The Most Popular New Years Resolutions of 2013

Hello darlings,

Welcome to 2014. 

I hope that you had a safe New Years Eve last night and that you turned in the new year surrounded by people you love or somewhere you were happy. 
Ok.
Time to get a little serious.
It's a new year and this is the time where we're all likely to sit down and think of what we want for the year. In doing this we often set ourselves goals and think of what we really want to achieve: we come up with New Years Resolutions. I never used to bother with making New Years Resolutions but last year I did and it was actually extraordinarily refreshing. It gave me goals to consider and keep to.

Below is a list of the most popular list of New Year's Resolutions for the year 2013. Were any of these yours? What will you try to achieve in 2014?

Which one of these could you afford to try for 2014?


I've put the ones I hope to achieve in bold.  I want to read more books (see my 2014 reading challenge post) and I want to continue saving up. I want to lose a little more weight and just generally tone my body and get a little more muscular. I want to do some work for charity. I may try to sell some old stuff on eBay and I'm happy to "re-vamp" the wardrobe by adding some cool new items and doing some more interesting things with my clothes. Recently I think I've dressed more for comfort since being in my final year of university. It's time to dress up again fabulously. What are your resolutions?
