Happy New Year! + 2016 Resolutions

Once again, long time no see. If you have followed my blog for a while you'll know that I have considered myself the worst blogger in history on various occasions and I still firmly believe that. I really don't want to look at when was the last time I posted a blog post. Is it still too late to say sorry...? I hope you accept my apology. Anyway, whether you do or you don't, allow me to wish you... A Happy New Year!

Time flies so fast and it literally freaks me out. Seriously though, the world needs to slow down. 2015 has been an interesting year, a little bit all over the place if I'm honest. I've learned a lot, mostly about the people around me. I've discovered great music, films and series. I've created amazing memories with my friends. There has also been bad moments, of course, but I always try to look at the bright side of everything.

If I'm honest, I don't really do the ''New Year's Resolutions'' thing (other than the life goal of eating healthier and doing more exercise, but you know, everyone has these ones), because I'm too much of a procrastinator and I've always thought than doing this would be a waste of time, but this year I feel different, there's something about 2016 that is giving me a very good vibe. Without further ado, these are my 2016 resolutions.

1. Find out who I really am and just enjoy being it.

2. Stop being scared of saying what I really think.

3. Start liking things because I really do and not because I want to impress someone or ''be cooler''.

4. Be more straight forward.

5. Be more confident.

6. Be more accepting of my body.

7. Learn how to play the guitar or the ukulele.

8. Stop over-thinking stuff way too much.

9. Do things because I want to and not because is what society or other people want me to do.

10. Go to the cinema regularly.

11. Travel more.

12. Write more.

13. Read more.

14. Create more in general.

15. Work harder in my studies.

16. Exercise more.

17. Stop worrying about what people think.

18. Meditate.

19. Be the best friend I can be to my friends.

20. Remember to have fun.

21. Be more grateful for everything I have.

22. Learn to letting go.

23. Being able to choose who I really want in my life.

24. Be more spontaneous. 

25. Stop being scared about the idea of love.

26. Get rid of the shitty people in my life.

27. Just be myself, once and for all.

Thank you for reading! What are your New Year's resolutions? I would love to know.

My Green Smoothie Recipe (Little Brother Approved)

Hello lovely people!
2015 is here and we all know what a new year means: Resolutions. And we all now what we mean by resolutions: Eat healthier, do more exercise, drink more water, sleep more, bla bla bla... But let's be real here, we've just finished the first month of this new year so... how many of you have sticked to your resolutions? No one raises hands but one or two people (ugh lucky you). January is a month which is meant to failure not for an apparent reason really, just for human nature, so this year I decided to start my resolutions on February, to be exact, on the 3rd of February because I just can't start my resolutions on the first day of the month, don't know why (yes I do, I'm just lazy, but don't tell anyone shhh)... To start my ''health related'' resolutions I started by getting on the trend of the green smoothies, creating my one-of-a-kind recipe which, thankfully and surprisingly, came out pretty delicious, so I thought it would be fair to share it with all of you.

THE GREEN SMOOTHIE RECIPE

1 cup of spinach
A small celery stalk
A frozen banana
A green apple
1 cup of water
1tsp. of chia seeds (you know you are doing it right when there are chia seeds...)
Optional: add a little, by little I mean tiny, bit of ginger for an extra boost

(My little brother tried it and liked it, so it's officially approved now)

Questions of the day: What are your new year's resolutions? Do you stick to them?

Love, Julia x
