My 2018 Goals

Hello, I'm back after quite a long break which I can't apologise enough for! It's been a stressful few months with my mocks but now that they're out of the way (for now) I'm going to try and keep on top of the blogging game, although I'm not promising anything. Today, I thought I'd share with you some of my 2018 goals (how is it 2018 can I ask?) and hopefully most of these I'll be able to complete!

2018 is going to be a big year for me, I'm doing my GCSE's, turning 16, leaving High School, having my Prom and starting College! As much as I am nervous, I can't wait for a fresh start and concentrate on the subjects I'm passionate about. So anyways, here's a look into some of my goals for the year!

Pass my GCSE's

Eat more healthily and drink more water

Work hard both in and out of school

Have an amazing Prom

Have the BEST summer

Concentrate more on my blog, once school finishes

Push myself out of my comfort zone

Experiment more with my personal style

 

So those are a few of my 2018 goals, hopefully I can complete them and look back at the end of 2018 and be happy with how my year went! 

 

 

My Favourite Instagrams

I've been seeing a lot of these posts recently, and it inspired me to do my own take on it. I love Instagram and it's defintley one of my favourite social medias. Even though I try my best at keeping a theme somehow or other it just never seems to look as good as other instagrammers.

Today I thought I'd share with you some of my favourite Instagram accounts with swoon worthy feeds to get the inspo flowing a little bit if you're wanting to start a theme on your own insta!!

@LifeAsTillyRose
Oh my goodness, Tilly's theme is my actual goals!! It looks so effortless and yet so put together! The quality of Tilly's photos are amazing and every one of them flows together amazingly!! As Tilly is a blogger she shares her post announcements through her photos and every single time they always make me want to read the actual post because seeing that one lil' hint of what the post is about makes me so excited to read on!!

@naomivictorias
Next up is Naomi, her feed is gorgeous and the way she incorporates different colours into it makes me so jealous of her photography skills!! Also Naomi's flat lays are to die for! They always look like they've been unintentionally done but still look so put together!! Serious goals!!

@franalibi
Where to start with Fran's feed? It's absolutely gorgeous!! Fran's photography skills are amazing and I'm seriously digging her current feed!! I'm hoping one day to have a feed just as nice as Fran's but it's going to take a lot of living up to as she is literally the queen of Insta!!

@utterlylara
Moving onto Lara's feed, I literally don't have any words apart from: gorgeous and complete and utter goals!! Lara's feed has quite a minimalistic vibe to it and can I just say her room is goals!! (Am I annoying you yet with the amount of times I'm saying 'goals'?) Lara defintley deserves all the followers she has and again I hope one day to have a feed like hers!!

@uhmchels
My final fave Instagram feed is Chelsea's, her feed is full of gorgeous outfit pics that give me serious fashion inspo!! I'm obsessed with how minimisltic her feed is and how effortless it all looks. All the goals in my opinion!!

And there you have it, my top 5 favourite Instagram feeds, quick lil' apology for the amount of times I said goals or gorgeous I just can't help it and there's literally no other way to describe these gorgeous feeds!! I hope I gave you some new insta's to follow and leave your Instagram down below and I'll be sure to follow!!

Time To Make Some Changes

I have an update type of post for you guys today as I recently read Ella's from lifeasellarose titled 'Just Me'. It was all about how she wants to change up her blog content and it really got me thinking. Ever since I started my blog back in 2015, I've always done beauty related posts. In all honesty beauty isn't my favourite thing to talk about, don't get me wrong I love writing beauty related posts but sometimes I'd much rather write something else.

Also one of the posts that I published this year on my blog has become an annoyance to me in a way that I can't sort it out. I'm not going to lie to you I rushed my Room Tour post because I was so excited to share it with you but I'm just really not happy with it. So with that said I have decided to delete the post and hopefully I'll have it back out again some time in the near future with better photos.

So I've decided that I'm going to change up my blog content and start producing posts that I personally prefer to write, there will defintley be lots of posts to do with interior and room décor because those are the subjects I love as well as fashion.

One change that you have may have already noticed is my new blog header, I've decided to remove 'beauty' from my tagline and instead add in interiors so new readers know what type of posts I produce.

Here's a few of the other things that I'm going to be changing up in regards to my blog and Instagram:

• I've already done this but I recently revamped my insta with a new username (asprinkleofoliviaa) and changed up my feed to be more personal and blog related
• Obviously the main part that I'm changing is my content, I want my blog to be something that I'm proud of and I'm very excited to share with you my revamped posts coming very soon
• Eventually I will buy a layout specially made for my blog, but at the moment I'm happy with mine, I'm planning on doing the 'big blog makeover' during the Summer so look out for that!!

I hope you will all stick with me through this change and that you still all enjoy the posts that I write. Also I won't be getting rid of beauty completely in my blog there just won't be as many posts, and the posts that I do start to produce will be so much better and ones that I, myself will be proud of.
