Oh hey, September. Can we just
take a moment to acknowledge the fact that it’s already September? Where has
the time gone? I honestly feel like this year has completely flown by and it’s
kind of scary. Can we also just acknowledge that I’m actually writing a blog
post, for those of you that read my little blog and follow me on social media
then 1) Thank you and 2) You’d know that I have been having some blogging
struggles when it comes down to producing content and just genuinely trying to
find the time.
Even though the year has gone by
within a blink, I can honestly say it’s been one of the best years so far. I
turned 21, I got engaged and in this particular month I’m starting a new chapter. I’ve been a waitress/door
host at a restaurant for 2 years and although I really liked it to start off
with, I ended up hating it in the long run – don’t get me wrong because the
people I worked with are great and I know I’ve made some friends for life
however the job itself was completely draining and I just got so fed up of
working evenings that I thought it was time for a change altogether. Tomorrow
is the start of my new job as a trainee optical assistant and I couldn’t be happier
about it, I have no idea what to expect but at this moment in time I’m feeling
nothing but positive about it. One of my main goals throughout September is to
work as hard as I can and to learn as much as possible.
I know we are only on the 3rd
day of this month however I’m feeling super inspired and motivated that I have
come up with some personal and blog goals which I would love to achieve in
September and hopefully throughout the rest of the year:
Spend more time with my Fiancé: Having
this new job means I don’t have to work evening shifts anymore which also means
I can spend some much needed time with my fiancé. He works days and I usually
worked evenings which meant that we only saw each other properly at night
before bed. I’m really looking forward to finishing work at 6pm and spending
the evening at the cinema or just chilling at home watching a Netflix series
together.
Buy a Domain: This is well
and truly overdue. I have been blogging for over 3 years and I still haven’t
managed to buy my own domain name. Not sure why or what’s stopping me however
it will happen. I guess I’m just scared in case my blog doesn’t work properly
afterwards but I don’t know. If anyone has any tips on domains then please
comment below, I have no clue what I’m doing when it comes to that stuff!
De-clutter my makeup: As
a lover of makeup and being a beauty blogger, I love to collect makeup. On the
other hand I’m also such a hoarder which means I will keep everything and
anything even if it’s probably out of date (so gross) and even if its
stuff that I just haven’t touched and I know I won’t use. I like to keep
everything. It’s a massive problem because now my collection has become too
overgrown for my storage drawers and it looks like a complete mess.
Stop buying takeaways: Yes
Charlotte, this includes those late night trips to McDonalds. I need to stop
wasting my money on takeaways especially when I could be saving for more
important things. It got to the point where I ate takeaways once or sometimes
twice a week which is never good for you, I want to cut it down completely to
around twice a month because you know, I
can’t give up on Domino’s completely.
Get myself a new camera: I
have a perfectly fine working Nikon camera, however I’ve had my eye on either
an Olympus Pen or a Canon for a while now as the quality is a lot better and I
love how you can change the lenses and it has WIFI. I know that it’ll be an
investment but it has been something I have wanted for a while now and I know I’ll
use it all the time therefore it’ll be worth it. Just need to get saving!
