On the 9th of July 2020 I uploaded my Month 1 aims for my Changing my life series and now I’ve just finished Chapter 9 of my Changing My Life series and am very excited to get started on my Chapter 10 aims 🙂 Chapter 9 has been really focused on really carrying on my new workout routine, seeing friends in a Covid friendly way and GYSTING and organising my space 🙂
Favourite quote of the month: You can’t go back and change the beginning but you can start where you are and change the ending.
This month restrictions in the UK have started to lift with non-essential shops re-opening and also restaurants re-opening outside which has meant that I have been able to meet up with a few friends in a Covid safe way which has been lovely and have also been able to carry on with some of the creative ways I have been interacting with friends and family who I can’t see in person for example Skypes, book clubs with one of my friends, and doing Yoga classes and then chatting about them with my brother 🙂 Next month I will be meeting up with some more friends, cooking and carrying on with workouts xx
- Cook something new once a week- I have definitely managed to do this and more which has been so great because we have still been getting the Hello Fresh meals which are so tasty and relatively easy recipes 🙂 My first recipe was Sweet Chilli Chicken which was delish ❤ I then made Sausage Skewers with potato wedges (the potato wedges were so good) and Halloumi and vegetable pasta which was SOOO AMAZING!! I then made a Chilli and a Roasted butternut Squash curry which was so amazing and I think my favourite curry I’ve made so far 🙂 The next week I made Halloumi tacos (can you tell I love Halloumi :P), Korma curry and Chipotle Spiced Chicken which was pretty spicy but still tasty 🙂 Finally I made Chicken Thigh and Chorizo pasta, Chicken chow mein and Asian style sticky pork which was so good and the first time I have actually cooked pork 🙂
- Continue sorting out a different part of my bedroom every week and start gathering stuff for the charity shop and Depop: This month I have managed to have quite a few sort outs of my bedroom- I had a sort out of my important documents folder, organised my camera equipment, organised the bottom of my big wardrobe and also had an organise of my other wardrobe 🙂 My final organisation was to organise my skincare drawer which I have been meaning to do for ages! I have a little pile of stuff that I am either going to take to the charity shop or am going to sell on Depop including clothes, make-up bags and a few other bits 🙂
- Go shopping at some point this month- I have actually been shopping quite a few times this month which has been so so nice 🙂 My first shopping trip out was to Croydon shopping centre and then I have also been to Camden, Bromley and Brighton as well 🙂 I actually posted a haul from my first two shopping trips out and also a book haul because I have been ordering and buying so many books recently!
- See some of my friends in person and also have a skype session :)- I have managed to see quite a few of my friends this month which has been so so lovely 🙂 I saw my friend Ellie at the start of the month for a drink in her garden which was so nice 🙂 I then have also managed to see my friend Dorothy and we went out for lunch at Borough Market which was amazing 🙂 I then met up with my friend Hannah for a photoshoot and finally have met up with my friends Birunda and Barghi throughout the month 🙂 I went to Camden, box park and Richmond park with Barghi and have met up with Birunda at my house in the garden 🙂 I also managed to Skype Hannah and Anna in the middle of the month as well 🙂
- Continue working out semi regularly and complete the Spring Yoga challenge on the Bad Yogi Studio :)- I actually managed to complete the Spring Yoga challenge on Bad Yogi Studio which was AMAZING I’m so happy I managed to do that 🙂 I have also been for 7 runs this month which is pretty good and have even started running outside with Maya which has been really cool 🙂 I have also done a few workouts on the I-FIT 🙂
- Continue working on my training knowledge and do a work webinar every week :)- I have been keeping up with my training and work videos online and Maya actually went back to puppy class with month which is really fun 🙂 Her retrieve is coming on so well and I’m still keeping on top of her other tricks as well 🙂 This month for webinars I have been working through the Victoria Stillwell academy free online courses- the first course I did was about being a good pet neighbour which was in three different parts and then I am currently half-way through the second online course on her website which is about building your dogs confidence 🙂
- Reach 1600 followers on my blog and do at least one photoshoot :)- I am absolutely blown away by the fact that I have actually managed to reach 1600 followers on this blog thank you so much for supporting me and following along with my content ❤ I also did actually manage to do a photoshoot with my friend Hannah in my garden and also at my local woods which was Taylor Swift themed which was pretty fun 🙂
I have had such a lot of fun these last few months working through my goals and sorting my life out and am so ready to continue on this trajectory and get more goals done next month 🙂
- Cook 1 new thing per week and also bake something new this month 🙂
- Continue working out regularly and do Yoga 5 times a week 🙂
- Continue sorting out my bedroom and GYSTING 🙂
- See my friends and also celebrate my Dad’s birthday 🙂
- Write up a chapter of my Nans travel diary 🙂
- Complete 4 work webinars, continue watching work and training videos and take Maya to puppy class and teach her a new trick 🙂
- Reach 1650 followers, do a photoshoot and also watch some camera videos 🙂
Let me know in the comments what I should include in my June goals and also what you have been up to this month 🙂

Are you studying veterinary medicine? That is so cool! For some reason, I thought you were doing administrative work for a business company lol
That’s awesome that you’re donating stuff to charity btw. I really need to do a deep clean of the house. We’re moving at the end of the month and there’s so much stuff that I want to sort through, donate, and sell!
