasing one of these, you can find
cheaper versions on Amazon. It's great to just have to throw in your bag and
have on the go.
SCRABBLE FRAME
My brother and his wife got me this personalized scrabble
frame which is one of the coolest things ever, I love personalized gifts and
they are the best at giving them. In the past I have gotten key rings and mugs
with my name on it - ace! It features me and their two adorable children and
now has a permanent place in my heart and on my dresser.
MOOR CHOCOLATE FROM DEVON
I met up with my best friend at Heathrow airport just before
she was to depart for her flight, she had a 4-5 hour wait and Heathrow is only
a short bus ride away for me and she gave me a lovely card and some delicious
locally made chocolate. She knows just how to get me with my sweet tooth, it's
a great snack when studying.
JEWELLERY ORGANISER & HEATHER NEEDHAM SILVER EARRINGS
My best friend from my former work place bought me a set of
lovely earrings which has a Nordic/Greek-esque feel to it which I love and she
also got me a jewellery organizer to put on top of my dresser as I have quite a
bit of jewellery and having this organizer will remind me to wear it. She also
remembered to get it in sterling silver as I have a weird reaction to other
metals - what a great friend!
Along with all these goodies, I got some Gujarati snacks and
some moolah - which are always a great pressie!
Another year older, and (hopefully) another year
wiser!
Until next time...
