So as i had such a positive response to my post with my 2015 photos, I thought I would do one for each month as a way of ending that part and moving on onto the next.

I think for a lot of people, January is a bad month, and I have to agree. I went back to school after Christmas holidays which is always awful and I have soo many assessments.

However, in other aspects it has been pretty good. I hit 3000 blog views and I'm feeling confident about my blog now. I am producing content that I want to and that makes me happy.

For this month's photo I chose this one:

I'm not really sure why, but I really like this photo. I love the colours and the layout of everything. I don't really know if this photo has any deep or meaningful behind it but I thought I would go with it anyway.

It makes my day when you leave a comment so can you let me know what posts you want to see in February and if you enjoyed this post. Also sorry it's uploading late my wifi crashed.

Lots of Love

I have wanderlust:

a strong desire to travel.

"a man consumed by wanderlust"

I love learning new things and seeing different places and I really want to go on my gap year. I have been lucky enough to have already visited France, Spain, Italy and Switzerland with my family but I have a list full of places I haven't been which I would like to tick off and I am going to share them with you!

Paris, France - It seems like such a beautiful place and I have wanted to go for ages.

New York, USA - I really want to visit in winter because of the snow!

Sydney, Australia - it looks soo pretty

Iceland - I soo want too see the Aurora Borealis

That's only a few of lot of places but I enjoyed this so let me know what you think!

Lots of love

Hello! So like organization(here) I am 90% sure that most people had resolutions about being fitter and so did I. As well as this, I have to complete a January Fitness diary for school so it seemed like the perfect time to get started. Also today is a collab with WhiteInteriors who is having a fitness series on her blog so do go check that out!

I do quite a bit of exercise normally, as I play netball for school and for a club, but before christmas, I was feeling really out of breath in PE because my stamina levels had gone down and this is the main reason for me trying to get fitter. I am not doing it to lose weight, but that's perfectly fine if you are.

I have aimed to do 5 hours of exercise a week in January and trying to spread that evenly over the week. To reach this target, I have tried so new things which I am now going to tell you about!

The first one is planning. I use the calendar app on my phone and plan all my weekly exercise to see where I have gaps and what else is happening in my schedule.

The second one is a diy, on lollipop sticks or pieces of paper write down different workouts, such as 10 pushups so when you want to work out at home you can just pull one out. I haven't tried this yet but I am going to try it this week so I will let you know.

At the start of this month, I was using an app called the 7 minute workout which gives you a number of workouts to do including crunches, high knees, squats etc. and you set the amount of time(20 secs, 30 secs etc.) you want to do it for. When I did it, I would count how many I was doing and keep it in a notebook to see my progress.

And finally, if you are running, find a song that really motivates you and run for as long as that song goes on for or you could do squats for verses, lunges for the chorus and so on.

Sorry this was soo long, remember to look at WhiteInteriors post!

Lots of Love
Laura xx
