I'm back on my blog today with my review of the year 2019! :3 Better a bit late than never, haha! XD; These posts tend to be a bit longer than most so let's start right away! ^w^

So that was my year 2019 in review! :3 I'm really glad of everything that I accomplished last year and I'm really looking forward the year ahead! I feel like I have so many projects to tackle and things I want to do and that makes me excited for the future! ^w^
As for my resolutions from last year, I think I accomplished the majority of them overall! For this year I think I'm going to have fewer of them and see them more as "guidelines" in my life more than actual resolutions per se. ~
~ Resolutions 2020! ~
~ Take more time for self-care routines and reflexion; daily and weekly. (Taking care of my body and my mind too!)
~ Host at least one Lolita meetup each month, even if it's just a casual meetup!
~ Get back to my blogging routine and post weekly on that blog! (I also think I want to get back to posting my outfits each week/two weeks like I used to do before!)
~ Replace the pieces that needs to be replaced in my closet and add a few new pieces (or accessories) to refresh my outfits!
~ Have a little bucket list/to-do list for each month with the things I need to do or what I want to accomplish for the month.
~ Finish at least 10 animes this year! (Priorising the "classics" from my favourite genres that I haven't watched yet!)
~ Go thrifting as often as possible to expand my collections (Vintage toys/plushies, Hello Kitty, antique teacups, etc...)
~ Continue to have activities with my close friends or with small group of friends as often as possible! ^w^ (I aim for at least one "friend date" a month! :3)
~ Get back into creative work and projects that are important and meaningful to me; Writing, role-playing, sewing, DIY projects in general, etc...
I hope that you enjoyed taking a peek at what I did last year and that my resolutions may help you to settle your own too! :3
Until next time my precious peridot jewels, take care! ~
