N I N E T E E N ♥︎

Another year has come and gone, and yesterday, on the 29th of July, I turned another year older! Nineteen years and counting, I've entered the last of my teenage years, before next years milestone of the big two-oh.

I spent the day at uni, a group of us - including a friend who also turned 19 on the same day - went to the Emporium for lunch, followed by a cheeky macaron-cookie style treat (with peanut butter filling, I was in love)! Then went to my favourite cafe with mum in the afternoon. It wasn't too eventful, as we'll be heading out to a buffet lunch at the Crown Conservatory next week (due to a last minute booking meaning we missed out on going for my birthday) - I'll definitely be posting about that!

Anyway. Nineteen years! It doesn't feel any different, however I feel more aware of the fact that I'm getting pretty close to my twenties and so have decided that for this post, I'll be doing a list!

A list of nineteen things I want to actively work towards doing/achieving over the next 12 months. I guess it's a sort of 'New Years Resolutions' style post, but for my birthday!

1. Learn to speak basic French. Je m'appelle Chontelle!

2. Get my P Plates.

3. Spend less money.

4. Spend more time with friends and family.

5. Visit Hobart, Tasmania.

6. Be more happy.

7. Achieve a Distinction average at uni.

8. See the 12 Apostles / Great Ocean Road.

9. Perfect my winged eyeliner.

10. Exercise more often.

11. Learn how to use highlighter/bronzer really well.

12. Visit Canberra, ACT.

13. Finish reading a book for the first time in a while.

14. Focus on buying mostly basics/neutrals for my wardrobe, rather than spending big on trends/colours I won't wear for long or often.

15. Get an internship in PR/Social Media/Marketing (a longer one this time, so I can really get involved).

16. Post videos on YouTube at least once a fortnight.

17. Get out more, and explore the city I live in.

18. Save up at least half of what I'll need to go back to Europe!

19. Be more confident.
