It’s been a long time since I allowed myself to make New Year Resolutions, partially because it seemed pointless, but mainly because I was afraid of failure.
This year I’m ready to re-embrace, failure or not. Goals are good.
1. Keep fighting and winning against the eating disorder.
2. Get back in to jogging/running, building strength up slowly.
3. Take better care of my skin, I’ll be 24 this year, it’s about bloody time I developed a proper skincare routine.
4. Stop procrastinating or talking myself out of things…what is the worst that could happen? (exception; when death or serious injury is a likely outcome!)
5. Throw myself in to work and take whatever opportunity comes my way.
6. Cook more. The freezer is great, but nothing beats a fresh, nourishing and home cooked meal.
7. Make more time for baking. Try new recipes.
8. And socialising.
9. Try new things, be it a craft, a food, a social event or even a style of clothing.
10. Get back to learning to drive.
Happy New Year lovely readers,
I hope you celebrated in style, aren’t too hungover and are ready to embrace 2011!
Once again, thank you to each and every one of you for your support and encouragement. I’m hoping to try some new things with the blog this year so watch this space.
What are your resolutions?

Staying healthy and fit is my main goal for this year! Wish you on the best in your resolutions!!!

It’s always good to have goals, even just as a reminder of what you wish to achieve in the year.
I tend to shy away from making my own resolutions, but must must look after my skin a lot more too. And I’m with you on trying the new recipes too xx
Good on you Laura for making so many resolutions. 2011 is going to be a fab year for you xx
I wish you more glories than you expect!

happy 2011 for you
Happy new year Laura!
I like your resolutions, but especially the one about being happy. I haven’t made too many resolutions: I just want to be a better blogger, and also take better care of myself.
xx
I hope you have an amazing 2011. In my opinion, it can’t get much worse than 2010.
A good and thoughtful list… I’ll be joining you on the skincare routine, hopefully.
I didn’t actually know you had an eating disorder… keep up the good fight and all the best with all of your resolutions!
Great resolutions! I decided not to make any, because I have a very eventful year ahead of me, so just sticking to aleady made plans will be enough for me!
wow they are fan resolutions! mine is to get fit and live alitte!

These are great resolutions! We actually share a couple, like starting to work out properly and cooking more, to take better care of ourselves. Additionally to that, I’m planning to do more DIYs, both fashion-related as well as home improvement stuff. And I’m actually looking forward to all of it!
Happy new year sweetie!
Happy new year lovely.
I hope you achieve every single thing you set your mind to.

Like you being healthy and staying fit is a top priority for me this year, as well as finally finding a job to pay my way through uni next year! Anything else will be a bonus for me. Good luck with everything, Laura, you’ll be fine π xxx
Happy New Year Laura!
Good way of thinking of it as goals. I hope you achieve your goals and that 2011 is all you want it to be.
I haven’t set any resolutions. I do have a goal but can’t share it at the moment.

Excellent resolutions! I wish you the best of luck. I completely agree–something about creating them is a little intimidating because of the fear of failure.
Happy New Year’s, I’m sure you’ll do great. Lovely blog!
xoxo, Maddie
I need to finish learning how to drive too – well just to get my license already lol. Hope you had a wonderful New Year!
Happy new year to you! Thats a great list to achieve in 2011. Im looking forward to the year ahead.

Great list of resolutions – I hope you achieve them all and much more!
All I really want to change this year is my weight (a loss of 5-10kgs would be fab)…. eat more healthy foods and tone up my body!
Come and enter my very first giveaway if you like…

In 2011 I just want to be happy too. I think its good that you made a list of goals. As I said in my last blog post I only achieved 2 out of 11 of my goals for 2010 which is not that great but the posibility of failure should not stop us from making more goals anyway.
Good luck with your resolutions, they seem very sensible and positive! I am keen to find a new job, so I need to stop procrastinating and start believing in myself etc too. xx
Those are great resolutions, go for them!!

CUTE pick with your cat : )
I think you have a great set of goals for 2011. I should look back at my 2010 goals to see how I did hahaha
Being healthy, happy, and adventurous are definitely things I want in 2011, too. It’s good that you have specific goals, you should set up a little timeline?
Like “practice driving 2x/month” and “take your test in June”. That would give you time to retake it (i had to lol) and still get your license before the year ends! Just an idea, do you like it?
Keep us posted, happy new year!! <3
Happy, Happy New Year, Laura!! π
i need to ..er, GAIN health
and be able to maintain. and work out in a healthy way
my major 2011 goal.. to go to Thailand in April.. buT i need to be stable enough to go still..
my wish for YOU in 2011 is to be happy and healthy.
I belive with my entire heart that this is achievable for you.. xox
happy new year!!!
very cute resolutions!!
Happy new year! I always say every year I will take my make up and cleanse tone moisturise everyday but I am always too lazy to stick to it! Make up wipes are a god send though haha.
Good luck with all your resolutions, i am sure you will acheieve all that you set your mind to in 2011 for sure!
Oh and Happy New Year too!
Cook more? Me too if my Boyf has anything to do with it π He keeps trying to get me to cook cook cook and I don’t!

I don’t have any new resolutions, I made mine before the new year, though I loved reading yours!
Happy New Year, wishing you the best lovely Laura!

thanks for your posts on my blog! π
Happy New Year!
Thank you so much for your comment sweetie π
Your support also means a lot to me ^-^ I truly wish you a happy and healthy 2011 and that all your goals come true***
Happy New Year! Your resolutions are wonderful – here’s to 2011 and achieving them all! x
happy new year! I hope that you succeed in all our resolutions darling x
Happy new year darling! Best of luck with your resolutions there are some great ones in there. I haven’t made any official resolutions yet but I know I want to chill out, take each day as it comes and not tie myself in knots over other peoples drama. I guess like you just be happy! Thats the main thing isn’t it xx
Great resolutions.
I also want to get back into running, and my other resolutions are to eat a more balanced diet, and save more money!
Happy New Year, sweetie!! Great resolutions, for the skin care I always recommend going organic. Mud creams and oils do wonders!!
For the new year, I wish for you much love, happiness, extraordinary health, strength and *you* time to focus on what you love.
Thank you also for being such a wonderful friend, I look forward to more of our blog-love this year π
That’s a very good resolution. Thanks for sharing and drop by me too when you have time.
Cheers.
Love all these goals! Especially the first one, that’s also my goal. Keep fighting girly, you’ve made incredible progress. And don’t ever forget you are beautiful π
These are wonderful resolutions, and I know you will be able to keep them all.
Mine? Better time management, and I want to get back into screenwriting because I love it. And really, just more of the same: I want to be happy, I want to help make other people happy, I don’t want to harm anyone.. yeah, that’s about it. Nothing too ambitious.
So glad we’re virtual friends: you are an amazing spirit, and an inspiration.
Big hug. xx
Those are some good goals π I should do the same π
Hope you had a nice New Years π
happy new year dear and wish u all the best!

You’ll probably hate me for this, but I changed my blog title back to a slightly different version of the one I had before, anyway, thank you so much for that lovely comment π And I’ll keep an eye out for it, I’ve got lots of new notecards and postcards to use, so that’ll keep me busy for a few days. xxx

What a wonderful list of New Year’s Resolutions! I adore the photo underneath it. I didn’t make any specific resolutions myself other than to do a little at a time of the things on my “to-do” list and try not to be overwhelmed. I hope your New Year is a very happy and healthy one.
