HAPPY NEW YEARRRRR!

*Clears throat* Why hello there everyone, and a huge hello to 2014, too. It hasn't quite sunk in yet, this whole '2014' thing. But either way, it is upon us, ready to be embraced. Hopefully we will be in store for a jolly good 365 days. I must admit, I am having extremely good feelings about 2014. I'm not sure what it is, I am just sensing a whole lot of positivity and love - I truly think this year will be fabulous. Well, heres hoping! I thought it would be appropriate to kick start 2014 here on Mollie Jess Blog with a little '2014 expectations' kind of post - like a pre-summary of what is to come, if you will. But first, I believe there are a few thank you's and other words of the sort in order for 2013. 

I would like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for reading, following, commenting, and supporting Mollie Jess Blog. There isn't a whole lot of you, I am aware, but I grateful for each and every person who has helped Mollie Jess Blog get started. In 2013, my blog was born - and I have big aims, goals, and hopes for my blog in 2014. I hope all of my lovely readers and followers continue to support my blog and I, and I hope to welcome lots of new lovely people to our little community. So, once again, a huge thank you for all the support and lovliness you guys give - you are all fab-u-lous!

Now we have well and truly said goodbye to 2013, its time to start chatting about 2014.

Lets start by discussing the obvious - resolutions. Every year we all promise to eat healthier, hit the gym, cut down on chocolate etc etc. We can all honestly admit that by the time February arrives, we are still sat on our sofas, no gym membership in sight, eating more chocolate than ever. So this year, I decided to make some resolutions that mattered to me, and that I would truly be able to stick to. I think resolutions are something you have to want to do, and you have to have the right mind and motivation towards the resolution in order to achieve your goals. You definitely have to think for yourself, too. Whilst other people can help inspire your own resolutions, you definitely have to really have a deep think about them for yourself. So, here are mine: 

1. Make plans to do more fun, memorable, adventurous things.

This year, I want to start living more, and doing exciting things to create exciting memories to talk about excitedly years from now. I do plenty of fun things in my life but this year in particular, I am sensing there is a little room left for even more fun things in my life. I am hoping to get up to all sorts of adventures, and can't wait to share each and every one with all of you. I have a feeling my camera is going to become my best companion this year!

2. Drink more water.

Water is so important for so many different reasons - helps skin stay healthy, keeps you hydrated, and just all round makes you healthier and better. I definitely do not drink enough water and so it is definitely time to make a change in that field. 

3. Say yes to more opportunities. 

By this, I just mean I want to grasp more oppurtunities with borth hands kind of thing. I just want to make the most of situations and all of that. 

I am super excited to see what is in store for me in the blogging field throughout 2014, and have a few goals and aims for my blog this year. I would love to reach 100 followers (on Bloglovin') and possibly more. It would make me a verrryyy happy girly! I would also like to re-design my blog and give it a little makeover. I want to find a blog design that I am truly happy with. I am hoping 2014 is the year for reaching my goals... Fingers crossed!

So, what should you expect from Mollie Jess Blog in 2014?

- The same old reviews, fun posts, photos from my days out, continued series, beauty, fashion & lifestyle posts. 

- More series. I love to make series on my blog as I find when I'm low on inspiration, I can write a post that fits to the theme of one of my series. Also, I find the ones that are aimed to be posted on particular days esnure I post regularly. Expect to see more Winteicious Treats & more Magnificent Monday's. Yay! (Or nay, if they're not really your cup of tea).

So - I'm going to introduce the first series of 2014 to you all now. It is going be be called 'Lush-tastic Friday's'. Basically, every Friday (maybe not every single Friday, but as many Friday's as I can) I will be reviewing a different Lush Bath product; including step by step pictures of the bath bomb working its magic. Almost like a demo, except photos not videos. I will say which I like and which I don't, and it shall be a whole lot of fun. 

- Lastly, I would really like to incorporate more fashion posts into my blog. So more OOTD's, more lookbooks - all that jazz.  If this is something you would like, then let me know. Similarly - let me know what kind of posts yoy enjoy seeing on my blog, and what you would like to see more of. I would appreciate it greatly! 

Now, I guess all that is left to say is another big Happy New Year from me, and may 2014 be all that you wish it to be. Best wishes for the year ahead, and may your goals and dreams become reality as you journey through the year. Wishing a happy, healthy, joyous & peaceful 2014. Speak to you all soon!
