Well I can't believe that 2013 has passed, I am writing this on the new years eve and I can't wait to make cheeseburger cupcakes and dress up as a 1920s flapper actress later on today/tomorrow! But before then here is my 2013 roundup, photographs, blog resolutions and my goals for 2014.
My highlights of 2013:
- Graduating with a First Class BSc Honours Degree in Psychology
- Turning the big 21
- Holidaying in Scandinavia and Russia
- My first blogging event (T.G.I Fridays)
- Features on Very and London Beauty Hub
- Blog design changes, winning lots of competitions, seeing my first musical in years (Wicked)
- Having 9 inches of my hair cut off for the charity The Little Princess Trust (they make real hair wigs for children with cancer)
- Having 9 inches of my hair cut off for the charity The Little Princess Trust (they make real hair wigs for children with cancer)
- Working with amazing brands, people and getting fantastic new followers
- Blog/social media milestones = over 900 GFC followers, over 700 Bloglovin followers and over 200 followers on Instagram and Twitter!
Well, it has been a mixed year with a lot of highlights but some disappointing and sad times. While looking for the photographs for this post I am so grateful for having a blog that I can look back through to see what I did and how I have grown. I love sharing important (and crazy, unimportant) moments of my life with my amazing followers and readers - thank you so much!! When I started this blog I never thought I would have 100 followers, never mind over 900! Thank you!
I have quite a lot of ideas for new exciting posts for 2014 including: skincare ingredients 101, 2013 favourites, blog tools/basics, freebies, reviews, share the love posts and of course giveaways. I want to get in the habit of a blog schedule, over the festive period it has been really useful - write a comment below to tell me what blog posts you would like to see in 2014.
My goals for 2014 are: be more confident and get out of my comfort zone, spend more time with friends, drink more water, apply for a Masters degree (late 2014) and get a job!
I hope everyone had an amazing christmas, new year and 2013 - happy new year!! x
Happy New Year! x

Wow this has truly been a momentous year for you! I am so proud of how your blog has just been growing and growing because I still remember ofbeautyandnothingness being my first favorite blog when I had just started blogging in December of 2012. Your blog looks beautiful every time you change it up, and I can't wait for what's in store this year. Happy New Year!
