It's a cosy Friday evening in the Furness household as I'm writing this. I meant to get this post up yesterday but I was an emotional wreck (it all started in the morning with the first listen to 'Supermarket Flowers' off Ed Sheeran's new album and it just went downhill from there...) and it just had to wait. So I had a treat yo' self evening - face masks, fluffy socks, manicures, candles and all the lovely stuff that leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy.
But, it's the start of a new month - HOW?!
I love March - a few signs of spring pop up. Daffodils, snowdrops, bluebells appear, blossom starts to, well... blossom! and you start to feel a little warmth from the sunshine when it decided to make an appearance!
Time to reflect and think of my 'to-do's for March.
- M A R C H -
TO - DO LIST
- Finish off book two and start reading a third book. After a mammoth Amazon order so I'm stocked up for the next few months. I might film a video on the books I've read so far and ones I'm planning to read.
- Content plan for March and stick to it.
- Think about what I'm eating and get some regular exercise - 3 months until my holiday, I feel like that's a good amount of time to actually see some difference. 'A year ago you'll wish you started today' is SO true, so I need to remind myself that, like, every-damn-day.
- Treat myself to something. I've eyed up a nice suede jacket in Primark and some gorgeous Spring shirts in Zara. Financially times are tough, but I think it's important to treat yourself to a little something every now and then.
- Reflect more. What's been worrying me, the possible reasons why and how I'm going to deal with those thoughts.
- Embrace the little Spring Jewels that will be popping up all around from now on. Take more photos of them.
- Read more blogs & magazines. I have a whole bookmark folder saved of blogs I adore and a whole heap of magazines I need to flick through. It's perfect for when I'm feeling a little uninspired so I need to remember that this month.
- SPRING CLEAN. Mainly because I LOVE it, but also because it's needed. Especially in the full to bursting wardrobe!
What are your little goals for March?
Post a Comment
I feel like the start of every month is a checkpoint.
It's a great point to stop for a moment and check you're on track and see what you need to do to get that little bit closer to your goals. I set some mini targets in January and I managed to do about half of them, purely because I couldn't really remember what I wanted to do. This month I'm going to write them out and put them up above my desk. So if any of them seem similar, it may be because I didn't quite get there last month!

- Read another book. #2 of the hopeful 12 this year!
- Keep trying meditation and making time to stop for a moment.
- Apply for at least 10 jobs/internships. It may seem a small number for a whole month, but I want to be realistic and I want to apply for jobs I really would be happy to get and I have worked out that finding those takes time!
- Take better care of my skin. It is dryer than the Sahara, naaat good.
- Make more of my time. Job hunting leaves me with lots of spare time, sometimes I just need a break from it, so I want to make the most of the time I have before I'm working more.
-STOP SNOOZING. For real this time. It is not good.
What are your plans for February?
It is all very well me setting these New Years Resolutions, but I feel like this year it is important to focus on monthly goals to help me achieve them rather than focusing on the year as a whole. I think it's nice to have a few smaller, less pressing goals that you just want to do, well, because you can!
I also want to tell you about this steal of a Jumper that I'm slightly OBSESSED with. I had a bit of a 'new year, new improved me' moment when I bought it so clearly, it deserves a blog post.
- J A N U A R Y -

- read one book
- start weekly vlogs back up
- peel, chop, slice, dice and freeze fruit ready for morning smoothies
- start meditation, stick to it
- be better at posting about new posts/videos on twitter, facebook, pinterest & instagram.
- find and start my first 30 Day Challenge
- make a good start on the whole 'stop snoozing' my alarm thing...
- clear out my Spotify playlists. It goes back to 2011. Eek.
Now for the jumper. This pale grey and bright yellow bad boy was a steal at just £12 from Primark.
My best friend Charlie and I spotted it at the same time, tried it on and both loved it back in December, so it was purchased there and then. But I knew I wouldn't wear it until the New Year. I'm not entirely sure why, I think the bright yellow just made me feel like it'd be the perfect 'fresh' colour to wear in the New Year and it would make me feel all peppy and productive whenever I put it on. A little odd, but I just went with it, a boost in productivity is always welcome no matter how it comes about.
The jumper is so lovely and chunky that it feels luxurious and expensive, without the purse actually being hurt in the process. It's also super warm too, which is a huge bonus in chilly January. I'm also thinking it'll look nice in the Spring when you don't need a big coat, but still want to keep warm if the sun goes in!
Have you set any smaller goals for January?
