Ways A Virtual Assistant Can Help You In 2025


Ah, January - the month of fresh starts, big plans, and attempting to undo the festive damage (to both your waistline and your wallet). It’s also been the perfect time to give your business a little TLC and set it up for success. But if the idea of tackling all those to-dos makes you want to hibernate until spring, let me introduce your new best friend: a Virtual Assistant (VA).

It's nearing the end of the month now, but here’s why bringing a VA on board might just be the smartest move you make in 2025.

Fresh Year, Fresh Strategy

January isn’t just for new gym memberships and trying to like kale again—it’s the ideal time to refresh your business strategy. But between updating goals, juggling admin, and keeping up appearances online, it’s easy to feel stretched thin.

That’s where I come in. Here’s how I can make your life a whole lot easier:

Social Media? Sorted.
Imagine having a whole month’s worth of posts planned, written, and scheduled while you focus on the big stuff. Whether it’s Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn, I can keep your brand visible and engaging.

Emails? On it.
Got a New Year sale? Need to reconnect with clients? Want to start a shiny monthly newsletter? Leave it to me—I’ll create campaigns that actually get opened and clicked.

Blog Posts? No Problem.
Blogging is a fantastic way to boost your website’s SEO and keep your audience engaged—but who’s got the time? Spoiler alert: I do. I’ll craft content that’s not just consistent but captivating too.


Why Hire Me?

I’ve spent over two years helping business owners breathe easier by taking time-consuming tasks off their plates. Whether it’s admin, social media, or creating standout content, I’m your go-to for getting things done.

Here’s what my clients say they love about working with me:

✨ My creativity 
✨ My reliability 
✨ My knack for making the process easy and stress-free

New Year, No Stress

2025 is your year to focus on what really matters - whether that’s scaling your business, spending more time with your loved ones, or finally taking a guilt-free holiday.

So, why not kickstart the year with a little extra support? Let’s create a plan that works for you and your goals.

Drop me a message today, and let’s make 2025 your most productive, stress-free year yet!

January 2025 Wishlist


It's a new year, and a month - so another wishlist!

Yes, I know we've just had Christmas, but I love a wishlist!

I like to make these now and then so I can visualise what I'm after at the moment, and then I can hopefully go and buy them once my clients all pay me! 

Here is what has caught my eye for January!

Goals For 2025


Ah, the fresh promise of a new year. Nothing screams "I’m ready to sort my life out" quite like the first page of a January calendar. So, in true tradition, I’ve spent a little time dreaming up my goals for 2025. Some are personal, some are for my business, and some are just wild hopes that’ll probably be halfway abandoned by February. But hey, a girl can dream!


Personal Goals: Me, Myself, and My Chaos

Lose weight (again... always… forever).
Is it even a goals list without this one? It’s basically tradition at this point. Will 2025 finally be the year I actually do it? We’ll see. Let’s just say I’m optimistic!

Marie Kondo the heck out of my bedroom.
I’m talking a mass exodus of everything. Old clothes? Gone. That random stack of unread books? Outta here. If it’s not sparking joy or actively useful, it’s being evicted.

Turn my room into a Pinterest board.
Once the clutter’s gone, I want to turn my room into the ultimate aesthetic space. Organised shelves, fairy lights - the works. It’s time to upgrade from “functional chaos” to “chic sanctuary.”

Learn 100 more words in Spanish.
Hola, 2025, I’m ready to level up my language game! I love the idea of expanding my vocab. Maybe one day, I’ll even string together a full sentence without Google Translate!

Reignite my workout routine.
I used to be pretty consistent with workouts (honestly, who was she?), and it made me feel amazing. This year, I want to get back into the habit - bonus points if it helps with the weight-loss goal!

Boss my finances.
It’s time to give my savings trackers some love. I want to save more, spend smarter, and make decisions my future self will actually thank me for.


Business Goals: Big Moves Ahead

Hit that £1200/month milestone.
It’s ambitious, but if I can keep growing my little business, this goal is definitely within reach. Here’s to grafting hard and making it happen! 💪

Welcome 2-3 new clients into the fold.
The more, the merrier! I love working with new people and helping them achieve their goals - so let’s bring on some fresh faces and exciting projects.

Maybe take on an associate?!?
I said maybe because, honestly, this feels HUGE. But as my workload grows, having a little extra support could be the game-changer I need. Watch this space…

Create all the freebies and resources.
I’ve got a long list of digital download ideas - planners, templates, guides… 2025 is the year I finally get them out into the world. They’ll be perfect for my clients (and anyone else who loves a good download)!


So, there you have it: my 2025 goals in all their glory. Some are practical, some are dreamy, and some are downright terrifying (hello, associate hire!). But that’s the beauty of a new year, isn’t it?

Have you set your goals for the year ahead? Tell me what’s on your list - I’d love to know what you’re aiming for! Let’s smash 2025 together. 💥

Looking Back at 2024 - And Going Into 2025


Can you believe it’s nearly the end of 2024? This year has been a whirlwind of ups and downs, so I thought I’d take a little time to reflect on what’s happened and share a few thoughts for the year ahead.

2024

This July marked my second year in business, and it’s been a busy one! I’ve welcomed 6 new clients, plus another 4 in my associate VA role, so it’s been a full-on year of growth. While the hustle has definitely had its stressful days, I’m still loving every minute (or almost every minute!). 

In September we had a few days out to visit Chessington as usual, and then me and Dad went to visit Hever Castle in Kent, as I've been obsessed (even more than usual) with all things Tudor related. I blame SIX the musical!!


On the health side, things have been…a little rough. It feels like I’ve had a new cold or infection almost every month, not to mention my foot injury flaring up again. I’ve barely worked out this year, which hasn’t done my fitness any favours. But I’m hoping to work on that in 2025. Family and friends have been a mixed bag: everyone is mostly well, though we faced the sad loss of my friend’s father. My sister and cousin both became single this year (big changes!), and my grandad Roy celebrated his 91st birthday! 


I also became a redhead this year - finally took the plunge and went to a local hairdresser, and I've been a red/copper colour since July - and I bloody love it. I've spent a lot of weekends since August being a football auntie to my lil munchkin Finley - my bestie Jodie's son - and I've got a tad into it. My heartrate during his games is HIGH.

Looking Forward to 2025

2025 is looking to be interesting, especially with some huge world events - I’m still reeling from the fact that Trump was re-elected in November. Being here in the UK, I didn’t think it would hit me so hard, but it was such a gut punch. I had my hopes pinned on Kamala Harris, and I’ll admit, I shed a few tears when the results were announced. It’s tough not knowing how his policies might impact the global scene.

For my business, I’m planning some big changes! I hope to phase out my associate role since it’s a lower hourly rate, and instead, I’m aiming to fill those hours with my own clients. (So if you need an extra pair of hands, I’m here!) I’m also considering a marketing revamp and some website updates.


As for holidays, I don’t think Florida will be on the cards for 2025. We’re watching how things play out in the States, especially now that Pumpkin Spice Palpatine is in power, so it’s probably wiser to plan a closer-to-home holiday instead. And with a bit more income from my own clients, I’ll be working on padding my finances in 2025 so I can save for those future adventures.

Here’s to making 2025 the best it can be, come what may! I hope you’re all as excited (and maybe a little cautious) as I am. Let’s go into the new year ready for anything! 

What has happened this year that you've loved, and what are you looking forward to in 2025? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)
