Anyhow, I thought I would share some of my goals for this year & if I really accomplished any of my goals from last year.
Goals from 2015
- Learn how to do my brows & to discover my favorite products for them.
- Save up enough money to go to London, England with my sister, Gaby, best friend, Achaia, and her sister, Abiah in 2016.
- Get back into sewing, since I miss doing it.
- Make a blogging schedule and stick to it.
- Create an e-pattern to sell.
Goals accomplished in 2015
- Yes, I did learn how to do my brows and found some amazing products that work for me. I did have to go to higher-end brands like: Benefit & Anastasia of Beverly Hills to locate some products that work for my brows, but they are totally worth the price to me.
- Nope. I didn't save any money for London. Mostly because I suffered from tons of car problems this past year, so that took much of my money.
- I didn't get too much into sewing this past year, but I did design & sewed a 1950s styled halter dress in August. #babysteps
- Never got around to making a blogging schedule, but I seriously need to. I feel like my blog has really suffered last year, and most of my posting has shifted to Instagram since I bought an iPhone last year and it is quick & easy for my up-and-down schedule and life.
- The idea to create an e-pattern had completely disappeared from my memory a couple of months into the year last year.
Blogging Highlights from 2015
- Connected with many PRs and brands over the year, several of which are long time favorites of mine: Covergirl, Butter London, Proganix, Yes to..., Pacifica Beauty, and Borghese are some of those brands.
- My Instagram has really taken off this past year as I've worked on improving it and trying to create a look for my account.
- Did a couple of sponsored posts this summer which paid for my girls weekend trip to Chicago at the end of June.
- Was able to meet up with the Boyer girls with my sisters for a fun day filled with lots of talking and shopping.
- Hosted two blog events: #1outfit3ways & #AutumnTrendsBF
- Started to incorporate a lot more beauty posts into Bramblewood Fashion.
Goals for 2016
- Save up for a "new" car [not sure how long my current car is going to last]
- Look into becoming a makeup artist + possibly going to school
- Go on a weekend trip to Nashville
- Learn how to contour properly [already own the LORAC contour palette]
- Upload a Youtube at least every two or three weeks
- Post a blog post at least once a week
What are some of your goals for 2016?
Happy new year dear!

This post was awesome Ashley because I was so excited to hear and read everything! I and one of my best friends are planning on going to the UK sometime soon (fingers crossed) and I was so excited to hear you are wanting to go too:) Also, that is sooooo cool you are thinking about becoming a makeup artist! You would be so PERFECT at that. I have so enjoyed and loved getting to know you through your blog and Instagram! Such a treat when I find fellow bloggers who hold my same standards for life and love of certain things in life (MARVEL).
ReplyDeleteBest of wishes for your 2016!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

ReplyDeleteYou've got some pretty exciting goals here! It was so much fun to read this post; it's always encouraging to see when + how you accomplished a goal, and I hope that you are able to check off everything on this year's list :)
ReplyDeleteLove the goals (especially getting a new car. That's one of mine too. XP)
ReplyDeleteIf you end up coming to Nashville, do let me know! I'd love to meet up/do some blog photos/interview/collab or something!
