February Goals | 2018 | SubjectBeautyTest

Okay, don't shoot me I know the calendar in the photograph states that it's the 1st of February but me and you both know it is in fact not. I'm a day late but I still have 3 weeks and 5 days left to reach all the goals I'm setting myself this month! I like setting myself goals, it really motivates me, even if it's little things like not forgetting to call a sibling you don't speak to everyday.

I like to set myself little goals, not milestones. I think you have to be realistic with your goals too, I mean I wish I could blog all day every day but I have a job and I need to sleep!

1. Buy Something From The Fenty Beauty Range

I have heard soooo many great things about this range, I'm so upset I haven't got my hands on anything yet but I've been meaning to go to London for ages now so when I'm there next I'm for sure going into Harvey Nichols and purchasing a few things!

2. Read 5 Books

I haven't read a book in such a long time, I forgot what holding a book even feels like! I really do need finish off the book I started last year but I just want to get into bed and watch friends on Netflix whilst occasionally scrolling through my instagram feed until I fall asleep. I'm hoping I can get 5 books read by the end of the month so lets see how that one goes down. (That's not including the few chapters of the book I have left to read)

3. Go Out With Friends

I write this knowing on Saturday I'm going out for a few drinks with friends but the last time I went out with friends was the beginning of December! I'm such a hermit. I wake up, go to work, come home, eat and then sleep. On my days off I just want to be at home in my comfys blogging and drinking tea.. I'm an old women before my time, I'm sure of it.

4. Go To The Gym More

I signed up to the gym a month ago, I've been once. I know, I know I'm ashamed of myself but I'm making it my mission to go at least 3 times a week after I finish work. I mean a summer body isn't going to prepare itself although wouldn't that be amazing!

5. Clear Out: Clothes/Makeup/Accessories

I have been meaning to clear out all the clothes I no longer want or what needs to be binned and never see daylight again for awhile now but I told my boyfriend I'd help him do his too when I'm doing mine and I'm not joking when I say this... he has more clothes than any woman I've ever met, and I've met a lot! I'm dreading it.. but I'm hoping we can get it down to at least half, although that would still be a lot of clothes. I'm also going to sort out all my makeup too, I'm sure I have billions off gone off mascara's in my makeup draw, eugh.

Blogging Goals

1. Keep Blogging Consistently

I have been super proud of myself recently for keeping to the promise I made myself in December to blog more this year and too put my all into it. I'd been constantly complaining I was bored so often but I just didn't have the motivation to blog and the drive wasn't there but I'm so happy I'm blogging again, I have something to do with the little spare time I have!

2. Take Better Quality Photographs

I hate winter for the simple fact there is not enough sunlight in the day, if the sun is shining through my window or the skies are blue and the room is filled with light I have to be ridiculously quick to take photos before the clouds roll in or before it's dark outside, so 9 times out of 10 I've grabbed all the items I've wanted to use in my post took a few snaps and then that's that! I can't wait for summer, I'll have all day to take my time to take nice bright photos.

3. Expand My Content More

I feel I can get so repetitive sometimes as I don't mix up my posts enough. I constantly ramble on about makeup but there are so many other aspects of beauty products that I forget to mention. I also want to do a lot more Lifestyle posts as this is meant to be a beauty and lifestyle blog.. I just get distracted by all the pretty makeup!

4. Gain More Followers

Followers aren't everything to me, I'm sure everyone says that but I enjoy blogging for the simple fact of blogging and keeping some sort of online diary. I enjoy writing all about my experiences with beauty products but of course it's nice to know that someone is reading and enjoying what your writing as you fellow bloggers know a LOT of hard work and time goes into blogging especially if you hope it will kick off one day and you can do what you love as a job! I mean the more followers the more exposure your blog has, right?
