December 2018 Faves

What a year and month it has been! Work has been manic all month with people food shopping for the big day! I've caught up with a bunch of friends over the month, and have been well and truly spoiled with presents. Not a bad year overall, but I know 2019 will be a lot better.

Anyway, hope you're all well, and here are my monthly faves!

Song
I am so obsessed with this song right now. Lots of 90's references, and the song is just contagious to listen to. I've had it on repeat in my car for weeks now, and cannot stop myself dancing to it in the traffic!


TV Show
It's been hard to mention a show I've not already said so far this year, but The Flash is one I've really enjoyed watching this month - plus how amazing was that Elseworlds crossover?? I am a huge fan of this show, mainly due to Cisco and Kaitlyn.

Film
I have almost made it to the end of my Marvel marathon, so I have to mention this amazing film once more. Taika Waititi is a freaking genius with this movie. It's so funny in a number of places. The music is one of my fave of the MCU films so far, and the casting - amazing. Plus, these posters of all the cast are so beautiful.

Picture
Fave picture of the month is this one of my three fave Disney Princesses, on my Christmas tree! I bought these about 3 or so years ago, and have hung them on the tree each year for my little touch of Disney!

How has your December, and the end of the year been, and what are your faves from the categories above? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)

What I Got For Christmas 2018

I had an amazing Christmas and festive period with my friends and family, and before the New Year rolls in, I wanted to do a final post about Christmas, in the form of a WIGFC post!

Disclaimer: I'm not trying to brag or show off, I just wanted to share these as I like to see what other people got themselves! So please link me you yours if you've done a similar post, so I can be nosey!

I was spoiled beyond belief and am so grateful for everything I received from my friends and family. What did you get for Christmas? Let me know on twitter on in the comments if you've done a post/vlog about your gifts! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS

I hope you all have a fantastic day, and that Santa has bought you some really awesome goodies! If anyone is planning on doing a 'Christmas Haul' over the next few weeks - please let me know as I love seeing what everyone gets - yes I'm nosey!

I'm spending the day with my Dad's family as usual, and seeing my Mum this morning, so it's all a-go here at the Tania Michele household! I hope you all have a super day with your family, friends, or anyone else you are with for the day. Speak to you all on Friday, as I'm having a couple days away from the blogosphere!

Stay safe and, Merry Christmas!

2018 Goals Review!

It's been six whole months of 2018 - honestly, where has it gone? I've had a rocky one thus far, but hoping the last six months are going to be better! As it's the middle of the year, I thought it was due time, to check over my goals for the year, and see how I've got on. The original post was the first post of the year, and then I checked in during the year, and had not done so well.

I can already say that I know I've done crap, but pushing forward into the new year, I'll try and do better!...

Personal Goals

1. Finish writing my book!
• I got the first chapter done and that was it. 
2. Lose 2 stone in weight
• Lost 8lbs
3. Keep doing the 52 Week Savings Challenge
• Gave up with this about 6 weeks in. Lost motivation!
4. See 6 films at the cinema ✔
• 7/6 -  I've seen The Greatest Showman, Black Panther, Deadpool 2, and Avengers: Infinity War, Mamma Mia, Incredibles 2 and Jurassic World 2.
5. Visit somewhere new
• If a friend's new house counts, then yes!
6. Read two books
• Managed one!
7. Do something off my 30 before 30 List
• ✔#20 is a marvel marathon, which I am currently a few films off from finishing!
• ✔ #15 Met Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Connor, who have worked on the Harley Quinn comics!
• ✔ #25 I have lost about 10lbs since January, so I'll take that!
8. Start filming, and taking pictures more often
• Really sucked here. I've had some really bad mental health months, so filming and picture taking has basically halted, and didn't pick up near the end of the year either.
9. Stop complaining so much
• Maybe 10% better here...
10. Do two more fizzy drink bans for 30 days ✔
• I did a 32 day streak in April, and then started again in May and have maybe had 10 fizzy drinks since May 1st. I'm all about water now and can easily do 3 litres per day! 

Blog Goals

1. 1200 Bloglovin followers - ❌ 1128 right now
2. 6500 Twitter followers - ❌ I had a huge clear out of who I was following, and that lost me 700 followers over 4 months. Down to 5349. 
3. 1100 Instagram followers - ❌ This is so laughable. I'm at 900.
4. 550 YouTube subscribers - ❌ 500. Hit this in November!
5. 400 Facebook page likes -❌ 337 at the moment!
6. 350,000 total blog page views - ✔ 335,546 Hit this back at the start of August! 
7. Post 3 times each week - ✔ I did this January through March, and then took a break, but I did it!
8. Allow myself 2 weeks off from blogging - twice this year - ✔ I had about 2 months a week away from blogging for my sanity and MH. 
9. Take part in more Twitter blog chats - ❌ 
10. Work with more brands this year - ✔ I've worked with three new brands so far this year, so very happy with that!

I have done so badly with these goals this year! How have you  done with your goals for the year? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)
