Happy New Year!

Happy new year Bloggerbeans,
What a year it has been. 2016 is now upon us and I am really excited for what It brings. Last year my new years resolution was to 'do more of what made me happy' and I definitely managed to achieve this. Last year was filled with such emotion and was one of the first years in a long while I will want to remember. It was a year where I found myself and instead of fighting myself, accepted who I was as a person which has made me a lot happier. This blog hit 10,000 views last year and that is an unbelievably high number which starting out was such an impossible idea to fathom yet it happened! Its such a crazy thought to think that Blogging has now become a living and breathing part of me which has filled the void inside me last year. I can safely say without this little space on the internet I would not be the person I am today. I also discovered a lot about makeup and fashion last year and how I secretly love it all. If I told 2014 Katy by the end of 2015 she would be addicted to lipstick and eye-shadow pallets she would not believe me. Making myself feel confident and re affirming it through wearing clothes and red lipstick as dark as my inner soul made me feel like I could conquer the world. This year I want to set resolutions that are small yet if I achieved would make me incredibly happy. These include:
1. Master the art of Baking - This is my main goal as last year I was really inspired by the Great British Bake Off to improve my terrible baking skills and get in the kitchen to bake. I feel learning to bake is such a useful and undermined skill in this day and age as convenience food is so easy yet there's nothing better than homemade food which is edible mind you. If things go well I may start to have a little baking segment on this blog, we'l have to see.
2. Picking myself up and being resilient with Job searching - Halfway through 2015 I started to job search and out of many applications, 2 Job interviews... I still don't have a job *sigh*. The start of this month of January I am going to start the search which I stopped mid November and keep on hunting. I will be the first to tell you when I get a job, I just got to keep on swimming* (*Ten teenage points if you get this first blogpost reference!)
3. Be more open and willing to try new things - I want 2016 to be a year where I say yes to as many good things as possible and not to let my anxiety hold back as I can do it. its just believing in myself. If I see a crop top or bikini and like it I'm going to have the guts to try it on and perhaps even buy it. If I want to wear a certain shade of lipstick I will. I will perform to the best of my abilities in all aspects of my life, including my performing side of course. I will not hold back anymore and let society dictate what I can or can't do, wear or say anymore. If it makes me happy, so be it!
These are just a few things I want to try and achieve. I hope 2016 gets off to a good start Bloggerbeans and know that this year will be another year I will want to remember.
