New Years Resolutions - February Update

where has february gone?! i can't believe it's march tomorrow, this month seems to have gone by in a flash - i feel like i've been really busy, but not done much all at the same time, it's been a weird one. i feel like i've barely been at uni or work this month too and i'm really hoping it doesn't put me behind so i'll give you a quick little update of what i've been up to! it was mums birthday the first weekend, then there was a few hospital visits, a reading week from uni, another weekend home for something i can't even remember, and then i came home on Friday to see One Direction at the weekend, but have ended up with food poisoning and missed another week of uni - i've not been in leicester for more than 6 days at a time this month, whoops. i think i'll have to take this weekend sick off work because i feel so lousy, and then next week i have to venture to the Florence & Fred head offices with uni to present a project to them so it's all very busy and nerve-wracking before coming back home for Mothers Day and then a week after that i'm done for Easter, which terrifies me. so now i shall stop rambling and catch you up on how i've been doing with my new years resolutions this month. ...


1. Try some Soap & Glory products
i haven't bought anything this month out of poorness/business/forgetfulness. someone suggested to keep an eye out on ebay for bits and pieces and i've seen some bargains so i'll see if i can pick anything up on there. 

2. Try some Lush products
again, nothing new. sorry! 

3. Do 20 sit ups every morning and every night
i know i promised last month, but it just hasn't happened. oh god, i'm awful. this month, okay? as soon as i'm better (she says)... 

4. ALWAYS walk to work. unless it's raining.
i have done this, although i feel like i've barely been there... but i will keep this up :)

5. Eat more healthily
i've eaten a lot of salad this month, and fallen in love with it - i could eat it with absolutely everything and i can't wait to get my appetite back and eat properly again! 

6. Try and save £1000 in my savings for car/internship
i got so close this month, but then i paid my car insurance. £946.06. so close, yet so far. :(

7. Don't attempt a spending ban
i haven't, but i'm still feeling very poor! oh so sad. 

8. Book a holiday
not yet, but this is more of an aim by summer! 

9. Purchase a brush cleaner for  make-up brushes
i've still not done this, or even just gone with the shampoo method, so i think i really need to start looking into affordable products or home-made methods. 

10. Jar project
i don't think i've put quite so many bits in here this month, but i'm still doing it. i've put a couple of other bits in the jar this month aswell, like the cinema ticket from mine & James' first valentines day together and soppy little things like that. 

11. Watch as many films as possible off my list of 'Films I Should Have Seen But Haven't'
i've been slacking so badly this month with this, and i need to up my game! there's a few on the list that James said i wasn't allowed to watch without him, so i bought him those for valentines day so at least i have a few on dvd now instead of having to scour for decent online links.
