So at the beginning of the year I
wrote down 10 Goals. I made the list of my goals my lock screen image for a while as a
reminder but changed it after this photoshoot because I absolutely love the pictures
Linguini took. My Wallpaper, Screensaver, BBM picture and Whatsapp picture are
from this shoot, shows how much I Love them. If you haven’t got in touch with him yet, I don’t know what you
are waiting for o! If you are shy, just holla at me and I’ll holla at him for
you.
Anyways, back to my goals, I’m
pretty pleased with the progress I’ve made so far and I’m excited for what is
to come. I urge you to look back at your New Year Resolutions/Goals for the
year and take the necessary steps to complete them. Have a look at mine!

Grade 5 theory and Grade 6 practical
|
I can’t do both exams this year so it has to
be amended. I've started rehearsing with the Orchestra at Muson Centre on a
weekly basis so my Sight Reading is improving. Thus I’ll be pretty prepared
for my Grade 6 next year. I have textbooks for the Grade 5 theory in
October/November but truth be told, I haven’t started studying yet.

|
Blog nominated for certain awards
|
The blog has been started and I’m posting
regularly, the number of followers and
views need to increase though so I’m expanding the content and promoting it on
various forms of social media just to get it’s name out there.

Hair growth
|
I think my hair has actually cut a bit this
year. Now, I’m paying more attention it; I've had three protective styles done
to it:
a) The weave I had to cross into the New Year
with a closure
b) Crotchet Braids for 2 weeks in Easter
c) Long weave with my natural hair out for 2
weeks for my Mum’s Birthday (She doesn’t like the closure so I had to blowdry
the front quite regularly)
I ordered a lime green spray bottle from The
Beauty Boon and filled it with Coconut Oil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Leave in
Conditioner, Water and Glycerin. I like
what it does to my hair.
I also had an Aphogee Protein Treatment 2
days ago to strengthen the hair and reduce breakage. I’ll deep condition next
week and I watch youtube videos and read blogs related to natural hair pretty
frequently.

Savings
|
Haven’t touched my allowee yet so that’s
something. I need to invest it in stocks or a mutual fund because it’s just
lying there in my NYSC Account.

Nysc band on the map/impactful project
|
We have a website now and I have posted some
of our videos on youtube. The band is made up of really talented musicians so
there is much more to be done.

Decide on the next phase of your life
|
I’m someone’s PA at the moment, started about
2 weeks ago. I want to work in the industry she’s in. I’m on probation at the
moment so we’ll see how things go after the trial period. I’m giving it all I’ve
got sha.

I would love to know how much progress you’ve made with your goals
so do comment below!!
Congratulations!!!!
Tuke this is great! I've got my long term goal which I've put on my blog but not short term like this! Gonna have to do this....
ReplyDeleteNat x
Awww, Thank you Natalie 😊 I just checked out your blog, it's pretty interesting how you got into Modelling. I probably won't be as specific when writing out my long term goals, plus one never knows what surprises God has in store for us. But, yeah, you should definitely do a short term goals list and maybe even add steps to take to achieve those goals. I'm looking forward to seeing some of your designs 😊
DeleteI deffo will do. I thought of that when I read your post. It just makes things so much easier to achieve!
DeleteI deffo agree on the God surprising us front! All we can do is write the vision and commit it to Him. If He says stop, we stop. If He says go, we go!
Lovely, you and me both! I can't wait to start, but for now it's time to prepare and perfect my craft x
Yay my short term goal was to win the bag, n I did....luckily tho. Real goal is to get a great job and be financially able to help others. God willing
ReplyDeleteLool, I'm glad you did and I pray you achieve your real goals very soon😊
DeleteYou haven't touched your allowee! I'm impressed lol.
ReplyDeleteI wrote goals at the beginning of the year but this has definitely reminded me to review them. Thanks!
Hehe, Thanks, I never activated the ATM card for that account so I wouldn't be tempted. Yeah, reviewing them will help you plan for the rest of the year and remind you of goals you had forgotten.
Deletei didnt activate atm God knows but when i got really tempted off to the bank i went
DeleteLOL, it's understandable!
DeleteWhere did you get your glycerin from?? I've searched everywhere!
ReplyDeletewww.thevelvetrow.blogspot.com
I bought mine in England at Boots but you can get it in Lagos from http://hairbeautyhub.com/vegetable-glycerine-250ml?filter_name=glycerine or http://thekinkyapothecary.blogspot.com/p/apothecary.html.
DeleteIs your hair natural?
No, natural hair isn't for me haha. But glycerine is a pretty good moisturizer so I want to use it in a few DIY projects for the blog
