A 2016 Reflection - What Did I Achieve?

Last year I wrote a post on whether I achieved my 2015 goals and I thought I'd do the very same this year. Back in January 2016, I made a list of goals to achieve within the year so I'm writing this post now to see whether or not these goals were met.

In 2016 I hoped to...

♥  Travel more and go to at least one place that I haven't been before - Success! In 2016 we went to London, Barcelona (which was a new city for me), Florida and Paris. 

 


♥  Eat healthier - I'm just gonna be honest here and say this was a huge fail! Like why did I even think I could achieve this?! I'm a pizza gal at heart what can I say! There was also peppers in this rice - does that count as healthy eating?!


♥  Exercise more - nope! FAIL!

♥  Move out - success! Ok so I did cheat with this goal as when I wrote the post last January we had already bought our house :P but in saying that, things could have fallen through! This was by far the best thing about 2016 and I'm so looking forward to seeing what home DIY and decor projects 2017 has for us.



♥  Get a driving licence and start driving - success-ish! I got my provisional licence and did one driving lesson :P does that count?!

♥  Reach 1000 YouTube subscribers - success! We're now on 1200 and excited to seeing how far we can go in 2017.


♥  Start making more videos on my own YouTube channel - FAIL!!!! Didn't even consider this one :P

♥  Reach 5000 Facebook likes - NOPE! Far from it at 1600! Facebook has been a BITCH for business pages this year so how many people see your post has significantly reduced and they just want you to start paying to advertise! I don't tend to post on Facebook much so I've decided to mainly focus on my Instagram and Snapchat (rfairydustblog).

♥  Be more consistent with blog posts - Ya not so much! To be fair it has been a very busy year for us especially at the beginning of the year with all the house stuff! This year I'll be better (ya I know I say this every year :P)

I'll be doing another blog post soon on my 2017 resolutions as it's always fun to come back to at the end of the year and see what I have accomplished.

Blogmas 2016 Day 9: First Christmas in my Own Home


If you've been watching our vlogs, you'll know that I've been getting excited for Christmas for a good while now and there's a few reasons why. Firstly, I love Christmas and think it's such a lovely time of year. Secondly, this will be my first Christmas not working in retail in 5 years and lastly, and most importantly, this is our first Christmas in our very own home! I am so excited to be able to decorate our house the way we want to, watch endless Christmas movies and wake up on Christmas morning in our very own home.


This Christmas is going to be a very special and memorable one for the both of us and I'm so looking forward to it. The build up to this Christmas is going to be amazing and I already can't wait for Christmas morning! I feel like a child all over again! I'll have some posts up soon showing our Christmas trees and festive home decor! In the mean time head over to my instagram (rainbowsandfairydustblog) for some sneak peek pics!

Here's Vlogmas Day 9:
