We’ve reached July, Summer is here and we are in the middle of a heat wave. The good weather has been nice, not being able to sleep at night, not so nice. It has also made it a little hard to concentrate and want to write. I would much rather be lying on the beach than sat at home cleaning or writing lol.
I haven’t written nearly as much as I should have done this month. There have been no sponsored posts this month, but I did co-host the #KCACOLS linky with the lovely A moment with Franca. This is the third time that I have co-hosted the linky with her, I really enjoyed it.
So on to how I got on with my goals.
Go to the gym 3 times a week – I have pretty much done this, there have been one or two times where I’ve done overtime at work and not felt like going to the gym so I’ve skipped it. I think I might have to go during the day sometimes instead of the evening to try to compensate for this.
Use more make-up – I know this sounded like a weird goal, but I have so much make up, it seems a shame for it just to sit there. I have been using different colour eyeshadows, browns, blues and a lilac! It has been nice to change things up and use different things. Foundation is something I am still not using everyday, but I am hoping to change that.
Interact more on social media – Instagram has been easy to interact more on, I have done quite well with this and my followers are slowly growing. I have had a few conversations on Twitter, but I think I could still do more on there.
Onto my goals for July.
Mix my gym workouts up – I have got back into the habit of doing the same kinds of workouts again. New workouts should be easy to find on YouTube etc. Need to get working a range of muscles to get into a bit better shape.
Get back to reading more – The year started off well with me reading more, but lately life/work has just got in the way. The downtime I was having while reading was really nice and I was feeling less stressed. So, I am aiming to read at least every other day, even if it is only for a few minutes.
Write more posts – My blog post writing has really slowed down the last couple of months. I really need to get back to it. The heat and life have made it hard to put much time into writing. The blog was going really well and I want to get it going even better.
Do more vlogs – Booey and I were doing a few vlogs and they seemed to be going down well. But as with the blog, life has gotten in the way and we haven’t had time to do them. It would be great to be doing more of these again as we both really enjoyed doing them.
Hopefully I can organise myself better and it would be easy to reach my goals.
What are you hoping to achieve this month?
Take care everyone.

Good Luck with your goals!
My goals for July? For a start, I think I will have to cut down the time I spend online and tackle the chores I have been avoiding. Like cleaning the house, for instance!

Vlogs are hard going to make them interesting, going to the gym is much more therapeutic to me! #KCACOLS

Great goals lovely. It’s always good to write them down.
I’ve been getting more back into vlogging now but it is hard to balance it out with blogging too x

Yeah it is a hard balance, hoping I can work it out

Sounds good. I definitely need to read and write more. Preferably before I start my new job. #kcacols

I think the heatwave has stumped most of us to some degree (no pun intended!). Motivating yourself to do anything is challenging to say the least! #kcacols

Yes it is, so hard to concentrate with the heat

Good luck with the goals! I know what you mean with the makeup, I have thrown so much out over the years because I just never make the effort to use it and it gets wasted 🙁 Thanks for linking up with #KCACOLS hope you can join us again next time 🙂

I am determined that I am going to use it all lol!
