Hello my lovelies! It's been a hot minute since I last blogged, but I figured that today was a good reason to blog again.

2015. Wow. 5 years ago I graduated. It is ridiculous to think about. But 2014 was so good to me. I had some ups and downs with not finding a job within good time, finishing school and finishing my practicum literally the day before my graduation date. If you don't already know, I graduated from college with my Early Childhood Education certificate this year.

2014 was a struggle, I will admit. I spent 4 months job hunting in a new city. 2014 also gave me milestones. It was the first time I lived with my boyfriend, Mike, wit two other roommates at the time. It was also the year of my first preschool job, and the year Mike and I got our own apartment. We also took in my old cats that were at my parents house.

Although 2014 gave me amazing things, and a few bumps, I will say goodbye to 2014 with a smile. 2014 was also the year Mike and I hit our 1 year. 2015 is going to be our 2 years together, and I am so excited for that.

I'm not a huge fan of resolutions because I never follow through with them. I make goals when I want to make them, and follow through when I can. I think it's important to always set goals, and not just at the start of the new year.

This blog post isn't going to be long, but just for me to say thank you to 2014. Thank you for giving me challenges this year, and I hope 2015 continues to give me more challenges.

I hope you all had a great new years eve! Spend the day with loved ones <3

Toodle-doo!

Or something like that. I was watching Becca Rose's video on her bucket list, and it got me thinking about the things I wanted to do too, so I thought I'd be a little rebel and blog again!

1. Blog more
    → I want to blog more often, such as today where I blogged yesterday and today. Regardless of where I am or what I'm doing, I want to try to blog at least three to four times a week, if possible. The posts may not be all beauty, maybe some more personal things and what not, but I'm going to try my hardest!
2. Stay Happy!
    → This one is a big one for me. 2013 was a great year for me. I met my wonderful, adorable boyfriend and my best friend and I became even more closer than I could even think about. I stayed pretty happy throughout that year, and I want to continue with it. Being happy is one of the most important things to me, and even people that I've meet a few times say that they remember me being so cheerful. 
3. Eat CORRECTLY
    → This is on almost everyone's new years resolutions, but I do eat pretty well, it's just the way I eat. I just need to slow down while eating and add a few more veggie alternatives to my grocery lists and then I'll feel a little bit better. I'm not the type of girl to just drop all meats and really bad fats; heck no! I love food too much, however, I don't eat red meat too often, so I don't feel so bad about eating it when I do. My family always eats lots of healthy grains and veggies, but as Italians, we do like our pasta - whoops! 
4. Get a job after school
    → I'm currently in school for Early Childhood Education, and I start my practicum in one month exactly to the day, and I want to have a job (which is pretty much guaranteed with my current childcare job) and I hope that I do really well with it and that nothing goes too wrong.
5. Anxiety
    → If you know me and you're reading this, you will know I have pretty bad anxiety. Last year, it got to the point a few times where I would be out with my girl-friends and suddenly I'd have a panic attack for no reason. I just would feel crammed where I was and I didn't want to talk to anyone and I just wanted to go home. I have bad travel anxiety for timing and what not, so I just want to work on that and staying more positive when I feel like my anxiety may kick in.
6. Go travel!
    → I have some friends that live in Calgary, so this summer I want to go to see them so badly. One of my best childhood friends lives there and I miss her dearly, I haven't seen her in two years and her and her family mean so much to me. I wish I had more money to travel even further, but I don't, not yet at least. I want for Christmas next year, to be able to get myself a trip to the UK or anything like that. 
7. Love myself
    → I'm so not good at this last bit. I used to beat myself up on a regular basis for how I looked and my shape, but I've realized that there's nothing I can do about how my body is shaped; so what I have big hips! Screw you media! I'm going to have big hips and flaunt them in your faces! Having my best friend around and my boyfriend has definitely helped me to love myself a little bit more, knowing that I have people who care about me around.
8. YOUTUBE!
    → I want to make more videos!! I want to get a new light, or just a good spot for filming and I want just a little more confidence when filming. I hope that it'll work out, but that's one of my goals for this year. I love it when I do film, so I'll get there ;)
9. Move out!
    → Last year I moved back in with my family when I started school, but the deal was for me to move out in 2014 the summer of, so I plan to do so. And an IKEA trip is a MUST! I am so excited for that, to pick out things for organizing a new place and just having everything how I want them. I do want to move in with a special someone, but it all depends what happens with job opportunities after he's done school this year as well.
10. Finally- Learn something new every day
     → Whether it be a fact, or like how I learnt how to use my loom, or learn how to film differently or just anything, I want to learn something new daily and write it in a journal.
