It is a brand new year and I am ready too kick start the year with a brand new blog and a fresh start. 2013 had its ups and downs and too be honest with you I'm glad its over. So I welcome 2014 with big open arms and want to bring on new challenges and just say yes to things I would of shrugged offed and would not of considered. Just before we said goodbye to 2013 I visited Egypt for Christmas and New Year and managed to survive and conquer the Red Sea. Ok I didn't take on some Shark but I managed to actually sit on the bottom of the sea while scuba diving with the family. I went down about 15 metres in the end and overcome the anxiety and fear of being eaten by a sea urchin. I want to make the most of 2014 because I feel like 2013 lacked excitement and fun so bring on mountain climbing and sword fighting...only joking, I'm not ready for that yet.
The majority of people make new years resolutions to try and make the most of the year and achieve goals that they may not of been able too do before. However probably 90% of people want to loose weight because they secretly indulged in too many Quality Streets and one more serving of turkey. Even though I did take advantage of the all inclusive hotel this year I want to change it up a bit and not go for the norm.
- Organise myself.
Ok so you are currently encountering the most unorganised person on earth. Half the time I don't know where I am, what I'm doing or where anything is. My room is a mess most of the time and looks like a bomb has hit it. I am currently avoiding a scary pile of paper and junk that has been growing over the year on my desk that is starting to scare me. Maybe its time to meet. I want to keep on track of things and meet deadlines. Also it would be nice to see the colour of my desk more often. I have thought about keeping a diary so I can keep track of events and arrange and plan more activities. It would be nice to actually know what I am doing instead of winging it and forgetting about plans you had made earlier in the week.
- Blog at least everyday.
Well if you ever came across my car crash of a first blog then you may know what I mean by this one. I have a very dusty, old blog that has been lost on the internet for a while. I started way back in March and it was going strong until about June where it came to a sudden stop. I don't know why but I think that links into Miss Unorganised. I think I couldn't find the time or tbf wasn't bothered. It was called 'Lucylou' and it eventually ranked in about 1000 views a week. I think giving in so easily is a big regret because too me those 1000 people made my day when I looked at the stats. However I really want to launch English Rose and hopefully open doors that I couldn't before because this is something I enjoy and if I can do as a career. Also it is an excuse to splash out on a few more beauty products than usual. I want to blog at least everyday because I think a reader will know me a bit better and know when to expect new posts. It also means every day there will be a fresh new post for you to sit down with a cuppa and have a good old nosing.
- Eat better.
Alright I never eat healthy and have never seen 5 a day. My family usually eat their 5 a day and eat all their vegetables but mine are always left lonely on the plate. I just don't like them and don't want to be eating them. I have quite irregular skin so one minute it is spot free and the next its a blemish nightmare. So I believe if I improve my diet then I will feel more vitalised, refreshed and feel better. Hopefully my skin will be better and my hair will be shinier. *fingers crossed*
- Get fitter.
Real random one. I have this ambition to bike from my house to the city centre. It is about 3 miles but I really want to achieve it. I would like to join the gym and maybe go swimming every so often because if I am honest I am so lazy. I never really move from my bedroom but starring at the same 4 walls all the time gets so boring so I need to get out more. Preferably in the summer when its not raining.
Ok so there are my 4 limp resolutions that probably be forgotten by the end of the night because *slaps wrist* I have already ate 2 McDonalds, slept in till 12pm 2 days in a row and started this blog on the 4th. Ok so that already makes me lazy, unorganised and a fatty. Woop woop, what a great start. Hopefully it will get better...hopefully.
My name is Lucy Waterfield by the way, sorry for the long awkward introduction but I welcome you to my little corner of the web. English Rose is something I want to expand into my own little world that I want to share with everyone and you are welcome to come along on my little journey this year.
Looking back on the year 2013 seems quite brief. Nothing really spectacular happened that will leave a landmark in my life but I didn't exactly hate it. This year I turned 14 which in my eyes is a great age because I feel much more grown up and independent but secretly still scared of the dark (yes scared of the dark). I visited Egypt for Christmas and New year and Bulgaria for the first time. I met some amazing people that I believe will be my friends for ever and braved my anxiety and performed in the school production of Les Miserables which was so much fun. I managed to scuba dive in the red sea and quad bike through the middle of the dessert and survive.
For my family, 2014 is a bridge stone for them. This year my mum is going to turn the big 5 0, my sister, Amber, is going to turn 18 and my nanny is turning 70. I am the youngest in my family so it'll be a while till I have a special birthday but I wish them all a happy birthday. I still have no idea what to get my sister for her birthday. Help! I've got till the end of the month to get something.
That brings us too an end of 2013. This year I hope to achieve goals and get to do more things I only wish I could do. Bring on the fun, excitement and challenges.
Best Wishes and a Happy New Year.
Lucy xx
