So that's what happened in my life in 2018! ~ I didn't thought I accomplished this much but seeing it all together like this makes me feel prouder of myself! :3 I made a bunch of new friends, had a lot of fun and nice activities with people I love dearly and made precious memories with them which is always something I cherish a lot. ^w^
As for my resolutions, I think I did pretty well last year even if I didn't complete them all! It usually motivate me to have a lot of resolutions so I want to make a little mashup of the resolutions from the past years that are still important to me as well as new things that I want to accomplish! I usually divide them into two categories, but I think I'll do only one big list for this year! :3
~ Resolutions 2019! ~
~ Try to get back into track with my finances this year and clear out my debt (or at least most of it)!
~ Get the few pieces I need to replace used ones in my closet.
~ Get at least one clothing item or accessory that I truly want and don't need.
~ Go thrifting as often as possible, get new things for my vintage toys and plushie collections!
~ Host more meetups for my local Lolita community than I did last year! (More than once a month!) I want to host bigger more formal full-day of activity meetups but also more smaller casual ones in between just to hang out together! ^w^
~ Host a "Lolita Fashion 102: For Advanced Lolitas" panel at the SagGeek this year!
~ Wear more Fairy-Kei and casual Otome outfits on days where I can't wear Lolita!
~ To take more pictures that aren't outfit pictures or aesthetic pictures for Instagram. I want to take pictures just for the sake of it, that aren't "pretty", candid shots, etc...
~ Incorporate my craft into my daily life more and not only focus on sabbats/events. Watch the moon cycles more closely and align my magick accordingly.
~ Try to keep my living space more tidy and clean, repair the things that needs to be repaired or replaced.
~ Get into mindful eating, have more balanced meals and try to not skip meals. (Even on weekends!)
~ Bake pretty desserts more often, for me and my friends! ^w^
~ Pick back the hobbies and activities that I put aside in the past years because of my health.
~ Pick up a Lolita Lifestyle inspired hobby that I have/had interest in and commit to it for good!
~ Get back into reading regularly! I have so many books on my waiting list! XD;
~ Get back into gaming more regularly! Actually play/complete the games I've already got before getting new ones.
~ Spend more time with my friends and even more with my close friends! I miss hosting big themed parties. :3
~ Have more dates/quality time just with the Prince! I feel like we need more special moments for just the two of us together.
~ Go on adventures, explore new places and do new things!
I decided to have 19 of them this year because I thought it was funny and I wanted to challenge myself. XD; It may seem like a lot to most people but as I said it truly motivates me to have a lot of resolutions and it makes me look forward accomplishing them more if I have a lot of them! XD;
I hope you'll have a great 2019 and may all your wishes may come true this year! ^w^
Until next time my precious glittery sparkles! ~
