Happy New Year!
This is my 2014 summary so I apologise
in advance for the text heavy post. I just want to start by saying I hope
everyone had an amazing NYE, no doubt you’ll all be nursing your hangovers this
morning/ afternoon. I for one am fresh as a daisy because I decided to spend
the night with my amazing, supportive family, watching movies and eating myself
into a food coma. Can you believe 2000 is now as far away as 2030, slightly
depressing don’t you think?!
What an amazing
year 2014 has been for me, everything has started to fall into place this year
and I feel that 2014 was the year I found my true self! I started my blog at
the end of May 2014 and I can’t believe how well it’s actually taken off and
people want to actually read my blog! For those of you that don’t know I’m dyslexic
and have struggled with spelling and reading all my life, which is what had put
me off from wanting to go online and set up a blog as my confidence with
writing is so low. From having my blog, my confidence has grown so much; My
writing is always improving, I’m starting to think outside the box more, I’ve
made so many new friends and had some great opportunities along the way. 2015
is going to be the year for ‘Your Daily Dose Of Style’ so keep your eyes out
for some big things! So far ive been featured twice in a lifestyle magazine & my old Sixth Form collage has featured me in their 'Alumni Campaign' - all can be found on my features page.
In 2014 I also
got accepted onto an interning role for an independent boutique in the North
West which has enabled me to see all elements of a business and what areas I enjoy
more which is something I feel will help me when I leave university.

Another great achievement
from 2014 is that in September, I got offered the role of the ‘Deputy Lifestyle Editor’ of Pluto newspaper
which was overwhelming and has boosted my confidence greatly. After 3 months of
being in that role the opportunity arose where I was offered the ‘Lifestyle
Editor’ role which I was over the moon with as i'm very much a leader and I like having
the responsibility & creativity of the role!
My last big
achievement of 2014 was that I got accepted onto camp America and I’m going to Connecticut
for 8 weeks over summer to work as a arts and craft leader! I’m planning on documenting
this trip either via blog posts with images or vlogging (Video Blogging. I got a GoPro for my 20th birthday so I’m planning on filming a lot of
what I get up to and posting it on YouTube, so keep your eyes out for
when I create my YouTube account.
2014 has been such a busy year for me, but it
just shows hard work pays off and I’m very excited for what 2015 has to offer.

Overall 2014
has been a huge success from new beginnings to learning some tough life
lessons. From 2014 I’ve learnt that family is everything and my family is one
of a kind. You have to put yourself first sometimes because apart from family, no
one else will; it turns out your allowed to be a little selfish in your 20’s. I feel like 2015 is going to be my golden
year and I’m going to work very hard and have a lot of fun along the way to
ensure it is!
