A bit of a photo-compilation of things I either got for Christmas or bought in the sales. I've probably spent a bit too much money this last couple of weeks (!) but I don't really regret it; I've got loads of bargains and have more or less acquired an all-new work wardrobe, so I shouldn't have to buy anything for a while now (easier said than done). I also have so many new hair tools that my hair should theoretically look ALL AMAZING, ALL THE TIME in 2012. Speaking of which, I can't actually believe it's 2012...

My Christmas and new year were (mostly...) uneventful but nice. My new year's resolutions are simple: to work hard, read lots, do more exercise and be positive. Oh yeah, and start writing a book (eek). All in all, I feel like this is going to be a good year. It's the year I'll be 28, which in terms of the actual age itself is completely terrifying, but also good because 28 has been my lucky number for as long as I can remember. That means something absolutely amazing is BOUND to happen.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and NYE, and good luck with your resolutions (or plans, or hopes), whatever they may be!
