2016 Goals

I'm terrible at sticking to New Year's Resolutions, so I gave up years ago. I'm not one for stupid fad diets or giving up chocolate, like seriously why would you even consider that? But I do believe that if you gave yourself something to work towards then you will be much more productive with your time and get a lot more shit done.

So here are my goals for 2016:

• Buy a home - I thought id get the biggy out the way. Yes this is an enormous goal and i'm hoping to do it within 6 months but it is doable - if I go balls to the walls with my saving! 
• Go live with Blossom & Bronze's new website. 
• Exercise more, yes a typical new year goal, but I've signed up to the Great North Run and I really need to train for it. 
• Read every night. No more watching youtube as I fall asleep but actually read a book, even if its only a couple of pages. 
• Eat a little cleaner. No stupid diets, or giving up take aways and sweets but just cutting down on all the snacking I do. I'm a serial snacker. 
• Save Save Save.
• Go part time at work so I can concentrate more on my own business. I am going to have to work my ass off for this one, I am not at this stage yet but I am hoping I will be in 6 months time, not to put extra pressure on myself and savings but hopefully it will all pay off! 
• Look after myself more and get a proper skin care routine. 
• Go to the dentist - Yes I say this every year but every year I chicken out but this is the year! 

I'd love to know what your goals are for the New Year and if you think you will stick to them?

Hello Lovely

I’m Clare,

I’m a ridiculously clumsy, over-excitable bundle of mess. Open minded, small breasted. I’m far too emotional, love all things pretty, a sucker for a good old floral pattern and a duck egg door. I’m a professional procrastinator. I have a love affair with food and Netflix. I have the most adorable little bunny in the world. And a very sexy boyfriend.

I’m the owner of Blossom & Bronze – the ultimate excuse to put my creativity to good use. One day (soon hopefully) I will run my little business full time, until then, I have a 9 to 5 office job to pay the bills, with Blossom & Bronze on a nighttime and weekends I’m kept me super busy.. And in the midst of it all I decided to start a blog. Mainly as a way to vent, my brain is full of nonsense that I thought it might be worth while trying to eject some of that into a blog. Keeping my very busy life, even busier.

Right now, apart from working I don’t do a great deal of anything else. Wow, I bet this blog is going to be full of adventures *yawn*. I have dreams of traveling the world and whilst my friends are off jet setting around the globe, I’m trying to save for our first home, failing miserably may I add. At times I feel like I have the worst luck in the world.  But aside from that, I seem to be on the way to ‘getting my shit together’ or at least that’s what it feels like, I mean on a night out I’m ready for bed by 1pm and that is pretty grown up isn’t it?

In reality I’m probably like every other 20 something year old, completely lost but with big ideas of where we want to be next, just not too sure how to get there. Not wanting to give up on our wild teen years but at the same time completely past that whole stage and would much rather binge on Netflix and takeaways.

Anyway welcome to my blog/ world. Hopefully it won’t bore you too much, and if it does here is a link to YouTube fails .They never fail to disappoint.
