Christmas <3

This year has been so amazing, arguably the best of my life yet. It's been so different to 2012! The biggest and best change from then has been starting this Blog and also my Youtube channel. I've been able to meet the most amazing people and do things I never of thought I could.

From this year I have learnt that I can achieve more than I think. I'm looking to say yes to more opportunities and not back out because I don't think I'm capable. I've grown so much this year and I cannot wait to see what 2014 brings! 

Happy New Year Everyone <3
