My new year's resolutions

As is customary for every blogger to share with the world at the start of a new year, I have put together a list of all the things I want to change in 2016! Some will be life related, other school, I'll figure it out as I go along...

1. Start working out daily.
I don't do exercise, like, at all. Which I know is awful and it will probably kill me or something, but I'm just so darn lazy! The thought of getting of my butt and actually do something that requires moving, makes me exhausted. So, for the past few years, I simply refused. But that stops now. This year I'm going to put in the effort to get a healthier way of living. I've decided that since I hate cardio with a burning passion, I'm not going to put myself through that. Instead, I've found a couple of fun dance-y type workout videos on youtube that I'm going to try to follow along. For the people who want to workout with me, I've listed a few of the videos below. 

2. Figure out the school situation.
The past couple of months have not been the easiest in school. A lot of things have gone wrong with the project I'm working on and to be honest, I'm freaking out about it. It feels like it's all slipping through my fingers and I can't stand that feeling. The solution? Getting my sh*t together!

3. Drink more water.
I drink two half liters of tea every day, but that's not nearly enough to survive on. So, I'm going to need to up my water intake every day. Drinking a lot of water is beneficial for so many things, like clearing up your skin, strengthening your hair, losing weight...


4. Spend more time with friends.

I'm a recluse, a hermit who likes to spend her days cooped up in her room with her laptop and her books. But this is not very normal behaviour for a nineteen year old. I like to jokingly say I'm nineteen going on ninety, but I actually resemble an old lady more than I'd like to admit. 2016 seems like a good year to change things up a bit.


5. Experiment with makeup more.
I love makeup more than anything in the world. So much even, that I'm going to get my degree for Allround Makeup Artist after I get my degree in Creative Business. But lately, I've been kind of slacking in the makeup department. To be honest, I've been kind of stuck in a rut and it's time to get out of that. For christmas I received quite a bit of new products, so I'm all set to get going with the new trends! 


6. Finish one of my books.
I'm currently writing about eleven or twelve stories. All of them are over 50 000 words, but none of them are actually finished. Ridiculous, right! This needs to change. I've already picked the story I'm going to be working on this year, so fingers crossed!


7. Read more.
I think this one is on a lot of people's resolutions lists. School has taken up so much of my time lately that I've barely had time to read a book or two... Such a shame...


8. Watch more movies.
I have a notebook filled with a long list of movies that I haven't watched yet, but really want to. So far, there are about 200 movies on there and it's time to start making my way through it!


9. Blog every week (maybe even twice a week).
With school and other stuff going on, I've kind of abandoned my blog for a few weeks. Writing a blogpost migrated to the bottom of my to do list and this coming year I'm placing it in the top three. 

10. Live more for me and less for others. 

To go along with my love for makeup, I have a serious obsession with fashion. Kooky, quirky and slightly weird pieces are my favorites as well as a healthy dose of leopard print and short skirts. Not everybody might like my style, but I honestly adore wearing exciting outfits. It makes my day a lot better knowing I'm wearing something extravagant. Some of my fashion icons are: Fran Fine (from 'The Nanny), Clemence Poesy, Audrey Tautou and Emma Watson. All of them are different, but they have one thing in common: femininity! I get scared of what other people will think of me when I wear that certain skirt or that top and it's geting ridiculous. 2016 is the year I'll be wearing what I want and not what other people expect me to wear. 

 

What are your New Year's Resolutions? Planning on keeping up them? I probably won't, but it's nice to think I tried...
