How is already January 2017 like wtf?!
I've decided to write a list of my favourite things of this year, like memories, food and other random things which made my 2016.
2016 made me feel great about myself, my life and everyone who is a part of it and made it special to me. I feel like 2015-2016 made me grow up, mature and think about the future and it's made me realise how grateful I am for all of that.
This next year is meant to be the year I leave home and go to uni, how I don't feel old enough or responsible enough for that?! I'm so anxious however I am so excited to find out where I am and what I am doing this time next year.
So here are the absolute best parts of my 2016.
1. FRIENDS
This year has been the year of creating memories with the best people I know. I've realised that the fewer friends you have the better the friendships are. The people in my classes at school have made me feel so happy and actually want to go to school every day and for that I love them (excuse the soppy paragraph).
2. PRETTY LITTLE LIARS
Can we just stop and think about PLL!!!!!!
I've never been one of those TV addicts until this year. PLL changed my life, I spent every moment I could watching it as it's insaneeee!!! I cannot wait until April so season 7 pt 2 can begin and I can forget everything bad again.
3. CORNWALL
This year was the first time I've ever been to Corwall but I enjoyed it so much. Ngl the weather was so much better in Norwich that where we were on holiday but spending the mornings watching friends was great! I felt so relaxed and enjoyed it so much.
4. HIGH NECK THINGS
Anything with a high neck is just amazing, and I have no been able to take myself out of this style.
This year has been the year of living in black high-waisted jeans and high neck tops or jumpers, in all seasons. I literally have a high next top for every day, I mean it's an obsession but they are way to comfy to stop wearing.
5. SLEEK HIGHLIGHTING PALETTE
Right, if you have not been on social media, YouTube or Instagram this year you would've not seen the hype about the Sleek, Solstice Highlighter Palette. This year has been all about the highlighting and that palette has made my year and my face.
6. TURNING 18
On September 3rd, I entered adulthood.
I can legally buy alcohol and experience the city nightlife, which is actually so fun even though I was extremely drunk the whole time and regretted it all the morning after. I spent my 18th first with my family and then celebrating with my friends at my fave restaurant, Bills. Then picked up the new family kitten, which leads me onto my next point.
7. CATS
I am 100% a cat person over a dog person which is why I found this year challenging. May this year, I lost Olly and that was honestly the hardest part of my year. If you're not an animal person, read on but he was like my best friend, he suddenly left my side and I was missing something that I really needed back.
I needed another feline in my life, so for my 18th, I received a white, tabby, female kitten called Flossie. She is adorable but she is also crazyy. She's filled the space in our house which was missing.
8. SALTED CARAMEL
If you've never tried salted caramel, pause and come back once you have cause you are missing out.
I could not write this blog post without including salter caramel. I'm talking about biscuits, drinks or even body wash I have been overly addicted. The sweetness with the salt is just too good to resist omg.
9. VELVET BOOTS
In November 2016 I got my hands on some black velvet boots, I have never been that person to actually like buying shoes. I mean I'd prefer to buy makeup or clothes but I felt like I really needed to indulge myself in them. When I was shoe shopping with one of my friends, I cam across some velvet chelsea boot heels. I could not stop thinking about them for over a week that I eventually treated myself to them. Since, I have used every occasion I could to wear them.
So they are my nine favourite of 2016. I have loved every single thing and so much more but these are just a few I've picked out.
I hope 2017 is just as great, if not better, that 2016 and I can't wait to share as much as I can on here.
Roll on 2017!!!!
