Well, I'm a little late to the party posting this but I think that it's still meaningful provided I publish it before January is over and it certainly makes me feel more accountable than if I fail to share it at all. It's not a long list - 2012 was so good for me that I don't have many wants or wishes!
To Do:
* Make my home my haven
* Drink green juice more than three times each week
* Take a two week holiday abroad in the sunshine
* Complete a photography course (started Jan 2013)
* Learn some Photoshop techniques
* Host a great party
* Bake something for Valentine's Day
* Attend a concert
* Declutter
* See a musical
* Go for afternoon tea somewhere quirky
* Buy a watch that I'll keep forever
* Get a professional manicure at least once a month (1/12)
* Watch a complete popular TV series
* Take a weekend away somewhere I've never been in the UK
* Watch 12 new films
* Buy a Christmas jumper early before all the good ones sell out
* Read 4 fiction books
Tell me what's on your to-do list for 2013! I love hearing what your plans are. And for those who set yourself goals at the start of the year, how's it going?

Lovely post! I'd really like to complete a photography course too. :) xx

Just do it! I started mine already and it's super interesting :)
Deletethese are awesome goals! xx
ReplyDeleteThose are great ideas :) My big one this year is to get a place at my favourite university!
ReplyDeletehttp://louisasnotebook.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/afternoon-tea.html
Good luck with that!
DeleteDeclutter is on my to do list every year but this is the first year I've attempted to achieve it! I've found doing a small bit at a time really helps.
ReplyDeleteThat's the key to it - little and often. I'll tackle a drawer or a cupboard at a time :)
DeleteBetter late than never, and I love your goals :)

Good luck!

I much prefer making goals like this, rather than 'lose weight, go to the gym'. I have a list of 30 for 2013, but my favourites include going to the ballet, visiting five places I've never visited before, buying a piece of furniture aaaandd... learning to ride my bike in the road! x
ReplyDeleteOh completely...so much fun and more realistic to tackle a list like this. And I'll take so much pleasure from ticking them off one by one! Good luck with yours - lovely goals :)
DeleteLovely list :) hope you get them all done xx
ReplyDeleteLovely post, hope you do all these things! x

I have just discovered this blog thanks to the Londoners blog and I am loving it! Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteP.s you have given me the idea of baking a cake for valentines day, my boyfriend doesn't really like valentines day but I think he will definitely appreciate a cake!
yay! I saw The Londoner's post - lovely for some of her readers to pop on over and say hi :) Thanks for stopping by! All men appreciate sweet treats :)
DeleteI'd love to do a photography course too as I don't think that i'm using my slr to its potential. I'd love to use up plenty of products in 2013.

I like your list! Declutter is one of my goals too. I've cleaned out and donated a lot of things, but I still have a long way to go.
ReplyDeleteI love these goals! If you're looking for somewhere quirky for afternoon tea, I can really recommend The Sanderson in London. They do an amazing Alice in Wonderland Mad Hatter themed afternoon tea. I'm going back for a second time later this year and can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI would also love to go away for a weekend to somewhere I haven't been before. Maybe Scotland! xx
Thank you so much for the recommendation Sophie. I'm so intrigued by that - it sounds delightful! xo
Deleteooh 12 films.. have you watched the hunger games?
ReplyDeleteim loving these and deffo have my own to-do-list for 2013
BreezeyBee Blog
xoXo
Yes! I watched it at the cinema. I liked it but didn't love it so I'm not sure if I'll watch the others as they come out.
DeleteI definitely love this list. It's so much more meaningful than 'lose weight' or 'stop eating chocolate' or any other common ones that people always break! Watch 12 new films... I write film reviews on my blog, you might see something you like on there and want to watch! Good luck with sticking to your goals!
ReplyDeleteChristina from Passion Obsession x
Lol, getting a Christmas jumper early this year is on my list too!
ReplyDeleteLovely post, really enjoyed reading it.
This is a great to-do list for 2013! Good luck with it all xx
ReplyDeleteSuch a great list of aims for the coming year, and I like the fact that they are actually achievable. I'm focusing on simple goals for each month, so that I can adapt as the year goes on.
ReplyDeleteDrink green juice & go for afternoon tea some where quirky are fabulous ideas. Definitely adding them to my 2013 list, it's not to late to add to the list is it?
ReplyDeleteHave you got a musical in mind to see?
Veronica x
I think you can add to the list all year round! There are no rules ;-) Musical wise - I'm not sure? Any suggestions? I'd really like to be a big kid and see The Lion King.
DeleteWhat a lovely idea, I think I will have to start my own list. It's nice to look back on it and reflect on what you did/didn't achieve! Thanks for sharing, I enjoy reading other people's aspirations.

What a lovely post of plans! I'm looking forward to reading what you ticked off in the end :)
ReplyDeleteLots of love and have a lovely weekend!!

What a lovely comment - thank you. I'll keep you posted with how I'm getting on :)
DeleteMy bf is a photographer and he has been kind enough to teach me some things but a full-on photography course sounds like a fantastic idea :) I would like to learn more Photoshop! I see that he never posts his photos without putting a proper border or making sure the colors are perfect etc. The photos are already great to begin with but they look excellent after. I´d also like to take the DELE to certify that I speak and understand a certain level of Spanish.
ReplyDeleteThe post processing is SO important. Definitely want to learn more about that. Installing Photoshop this evening actually :)
DeleteI aim to improve the look of my blog and make sure that I blog more. I hope you achieve your aims for the year.

According to the details, the ingredients in HGH Advanced
ReplyDeletehave been reported to boost mood, mental focus, energy, and sex drive.
If you are wishing to know about natural HGH supplements side
effects then it means you do NOT totally know how the supplements operate.
Any work out that is exhaustive acts as the best
HGH releasers, as these need energy to support and this is attained by burning fatty
tissues; this also increase protein synthesis to enable the body withstand severe demands of working out ; these
are considered the ways to generate the most effective human growth hormone.
