Rainy Day Reads

It’s the first bright day of a brand new year!  And that means it’s time to take inventory of last year’s resolutions. I made a post here detailing my resolutions, but in short they were: Do more DIY Take up yoga or pilates Do a 365 challenge/one picture a day for a year challenge Read 60 books I think it went okay. I managed to upload one DIY on the blog…I mean, I could have done better, but one is more than zero, right? I have been doing yoga and pilates. Not super regularly, because I do it at home using Youtube videos and the Yoga studio app, but I’m doing it. I managed to complete the 365 challenge. There were a few days I missed out, because I was out of wifi range and my app kept crashing when I tried to upload, but I am going to count it as a win anyway! I read 64 books for my Goodreads challenge of 60 books, so that is a definite win!  I really feel like I won the 2015 resolutions, if you can call it that. The DIY thing is questionable, but...

So half the year has gone by, and it is time for a performance review, as far as my resolutions go.  1.  Do more DIY! I have an ever growing Pinterest DIY board full of fun and great ideas, but I just never seem to sit down and do them. I hope that having this blog where I can share my progress will help me in being motivated to tick some pins off my board. As far as DIY goes, as you will have noticed by the lack of DIY posts on this blog, I haven't really made any strides. I am working on stuff, it is just larger stuff, like bedspreads, which take a long time to finish. But I hope to upload my first DIY soon. It will be book-related, so that should be fun! 2. Take up yoga or pilates. This is a more specific version of the "get fit" resolution, and once you've signed up for a class, there is way more motivation to actually go do it.  Epic fail! I have nothing else to say... 3. Do a "365 pictures/a picture a day for 365 days" project. I t...

Yes, I have yet again made some resolutions for the new year. I usually make some every year and I usually fail them! But this year I really want to make an effort to keep them. I do say that every year though..... Because I usually fail at keeping my resolutions I have picked some this year that I think will be easier to keep. Not the usual "get fit" or "save more money" which are quite hard to keep because the motivation just usually isn't there and they are quite unspecific. So this year I have gone for quite specific resolutions and some that I feel I am more motivated to keep, just because I'm interested in them! So here goes... Do more DIY! I have an ever growing Pinterest DIY board full of fun and great ideas, but I just never seem to sit down and do them. I hope that having this blog where I can share my progress will help me in being motivated to tick some pins off my board. Take up yoga or pilates. This is a more specific version of the ...
