Loving in October

October has been such a busy month, I haven't been able to read a lot of blogs or write or pretty much anything except studying. 

I hope that November will be able to be a better blogger and YouTuber! 

My October Goals:

1. Start making Christmas cards
I haven't started making the Christmas cards but I have bought some of the items that I need to make the cards!

2. Order more yarn
I haven't done this but I have been thinking about what to order, 

3. Sell all my read books
This didn't happen since I decided to do something else with these books! Something you'll be able to see on Monday!

4. Do my best on my midterm exams.
I did amazingly and I am so happy with it!


5. Work on my secret project
Yup, and it will be secret for some time now :) 


6. Start taking pictures for my shop
No, sadly I didn't start this! I need to start taking these pictures and make everything ready!


7. Post 2 recipes
I tried twice! But both times I wasn't satisfied with my pictures.

8. Write 2 posts about my 25 things before my 25th birthday
I wrote one post: 25 Things Before My 25th Birthday: 21. Have over 250 published post on my blog

9. Organize my make up table
Sadly this didn't happen, my make up area is still a big mess!

Loving in September

September has been such a strange month, in a great way, but super strange. Starting new university (for the uhh 4th time), going to France, not working as much and just the feeling of hope has really been strong in September. There have as well been some sad and incredibly stressful things been going on but I did not go into hiding mode but just kept my head high (ok, I did cry a lot) and kept on going! 

I am really loving writing these posts, I love to see how many of my goals I have accomplished, I love just having something I can look back on. Because that was the main reason I started blogging, to prove to myself I can actually do things. 

My September Goals:

1. Blog every day!
I did manage to post 14 posts this month! I knew I would have trouble with this one because of the trip to South of France I took, school and all sorts of other things. However, I am fine with that! I still want to break my record of 27 posts a month! 

2. Do one photo an hour day.
That did not happen, the days I wanted to do it were too stressful and the days that weren't stressful I spent at home with my nose in a book, not picture worthy. 

3. Post four outfit posts. 
I did one!

4. Finish the 100 things decluttering challenge.
Didn't happen, this challenge is much more difficult than I imagined! 

5. Record what I am eating for 25 days.
I did take pictures of what I ate for a week, I just need to find a platform I am comfortable with.

6. Plan a nanny evening. (planned it but didn't manage to go)

7. Lose 2 kg (4-5 pounds)
Almost, I lost about 1.4 kg this week :)

8. Gain control over the laundry mayhem.
For me this is the biggest victory in the world! I cannot believe this actually happened! I feel like I got my apartment back!

9. Bake a cake 
I made an amazing lime and coconut cheesecake.

10. Go for a trip
I went for a lovely family trip to South of France, I had amazing time.
