Goodbye 2014...Hello 2015

Resolutions are something I tend to always make but most definitely break...so why not follow tradition and share what happened last year and what I hope to happen (give it three months!) this year...as well as update you on a few things!

Last year I set myself waaaaay too many things to accomplish as the list goes like;
Eat healthier - I know, so inventive
No more sweets, chocolate, crisps and fizzy drinks (lollypops and Cadbury Bourneville as exceptions) - I actually did quite well with this one!
Read before going to bed - technically sometimes I did, but in the dark on my kindle so not the best
Leave my phone outside my room at night - ahahahahaha
Look after my skin better - whoops forgot about that
Blog more - I'll let you be the judge of that one
Learn how to drive- I turned 17 on the 20th October and still haven't sat behind the wheel of a car (I'm not making excuses here- I genuinely have been busy of weekends and when I get home from school it's been too dark :/)

This year I have been a little more reasonable with myself;
Again I'm going to try cut out sweets like haribo, only have dark chocolate, crisps made from potato etc and fizzy drinks unless out for tea as ordering something other than lemonade is too much of a faff sometimes.
For my birthday I received a smoothie/juice maker, I plan to make something at least once a week!
I've never had a serious break out of spots on my face which I guess I'm quite lucky for but I do suffer from blackheads! I have tried so many things to attempt to get rid of them and nothing seems to work- this year I'm gonna find the solution. Got any ideas? Please leave them below!
This is more of a bucket list type thing rather than a proper resolution but it's to take more photos and capture those little memories which can be easily forgotten.
The final one - decide what I want to do with my life. Ever since summer people have always asked me what I want to do when I leave school and my reply is always "Hopefully go to university but I don't know what for". After a while it gets annoying having to repeat this phrase over and over so this year I want to get my head around what I actually want to study when I leave school and where I want to go to do it.2014 had it's ups and downs in terms of blogging but this year I'm going to try keep on my A-game. I realised that I don't have to write about certain things and be tied down to one style. This year I'm going to write the blog I wish I had discovered growing up, tell stories and give advice, and just write about what I want to no matter how strange to some it may seem.

In other news, changes that will be happening around here on my blog is hopefully a new layout that I actually like and want to keep! I've never been happy with the way my blog looks as its too this and too that. But I don't know how to change and edit it properly that I'm 100% happy with it. Hopefully, some of my friends who know what to do and know how to do anything on photoshop would be willing to help me out and create a new design for 'ezzlepops'.
One of my blogging friend's, Carolyn, and I have had an idea for something exciting that (fingers crossed) will be happening in 2015 - we will need your help, but more on that later!
I have a new series that will be going up later this month that hopefully you will all enjoy, relate to and find useful!

Did you succeed in 2014?
What are your resolutions for 2015?
Any tips or links regarding designs, please do not hesitate to leave a comment or drop me a message!
