Random Ramble: Decisions, Decisions.

Tonight I've made a decision about the direction I want my blog to go in (pretty sure this post is a bit anti-climatic. I apologise.)

I've been uhmming and ahhing about where I want my focus to lie, be it beauty, fashion, books, lifestyle. I've decided that I'm never going to be a 'fashion blogger' as I don't have the time, nor can I really be arsed to take daily OOTD photos. Although I do want to include a few in the future. If my sister will take my photos for me (Colette, if you're reading this...)

I've decided, upon reading Blair's blog that I want to focus a lot more on literature. I'm an English student, so reading is a huge part of my life. I'm really loving reading again at the moment, so I want to include it a lot more.

Basically, my blog isn't going to have one focus, there will be bits and pieces (hopefully) of all of the above, but I definitely want to focus much more on the literature/lifestyle posts. I want to start taking more photos (currently thinking of buying a load of disposables for summer, opinions please?!) and documenting things a bit more.

Obviously, when I buy new things/find a new product I like/wear an outfit I like, I'll post about it. I'm not an OOTD girl, I hate having my photo taken, nor am I knowledgable enough about beauty to be a beauty blog.
I'm a new blogger and want to share snippets of my life with all you lovely lot who read my rambles.

What do you think? Is this mish-mash a good idea, would you want to read more of my crap? (ha!)

I guess I'll just see where this takes me :)

Blogging Targets

I've already done a post about some personal targets I've set for myself here, and I've mentioned in a few posts that I want to introduce some new content into the blog. I've spoken a lot about what I do during the week and what uni has been like for me so far, which I've enjoyed, but now I'm pretty much done with uni for the year, I'm struggling to come up with new content.

I wouldn't class myself as a 'beauty blogger' or a 'fashion' blogger, but my first target is:

• blog about a new beauty product/favourite beauty product at least once a month.

I'll be the first to admit I don't know too much about make-up or skin care, but I love reading beauty blogs and watching youtube videos.

My next target is:

• blog more, but make each post different. So if I've already done a 'what I've been up to' type post that week, I won't do another.

I want to mix up content to include reviews (beauty, books or others), and other things. I'm a bit hesitant to do 'outfit of the day' type posts, because whilst I love reading them, I don't particularly like blogs that are just outfits. I like a mixture, and particularly like the way Jen writes her posts - there's a range of topics with excellent photography and they're just fun to read. I may do one or two OOTDs in the near future to test the waters (if I can get my sister to take my photos).

What do you think? What would you like to read? Any suggestions would be really helpful!

Random Ramble: A Few Resolutions...

I know, I know, three posts in one night. I'm not entirely sure why, I'm just feeling motivated at the moment.
I've decided to set myself a few goals to keep myself organised.

• save more money! (£100 per wage) STOP FRITTERING
• read more - finish primary dissertation reading asap
• organise a rough dissertation plan before returning to Uni - colour -code books etc.
• pass the bloody driving test
• don't work yourself to the bone like last year, relax, learn to enjoy things that don't require money

Nothing groundbreaking here, I'm not sure what it is but recently, although I'm happy and comfortable with my life and where I'm going, I'm panicking about the future. I want to have savings, something to fall back on, I want to be organised. I would also love to pass my driving test before my 21st. I've taken (read: failed) 3, and my theory ran out in December. It's going to be difficult and very expensive.

Wild Beasts - We Still Got The Taste Dancin' On Our Tongues

I discovered Wild Beasts via Tumblr tonight. That's one of the many reasons I love that website, I discover new things I probably wouldn't ever see/hear.
