A look back to 2013

Happy new year everyone!  I wasn't planning on publishing another blog post until Monday 6th (when my new blogging schedule started) but I had the urge to write a post looking back at 2013, on the good and bad things that happened :)

Overall, 2013 was a good year - there weren't any deaths in my family, work was good, all in all a year to be thankful for.  In a little more detail, here's what happened :)

• Chris and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary (and 12 years in total being together)
• I spent Christmas with my family in Ireland, spending quality time with my Dad and Nana
• I lost a lot of weight (which I mostly regained...)
• The year ended with some good personal achievements at work
• We learnt how to make sushi :)
• I achieved quite a few blog milestones (reaching 1,000 then 2,000 subscribers) :)
• I travelled to London twice for blogger events and got to meet lots of lovely fellow beauty bloggers like Tattooed Tea Lady!
• I was invited to lots of local blogger events, one of the highlights being the Elf shop launch

And here's the things that weren't so good...

• I spent a night in hospital in London after having my first SVT (Supra ventricular tachycardia) - that was in April, and I've been on a waiting list to see a cardiologist all year, but I finally have an appointment for later on in Jan
• My Nana fell very ill and nearly passed away, but thankfully she pulled through :)
• Regaining the weight I lost... I'm determined to lose it again this year and keep it off!

There were quite a few other good and bad bits, but these were the main ones :)  I'm also determined that 2014 will finally be the year that Laura from A Scottish Lass and I will finally meet in real life too :D

What were your highlights of 2013?
