I can’t believe that in just a few hours, 2014 will be here! Do you feel like 2013 has flew by like I do? This last year for the blog was pretty good. I know that I have slacked on posting, but eventually, I picked up the slack and got back in the groove of things.
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year

I love your stats and overview, and your resolutions! I want to do #5 for BeautyJudy! Good luck I am sure you will be able to achieve your goals!
Thank you! It's cool how wordpress provides stats at the end of the year. good luck to you in the new year
I love all your blogging resolutions – I tend to skive off taking good photographs and just point, shoot and post. I've made my beauty resolutions but forgot to add the camera part!
My recent post Beautyblender Detailers makeup brushes review, usage and photos
I need to get into using photoshop. I have it and don't use it. I should have added that to my goals too.
Happy New Year 🙂
Thank you, Phyrra
Great goals! I need to comment more on blogs. I added that to my list of things I want to work on next year.
Thank you. I need to maybe go to a library and do my editorial calendar and redo my media kit.
Happy New Year 🙂 I pinned your contouring post and people LOVE it, I think it's over 500 pins now I get constant notifications from it 🙂 One of my faves!!
