2016 was a big year for me! I achieved so much and had a blast doing it! Earlier in the week I posted my 2017 New Years Resolutions as apart of my 'Motivational Monday' post, so I thought I'd do a quick re-cap on last years resolutions and if I managed to achieve any of them...
1. Get Fit
Well I did join a gym, but to answer the question honestly, I probably didn't but I'm not giving up!
2. Move Out
I did go flat hunting and started looking into moving out but, sadly the timing wasn't right. Hopefully this year will be the year!
3. Get A New Camera
Yes! Yes! Yes! I didn't just get 1 new camera, I got 2! I got a DSLR to film my main channel videos (Nikon D5200) and I also got a new vlogging camera from my parents for my birthday, it's a neat little Sony!
4. Film A Music Video
Still in the works...
5. Read More
I hate to say but who has the time to read?
6. Take Off My Make-Up Before Bed
I did really well at the start of last year to do this but, coming to the end when my schedule go busier and busier, 2 minutes in the evening to take my make up off just got too much.
7. Write More
Now going by the amount that I've posted/haven't posted this year, you guys might be thinking the answer to this question is no but, yes I have. I've started writing a book all about my story and my experiences with Mental Health and growing up in today's society where there is so much pressure on young people to grow up quickly, look a certain way and to have your whole life planned out by 14, Well that just doesn't happen, so I wrote a book about it. Who knows as to whether one day it will get published but, I hope it does!
8. Be The Best That I Can Be
2016 was a great year! I did loads of things that would usually scare me, like going to London by myself, going to a festival and camping! I did it! I said yes and I managed to get somewhat of a grip over my anxieties.
Here's a quick sum up of 2016 and my #bestnine2016 from Instagram
@iamthlostwolf
January/ February
I started the year, with a Foxes inspired look, I had freshly cut bangs, a new look for my blog and partied with my fellow bloggers at a few local events. I had one of my annual conference trips to London, with Superdrug and went and got myself a promotion. My career was finally taking shape, I had a fresh outlook and I was totally a together woman!
March/April
TEGAN AND SARA LOVE YOU TO DEATH ALBUM WAS RELEASED!! My take off the tape video and blog post was released and I was completely overwhelmed with the flooded positive comments I received. I think that will definitely go up there with my top 5 favourite blog posts. I grew out my bangs and partnered up with Square hair salon in Falmouth for their Spring/Summer showcase, I had fabulous rose gold locks!
May/June
In May I partnered with Clunk magazine to write a fashion post for them, this involved taking part in photoshoot with an old friend from school, which I really enjoyed! Shortly, after however I had a slight mid-life crisis and thought dying my hair back to brown and getting an undercut was a great idea.. I cried for 4 weeks straight and barley left the house until I grew it long enough to cut back into my iconic Frankie Bridge pixie cut which I had when I was 15. June was a massive month! The Orlando shooting hit me hard and my heart broke just thinking about the tragedy that had happened. I shortly traveled to London all by myself and stayed in Camden for 2 nights, to go and see my icons, Tegan and Sara. It was my first trip away by myself, the whole experience was so fulfilling and something I will always treasure.
July/August
Was the month that I went back to my pixie cut roots. The end of the month was extremely stressful in my work life but, on the positive side my love life blossomed and July 15th was the day that Adam and I finally got together. I ventured out to my first festival of the season, MTV Crashes Plymouth. Followed by Boardmastes in mid-August. And to top of the best summer ever we had Pride 2016! I went to Pride the previous year but kinda sat back from the side lines, this year I was front and center dancing in the parade and sharing the love with my multicolored hair!
September/October
Early September I attended yet another conference with Superdrug, I had an absolute blast and even met Michelle Keegan! Little did I know that this conference would be last and my Superdrug career would come to an end. On the way home I had a phone call from Primark asking if I was still interested in the job, I would have been a fool to turn it down! October was filled with exciting projects, I had my photoshoot with Katherine and dazzled at Truro Fashion Week! At the end of October I transformed into Black Swan for one night only, I still can't believe how well I managed to do my make-up.. well done me! 
November/December
November was a hectic month! The first weekend Nicole and I went to go and see Tom Odell at Plymouth Pavillions which was amazing! I even started my Christmas shopping while I was there.. another well done me moment. Primark Truro opened it's doors and was heaving with excited customers! I turned into Wonder Women, at a time were I definitely was not Wonder Woman. I left my teens and turned 20! Had a lovely weekend visiting St Ives and an amazing birthday bash with my bestie Claire! I celebrated Christmas jumper day at work by turning up as Elsa, I made so many kinds dreams come true that day! And I had a fabulous Christmas with loved ones! 
That was my 2016 round up! Let me know in the comments what you're stand out 2016 moments were as I'd love to hear them! Much love x
