Good Morning Lovelies, 

As someone who doesn’t like to make new year’s resolutions, I often spend the end of every December coming up with things I hope to achieve or do in the next year. They are often very random and in some ways easy things to do, as I don’t ever want to bring any extra pressure into my life. 

Yet, recently, after hearing the saying, “No challenge, No cure,” I decided to reevaluate what my hopes for the next 12 months are. Below are some of the dreams I have that I wanted to share with you lovelies. I am crossing everything that these come true…

To Experience More Of The World: I have three places this year that I want to go to, which include Amsterdam, Disneyland Paris and of course my beloved Ireland. Yet, I am desperate to try and go to new places to experience new things with my best friend. I have high hopes that we will take mini weekend trips, which I can’t wait to embark on. 

To Find A New Volunteering Opportunity: Last year, I found myself getting a bit overwhelmed with the volunteering position I was in and left to protect my mental health. Since then, I have been looking for something new to do and hope that 2026 brings with it a new opportunity that I completely love. 

To Meet And Make New Friends: 2025 was a year that I really thought about what I wanted in my life. And what I didn’t. No longer did I want to be taken advantage of or to not have the same respect placed on me. In 2026, I hope to meet and make new friends, who I can explore the world and opportunities with. 

To Finally Get Answers About My Health: After spending the last year still clueless about what is going on with a lot of things in my body, I want to be able to end 2026 with a lot of answers and resolutions about what is going on. I have been fighting a lot to get to the bottom of them all and am proud of how much I tackled in 2025 to get to hopefully a better place in 2026. 

To Be Happy: I won’t lie, I had a lot of heartache brought onto me in 2025. Whether it be health or family wise, I was forced to make some hard decisions to protect myself and my mum. This included losing people who I really loved and not doing what I wanted to to make sure that we stayed okay. Valuing my happiness and mind is something I fully agreed and accepted by the end of the year and I hope to continue this in the new year. This includes doing things that I wouldn’t normally do to break the fears I have about them. 

Ultimately, I simply hope that the whole of 2026 is kind to me, my mum and all of you lovelies! I hope that you get to experience all that you want to, whether that be a trip to Hawaii or even Costco (my version of heaven). Happiness is the key to 2026 and if anything tries to ruin that then put it in the fuck it bucket! Something I have grown to love over the last few months aha! 

Here’s to a brighter year lovelies!
