We made it to April somehow, I mean it’s raining pretty much all the time, the weather is pretty damn awful, and I still have a lot of left over Easter chocolate which will probably be devoured in one sitting. To give myself a bit of a kick up the backside, I’ve decided to make a list of a few things I want to do in April so I have a goal to reach and I can basically make April the month where I get stuff done, and feel like I have my life in order haha. So what am I going to do?
1. Improve my photography
My photos have come such a long way since when I first started my blog, I mean you can actually see what the products are now, so that is always a good start, but we did all start somewhere. I have a really good system when it comes to taking blog photos, I mean right now I’m just using my diffuser (with the help of my husband) and I’m loving it!
2. Get back in front of the camera
I’ve got lots of outfit pictures that I want to take this month, I’m hoping that I can get lots done, find ones that I’m happy with as I’d had a very low confidence month last month! I have some super cute locations that I want to go to, I mean I’m not going to the well known cafe’s or shops that bloggers take some killer photos in front of, I like to be around nature really, but I’m excited!
3. Bake some new recipes
I’ve got so many recipes banked right now that I need to try, test and taste test with my husband, but time has not been on my side, I’ve been super busy and it’s just not happened. There are some really exciting ones too, especially my first iced vegan cake, which I cannot wait to share with you. I have tried and tested it already, but I need to remake it as it was my mum’s birthday cake!
4. Clear out my clothes
I still have clothes from before I lost 10 dress sizes, I kept a few, but honestly it is taking up so much room and I need room. I need to have places for my new clothes. So I’m going to be giving a load to charity, some of them I haven’t even worn, but I know that someone else will get more use out of them than I will!
5. Make plans with my friends
I’m awful at making plans with my friends, I mean of course I talk to my friends, but there is nothing better than catching up over a glass of wine is there? That is what I’m planning to do at some point!
6. Keep up with a skincare routine
Lately I’ve been really good at keeping up with my routine, I mean I’m not perfect, sometimes when I’m knackered it’s like nope, not happening, I need sleep. But a good skincare routine makes a massive difference when I’m putting my make up on! I just say that over and over in my head when I need to move and do my skin.
What are you planning to do this month? Let me know in the comments!

I love a good declutter, especially of clothes – I normally go by the mantra of, if I’m unsure, keep it until the next declutter and if I haven’t worn it again, then chuck it. I’ve got rid of so much stuff that way because I just don’t need it. I lived out of a suitcase for 2 years when I was travelling so 100% know that it’s doable.
I always love reading goals posts, good luck with April!
That is so good for having a proper clear out, I might use that mantra actually, it might help me to get rid of loads of my stuff haha! xxxx
I did a declutter at the beginning of the year, inspired by the Minimalists and played a game where you get rid of one thing on day one, two on day two and so on and so forth! I was amazed at how much stuff I had for one, and secondly how little I have missed it all! I think you’ll feel awesome after getting rid of those clothes, plus how incredible to be able to get rid of things that don’t fit as you’ve lost weight 🙂
Improving photography is one of my goals too – good luck!
Ah the dreaded skincare routine, I have stopped expecting myself to do this as it never happens! I am so lazy when it comes to my skin and it’s definitely suffered in these cold months. I am going to try and remember your little mantra! x
I have looked into the whole minimalist thing, I was definitely going to do it and for some reason just didn’t. Might actually start to do that! I’ve really started getting into my skincare routine and instead of viewing it as a chore, enjoying it! xxxx
I love your photos in general, but I know what you mean with still wanting to improve. I am the same! Baking sounds fabby too!
