Happy New Year & GIVEAWAY!

After a month long case of bad-blogger syndrome, I am back for the new year!

December was such a busy month for me, and it was horrible taking a break from my lovely little space of internet, but I'm back with blog post ideas up to my eyeballs and raring to go!

As promised as well, I said I'd run a little giveaway when I reached 200 Bloglovin followers, and it's happened! Thankyou to each and everyone one of you lovely little lot who read my ramblings, I appreciate all of your comments, and I hope you stay with me in 2015! So yeah, see the bottom of this post for a giveaway of some of my most loved winter favourites that I am super excited to share with you!

Back to work now though, and on with my New Year's Resolutions! 

I know you've all probably read a million of these by now but I feel like my New Year can't get off to a productive start if I don't write down all of my thoughts and goals for the year, and this time I thought I'd share them with you...

1. Get fit and be healthy!

The most clichéd resolution of them all but it is one I'm determined to stick to! Me and the other half are making it a joint effort, and we've loaded our fridge with so much healthy food that there really isn't an excuse to let ourselves slip...Day 1 started today and it's going well so far! 

I'm also going to take up running, which is something I have a love hate relationship with, and by that I mean that I hate running but love the idea of it (but never can actually be arsed to get my trainers out, story of my life...) First run is going to happen tonight and I'm scared for the sake of my lungs but I'll keep you posted on my progress! I spent so much of 2014 feeling bloated and self-conscious, so am determined to make a real go of it this year.

2. Eat breakfast EVERY DAY

An extension of number 1 but it is something that I very rarely do! I know it's supposed to be the most important meal of the day and all that but I am in the lifelong habit of not eating a thing until around 2pm, and it's not doing me any favours! Day 1 of that too, and my healthy granola and morning coffee (WITHOUT SUGAR, HURRAH!), went down a treat. Roll on day 2....

3. Get organised!

Those that know me know how organised I generally am and I love being a perfectionist, but again in 2014 I let this slip, so really need to sort my shit out and organise my life! That includes blogging, and I definitely don't want to have to take any month long breaks again. That being said, I'm making a vow to post daily on here at 6pm every evening, and we'll see how we go from there! I also want to keep up with my comments and social media and take part in more blogger chats as the few chats that I've participated in have 

been so fun and rewarding.

And last but not least...

4. Read more

As a former self-confessed bookworm, I think I managed to read one whole book in 2014, if that! I have a stack of titles waiting for me on my Kindle, and I need to spend more time winding down in the evenings with a good book. Also, I want to start reading more blogs! I love it when you leave me your links with a lovely blog comment so I can read new blogs and gain other people's perspectives on life, it's the best bit!

And now for the giveaway!
