Rachel's Diaries: Happy New Year & New Year Goals

Wow, a brand new year and a fresh new start!! I would usually set myself some kind of resolutions but this year I wanted to set myself some goals.

Some will be for the blog and some will be for life in general, as a sort of updated bucket list that I plan on revisiting around 6 months in to see how well I've kept things going.

I can't wait to get more interesting posts out to you all, I've got lots of plans and I've got a MASSIVE 1 year Bloggivesary Giveaway coming up in the next few weeks so keep your eyes open for that.

Onto my goals for this year, for what I want to achieve for my blog;

Interact more on Twitter, have more conversations with you lovely lot, take part in chats and of course make sure I'm tweeting about my latest posts. I would love to hit 1k followers on there too.

Spend a bit more time on Facebook and start to build up my page a bit more. I would love it if you could give me a little like on there.

I love Instagram and I do spend a fair amount of time on there but I would love to hit the 1k mark with followers on there.

I'm really thinking about starting my own YouTube channel too, I just need to post more on my insta stories I think to get my confidence up as this is something that is way out of my comfort zone. But, I definitely want to start doing things out of my comfort zone.

As for my life this year I'd love us to go on another family holiday and do more exciting days/weekends away. As a couple I want for me and the OH to have regular time together, date nights and weekends away.

I want to do 2 fun sponsored events for charity, if I manage to get more than 2, great but for now, 2 is a more realistic goal for me to achieve.

Get myself fit and healthy again, not to lose weight but to be fit again so I can keep up with the kids and not feel out of breath doing things. Going to the gym/classes, making workouts more fun. Taking the dog out on longer walks.

I would love to be pregnant this year, we've been trying for 12 months but it hasn't happened yet so hopefully this is the year.

I want to be a better vegetarian and give up meat completely, I have slipped up a few times. I have been finding more recipes and I really want to start sharing those.

Be more Eco, find out how I can swap some of the things I have to more greener and environment friendly products. Do more for the environment, grow my own fruit and veg, make my own compost.

Buy more ethical clothing and accessories, make a conscious effort about where I shop and what I buy.

Well, there you have just some of my goals I'm going to start the year off with.

What goals have you set for yourself?? Is there anything you already do that I have mentioned??
